WAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH...I know! Those overbearing mothers or in-laws! YIKES!!! So oppressive!

I really love the scene where Qin Shi sneaked into YH's arms as he was trying to make coffee. Very relatable/realistic/smooth!

Zinaera has brought up some points, but I want to add something, too. When Qin Shi and YH had a "fight", Qin Shi waited until YH was ready to tell her about what was wrong. YH knocked on her bedroom door and then they had a conversation to clear up the atmosphere. I feel like that was what Qin Shi is like as a person. Not someone who asks so many questions about the partner's past.

Same. After knowing that they had cut some scenes, that was my suspicion, too.

Hmmm...my feeling is not that she's not interested, but he talks too much (having to tell the story from A to Z). I think Qin Shi prefers a more direct approach in terms to YH's past. Don't get me wrong, I have this habit myself (telling the details of a story/explaining things too much), but I also know some of my friends prefer a shorter summary. Every time Qin Shi and YH talk, they are always direct and to the point.

YESSSSSSSS!!!! I enjoyed watching his reaction, too he he he...

Indeed. In her naivety, she thought it was the best way to pay back for (what she believed to be) Qin Shi's wrong deeds (betraying Tao and dumping him like that).

Then I started laughing when it turned out that Qin Shi was walking the wrong way around towards the exit, after the gorgeous wind effect on her hair and her victorious look. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH...Yang Hua was so blinded by her that he didn't even realize they were walking the wrong way.

DANG, I was clapping SO hard at the scene where Qin Shi was confronting Yang Hua's boss. WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yeah, for me this is one plot hole. It would have been MUCH better if there was no lie about having a child, even if the lie is having a sick child that is being treated abroad (no need for the child to be present).

No worries, jump in whenever you want he he he he...your nickname makes me sing "Iris" right now btw ha ha ha ha...

And in that kind of culture, being disrespectful to your parents is considered bad luck (heaven is below your mother's feet yadda yadda yadda), so I find it all the more frustrating. Just because one has their own opinions and make their own decision doesn't mean they disrespect their parents. Besides, who's the one marrying/living with the girl/guy? Not the parents. OK, end of rant ha ha ha...

Oh, I haven't seen those OST videos. Thanks for sharing your POV. I also don't like how rough TJH can be with QS (like the hand grabbing as well as when he tried to remind her not to ass-lick her boss). Although I appreciated his effort to scold her, but the way he did it was so rough (I would have been offended).

Agree fully that YH's character is so refreshing he he he...the dramaland is already so full of the typical cliche male characters.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH...loving your analogy. I don't dislike him, but I don't like him, either. Totally not my type (just meh). Gentle Yang Hua is more my type. He supports FL gently, reminds her of the more important things gently, too.

Agree, he doesn't seem like he'll fight his mom for Qin Shi. Instead, the next girlfriend is the one that his mom definitely approves.

Great points, John, regarding how deep the relationship was between the two of them and how he moved on pretty easily. To me, it seems that TJH is still heavily influenced by his mother (at least from the bits and pieces I can see). If the mother and Qin Shi have a fight, who will TJH defend? I can't say for sure he'd defend Qin Shi.

The 7 year thing reminds me of the 7-year Itch in a relationship ha ha ha ha ha ha...

I'm from SE Asia and for me, TJH's mom is hella annoying (I know some of my friends' SE MILs who are overbearing, too - FYI, my MIL is not Asian). Mind you, I'm not defending TJH (or anyone). Just stating my observation. My point is more about there may be MORE conflicting feelings on TJH's part compared to Qin Shi, because exactly what you said. Qin Shi knew she would never get TJH's mom's approval.

Tao Jun Hui + Qin Shi were together for 7 years (if I remember correctly) and they even bought an apartment together, although when they broke up Qin Shi's dad paid TJH so that Qin Shi became the sole owner of the apartment. Qin Shi was the one breaking up with him (in the past clip, it just showed that she left TJH's mom's place as the scene of their break-up). So TJH wasn't the one wanting to break up.

Tao Jun Hui with current girlfriend/fiancee. They've been together less than 2 years (because TJH and Qin Shi broke up 2 years ago). Girlfriend much younger but with rich parents (not a broken family), so TJH's mom approves. Not sure how much he loves her, although he does dote on her.

Still I think the sudden break-up after a SEVEN-year relationship which *he* was the one that got dumped was probably also one of the reasons why he may have conflicting emotions regarding Qin Shi. It's not a clean breakup where both parties have moved on and have no feelings with each other anymore. Added to this mess is the lies that Qin Shi have built at work.

My extra thoughts on Tao Jun Hui (just rambling here instead of in other people's thread LOL!).

Me, too!!!!!! Can't wait for the next episodes!

Additional note: Two decades ago my friend broke up with her long-term boyfriend. She felt she had made it clear why they broke up, but the guy called me crying after they had just broken up (I knew him, too, otherwise he wouldn't have called me). He said he just couldn't understand why she broke up with him, so I called her (pretending not to know about the break-up). She explained everything and told me about this and then I called him to explain why she broke up with him. He felt better after he figured out what went wrong.

Another friend of mine was dumped by her boyfriend ages ago and she came to my house crying. She didn't understand why he broke up with her, so for some time she became obsessed with dieting. Unfortunately in her case I couldn't help ask him why. I feel that the way people break up can also affect their psyche so much (just like in TJH's case).
