I hope.

Woohoooo 🥳👏🙌🎉

You and me both

Yep, I caught that too. A nice nod there.

Agree. This actress was not the right choice. I’m not moved by her at all so far. Bai Jing Ting is doing great though. His face is communicating volumes without even uttering a word. This is also the most handsome I’ve seen him. He’s believable as the Sang Yan described in the novel. The actress, however, doesn’t match the novel’s description at all.

Kangning (the 3rd sis and a twin herself) and Chai An had twins whom he called “The Chubbies.” Second sister and her silly husband had a daughter. I don’t remember the episodes. You don’t ever see the twins, but the last episode, you see second sister’s daughter.

yes

She’s loud and annoying, but she’s also warm and kind. She’s the rock of the Li family. She’s who made her daughters such strong, outstanding women.

Dismal drama. FL character—😑

The Director does not waste any time giving us what we came here for. Ep 1 is fire right off the bat and I’m here for it 🔥😄😉💋🔥.

You don’t need to school me on Park Min Young. She’s one of my absolute faves. I am well aware of her vast body of work and nearly 20 years in the biz. I only mentioned one of her recent dramas that I enjoyed because the previous commenter had said she made bad drama choices recently. I merely pointed out that her most recent one, Marry My Husband, was great. I wasn’t discrediting her other numerous popular works.

I’m on episode 25 and it’s so full of angst that it’s pure drudgery getting through the series. I keep wanting the sadness and troubles to end, but they just keep coming.

“Marry My Husband” was really good. I rewatched several times last year. However, I didn’t enjoy her two dramas before that, the ones about the meteorological news station and the contract-marriage-for-hire one—both were really bad.

Justice? I thought things got resolved.

Shouhua was so reserved that I couldn’t see any chemistry between them. He certainly wanted her, but she was not affectionate at all. She gave him that little peck on the forehead and that was it 😳😂. I kept thinking, “He’s going to get tired of her distance and reserve.”

The best couple, hands down, was fourth sister, Haode & Shen Huizhao. OMG 💕

Perhaps it is revisionist history, but the drama was a lot of fun nonetheless. Perhaps, however, women had clever means of surviving and maneuvering those harsh patriarchal times in ways that surpass our current understanding.

She’s the reason the family was so warm, loving, and united. She taught her girls, by example, how to be strong, but kind women. 💪🏽💕

Love this interview! 🥰They are so great together. So much warmth and personality, both of them. No wonder their chemistry was so good in the drama. I get the feeling we will see this pairing again in another drama one day.

Lots of twists and turns, angst and fun, romance, and family love. A delightful drama. The writing and pacing were a bit off at times, but overall a very enjoyable watch.
