I'm still having difficult with the therapy "dates." Are they real or XX's delusions?

It made me giggle to see those jabs at An Miu. XX was targeting well. I see the An Miu character as a petulant child. It was good to see accountability being placed on her by the "adults."

I agree with you! I liked how MM set boundaries in this episode. I look forward to seeing her maintain those boundaries. Sen is a big mess and he needs therapy...LOTS of therapy. I tried to be lenient since this is his first relationship. BUT, he's got more issues than Vogue magazine!!!!!

Yes!!!!!! I meant LL. Oops!

I think MM has lost herself to that trash she's so deluded about. I'm interested to see what the real MM is like. She needs to be single and get healthy before she takes on broken Sen. He too is lost in his delusions about MM. Dang it! Everybody needs therapy!!!!

Exactly! AX thinks he's getting emotional support but he's just being drained. MM is completely self-absorbed.

I think that AX and his wife built their relationship on passion and need. The passion has subsided and the need has been satisfied for AX. It's like being overfed and not desiring or needing food any more. His relationship with his wife, if they are BOTH willing, needs to be carefully rebuilt or entirely demolished. This directionless middle ground is not helping either party.

That emotional infidelity is awful. Those crack people or crumb snatchers getting struggling people in their "emotional support" boat and creating entrapment and fostering emotional dependence disguised as romance are disgusting. Breaking that bond is tricky. That's why I love Gong. He struggled, but discovered that it wasn't romantic love, and put both relationships in their proper places. It takes time and your partner (e.g. AX's wife) has to be totally committed to the relationship/person to accept their behaviors while "righting the ship."

AND, who was she talking to about "getting the shots?" It sounds like a job senior...OR, Madam Entrapment. Has the madam moved on to targeting our ML through "unrequited love sister" perhaps. I know...I'm just all over the place.

Exactly! To manipulate a very vulnerable, physically ill person is heinous!

If Ms. Patient is indeed the sister of Club Entrapment Madam then she may be a victim or that woman's twisted perspective. To me, it looks like madam/pimp planted a lot of doubt in Ms. Patient, derailing her happiness with a devoted husband. That whole plot device is incomplete for me. But, this drama is really good at "entrapping" us as well!!!!!

I think that pimp/madam wants to ruin FL since she apparently doesn't like that she didn't/doesn't choose sex and is seeking an uncomplicated life. There's a lot of jealousy in that one.

When I watched the scene in the dessert restaurant between SD and MM, I noticed that he split into 2 personalities. At the beginning, he was wearing a shirt that had white plaid on one side and red plaid on the other. When he had the good versus bad convo, the shirts become all red plaid and all white plaid. The violence with the denial of sex was another giant red flag. He seems to always be a simmering pot, ready to boil at the slightest provocation.

Guan Jie is a pimp.

I worry that SD will cause MM physical harm with his scary mood swings and dual personalities.

This drama sends me back in time...enjoying Hong Kong Indy movies on my day off. I love all the flawed characters, and the intense sadness of people longing to be with that special someone, but only having "stolen" moments, and the grieving victims that those moments are stolen from.

Often, I'll watch a drama simply because he is one of the supporting cast members. He is so talented!!!!! He's played some memorable characters.

Ugh! That was a lot of responsibility to lay at the feet of the "son in law!" Keeping dementia from the people you live and work with is gonna be tricky!

I agree! Kinda like a serial killer suddenly being remorseful. It's not consistent to the character.

I think Jae I will finally end his daddy! At least I hope so!

Yuk! I was hoping SIL wouldn't seek or get redemption. Of course, I really like the completely comedic and unhinged character she is now. She's like that drug addicted aunt that keeps showing up uninvited to family gatherings, with tremendous "crackhead" energy!

She's over 175 cm and those high heels put her at 1 meter and above.

Team manager displaying the same vicious tactics as SIL. Both of them drinking from the piss and vinegar fountain! Cruella De Vil needs to sit her ass down!!!!

Right?!!!! I forgot about mom in the revenge soup too! SIL wants ML to lose a loved one, mom bitter because she married a cheater wants to deprive her child of motherhood and 2ML being a selfish, entitled creep thinking that the only thing holding the leads together is an unborn child. That's too much negativity for the fragile system FL has to grow a healthy baby. Which like you pointed out, may be her only baby.
