I hope coffee house gramps takes care of her, so she can spend her days in the past when they were in their "radiant season."

I had the same thought. I expected the cheating because he was depending on Chan to maintain his entire relationship. It seemed like he did not offer any emotional labor to support that relationship. I bet he and Miss Jingle Jangle are having their happily ever after with no thought to the destruction they caused.

My gay bones are hoping Mr. Fabulous designer gets a hook up. :)

I don't like when that happens. The screenwriting depends on a 2 episode viewing and when an ep gets postponed, it's like driving a car with 1 flat tire. It would be nice if we get 3 eps next week. Then the timing and cliff hangers won't be out of sync.

I get that doc is trying to project an image of being healthy, trying to work and be normal during this situation. It's all smoke and mirrors with that man. He's so creepy and slick. To me, he's just as evil as LL with those whisperings. Ugh! Do you think he's the one actually working with Guan to demolish FL?

I, too, am worried that team bitchstreet (love that) will be a major problem until the last episode.

AX is like a drug addict trying to reform and LL is his drug dealer. Sadly, she's not ever going away. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back for AX. If he truly wants to be free, he can end it and block her, or does her name appear in published musical colaborations? Is there a working contract between them? She's only in the friend group because of AX, right?

So many questions, but I'm really enjoying the drama AND the chat group!

Thanks for the correction.

It's going to be interesting to see what team pimp/am/ex concoct to throw at FL. I also don't buy into Sen's 180 degree change overnight. He's entirely too volatile when he doesn't get his way. I agree that Yu is slipping and I hope she can catch herself before it's too late...it's the makings of a new pimp. AM is just as disgusting and manipulative as LL and I hope the recompense is stout for both of those diseases!!!!! AND, where the heck is Ms. Patient?

I think it's 2 things behind the return of the ex. 1) ML is making the business work AND be profitable, 2) Instigation by pimp and stalker in an attempt to destroy FL and ML's happily ever after. I have confidence that FL will see this interference as a plot by pimp after she spends an episode thinking it through.

I agree, ML needs to emphatically set boundaries with stalker girl, before she gets consumed and burned by her obsession. It's probably too late for her because she's a petulant child and wants her toy at any price. She keeps talking about their life in the states...as if she wasn't f'cking one guy and thinking of f'cking the man in the adjacent room. Ugh!

I wish that Yu and MM would become friends and enjoy a healthy journey together after they both break up with those man babies. Yu wants revenge, but I know she will end up with all the pain.

Yep, that's what I thought. That pimp changed her target. I agree, they're both a piece of work and stalker will be pimped out!

Sadly, it seems she's doing all the emotional labor. I'm not quite finished with episode 16. I'm replaying the bathroom/shave foreplay. Tasty!!!!!

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.
