What many people are not GETTING is that on a SUBTLE level, this entire show is ALL about THE SON & how this twisted tale of cheating, revenge, and so on AFFECTS the people/family around them. So, when this child begins to finally REACT (don't get me wrong. Internally he'd already been reacting just not outwardly before) THAT'S WHAT THE WRITERS WANTED. For us to begin to see the deterioration emotionally, physically, and psychologically of the innocent characters and side characters who were inadvertently caught up in the selfishness/downward spiral of the core characters. Okay. I'm done. LOL

another thing about the son's character in comparison to the BBC version in the spoiler tag.

I mean are we all seeing how many adults are manipulating him? His dad. His dad's wife. Rumors at school (lady who wants her husband to be a politician) Not to mention what he saw happen to his mom, which... was his MOM's manipulation FFS. His mom's drinking to cope. His dad hiring someone to "scare" his mom out of town. People winding up dead. People insinuating mom or dad may be murderers. & we expect his kid to just smile & carry on? Give me a break.

& FWIW if that KID was a hot, high schooler gone bad boy because of his environment & shitty situation, we'd see the same people trampling the child swooning over his character instead. #oppa

The hate on the kid is too much for me. I'm wondering how many of those saying stuff about the son actually have kids (?) and understand what this kind of toxic, horrible environment can do to an ADULT'S mental health never mind a CHILD's? I mean... are you watching what this child is being put through? I f*cking applaud him for not going off the rails much MUCH worse on his horrendous "adult" role models. I had that exact same thought throughout BOTH versions of this show. That child is the strongest character in both shows. And if THIS ending mirrors the UK ending... well, it's going to be sad and realistic. :/

THIS. I agree. That could have been written SO much better.

I don't know that I've ever watched a Hong Kong drama, but if I can find sub titles, I'll give anything a try for sure! Thanks so much for the recommendations ^_^

heyyyyy nice to see you over here. ;D

O_O I come here daily just to catch up on comments hehehe #LivinTheKDramaLife

dude. when she got this scissors out in ep1 I was like awwwwe hell. LOL O_o

no problem at all ^_^

I think this was the beginning of ep2. if I remember correctly he was kind of hinting that the ML was a womanizer and didn't deserve his "perfect" wife who treated him so well and basically paid for everything. He was halfway in love with the FL and venting on the ML that he treated her like trash and didn't appreciate her.

CLOY?

I don't know how to answer this without spoiling anything. The ending is good, but may not be everyone's cup of tea. It's bittersweet and sort of has a HEA even though there is some tragedy as well.

I really wish her hair wasn't so distracting to me in this show >_< lol

I saw someone mention below that the FL basically "killed" the ML's mother. I'd forgotten about that but I remember when watching the UK edition how I was surprised at the difference. In THIS show, the FL is super heartless knowing his mother is ill and says super painful stuff to his mother and walks away without blinking an eye. His mother dies shortly after, making it seem like her health deteriorated further as a result of that scene with the FL. In the UK edition, though they talk, the mother doesn't get worked up about any hateful conversations, however she does commit suicide by sleeping pills and the FL is suspected for a brief moment of "helping" her MIL get pills to do this. She didn't though. I see a lot of people saying how much MORE ruthless the FL in the UK edition is, but imho, THAT was the reason I felt the FL in this version is a bit more cold hearted. In the UK edition the FL is a bit unhinged and talks tougher, but the cold exterior of the FL in this show scared me more at the beginning. NOW not as much as the show has progressed.

forgot about another seemingly small (but to me was a big deal) difference in the beginning episodes that is different from the UK version. Spoiler below.

super attractive man!

yes and some of the (seemingly) smaller differences are already beginning to direct the show into a different path and it's super interesting.

upped my rating to a 10 just to be contrary. ;-)
