Do you remember the conversation (ep4) between Flora and the restaurant owner friend - Tan Mian. He said he and Luke used to work together at a company that Luke started. Flora asked why didn't Luke stick with his company. He said they were betrayed by one of their own. This must be the seed to a backstory that Luke's emotional anger leans on in regards to ep 13.
He was money rich but love poor so it's okay for him to act like he owns her, control her clothes, and stop her…
😂 Control her clothes. A man wanting his girlfriend to dress more modestly is not control it's a preference. control is if she doesn't want to stop wearing that type of clothes and he forces her. telling someone something and controlling something someone does are NOT THE SAME. 😂 YALL REALLY WANT LUKE TO BE A RED FLAG
withholding that info from your bf isnt miscommunication but betrayal
Yes she betrayed their relationship and opened a door for trust issues. Which angered Luke. She definitely has divided loyalties. To me this is enough for LUKE to realize this relationship isn't for him. But we know that is not going to happen. He will just fight harder to keep her. NOW THAT (her betrayal) IS A RED FLAG.
As someone who had toxic parents themselves, I would forever never understand why they themselves would treat…
it's not something they intentionally do. their actions are a part of their makeup. trauma can mold someone to be what traumatized them or the opposite of what traumatized them.
1 bad parent can have 2 kids 1 kid can grow up to be just like the bad parent while the other is the opposite of the bad parent.
we have 1 word and 1 phrase floating around that we need clarity on.
Miscommunication happens when a message is sent, but the receiver misunderstands it.
A lack of communication happens when people stay silent and do not share important information at all.
These two have an equal lack of communication.
There really is no miscommunication. But Flora has a lot of misunderstandings. Notably because she has emotional paralysis. Once she sees something she THINKS is wrong with Luke, her low confidence triggers an emotional reaction that she cannot get passed. So she never communicated it.
which is odd because at work she does the opposite. She speaks up for herself, makes her points clear and makes sure she's heard.
they both need to get drunk together so they can have an actual conversation 😂 ----lol remember when Flora told Luke he had to marry her. LOL 🤣 they need some alcohol
Luke is the same in his business and personal relationships.
Flora is one way in business and another way in her personal relationships.
She understands the side of Luke that she admires. but she does NOT understand the side of Luke that she loves.
From day one Luke has had harsh words to say to Flora. At work she says Thank you for your harsh words I will put these in my lesson book on how to be a great professional.
in the relationship she says Oh, is this what you think of me, I have no value, you're so mean to me, you're a jerk.
____ She expects something different than what he has always given her and that has created a huge problem
I am going to rewatch some of these scenes on Youku because I think the translations are off. 😂, not that Youku would be much better. but some of these words and phrases seem like Luke actually said something else. LOL 🤣 or he is really a complete idiot. After seeing Alex lean in to Flora his words became a weapon. I don't think he realized what he said until after he said it.
He needed a muzzle. he was hurt and his words hurt her.

😂 why is she still thinking?
I see there is a semantics shift happening.
Lucy says one thing, Martha misconstrues what she said to fit her narrative intentionally or unintentionally.

Although his kindness looked out of place...
THAT IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Even Lumi was shocked.
Lets see if his tongue is able to be consistent with praise giving 😂
He needed a muzzle. he was hurt and his words hurt her.
