I really adore Jinrong. She’s shameless about loving money, but she can also be a very doting big sister to…
I share your admiration for Jinrong. Initially appearing as a potential gold digger, as the story unfolds, we come to understand her motives and see her love for her family. Her escapades and encounters are hilarious.
For those who might be puzzled by Lu Buping's comical daikon cutting, Chun Peilan originally requested it to be diced into small cubes, which is the true essence of cutting into "ding". Lu Buping, however, took a more literal approach, sculpting it into the shape of the character "ding".
Even though Guo Zhensheng has always been in love with Du Ruyu, the drama didn’t force a romantic relationship…
I love your analysis so much. If you haven't already, I highly recommend sharing your thoughts in a review. Like you, I hold this fine drama in high regard. Despite its slapstick nature, I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional writing and acting on display.
Thanks for this excellent and detailed review. I was very curious about this drama but ended up passing bc it…
Indeed! It requires immense strength for women to take the actions as they do here. This development may seem somewhat improbable (wife allies with lover). The author intends to inspire viewers to focus on the positive aspects and turn the table, instead of feeling helpless and being victimized.
Some forget that the revenge plot consist of Meng wan gathering the 9 people to fight Ru lan’s case. If there…
Yes, I agree with you. I like this back-and-forth timeline approach. It keeps the present story engaging while seamlessly weaving in relevant pieces of the past for context and backstory. This style is not only clear but also adds an extra layer of interest compared to the standard format.
Let’s put this drama in its proper perspective. Meng Wan, along with the nine others she , have one thing in…
Meng Wan waited for seven years to become her husband's main wife after his first wife passed away. This gives her the status she needs to approach Madam Marquis, who plays a key role in her plan to take down Wu Lian.
Meng Wan and her friends have all been hurt by Wu Lian. They want him to face the consequences for what he's done. But their main aim is to stop him from harming more young girls. Even though he has been a sex offender and done many despicable things, Wu Lian has never been punished for them. Meng Wan is determined to bring him to justice so that he can't hurt anyone anymore.
As I delved deeper into the story's conclusion, it became evident that the ending aligns perfectly with the narrative's…
With this in mind, I'm revising my rewatch rating to a solid 10, elevating the overall score to 9.5. I believe my initial viewing may have overlooked numerous intricacies. Given my current perspective, delving back into the entire drama seems worthwhile to uncover these hidden details.

Wu Feng:
At first, I found the Wu Feng arc to be somewhat lacking. I was eager to catch a glimpse of the elusive leader, Dian Zhu, and the uncertainty of its continued malevolence left me wanting more closure for the story. Yet, upon reflection, I realized that this mirrors the complexity of reality, where good and evil often coexist. Even if Wu Feng were completely obliterated, other malevolent factions would inevitably rise in its wake; the cycle would persist. Unraveling the appearance of Dian Zhu wouldn't significantly impact the overarching narrative, aside from satisfying personal curiosity. Therefore, in my view, concluding the story with Wu Feng still lingering, albeit severely weakened, is a fitting ending. It leaves a door ajar for a potential sequel should the writer choose to explore it.
Yun Weishan's departure from the Gong Men stronghold seemed purposeful, indicating a mission was afoot, likely one of revenge for Zhuo Mei or Yun Que (or both). This suggests she was well-prepared, possibly equipped with gadgets from Gong Zishang and poisons from Gong Yuanzhi (do recall the new weapon Gong Zishang provided to Gong Yuanzhi). I am also inclined to believe that she received assistance from Shangguan Qian, given their history of seamless collaboration.
The expressions on Gong Ziyu's face as the gate cracks open have sparked a wave of interpretations. It's not grief or sorrow that he displays, but a profound sense of awe. From this, I gather that he beholds Yun Weishan's return, perhaps in a weary state with disheveled hair and a bloodied visage after a strenuous battle. Alternatively, he might be witnessing an unexpected group of visitors, possibly Yun Weishan relocating her entire family to Gong Men. So, for those concerned about Yun Weishan's fate, fear not. I am confident she is in good health and secure.
With that said, the true nature of Yun Weishan's original family remains a mystery. Could her twin sister be an enigmatic and potentially malevolent counterpart, the hidden half of the "Liang" duo? All of this lies within the realm of viewers' imagination, and the ultimate answer hinges on the creative choices of the writer director, Guo Jingming. He may choose to delve deeper into the narrative or conclude it just as it stands. To this end, I consider the ending of the drama brilliantly done.
As I delved deeper into the story's conclusion, it became evident that the ending aligns perfectly with the narrative's overarching theme of unexpected twists and turns. Nothing is as straightforward as the audience might have anticipated. The conclusion leaves ample room for interpretation. Viewers can draw their own conclusions, aided by cues from the actors, the sound of the opening gate, and other factors like the passage of time. Here is my interpretation:
