No I don’t think anyone is enjoying that part of the story but it is pretty realistic. I think all parties should…
Well said. That's exactly how I feel about JR and ZZ too. There should be a lot of compromises if one seriously wants a relationship to work. To ensure a successful marriage, there are even more sacrifices. As it is, it seems the sacrifice is just one sided. JR sacrifices his work he loves so much in Italy and returns to China (of course he does it also for his mom as he knows she would have been happier living in China). Whereas for ZZ's part, she insists she cannot move an inch; she loves her job too much that she's willing to sacrifice her boyfriend.
As far as SPC is concerned, now that you mentioned he's has been trying to sabotage JR's and ZZ's relationship from the beginning, yes, well put. He does it just out of selfishness - he's in love with ZZ and wants to get her, disregard of how she feels about JR.
Although I cannot condone with what JR has done in forcing ZZ to quit, I can see it through his perspectives; he feels he is going to lose ZZ if he lets ZZ remain with SPC because SPC, like it or not, has the financial means and charm to conquer any girls.
My heart aches for JR. On the brighter side, I would ask him to let go of ZZ, knowing it would be hard for him to fall in love with another girl again. But the world is big. Never say never. Furthermore, who is to say one has to get married to be happy (though his mother says so and he would have wanted to please his mom)?
Jin Ran, you idiot! How could you submit the resignation letter because you want her to resign? She's not even your wife! Even if she is your wife, you still have no right to! You dumbo!
omg... ZZ FOUND OUT SPC IS THE CHAIRMAN'S SON... SHE LOOKED ANGRY... guess she felt betrayed
I would have. I would take it that all this time, it has always been an act from SPC's part. I would also be mad at JR for being an accomplice. I would think, why has he hidden this from me? Is it because he fears that I would go for SPC because SPC is wealthier than JR? Then, what am I in his heart? A gold digger?
By only reading the comments here, it almost looks like JR is the bad, domineering guy who wants to change ZZ…
Absolutely agree with you.
Since ZZ has accepted JR as her boyfriend, logically, she should have kept some distance from SPC to avoid any misunderstanding. Although, most of the time, it is SPC who comes on to her, she should have drawn the line with him. I don't like it when she pretends she doesn't know SPC's intention and goes along with him.
I feel sorry for JR for being put in a difficult position. On one hand, he feels the responsibility as a son for his mother; he comes from a conventional family and he' s a filial pious son. On the other hand, this is the first time he meets a woman that he truly loves. Losing her may mean he may never marry again; he's not the type to simply find any woman and get married.
JR has tried to accommodate ZZ in every sense. But ZZ is the one who wouldn't compromise; she doesn't understand what it takes to have a happy family - sacrifices, like the way JR sacrifices for her by leaving Italy and coming back to China to start over.
Though I don't like JR's mother that much and wouldn't want a mother-in-law like that, what she says is not totally untrue - to have a successful marriage, both husband and wife must spend quality time together. Just that, her suggestions for ZZ to become a perfect housewife like, learning to cook gourmet food, flower arrangement, etc are a bit, .... urg! I wouldn't want to do that.
ZZ loves her work as a realtor, but she needs not do it at the expense of her family, especially her own boyfriend. She just needs to be more empathized to his needs and works things out with him if she seriously loves him.
His interview in the magazine quoting his ideal wife as someone who simply just stays by his side and be loved by him, shouldn't be taken as something unreasonable. In the right mind, who doesn't want to be loved and pampered by her man and not worried about finance and work?
Yeah, I agree with you. The scripts can be better.
Well, I don't think JR is blindly following his mother's wishes. He is always upset (you can see his expressions,…
Yes, I know you're right about JR. Actually, my point is quite general. Time and time again, in Chinese dramas, filial piety is like the birth right of any parents whether they deserve it or not. There are times, I feel, just like to strangle those annoying parents like the shop keeper's (Miss Zeng's) parents.
Overbearing mother-in-law? No thanks. Really, idk what to do if Aunt Bai would be my mother-in-law irl. I might…
You may be surprised how many potential mother-in-laws are thinking this way, especially in China. They normally have only 1 child. Divorce rate is high. They are so fearful that their child's divorce may ruin the family financially, especially from the perspective of the wealthier side.
Zhu Yi Long must be perfect for these momma's boy roles. First in the Story of Minglan and now in this one. From…
The man-bun was supposed to make him look artistic XD (it's stereotyping).
You're right about Zhu Yi Long's roles in many dramas as a mama boy. Apart from this one and MingLan, the other one is Royal Sister Returns. Even when he played in MiYue, he was also a mama boy.
It's crazy to cast him as a man who loses his girl all the time (I think he's going to lose this one by the look of how this drama is developing). Must be p***ing off many fans.
also agree.1. the acting is very cringe worthy. i'm confused by the male lead's expressions - like they randomly…
Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly what I'm thinking, "I'm confused by the male lead's expressions - like they randomly pan to him and he makes this devilish face as if he's the villain. the female lead exaggerates all her expressions, there's no subtlety in her acting." I don't know if it is supposed to be funny or sad, then I see the FL crying, so I assume it is sad. Boy! I'm so confused.
