Maybe the synopsis is meant to be vague so we watch the drama and the story unfolds otherwise if everything is mentioned then there is no element of surprise. That’s my opinion though.

Throughout the drama it’s explained that ML and FL do not have any blood relation but Grandma brought ML to the Mai family so he can have somewhat of a family which have been lacking when he was growing up.
@whoissilmoy老太太 lǎo tài tai is a polite way of addressing an elderly lady or someone’s mother.
@whoissilmoy YZM did not talk to the man’s wife. He found the man’s place of employment and his wife’s phone number and told him that if he doesn’t withdraw the charges he will sue him for harrassing an elderly lady. In situations like this the other person’s wife plays a more effective role than anyone because if his wife comes to know then he will land in hot soup.
She doesn't see any need to change her attitude because she thinks she's correct. She will justify all her actions…
I feel for you. I know how it feels. Asian parents (the traditional ones) tend to bring up their children that it’s their duty and responsibility to take care of their parents when they are. That’s how my mother raised me and my sisters. When we were young we don’t think so much. We just accept it. That’s what’s happening here as well. If you’ve been conditioned that you are responsible for your parents when they are old, you just accept it and do your best. Agree that you don’t have kids just so there’s someone to take care of you when you are old.
Why tf is the mom so adamant in staying at the house-- how can she be so tenacious and 뻔뻔해 (sorry that's…
She doesn't see any need to change her attitude because she thinks she's correct. She will justify all her actions with her twisted logic .She's got a taste of luxury so she's not giving up on that. The only way to make her move out is to offer her a nice place to stay. When she saw the options of apartments then she said that her bringing up of her daughter is not in vain. She expects her children to take care of her because she gave birth to them. Very old fashioned mindset.
I love the relationship between the brother and sister. As of now, I almost skip all the mother's scene. I know…
Not too sure about that. I think the brother will fall for FL's BF and do you think the mother will approve? Imagine after finish with the daughter, starts on the son. Never ending.
@KinaraFor her all she cares is her "face"(pride). She loves to show off to her relatives that her daughter is…
Yea you are absolutely correct. I’m a people pleaser too.It took me over 10 years maybe more to learn to say No. They make you feel guilty if you don’t give in.
If you remember from the episode when the flood happened in their house, cheng huan was telling cheng zao that…
@Sher1264 The mother is a conniving woman, she preys on FL’s weak spots which is loyalty to her family. When she spends money she justifies her actions. It’s easier for outsiders to see what she’s doing is wrong but so difficult for FL to come out of it. I’ve been there so I know.

@Kinara She’s living up to the meaning of her name which means pleasing people especially her parents or in this case mainly her mother. Her mother probably drum that into her since birth.
Just watching 15 - does this mom have no self respect or shame. This shamelessness of hers is very degrading to…
@Kinara For her all she cares is her "face"(pride). She loves to show off to her relatives that her daughter is marrying well. She doesn't think what she does is wrong because she justifies her actions by convincing herself that it is all in her daughter's best interest but it's really for her selfish ambition. He Sai Fei nailed this role. She did an awesome job even if it's annoying everyone.
