On MYC, does his mother emotionally abuse him? Yes, and in that part he definitely has my sympathy. Is he a bad person? No, I think underneath he's a decent person.
But for him to harbor romantic feelings for his adoptive sister for so long is in my view all kinds of disturbing. Just because a relationship between adopted brother-sister exists, doesn't mean it has to be supported, let alone celebrated.
Let's say that you can't help who you fall for. But my problem with him is actually his actions. Like mother like son, they both treated XuQin like a possession albeit to a different degree. He had his chance to support her, to let her go when she found SongYan but he didn't. He was his parent's unwitting accomplice; he assaulted SongYan, and he erased SongYan's message for XuQin. He would rather keep her by his side and be miserable together. That's not love, that's controlling behavior.
Thus I have no sympathy when it comes to him crying because XuQin decided to be with SongYan. When SongYan and XuQin reunited, again he had another chance to be supportive but he didn't, XuQin fights for her freedom all by herself, no thanks to him. MYC is an adult now, he needs to grow a pair, and lots of therapy. It's not XuQin's job to free him from their parents. And I surely hope one day soon he will be the brother XuQin needed him to be. SongYan gave him a wake up call, what he did next is up to him. There's plenty of room for character development here.
Side notes, there's no way his mom will treat him the way she treats XuQin. Just the fact that he's the son gives him a different standing than XuQin. Patriarchy society and all.
Her mom thought that she could enticed XuQin by showing her what she missed by going shopping. She really doesn't understand her daughter at all. XuQin was depressed the whole time because she understood her mom intentions. Her face only light up when she saw SongYan. I'm so proud of her declaration, no amount of goods in this world worth more to her than SongYan.
Also super proud of SongYan for being the bigger person, still respectful to XuQin's mom, even though she doesn't deserve it.
Bonus: her mom tried to humiliate SongYan, got humiliated instead in front of the blind date guy.
I don't understand why show that girl who is after brother in a good light. I mean in her first scene she literally…
she's manipulative, she let Zhai Miao took the fall alone on the counterfeit case, she knew the brother was drunk and tried to gave him more alcohol, she's showing the brother off to her friends and I think she purposely chose the shooting location near his office
i dont know if the translation is supposed to be "unworthy" but i think its supposed to be "loser" as FL family…
ah thank you, the one I watched translate it as unworthy, so he thinks after everything that happened to him for him to be going after Xu Qin makes him a loser? different word makes all the difference.
One part made me really sad today, when Song Yan told his aunt and uncle "Do you think I'm unworthy?" Part of his hesitation before was he probably thought he wasn't successful enough to sought out Xu Qin, but fate intervened and they met again by chance.
Arrggg the brother was so pathetic yeah he is trappped in his own family but he doesnt do anything about it...…
the step brother having romantic feeling for his step sister is just ew, but the way he's portrayed as a possesive creeper is even worse, he wants Xu Qin to never marry so she can keep him company forever is just as bad as his mom.
The room full of butterflies doesn't help with the creep factor.
from the moment Ye Zi saw him @ the bar the first time and spilled the drink, I can't stand her scenes. She looked…
OMG you are absolutely correct, if the wicked mom trying to hurt Song Yan for dating Xu Qin, imagine what she would do to Ye Zi for daring to go near the vicinity of her precious son, she will skin her alive
my prediction, I think Ye Zi is trouble, all her actions seems deliberately done to go after the brother, maybe later he will reject her advances and she will act like a woman scorned.
up to ep25 and I'm in love with this drama, whoever cast YangYang and Wang Churan as lead should get a medal. Once in a blue moon we got a magical pairing, and they're definitely one for me. I love our tortured soulmate, the camaraderie of the firefighter and the medical team, and the supportive family vs the opressing family.
One thing I would like to see less is probably the creepy brother and his hair-raising obsession with his sister. Just ew.
