Some sisters-in-law are bats from hell. The sheer audacity... Didn't even let the mourning period be over. I hope your friend is doing better.

Unfortunately, I have. And it is not pretty.

You GET it! I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, I feel that perhaps many viewers are missing out on the fact that not everyone has privilege of growing up in love and affection. And maintain their hold on saintly optimism. It's just that KH is bold enough to speak her mind even at the point of self-destruction. Also, both KH and YS are influenced by the parents they grew up with. YS shows signs of parentification. It's hard to get out of this way of handling your parents' messes.

Kudos to your second friend's parents. Unfortunately, sometimes in Asian families, even the parents of the girl wash their hands off of their daughter after the marriage. If their daughter is in trouble, they conveniently turn a blind eye and sermonise that time heals. *facepalm*
I don't understand why most are having trouble understanding KH. I don't want to sound patronising, however, I think her character can be understood best by those who either have witnessed dysfunctional families from close quarters or have faced such complicated dynamics themselves.

In Asian cultures, you end up marrying into the family. Unless, they go off of the grid, pesky relatives are really hard to avoid. In this context, it's his mother. Ain't no way KH is going to be able to avoid her if she and YS were to get together.

LOL. 🤣

So, basically Zhen Yu went around screwing up everybody's childhood by taking their siblings hostage. 🙄

He does play these tortured lover roles with finesse.

I don't find Chang Mei ungrateful. This is a woman who has survived huge personal losses. You don't survive this long without taking unsavoury decisions. She saved Mu Jiu and kept him hidden. She is desperate and caught in awful circumstances. She also believes that Mu Jui will probably never survive by just himself. She's wrong though, what he lacks in strength and skills, he makes up with his craftiness. He did manage to get into Yi City by himself.

Kindly spoil.

Yeah, you get it. I guess most viewers expected pop colours. The posters should have clued them in. Tbh, the way they captured rural Americana, without it looking shoehorned in, is a feat.

That's was exactly my thought while watching that scene.

Have not watched that. Not a fan of MSM's acting.

No worries, you are welcome! 😊

Me too, also even as a tiny girl she didn't hesitate to fight back the demon by stabbing her hairpin into him in order to give Bai Shuo a chance to escape. She was ready to die for a loved one. Same as how Fu Ling is ready to die for CZ.

Exactly, many viewers are bewildered by its storytelling. As for me, I am enjoying the heck out of it.

Watch it for the FL, cinematography and unconventional storytelling if for nothing else.

Then, we might have hated him for his inefficiency and immaturity. 🤭 Also, I think his casting was deliberate. To create that visual dissonance of older, experienced employees reporting to a clueless and much younger kid.

Exactly. I think his casting was deliberate. To create that visual dissonance of older, experienced employees reporting to a clueless and much younger kid.

But he's also a chaebol, LOL. Who said he needs either merit or experience? Just let the minions do all the work. *sigh* Nepotism at its finest.
