Wether or not he pulled the trigger or financed others who did it, ML shouldn't blame FL. Her father barely cared about her. I question if he ever did. The ML knows this. During the 10 year separation, not even her memory existed to her father.

No, I read that novel. It's nowhere near as good.

I don't know about the actress Gu Yue, but our FL isn't so much of a rich girl. Her father is rich, but all the money is controlled by the stepmother. She lives off of them, and I'm pretty sure the stepmother does't give her much money if any. The stepmother also stole her mother's dowry, and the father doesn't care about Wan Qing. Our 'rich' heroine is actually penniless. The clothes she has would be whatever she brought with her from Japan, and she admitted that her life in Japan wasn't very good. Her sister has way more clothes.

Also, back in 1900s there weren't fast fashion stores. Clothes were expensive to buy and make. What you had, you had to take care of it.

Too bad. I would have loved to read this as a book. The drama and characters are so so lovely!

Does this drama have a novel?

The husband who cheats openly is worse than the husband who hides his cheating. The one who is open has entitlement and no respect for his wife’s mental health and public image. The one who hides at least acknowledges he’s doing something wrong and attempted to worry about his wife’s feelings for a while. In both cases heating is bad and both men are scum.

Thankfully both the ML and SML haven’t cheated. I fee like TXL would be afraid to cheat on his wife anyway.

So happy for her. Congratulations.

They're both at fault, but he's the one carrying the pot of blame.

Korean entertainment industry should Leave the man's private life alone. He didn't do anything illegal. The abortion wasn't even illegal. The woman also agreed to do it. She must not be very smart if she's blaming only him. She's only smart enough to publicly blame him at the peak of his career. Some men are toxic (he ain't no angel, clearly) but some women are too. Men need to be smarter about choosing women. Not only this man, but most men. Sad for him.

I couldn't get into the storyline, despite liking the ML actor a lot. I tried it just for him, but i just couldn't keep wasting my time. It was too boring fir me and I also found the creep mentioned above as too unnecessary.

I blamed the stylist, not her.

Episode 3 makes it seem like people don't respect other's marriages in Japan. Thats not this case. The show is dramatizing. And... I really dislike the other guy.

@soultoseoul I'm of a western background and have been living In Asia for some time. I completely get what you are saying. It's the exact truth that companies in Asia ask women questions in interviews like "do you have a boyfriend?" "Are you married?" "do you have children or are planning to have children?" "do you plan to take maternity leave when you have children." "When will you get married?" Etc. These kinds of questions won't fly in the west and companies could get into trouble asking it, so I see why @jonjees doesn't really believe you, or can't understand what perspective you're coming from. In some companies, some even sign contracts that they cannot get married or have a baby within a certain number of years (usually 2). If you want to keep your job, you have to renew that contract. If you want a family, you have to leave that job and then start over if you want a new job. It sounds crazy to a westerner, but it's reality in Asia. This is why women in Asia usually have part time jobs, or are teachers of some kind. If they want to have more like the woman in this series, they run into the problems she is running into.

It's not even a "to each his own" kind of thing either. It's simply different cultural dilemmas facing women in the workplace and in their families.

In Asia, women when they get married are expected to leave the job to raise the baby. The company hiring you don't want to waste time or money training you of you will up and leave. This is also heavily endorsed by boards and governments. An example is the medical school scandal in Japan in 2018-2019. When women wrote the medical exams to enter the school to become doctors, they were scored more strictly than their male counterparts so that they would largely fail, therefore not become doctors. The reason for this is because the medical board of that particular national institution thought it was a waste of time and money for women to become doctors since they will just get married and end up as housewives anyway. No one bothered to ask these women if they would really leave their jobs when they get married or pregnant. It's just assumed that women consistently do that because that is what a large part of the Asian women population has done in the past so now it's just expected.

This drama is to expose a small part of that, and to suggest a change more in line with what the modern woman wants, and how the family should adapt. Yes it's a drama, but remember, especially in Asia, art imitates life and life imitates art. Just look at all the Japanese manga, for example. It may seem like it's just fiction, but if you live in Japan, you'd soon realise that the life, scenery, behaviours, and culture is exactly the same. Just, of course, less axaggerated.

It should be a drama! But much shorter and cut out all the fillers please.

No thanks. It doesn't work in my country. A lot of Thai drama sites don't work in my country. Anyway, I lost interest in this show lol. I just like Mik.

How did you finish it so fast lol. Yes I knew he made it clear, but he took his sweet time getting there, and even after that, the 2nd FL was too prominent. I loved how Yang Zi's character went about her life regardless of what was happening in her love life.

I wouldn't call it infidelity. But he's not a one woman guy in this show until the very end.

I'm sorry... what? In no way did I reference Nights, and I knew they were a different group. Also, in no way was I insensitive. Maybe you are too sensitive, calling me a hater for no particular reason. Are you sure you're replying to the correct person?

What I like most about this show so far (on ep 3) is the relationship between the characters that you don't normally see in Thai dramas. The most heartwarming is Chaba's father's two wives. The wives are good to each other and very supportive and love each other's children as their own. The children consider themselves to have two mothers whom they treat the same. I love the relationship between the children too. They don't discriminate between who is from the first wife or the 2nd. All love each other equally. If it wasn't for 1 line in the first episode, you'd never be able to tell who's the child of which mother. Its so cute that the family has such a lovely dynamic.

Even with Chaba and Thong Ek. Sure, they started on the wring foot, but they're friends who also look for each other. It's not all antagonistic like you see in the majority of Thai dramas. They know how to work together.

Lovely lovely lovely drama!!!!
