oh im glad that's the case then, i wonder what the context is. but her marriage seems so unhappy though im really sad. i guess their switching the plum for the peach strategy wont work that well, maybe until later

i wish this drama took a similar approach to flourished peony. would've loved to see more focus on the li family's woman-run business and how they rise up in a male-dominated field thanks to the talents and intelligence of the daughters. with all the spouses as secondary characters and the daughters as first and foremost

i just saw a future ep preview and the scholar guy is literally beating first sister with a whip. i hope it's only someones imagination or there's some backstory behind it because that was so out-of-pocket. first sister suffered the most and looks like she will suffer again with a wife-beater (again, i really hope its not true). at this point i only have hope left for fourth sister and the adopted sister, i think their romances will be the least problematic 😭😭😭

i think their brother is still alive bc they didnt find the body. from the drama's outro, looks like the brother was raised to be an accomplished person, and he will marry the adopted sister. only speculations though but i hope this is true because i really like the adopted sister

the netizens are right for this opinion. i just saw a future ep preview and the scholar guy is literally beating first sister with a whip (apparently it's on accident bc he's beating the maid? idk). i hope it's only someones imagination or there's some backstory behind it because that was so out-of-pocket. first sister suffered the most and looks like she will suffer again with a wife-beater (again, i really hope its not true)

besides this the kidnap "prank" just did not sit right with me, especially when they were touching the girls "to scare them", and the whole time the girls thought that they were the kidnappers, like thats actually messed up

i also do agree that the writing of the drama is a bit shallow. i was hoping we would get to see more focus on the girls and their individual passions and the whole family's journey towards being successful in their woman-run business. i was expecting something like flourished peony, which i LOVED. i loved how that drama showed a woman rising high in a male dominated field, with ML almost like a side piece supporting her along the way. I really expected something similar for PM, but in a more lighthearted comedy way with some more family-focus. it kind of sucks that this isn't the approach they went for.

another thing, while the leads have great visual chemistry, the actual chemistry isn't really well-developed thanks to the odd writing and the fast-paced nature of their relationship. with how fast the ML fell for FL, i thought they had some previous connection, it just didn't seem very natural and like a true haters-to-lovers cdrama romance, like they were seemingly marketing it. however this is not rlly the biggest deal, just something that bothered me a little

now that third sister is married off, i wonder how they will progress with the drama. just jump the story's focus from sister to sister until they are all married? im guessing next focus of the drama will be first sister with the scholar.

also feel like there is more too kang ning and chai's story. maybe they knew each other in the past

excited for first and fourth sisters' respective romances to begin

chongzhao and fuling didnt even get to hold each other for a final time 😭😭😭😭😭 but i guess in the end they were reunited when the bow's arrow killed moli

is there any other drama that does angsty marriage of convenience AFTER the leads go from strangers to developing feelings for each other , i loved how this trope played out

That was so good omggg, how can I wait for part 2!!!!

i tried to but i cant find a recent photo that fits the mdl guidelines 😭😭if u can find one that would be great; it has to be in color, fully visible front-facing face, and solid background

haven’t even had a kiss from chongzhao and fuling but they’re already talking about having kids 😭😭

the desperation and angst from just the body language of the hug is enough to send me to an ER

THE WAY CHANG HUASENS ARMS AND WHOLE BODY ENGULFS DAI LUWA DURING THE HUG SCENE AHHHDHFHYFDUHFBJDHBFDJDHB

yeah unfortunately.. like this drama could have been so wholesome but they r being so weird abt the romance between the leads

so boring in the middle of ep 3 i started thinking about how im gonna reorganize my fridge and found those thoughts more interesting than the actual episode

omg ep 14 is such a rollercoaster 😭😭😭😭😭

no way 😭😭😭 this month flew by, i cant believe we're only 9 eps away!?

THEY R SO CUTE LMFAOOO HAN DONG HELPNDKFJ

this is a story about WOMEN, i love how throughout the plot mudan meets and forms connections with other women who are just as strong and brave as her, and how they work together to thrive and flourish in ways that were unconventional for the time. mudan is so fearless, clever, and wise, using her knowledge and composure as an asset to show her worth to those underestimating her,

also, even if we saw the mute girl for only two episodes, i have a hole in my heart from her loss, she was so brave and kind, and her story broke my heart!!!
