That was always the most disappointing part about the dad - how he could see what was happening at home but would never do anything about it because he'd stand by his wife and all her "upbringing and proper background" talk. As for the mom, how many times did her children say to her (even literally sometimes), "Look at me? Look at ME? Do you think I look happy?" And still she never got it. This is why in a lot of ways I can appreciate the change the drama made by having XQ's father visit SY's family -- he needed to see how a normal, happy family operates. Kind of hope the mom can have that opportunity as well one day because if anyone needs to have it explained to her in bright, neon, flashing lights it's her. She seems to be rather obtuse otherwise, lol. But at least in the end, there were some smiles around the Meng family dinner table. Never would have imagined that would be possible!
You could say that. She eventually comes around after SY saves her life and later we see XQ having a meal with…
XQ does cut things off after she learns the truth of what her mom did to SY in the past. But then the false sexual assault accusation against MYC happens, resulting in the mom turning herself in. Even then XQ is not inclined towards forgiving her mom and rebuffs her father's attempts at rebuilding a relationship. But then the father continues to make efforts and the mom eventually comes around after SY saves her life, so then you get that family meal scene and it can be assumed the family is working towards repairing their relationship.
Notably, this is different than in the book. Mom never turns herself in and XQ keeps things cut off from her parents to the end, always rebuffing any attempts from her father at reconciliation.
They will according to the original schedule (the unsubbed eps were released as part of an express package option,…
It’s a way for streaming platforms to make more money in China. They count on people being impatient and willing to pay extra money on top of what they are already paying to see the episodes in advance.
In general there are usually two options. You can watch for free on a slow schedule, or pay a membership fee to watch on a faster schedule. And then often in the last week they will offer a third, express option where (as mentioned) you pay on top of what you’ve already to paid to watch even more ahead.
Sometimes the express option is made available to international viewers and then there will be subs. But that was not done here in this drama’s case (appears to have only been made available in China).
It’s worth noting that the legal streaming sites for international users, such as Viki (and apart from the streaming platforms themselves, obviously) always stick to the original schedule. So what people often find online is what has been ripped and uploaded to non-legal sites…
A question for those who have watched all the episodes... Do they really forgive the FL's mother?
You could say that. She eventually comes around after SY saves her life and later we see XQ having a meal with her fam where mom asks after her wedding plans. You can read my recaps if you keep scrolling down this page.
anyone got the link for the whole episode of hello saturday FOMH episode ? the one with sub if possible, if not,…
Think Hunan/MangoTV usually uploads their Hello Saturday eps 2-3 days after it airs on their YouTube channel, so if you check tomorrow (7/24) it might be posted.
Did I not tell you to prepare your heart for a redemption arc involving the Wicked Witch?? LOL. I just knew as a Cdrama it woudln't be able to help itself. :-P
But interestingly, I find I don't mind how it played out here. (I mind it way less than what we saw in "Road Home," which you and I've discussed before as well.) I haven't been able to quite put my finger on why that is - maybe because the mom is more subtle about it here whereas the dad in RH was so in-your-face with his effusiveness? I'm not sure... still thinking on it and to be frank, not sure how I feel about myself that I'm okay with this! Haha.
It definitely helps (for the redemption arc) that in the drama, the mom didn't actually frame SY as a traitor resulting in his near-death. That would be really difficult to stomach. Obviously, messing with one's future and opportunities is not ideal either and I don't mean to minimize what mom did in that regard - it's still a big thing - but still. There is a difference.
Also, the drama changes the part where XQ's dad had a thing with SY's mom in the past. In the book that turns out to be the main driving factor why she is so against SY and there is no recovering from that (mom's never going to get over that). In the drama, since they removed that element, that makes it possible for the mom to come around to SY and accept that he's not this terrible person that she's always believed him to be.
Some scenes were definitely lifted from the book, but there were a lot of changes especially towards the end -- but on the whole, I think the drama stuck to the spirit of the book so I don't mind the changes and can even appreciate them. I now love both the book and the drama!
Definitely. He is an ENABLER. But he admits as much when he tells his wife that it's not that he's been in the dark about all the things that she's done, but rather he deliberately turned a blind eye to it - because it was easier and because it benefited him. He is not blameless, and he knows it. And in some ways it's worse because the mom lives in her own delusional world and I'm not sure she can even differentiate between right and wrong sometimes, but the dad definitely can - he has more of a heart, but instead of using it to do the right thing, he let his self-interests close off his heart and let his wife go unchecked. But now he regrets it.
Best Change from Novel to drama is Momma Meng almost Kneeling infront of Miao Maio 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's not a change from the novel. She also almost kneeled in the book and ZM called it off at the last minute. ZM then said the same thing to her in the drama as she did in the book (about how she was basically calling off the kneel out of consideration of XQ).
On the other hand, what ZM said to her after that (about parents needing to bear the responsibility for their own wrongs versus their children) and what XQ's adopted mother does after that, *that* is a change from the book.
Unfortunately this was an exemption. I was also disppointed to be honest.
I thought it was a way to show how life goes on... and we can see how their life will continue to be even after the drama ends. I appreciate how they gave us the certainty of marriage and allowed us to see them in their wedding clothes!
They will according to the original schedule (the unsubbed eps were released as part of an express package option, i.e., pay more, in China). If you want spoilers, scroll down to where I shared recaps of the remaining 8 eps.
Last ep! Picks up with the typhoon rescue efforts. I’m fast forwarding through a lot of these scenes as well but there was one guy with a truck full of bikes who’d stopped to talk to Yezi and help her. He said he was working extra to help send his daughter to college and then of course the minute they part ways, the entire pile of bikes fall on the man. Yezi ends up flagging down SY and his firetruck for assistance. Of course XQ meets him in an ambulance and along the way to the hospital they help others and take them to the hospital too. After a lot of fast forwarding, have arrived to the scene where XQ’s adopted mother has been in a car accident and is stuck in her car in a tunnel. There are other cars stuck there as well and one is in flames. In short, it’s not a good situation. SY’s team is closest and they run over to assist. The tunnel is collapsing around them and Jiang Yi runs over to tell SY that they got everyone out and should retreat now, but just then, they hear the sound of a honking horn – it’s XQ’s mother. Of course SY saves her and carries her out on his back. (Will the narcissist finally grow a heart?)
Adopted mom sits in a bus with the other people they’ve saved. The other people are praising the firemen for saving them and one turns to XQ’s mother and asks if she knows the person who carried her out. Adopted mom looks out the window to SY and finally answers, “He’s my daughter’s boyfriend.”
Clean-up montage follows of the typhoon and at the hospital, XQ is happy/relieved when she gets to text SY that the patient they worked together to send to the hospital finally woke up.
Li Meng is eating breakfast and looking out her window when she notices that the tiny plant that Jiang Yu had gifted her has actually sprouted pretty blue flowers. She texts him to tell him the “blind box” bloomed and Jiang Yu texts back, “Blind box?” She sends a picture of the flower and in reply, she gets an article about “lan xing hua” (a flower that appears to be in the morning glory family). She reads that it symbolizes having mutual trust of the heart and holding onto the present. Li Meng ends up visiting Jiang Yu at his house and she’s all glammed up, not wearing her uniform. Looks like they have a mutual interest in a book as she’s surprised to find he has a copy when it’s out of print. Jiang Yu tells her that he searched a long time before finding it at a used bookstore. She asks which one and when he answers, she laughs saying that she used to go there all the time and never ran into him, and Jiang Yu then says, “Aren’t you meeting me now? It’s not too early or too late; it’s perfect (timing).” (Awwwww!)
Continued typhoon clean-up continues – this one involving a tree. A man asks SY if instead of cutting down a tree that’s poking into a balcony and presenting a potential future safety hazard, the fire crew will help him remove the tree. SY notes that the tree is really huge and the man says he’s got a truck and everything to move it. As the fire crew works to remove the tree, he explains how his mom had planted the tree when his business was suffering. Every so often she’d send him messages saying that the tree was doing well and growing, just like his business would too. The man says business finally did get better, but by then his mother had already passed away. He hopes to keep the tree as a memory of his mother. As the mom walks away, Yang Chi says that you have to have pity on a parents’ heart/efforts.
XQ is having a meal with her parents and brother. Dad says he heard from MYC that she would be transferring from ER to the outpatient clinic. Mom comments that the outpatient clinic is just as tiring work, but dad says it’s still better than the ER. Mom agrees and tells XQ to drink up (her soup). She then asks whether her wedding has been settled. She says yes, but not the date, and that she and SY have agreed to have a small wedding. The mother protests that a wedding is a big event and asks how it can it be a small event. MYC reminds the mom that this is XQ and SY’s business so the mom says fine, fine, fine, this is “their” Meng family’s business so they can have the last word. MYC says he didn’t mean it in that way and dad pipes up that if it were up to him, it should be whatever SY and XQ want to do, so if XQ wants to have a small wedding that’s fine. He does ask though whether she’ll still have the usual traditions, including him walking her down the aisle, and she says yes, so dad’s like, “See? Isn’t it complete then?” Mom can only smile and continue eating. She notices XQ smiling and watching her, so she tells her her soup is getting cold.
XQ visits Dr. Yang to pick something up and Dr. Yang asks if XQ hadn’t said she’d be by later. XQ says she happened to be passing by so she stopped in. Dr. Yang offers to get things ready and send it over later that evening and that’s when XQ notices a pair of men’s shoes by the door. Which is then followed by XYX’s voice from inside the house announcing that the dumplings are ready. Surprise! LOL. XYX asks what she’s doing there and offers her some of the dumplings, so XQ just puts down the melon she’d been holding and told them to eat that.
Looks like the fire crew is training a new batch. Yang Chi and Jiang Yi are joking around with each other and the latter mentions that he’s already registered his marriage. (It’s pink hearts everywhere, I guess!)
SY and XQ are packing up his room when she gets a message from XYX inviting her to dinner with him and her brother. He says SY is invited too and XQ asks if he wants to go, and it’s okay if he doesn’t want to, but SY asks why wouldn’t he want to go. XQ asks if she can drink then since he’ll be around.
Dinner that night. SY holds out his hand in greeting and he and MYC finally shake hands. XYX tells XQ they should also shake hands and she slaps his hand aside. SY comments that this place they’re meeting at is nice and MYC says the wine and food are both good there, and the owner is nice too. XYX explains that this is their meeting point. The owner walks out saying she heard people complimenting them and then comments that they have a “new friend” among them today. XYX introduces SY as XQ’s husband and the owner comments that they do have a married couple feel about them. To celebrate, she offers to personally cook a few dishes for them. XYX jokes that if he knew this was the service he’d get by bringing around a new bride, he’d bring a new bride to that place all the time.
XQ wakes up alone in bed in their new home. After looking around, she gets up and walks out to find SY sitting on the rooftop. She joins him and says, “SY, you had a hard time these past 10 years, didn’t you?” He responds, “It was worth it.” She asks, “Really?” And he says, “Really,” because although the physical training was hard, it’s the same for all firefighters. XQ asks what about when he was in the military and he says it was about the same. He also says that when he enlisted, they’d made an oath to work hard through struggles, so they just endured it and suffering a little bit wasn’t any sort of big thing. XQ asks to hear the military oath and he has to think about it for a minute before reciting it. He ends by adding that he will never betray/foresake her.
The End!
I’ll probably have more thoughts tomorrow but um, bed for now. LOL.
Episode begins with the dinner where XQ’s father explains that he came today to discuss the children’s matter. Uncle explains that SY doesn’t have any parents so he and his wife have treated him as their own child, so they should’ve come to him first, but the dad says they don’t have to worry about formalities. All parents just want to see their children happy. Aunt reassures that XQ will never suffer in their family and ZM chimes in with agreement. Dad says he heard their neighborhood is going to be demolished and asks about their plans. ZM say she doesn’t have to worry because her brother long ago prepare – and that’s when SY kicks her to shut her up (and omg the look he shoots her, lol). The aunt jumps in to say he doesn’t have to worry because no matter where they move, they’ll be sure to help SY and XQ settle somewhere.
After dinner, XQ offers to walk her father to the entrance of the neighborhood but he instead suggests that SY accompany him. Along the way, dad tells SY that he can tell his daughter is determined to marry SY and SY says he’s equally determined to marry her. The dad says that before he came, he was worried that SY wouldn’t be able to give her happiness, but now that he’s met him and his family he sees how they leave others envious. It wasn’t what he expected, but he tells SY that he genuinely hopes that the family they create for themselves will be able to be equally happy. SY reassures her father that he’ll never let her down. The dad starts to apologize for his family’s involvement in him not being able to get into the military academy, but SY cuts him off and says he’s never regretted the choices he’s made in the past and plus, he’s doing fine now so he doesn’t live with any regret or resentment. He also reassures that he has a long future ahead of him. Dad pats him on the shoulder before walking off. (I guess we’re making up with dad, at least.)
Cute scene between SY and XQ after he returns home. He starts to bring up the fact that they may need to rent a house and she cuts him off. She would rather know about what secret he and ZM are keeping from her, but he insists that he really doesn’t have any secrets. The next day, he takes her to visit a place. He says the owner says that if she likes it, he’ll ask his wife. XQ opens the card that contains the key and after reading it, exclaims that the owner seems to be romantic, and he says it’s no use complimenting him when it's all up to the wife as to whether they can move in. After looking all over the house, XQ says she loves the house and tells him to hurry up and call the wife. So, SY pulls out his phone and…. Of course, calls XQ. She thinks he called the wrong number but he says, no, it’s you, my homeowner’s wife. Aww, cute! [Totally a different from the way he introduced the house to her in the book, but I like this version as well.] And he proposes!!!
Nurses exclaim over XQ’s ring in their changing room. And at the fire station, food is spewed as the underlings are amazed to learn their captain is getting married. They’re amazed he managed to pull it off and this earns them a slap to the back of the head when SY walks in, lol.
XQ comes to find SY at the fire station where everyone greets her in a ceremony – firefighter style and then SY introduces her to them as their sister-in-law. Lots of cuteness to look forward to, so I won’t spoil further.
Love how ZM’s planning this wedding for them. She even tries on wedding dresses for XQ since the actual bride and groom are too busy with their work.
XQ meets with her brother. Sounds like he’s finally sleeping and getting some rest. He notices her engagement ring and says it looks nice. He also gifts her an early wedding present. He then tells her that he’s decided to enter his father’s company (parents are getting old). After they part ways, XQ sends him a text message saying she feels fortunate to be able to his family member for a lifetime, and that this good fortune was something she felt from the first moment they met as children. He turns and she waves back at him, while MYC smiles. (Guess we can finally let go of that block in his heart…. Not loving his new hairstyle, though.)
Back at home, XQ looks at the pictures of the wedding dresses ZM tried on. ZM then asks her how many guests XQ plans on having for her side of the wedding. This leads to awkwardness as XQ says not many, but ZM tells her not to worry as there will be a lot on their side so they can help make up the difference. SY then arrives home just in time to find XQ trying on a tiara – it was the gift from her brother. XQ then tells SY it’s a good thing he arrived when he did because she didn’t know how to answer all the wedding planning questions that ZM had been asking her. Ultimately, SY observes that a traditional wedding in a hotel is not XQ’s style because she doesn’t like being in front of so many people. She suggests they just forego everything, but SY says they should still have some ceremony to the process. He suggests they get married at the fire station with Xiao Meng as their flower girl. She likes the idea but suggests he swap Xiao Meng out for a person since Xiao Meng is a dog.
MYC takes over the family company and greets the board of directors.
ZM frets as SY and XQ are running late to their own engagement photo shoot. She pleads with the photographer to give them more time as it’s hard for her brother and sister-in-law to find time to meet up together, so the photographer agrees and finally XQ and SY show up in their wedding clothes. As they begin, XQ tells SY that she has a regret – he asks what she regrets – and she answers that she regrets she didn’t get to together with him earlier.
Typhoon time! I fast forwarded through most of this as I’ll rewatch with subs but it’s a lot of rescue scenes, including of XQ at the hospital, and then we see MYC even stopping to pick up random strangers when he sees them standing on the side of the road desperate for a ride to the hospital as the wife is not feeling well. On the way, he runs across Yezi who is standing outside in the storm helping to direct traffic. (Oh gosh, are they going to do a redemption arc and bring the two of them together?? MYC, I would not turn back to look for as long as you have – there’s a storm going on and your eyes should be on the road in front of you!)

She suggests they just forego everything, but SY says they should still have some ceremony to the process. He suggests they get married at the fire station with Xiao Meng as their flower girl. She likes the idea but suggests he swap Xiao Meng out for a person since Xiao Meng is a dog.
MYC takes over the family company and greets the board of directors.
ZM frets as SY and XQ are running late to their own engagement photo shoot. She pleads with the photographer to give them more time as it’s hard for her brother and sister-in-law to find time to meet up together, so the photographer agrees and finally XQ and SY show up in their wedding clothes. As they begin, XQ tells SY that she has a regret – he asks what she regrets – and she answers that she regrets she didn’t get to together with him earlier.
Typhoon time! I fast forwarded through most of this as I’ll rewatch with subs but it’s a lot of rescue scenes, including of XQ at the hospital, and then we see MYC even stopping to pick up random strangers when he sees them standing on the side of the road desperate for a ride to the hospital as the wife is not feeling well. On the way, he runs across Yezi who is standing outside in the storm helping to direct traffic. (Oh gosh, are they going to do a redemption arc and bring the two of them together?? MYC, I would not turn back to look for as long as you have – there’s a storm going on and your eyes should be on the road in front of you!)
