Gracias, pero sigo opinando que demasiadas mujeres que tienen que compartir a un marido y competir por ello tendría que ser un horror y las familias de esas mujeres esperando a sacar réditos de esa unión. Como bien dices, mentalidad moderna, difícil comprender y soportar tal proceso, jajaja y encima europea, pero nada, sigo opinando: triste vida la de ellas. Saludos.

Thanks for the reply—very kind of you—but I still think that having so many women share a husband and compete for him must be a nightmare, not to mention their families waiting to profit from the union. As you rightly say, it’s a modern mindset—hard to grasp or tolerate such a situation (haha), especially being European—but still, that’s my take: it’s a sad life for them. Best regards.

Estoy un tanto perpleja. Este hombre, Lin Yin Qi, ¿cuántas mujeres tiene en su harén? ¿Cuándo empieza este drama? Porque se ve una gran colección de mujeres; de verdad que en esos tiempos, vaya manera de complicarse la vida, tanta mujer, hijos, ¿para qué?, ¿para matarse entre sí? ¿Tendrían paz en su casa alguna vez? Bueno, veremos, pero me parece desde ya un lío de residencia familiar. Intrigas, maldades, etc. Esperemos a mañana a ver cómo se desarrolla esta historia y su comienzo.
***************************************************************************
I’m a bit bewildered. Just how many women does this man, Lin Yin Qi, have in his harem? When does the drama actually kick off? Because there’s quite a collection of women there; honestly, back then—what a way to complicate one’s life. So many women and children—but what for? Just to end up killing each other? Would there ever be any peace in the household? Well, we shall see, but it already looks like a chaotic domestic mess—full of intrigue, malice, and the like. Let’s wait until tomorrow to see how the story unfolds and gets started.

Hola a todas por aquí. Bien, hoy debo decir que el capítulo 21 ha sido para mí de mucha intensidad.
Incluso me he visto dando voces a la TV, jajaja. Anda que en casa me miraban con cara rara, jaja. Me han cabreado los dos por igual, pero Flora mucho más; ya le vi vestigios de ser un tanto infantil en Capítulos anteriores 15/16, pero es que hoy en el 21 rizó mucho el rizo. Resulta que nos ha estado vendiendo que es una chica independiente y que todo lo quiere ganar por sí sola y sin ayuda, con lo cual me parece bien,

2) El rebote que se ha llevado al saber que ella no era la ganadora ha sido duro, durísimo; se ha sentido traicionada por ese novio que tiene un día sí y otro no es mi novio. ¿En qué quedamos?

3) Niña, para lo que quieres, Luke es tu novio y tiene que darte lo que más deseas (ascender), pero si no te lo da, entonces la relación es tóxica, sucia, etc., y otras lindezas, y no te quiere, no te respeta. ¡Pero si es lo que ha hecho siempre según tus deseos! ¿No serás tú la que no lo quiere lo suficiente? Pues yo he visto en todo el drama que él siempre la ha ayudado y apoyado en todos los sentidos, cosa que, siendo un tipo tan mandón, zoque, autoritario, ya es de nota y sacrificó mucho su agrio carácter. Le metió en casa un “perro”, animal que no quería en casa; mucha gracia no le hacía. Luego la quería mucho, pero en un principio, pues no, la verdad.

4) Discusión de ruptura: Ella se pasó tres pueblos por infantil, inmadura y egoísta, y Luke, como le dolió tanto todo lo que le soltó, un zasca en toda regla, en su línea le devolvió con creces ese resentimiento y el dolor que sentía. Y le contesto a Flora francamente como se merecía; ella es en ese momento una mujer “adulta”. Y, chica, unas veces se gana y otras se pierde, pero tienes más
oportunidades para ascender y darle un zasca a esos empresarios que anteponen dinero antes que
inteligencia y capacidad. Fin de mi diatriba y cabreo personal con ese capítulo. Saludos.

Hi everyone. Well, I have to say that Chapter 21 was really intense for me.
I even found myself shouting at the TV, hahaha. You should have seen the weird looks I got from my family, haha. Both of them made me mad, but Flora especially; I’d already seen signs of her being a bit childish in earlier episodes (15/16), but today, in Episode 21, she really took it to the extreme. She’s been selling us this idea that she’s an independent woman who wants to earn everything on her own without help—which is fine by me...
2) The way she lashed out upon finding out she hadn't won was harsh—really harsh. She felt betrayed by a boyfriend who is "on-again, off-again." Make up your mind, girl!
3) Girl, when it suits you, Luke is your boyfriend and has to give you what you want most (a promotion); but if he doesn't, then the relationship is toxic, dirty, etc.—all those lovely insults—and he doesn't love or respect you. But he’s *always* done exactly what you wanted! Maybe *you’re* the one who doesn't love *him* enough? From what I’ve seen throughout this drama, he’s always helped and supported her in every way—which is saying something, considering what a bossy, stubborn, authoritarian guy he is; he really toned down his sour personality. He let her bring a "dog" into the house—an animal he didn't want there and wasn't exactly thrilled about. He grew to love it, sure, but at first? Not really.

4) The breakup argument: She went way too far—acting childish, immature, and selfish. And Luke—hurt deeply by the verbal lashing she gave him (a real slap in the face)—responded true to form, firing back with even more resentment and pain. He answered Flora frankly, exactly as she deserved; after all, she’s supposed to be an "adult" woman. And look, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but you’ll have more chances to move up and really stick it to those business owners who prioritize money over intelligence and ability. End of my rant and personal gripe about that episode. Cheers.

Bueno, voy a dedicar comentario en mayor medida al capítulo 21; del resto ya lo hemos visto, ha sido un sprint en toda regla, algo que con tener algún capítulo más se hubiese subsanado. Pasar de 32 a 24 capítulos se ha notado mucho, sobre todo al final. Sí, le dieron un bonito final, una bonita puesta de escena de petición de boda, nada más. Pero en el capítulo 21, “Hay amigas”; eso es otra cosa, y sí voy a ponerme en el lugar de LUKE. Ahora que se ha terminado el drama, leeré en mis vacaciones el libro en modo online; entonces voy a comparar al Luke del drama y al Luke de la novela. Dicho esto, postearé del 21 en otro post. Saludos.

Well, I’m going to devote most of my commentary to Episode 21; as for the rest—which we’ve already seen—it felt like a mad dash to the finish, something that could have been remedied with just a few more episodes. The drop from 32 episodes to 24 was very noticeable, especially at the end. Sure, they gave it a lovely ending—a beautiful proposal scene—but that was about it. Episode 21, however—"Hay amigas"—is a different story, and I’m going to put myself in Luke’s shoes. Now that the drama has wrapped up, I plan to read the book online during my vacation so I can compare the Luke from the show with the Luke from the novel. That said, I’ll write about Episode 21 in a separate post. Cheers.

Sí/yes

Sí, eso mismo decidí; lo leeré después. Lo mismo decidí con el boom de hoy, el drama de Youku y Netflix (The Early Spring),visto visto hoy completa, y ahora leeré esa novela vía online, ya que en España no tenemos esos libros para comprar. Saludos.
*******************************************************
Yes, that’s exactly what I decided: I’ll read it later. I made the same decision regarding the current hit—the Youku and Netflix drama *The Early Spring* (which I finished watching today); now I’m going to read the novel online, since those books aren't available for purchase in Spain. Best regards.

Good heavens, someone here is repeating themselves like a parrot over and over again; it's been a long time since we've seen a proper troll on this page.

I don't think even they expected so much!! Boom!! That's how they've done what they do best: blow up the business.

Un gran sí, jajajaja/A big yes, hahaha

Hola, buenos días. Desde España, aquí son ahora las 07:48 h de la mañana. Me desperté y, en vez de seguir durmiendo, me puse a ver el capítulo 20. Sinceramente, me he quedado fría. Con este capítulo no es por la muerte de su amigo; eso ya lo sabía, es por todo lo demás. Pensaba que la ruptura sería hoy y teníamos tres capítulos más para disfrutar: (21) vidas separadas, (22) rencuentro, (23) reconquista, (24) final como se merecen. Visto lo visto, va a ser un sprint en toda regla y una insatisfacción grande; seguro, si Netflix no pone mañana los capítulos restantes, tengo claro que no voy a esperar hasta el sábado por el final. Soy cliente de YOUKU, así que compraré el dichoso paquete Express. Como muchas veces hago, saludos, mis queridas damas.

Hello, good morning. From Spain, it's 7:48 AM here. I woke up and, instead of going back to sleep, I started watching episode 20. Honestly, I was completely left cold. It's not the death of her friend that upset me; I already knew that. It's everything else. I thought the breakup would happen today, and we had three more episodes to look forward to: (21) Separate lives, (22) Reunion, (23) Winning them back, (24) The finale they deserve. It looks like it's going to be a real sprint, and I'm very disappointed. If Netflix doesn't release the remaining episodes tomorrow, I'm definitely not going to wait until Saturday for the finale. I'm a YOUKU customer, so I'll buy that darn Express package. As I often do, greetings, my dear ladies.

Hola, Por mera curiosidad estoy leyendo algunos capítulos de la novela de este drama; he llegado hasta el capítulo 31, pero no puedo encontrar ninguna similitud con los avances que tenemos en WeTV, así que creo que optaré por no seguir leyendo, nombres y situaciones con respecto al reparto, excepto a los principales y alguno más. ¿Nada es parecido? ¿Siempre es así?
*****************************************************************
Out of sheer curiosity, I'm reading a few chapters of the novel for this drama; I've gotten to chapter 31, but I can't find any similarities with the trailers we have on WeTV, so I think I'll stop reading. There are no names or situations related to the cast, except for the main ones and a few others. Is nothing similar? Is it always like this?

Hola, como ya dije anteriormente, desde el capítulo 15/16 el tijeretazo de 8 capítulos se nota mucho; se salta de una historia a otra, imágenes inconexas entre unas y otras , y visto el avance del Capítulo 20, ni te cuento; han hecho lo que han podido debido a recortar tantos capítulos, pero la historia no fluye como debería. El final será en una carrera sprint.
********************************************************
Hi, as I mentioned before, the eight-episode cut is very noticeable from episode 15/16 onwards; it jumps from one story to another, with disconnected images between them, and after seeing the preview for episode 20, it's even worse; they've done what they could given the number of episodes cut, but the story doesn't flow as it should. The ending will be a sprint.

Yo pago Netflix. IQIYI, WeTV, Youku: las tres plataformas chinas por ver legalmente; los dramas Viki porque los coreanos se suben mucho aquí, ya que en España en Netflix no nos traen todos los que suben de Corea.

********************************************************************
I pay for Netflix. IQIYI, WeTV, and Youku: the three Chinese platforms for legal viewing; I use Viki for dramas because many Korean dramas are uploaded here, since Netflix in Spain doesn't bring us all the ones uploaded from Korea.

Hi, Netflix charges monthly; in my case, €35 a month. I pay annually on Youku, I think it's around €60. If Netflix starts charging us that extra fee now, I think it would be very bad for them. The price difference is huge; anyway, if Netflix doesn't offer it, I'll give in and pay the extra fee on Youku. I'm not going to wait until the end of the week to watch the finale; haha. With the last Chinese drama on Netflix, they did raise the price of the extras at the same time.

************************************************************
Hola, en Netflix se paga mensual; en mi caso, 35 € al mes. En Youku pago anualmente, creo recordar algo así como 60/64 €. Si ahora Netflix empieza a cobrarnos ese extra, creo que le iría muy mal. La diferencia de precio es muy grande; de todas formas, si en Netflix no lo tenemos, claudicaré y pagaré el extra en Youku. No pienso esperar hasta el final de la semana para ver el final; jaja. Con el último drama chino en Netflix sí que subieron a la vez los extras del drama.

A saber

Exacto.

¿Puede alguien decirme por qué hay gente que piensa que cuando un actor o actriz está en una relación, no pueden rodar escenas un poco subidas de tono o les extraña ? Es que lo leo mucho, ese comentario en esta página y la verdad me deja un tanto perpleja. El trabajo es uno y el tipo de relación (novia, etc.) que tenga cada uno fuera de su trabajo es otra; da igual el drama que sea, no me refiero a este solamente. ¿Por qué se le da tanta importancia a ello, pregunto? ahora reconozco que a este actor le ha caído la del pulpo de repente pobre, se ha visto desbordado por este drama le conozco como actor hace muchos años pero nunca he visto tanta locura con el como en este drama
****************************************************************************************
Can someone tell me why some people think that when an actor or actress is in a relationship, they can't film slightly risqué scenes, or why it seems strange to them? I keep reading that comment on this page, and it really leaves me perplexed. Work is one thing, and the type of relationship (girlfriend, etc.) someone has outside of work is another; it doesn't matter what kind of drama it is, and I'm not just referring to this one. Why is so much importance given to it, I ask? Now, I recognize that this actor has suddenly been hit with a lot of criticism, poor thing. He's been overwhelmed by this drama. I've known him as an actor for many years, but I've never seen him get so much attention as in this drama

Bueno, capítulo 18, por Dios, Flora es la persona más pusilánime que he visto en un drama. Me sacas de quicio. ¿Cómo puedes ser tan idiota, mujer? Luke, muerto de celos, el exnovio por un lado, el amigo compañero de piso por el otro; me da que ella, por lo infantil que es, me lo está demostrando con su comportamiento. Le encanta estar rodeada y verse admirada por otros; para subir su autoestima, cosa que, por otra parte, siempre la ha tenido baja. Luego todo eso Luke lo ve y los celos a este hombre dominante por naturaleza y borde le salen el humo por las orejas y la respuesta de él es que le presenta a su propia hermana como su exnovia. Leches, chico. Eres una mula, que solo sabe dar coces y esa es su autodefensa. Flora, desde que escuchó la conversación telefónica de Luke con sus padres y oírle decir “que aún no es tiempo de presentarla a ellos”, a esta chica le llegó al alma y le dolió. Así que sí, no lo tiene como novio ni piensa en él como tal; de lo contrario, no haría las cosas que hace y dice, pero sigo pensando que Flora no está Demostrando que le interesa de verdad Luke. Él es lo que piensa, y de repente se va a comer con su amiga y la otra le mete en la cabeza que tiene que casarse, que ya ha pasado mucho tiempo y, por el bien de ella como mujer, tiene que hacerlo. Bueno, en esa escena, casi arrojó lo que tengo en la mano a la pantalla. Joder, tía, ¿tú de qué vas? Diciéndole esas cosas a una persona tan insegura como Flora; acto seguido, ella va y se lo suelta a Luke sin mirarle de frente, ni siquiera, que quiere casarse y tener hijos. Normal que él le contestara como le contestó; de verdad que estos dos son un caso perdido para mí, y a estas alturas se hacen más daño que bien y todo porque no hablan y, sobre todo a ella, de verdad que le daría un par de bofetadas para que se espabile y al otro le pondría un bozal directamente. Saludos, chicas,
p.d. Aquí en España tenemos un canal de youtube que lo llevan dos auténticas profesionales, donde todas las que vemos este drama comentamos. Lo hacen con dramas asiáticos, mayormente coreanos, que es más fácil porque son dos a la semana, pero es que con este no se han podido resistir, jajaja.
*********************************************************************************************************
Okay, chapter 18, for God's sake, Flora is the most spineless person I've ever seen in a drama. You drive me crazy. How can you be such an idiot, woman? Luke, consumed by jealousy, the ex-boyfriend on one side, the roommate on the other; I think she, being so childish, is showing it to me with her behavior. She loves being surrounded by others and being admired; to boost her self-esteem, which, by the way, has always been low. Then Luke sees all this, and the jealousy of this naturally dominant and prickly man practically boils over, and his response is to introduce his own sister as his ex-girlfriend. Good grief, man. You're a mule, all you know how to do is kick, and that's your self-defense. Ever since Flora overheard Luke's phone conversation with his parents and heard him say "it's not time to introduce her to them yet," it hit her hard. So yes, she doesn't consider him her boyfriend, nor does she think of him as such; Otherwise, she wouldn't do and say the things she does, but I still think Flora isn't showing that she's truly interested in Luke. He is what he thinks, and suddenly she goes to lunch with her friend, and the other one puts it in her head that she has to get married, that it's been a long time and, for her own good as a woman, she has to do it. Well, in that scene, I almost threw what I'm holding at the screen. Seriously, girl, what are you on about? Saying those things to someone as insecure as Flora; then, she goes and blurts it out to Luke without even looking him in the eye, that she wants to get married and have kids. It's no wonder he answered her the way he did; these two are truly a lost cause in my opinion, and at this point, they're doing more harm than good, all because they don't talk. And especially her, I really want to slap her a couple of times to wake her up, and I'd muzzle him. Greetings, girls,
p.s. Here in Spain, we have a YouTube channel run by two real pros, where all of us who watch this drama comment on it. They usually do it with Asian dramas, mostly Korean, which is easier because they only have two a week, but they just couldn't resist commenting on this one, haha.

I like Luke more and more each time I see him, and she less and less because of their behavior. In my opinion, he, despite all his flaws, which are many and significant, gives himself completely to the relationship; she, however, doesn't. She's only worried about doing something wrong at work and losing her job. I honestly think that losing the relationship with him hurts her less because from the beginning she's never felt secure with him, nor does she believe she deserves it; in other words, she undervalues ​​herself and doesn't realize that this behavior is a mistake. She also acts very childishly sometimes when she's with him. I don't remember if it was in chapter 15 or 16, but during that scene, I talked to myself and said, "What are you, a child? There she is, grabbing his shirt and talking to him all sweet and affectionate like a little girl, or like mistresses do when they want something." I know I'm being harsh, but this woman is driving me crazy. Then there's Luke, who, when he gets upset about something she might have done, turns on her in terrible ways. He lashes out at her with everything he's got without thinking about the hurt or how she might feel. In other words, they both lose control, especially when it comes to that awful Donni and the sexual harassment. Again, she stays silent. Knowing him, I think she should have told him before playing the victim to expose that guy who, by the way, was clearly up to no good; he looked like a creep from a mile away. As always, their explanations come late and are poorly handled, which is why they have these arguments. When she told her friend she was going to help her with her business venture, I thought, "You see, that's going to be another problem with Luke for not telling him sooner. There's so much to say, but not enough paper, haha, so I'll leave it at that. But like I said, they're both going to be lost because of both of them: he for being a stubborn mule and she for being a silly, childish girl who doesn't know how to have an equal, adult relationship with him; all she cares about is keeping her job and getting promoted, and that's where the key lies. To show him that she's not useless like he thought she was. I need to process chapter 18 because it totally got me going; I'll comment on it later. Greetings from Spain."
