Dazzling Episode 30

Ambiance vs top tier decorations

Even in this last episode I can’t like Qing Ye’s dad. While he acquiesces to her choice, in his heart he would prefer Meng to Xing Wu. This is even with the knowledge of how his parents treated Qing Ye. I loved that Xing Wu showed him a workaround that let both plants reside in the same garden. He was not pleased there was a resolution to the misfit plant but accepted that it was a reasonable choice for both plants to be together. I am happy Xing Wu made a good showing at the golf course and that Meng was in on getting dad to accept the couple. He is at least a kinder rendition of his parents. We get to see the changes that have occurred over the last five years and that Qing Ye and Xing Wu are still smitten with each other and that never wavered in their time apart. The only mystery that was never really cleared up is who Xing Wu’s father was and why his mom ran away. This unknown backstory may be the reason Qing Ye’s dad was convinced the gap was too wide with the families and why Xing Wu’s mom wondered about that as well. We did not find out til very late that he and gma not blood related which meant the worthless gambler was not his dad. What it really came down to in the grand scheme of things is what’s most important — money and high social tier or accepting and loving those that embrace us for who we are regardless of status and income. I like to think that Qing Ye’s mom’s spirit pushed her to meet her ‘sister’ and family and that fate took care of the rest. I think the cast and production team did an excellent job of making these characters relatable whether we liked them or not. While some of it was paced a little slow, we got to see that money and position did not secure love and acceptance, and that poverty and harsh circumstances did not deny dreams if willing to see more than the past and public opinion to look and work for a brighter future. This drama did that well. Our couple chose ambiance and their future will be dazzling. 😁
