I've watched both, the Chinese and Korean version and skipped this version of it, but I think I'm going to have to re-think that. Most of the review are so positive and I do love Ethan Juan and Joe Chen separately, so this maybe just what I'm looking for right now.

the MIL sends my BP sky high. I want to reach through the screen with every scene and smack the old hag.

but that was before he married Shiyi

oh geez, you are my people, LOL. I kept thinking can't someone push her into the pond or dose her tea with something lethal. That old hag is as toxic as they come.

I think that's my biggest problem and also being from the West. I love the two main leads, but I keep telling the ML to grow a pair when it comes to his mother, that old hag is as toxic as they come.

this is my second time watching and I guess I didn't watch diligently enough because I sure don't remember what a hag the ML's mother was. Arrogant and controlling and hypocritical. She's such a stupid old woman that she believes every lie that's told her and avoids the truth and then when she's proven wrong she never says "oh sorry". I finally had to skip episodes because it was sending my BP sky high. LOL. The writers did a great job of making her completely unlikeable. The only reason I finished this was for WC and TSY.

Thank you. this is my second time watching and honestly I don't think I paid a whole lot of attention the first time. This time is a completely different story. I never wanted to belt an old lady so much in my life. And I keep screaming at the screen "Man...grow a pair. Tell her that you are not going to take on another concubine and your wife can continue working at the embroidery shop as long as she wants. I'm with you, lets give her a smack.

thank you, that made me laugh. I did finish it I'm glad I did, but it will not be one I watch again.

honestly, just because someone has a different opinion on this than you do, does not mean that you are 100% correct and they are wrong. To bad you don't understand that. You can repeat this opinion a dozen more times, that doesn't make your opinion the absolute.

I stopped at epi 11 but have since gone back and decided I would forge my way through. I'm on epi 33 now and all I want to do is toss Wen Wen out a 30 story window, she is the most annoying character I've seen in cdramas and that is saying alot because the writers of these thing really know how to write annoying women. (I really wished she hadn't survived the skiing accident - but then there wouldn't be this drama that is so frustrating). I think at this point I'm just a glutton for punishment. If it wasn't for Shawn Dao, I would have given up.

I swear, I have never watched a cdrama that the FL is such a doormat and completely clueless even though she's supposed to know what happens as the years progress. On epi 33 and I just cringe each time another woman calls her out for being scheming when really all she is is clueless. She never opens her mouth to defend herself but lets the nasty woman bash her while meekly standing there and taking it. Both Xiao Jing and Wen Wen are two of the most nasty self important immature women who assume everyone will jump to do their bidding because they have parents who apparently never told them the world didn't owe them. (and yes, I do know this is television and not real life, but I have to wonder if this is how all rich people in China act) I know I am 2/3 the way through, but I really think I need to skip. I'm only watching this for Shawn Dao, but I really think I need to avoid these women.

I'm watching for the 2nd time and I've spent so much time crying especially from time of the car accident. I'm at epi 34 right now and I had forgotten that Dylan asked Jiaxin to leave Xiyi alone so his sister Anna could have him. What a pathetic man.

Epi 22 and is there any more self-absorbed woman than Anna? Didn't like her from the beginning, really don't like her now. Edit: Epi 34 and Dylan had the nerve to ask Jiaxin to leave Xiyi alone so his sister can have him. I had watched this before and completely forgotten this part. Did they even think about Xiyi's feelings. I want to scream at the writers.

am right there now and I wanted to reach through the screen and smack her. the ML was getting ready to tell Anna and she pops up that she's the dietician. Then I have to wonder if these people know anything about "in-door voices" when she sits with her BFF in the restaurant and the friend starts screaming. I think most of the BFF's in these shows are so toxic. I am determined to watch, but oh geez, I may end up skipping.

I feel like I came into the middle of the show, they were going to get married? her family died? she came back as his maid? What the hell is going on? Ok, I get that she has amnesia, but he doesn't so why does he treat her so badly and then fall in love with her while she is basically his slave. Finally hit epi 5 and I'm still confused and I really don't know if I can watch the next few without skipping to the end for clarification. But, after reading the reviews, I don't know if I can even do that.

The parenting style is certainly different from the West. It would have been one thing to call my Dad - Mr., Teacher, Dean, etc at school, but had I addressed him that way at home he would have disciplined me then LOL.

the "best friends" are almost always the worst. This one is even worse than most of them.

I'm asking myself in every scene of her friends, how does anyone endure that kind of friendship? SanSan would be out of my life so fast her little pinhead would spin and how the boyfriend sticks around for as long as he did is amazing to me. To me the reason these "friends" continue to act this way is that nobody calls them out on their bad "advice" or the way they act.

self torture....I love that, made me laugh.

completely agree with you about the FL's father, unfortunately as we've all seen, this seems to be a standard in this shows, the females feelings are seldom considered when it comes to their families pride, etc.
