Your analysis makes sense to me too. MX gave up too quickly with her imagination of their future being bleak. I also thought it was odd that WJG just caved into all of MX's badgering.

You're so right - MX is more naive than Ming Lan, who seemed shrewd from the beginning. In MX's case though, she immediately threw a temper tantrum and not giving WJG a chance. Ming Lan gave Qi Heng chances which he failed each time. MX has already given up due to her imagination of their future...

What??? If he was equally as bad as he was in the show, how can BFY even tolerate having him at the wedding...
Well, he certainly spent all his money and met a deserving end in the show!

Exactly, if I remember correctly, most times when FY got upset with MX were because she was not being honest with her.

Yeah, same here. I cannot take that much melodrama.

That's the inconsistent part of MX's character I don't understand. She appeared to be completely honest to FY except for anything related to her feelings for WJG. She even told FY about rescuing WJG so why hide everything else?

It totally does, plus the show makes FY looks stupid, oblivious to the hand touching and thoughtful gestures from WJG to MX.

At this point, I just want FY to know the truth. Doesn't matter if MX and WJG don't end up together. I am curious about the future because in the novel, MX has WJG's child but he will marry FY and bring the child up....Sigh..sounds super angsty!

In a way, I would have preferred MX's crush on WJG to be unrequited, and instead, he always regarded her as a sister. Unrequited love is less painful to watch, especially with the forced circumstances and secrets.

In this love triangle, MX rubbed me the wrong way in a couple of things:
1) She never should have lied to FY from the beginning. If she were as sincere as FY was to her, their situation would not be this messy.
2) She was always in WJG's face, telling him that he owed her big time and that he cannot abandon her. All this guilt-tripping makes me question WJG's feelings.

In a way, WJG reminds me of Qi Heng, from the Story of Ming Lan, who was Ming Lan's, first love. As much as he claimed to love Ming Lan, he was effectively useless, having to follow social expectations and also being forced by circumstances.

CWD, on the other hand, is like Gu Ting Ye, the ML who ended up being the right and best man for Ming Lan.

Oh really, in that case I am glad too. Good riddance to that guy!

Just as well. Like you, I also like their chemistry but WJG is not man enough for MX...Let's move on quickly to CWD!

The third time looked pretty nasty - first time I saw how to heal it...

Yes, a sad death caused only by himself

Agreed...other than that, the angst keeps building ;(

Nope! I want the war to start so I can stop feeling uncomfortable watching the lies and sneaking around.

I agree that the two sisters need to separate, but if MX was honest with FY from the get-go and even now, they can still be together. After all MX did everything to save FY and I don't see FY as someone vindictive or spiteful. She was not even that in love with WJG.
Anyway, I prefer CWD so yes, we need him back!!! WY is now showing a nasty side so I am not rooting for him...LOL

That's the thing - even if the situation cannot be helped, and the circumstances forced MX and WJG apart, there is NO reason to lie to BFY. In this case, I truly dislike the way MX is handling it. WJG is at least trying to do the right thing, but MX is the one throwing the temper tantrums and pushing him even further away!

I hate that the show used WY to be that obstacle...so angsty LOL

Yeah each minor villain killed off o easily- lol

Totally agree. She is like the Korean actress Park Eun Bin who played a girl cross-dressed as a guy in the King's Affection. They both look good in androgynous roles.
