Just watched the first 4 episodes. Here is the breakdown. STOP! if you do not want spoilers.
It starts out with Gu Meng running towards a fire shouting her father's name and dropping a watch.
Fast forward two years later and you find Gu Meng in a club singing. Enter Xiao Hong Ye who is now a governor. He became the youngest governor because the wealthiest family in Luo City, the Gu family was wiped out overnight. That was his steppingstone to Commander Zhou. He is now with the Zhou's daughter.
Gu Meng is now singing at a club. She is later dancing and switches places with Zhou's daughter and is dancing with Xiao Hong Ye. He realizes who she is. She tries to kill him while dancing, and he pushes her back and she hits her head. He takes her back to his mansion and tells her she is his maid because she now has amnesia. He doesn't believe her but with her trying to escape several times, he knows she is not faking it. He even tells another maid to tell her she is a maid.
Back story on the wedding, Gu Meng (at the scene of the fire and they are both in wedding attire) confronts Xiao Hong and tells him that he killed her whole family. She asked him why he killed her family; he tells her that her father killed more than ten people in his family. His home was ransacked and destroyed. As a result, his father died from hunger and cold. He watched his mother being violated by someone. She jumped into a well and died. He told her, her family deserved it. She doesn't believe her father did that and he is accusing her family falsely.
Gu Meng tells him that he deliberately tried to get close to her. He told her that he loved her. That it was all lies. She was just a tool to retaliate against her father.
Xiao tells her that it was her honor to be used as a tool. She calls him a murderer. She takes her hairpin to kill him, and she falls into the water. In the water, she thinks about how they met. She recalls their wedding. She wanted him to treat her well. and she said to him to be sure to make her become the happiest woman in the world. They both pinky swear.
Time goes back to current, as wakes up and finds herself tied up in the mansion of Xiao. Waking up she ask him who he is.
As Xiao sits there, he thinks about how she is alive and for the past two years how she has suffered to seek revenge. She asks him again who he is. He says memory loss. That is the kindness to his enemy's daughter and is the trampling of the dignity of his family.
This begins the suffering of her at the hands of Xiao. He treats her really bad: - She is handcuffed, and her feet are too because she tried to escape - Gets his other maid to agree to tell her that she is a maid - Stuffs food down her mouth after she became insolent when he asks her to make his plate - Tries to steal the key to get of her chains off and he catches her, throws her on the bed and the kissing begins. - Zhou's daughter tries to whip her because she blames her for stealing her clothes. Xiao says he will do a room search. At gun point, he makes her strip (only taking her top off) and sees the leaf tattoo which he now realizes this was the surprise she had for him for their wedding night. He recalls their wedding night after seeing the leaf tattoo and makes her leave. She only had two conditions: That he would always love her and treat her well. -Gu Meng decides to give in and stop trying to leave. Xiao makes her bring buckets of waters for him to take a bath. He then picks her up and puts her in with him. More kissing. (He is too fine), Zhou's daughter comes in and Gu Meng takes the opportunity to kiss him again. She is now going to be his concubine.
Well, Zhou's daughter is not happy about him making her a concubine and decides to set her up. She has one of the male staff take her and assault her. She calls Xiao and his second in command comes and tells her he isn't around. She tells him that he needed to see that she is committing adultery. Someone gets a surprise, and it is her. When they pull the covers back, Xiao is in bed with Gu Meng.
@Monero Rhania agreed but unfortunately, FOR ME, the similarities of him portraying the same character in AROTLF…
@zcc8888 and may I say that I never said that Vin was not a talented actor nor was he NOT doing a good job in this drama. I was strictly stating my opinion of what I was seeing in both these dramas.
As I, and probably most of us did NOT know the filming process so as you said now that we know, we can only say thank you for filling us in!
@ErickaRamirez ANNOYED!!! SY needs to go. This wife has to be the dumbest yet. I mean come on, she sees the signs and is not acting? She calls her mother to ask her if it is ok to let her LEAVE HER HOUSE!!! What?
Honestly, I don't know why this could EVEN be a comparison to You Are My Glory but, shall we move on.
Personally, I want to slap Li Chi. He just needs to go. What is his function because he most certainly isn't doing any work of any kind. Why is he so adamant to be a cog in the wheel of seeing the company succeed.
GL and CS, as I've said before I am not feeling any type of attraction between these two. Even though they say opposites attract. This couple is just not doing it for me.
We are only on episode 12 out of 32 episodes so I cannot wait until we start getting into the meat of the story of what happened to XY parents. Of course, we know someone killed them no doubt. What is really going on with XYS and what he has been through all these years?
I cannot wait to see them in a relationship because that is surely going to be interesting to say the least.
This is HERE WE MEET AGAIN it's not you're my glory and neither is it romance of the little forest, I get it it's…
@Monero Rhania agreed but unfortunately, FOR ME, the similarities of him portraying the same character in AROTLF is just too close. He is playing the SAME type of character down to the glasses! Again, just my opinion. But I am most definitely feeling that as we keep going it is getting better than his previous role, to which I am happy about.
Ok. Ok. Kim Jae Wook is giving us an historical drama…yes! Love me some KJW! Oh, and don’t let me be remiss in having Lee Jae Wook too. My heart is racing! I cannot wait!
pretty leads, some cute side characters, wasted with bad writing and mediocre c-drama directing. I really hoped…
@Wndering Dragon I loved You Are My Glory and that is nowhere near this and was a much better drama in my opinion than this one. I feel that Vin is still playing the same role that he did in AROTLF. Wearing the glasses, standoffish, trying to get her to love him.... This one is a much better one than that drama. But again, along the same lines.
Please don't hate me too much.I have an issue with how the FL consistently props her mouth open after every sentence…
@JustRozelyn yes Vin has been in the same role in the AROTLF and now this one. I need to see him break out into a different role. But he has some up-and-coming ones that I think we will see a different side.
As far as the FL, I do like her, but I wish she would stop wearing her hair like that. It is not that becoming to me. I like when she wore the beret it was cute on her.
Just watched the first 4 episodes and post spoilers of these episodes. It is not a bad watch but Shi Yue, man, she will work your nerves! That girl is a true Lolita!!!
I've watched all 4 episodes. Oh, this drama has already annoyed me with Shi Yue!!! This chick needs to go.
It starts out that SAA is going back over what happened to her "perfect" life that she had with RYM and her daughter.
RYM works in marketing. He believed that he was going to be the manager of marketing but not so fast. His boss decides to bring in Liang Yuan (by the way she is the ex of RYM). You know something is up by the way RYM and LY are looking at each other. That is, they know each other. But RYM is not understanding why she is there for the job or some other reason. Hmm...
SAA (RYM's wife) is basically a stay-at-home wife/mother who also does livestreaming of her cooking. But this woman is too much. Ironing the shirts like you bought them out of the store, making dumplings EVER morning, I mean this woman is super woman (yes, shout out to all those wonderful mothers out there who are doing it!). She feels she has the perfect life and family but not so fast. Here enters the "little Lolita" to ruin her world...Shi Yue, her sister. She was in NYC but came back and was to call SAA to let her know she would be coming. But we all knew she wasn't doing that because she was running from something. I believe one of the guys she knew in NYC took advantage of her, and she ran.
Let me be clear, this chick would not be strolling around in her "daisy dukes" with my man around. Their daughter asks her where her pants were...lol! SY said that is how they wear them in NYC. But gf you are not in NYC. You rolled up in someone else's house which you need to show some respect. SY has already decided she wants to permanently live there the minute she saw the house and RYM.
RYM loves his wife. He makes sure that he gives her praise and just lets her know that he loves her. But when he wants to be intimate with her, she brushes him off. But he still isn't deterred. He bought her some "red shoes" as a surprise because she would wear shoes with color. SAA is in the kitchen and SY tells her she will take the fruit up to RYM. He is changing. Now, isn't customary to knock on the door. Nope she walks right in, and he is changing. He apologizes to her, and she sees the box. He tells her they are for her sister. She tells her she can look at them and then she tries them on. Really? First of all, he bought them for his wife AND they are too small for her to put her big feet in. She crammed them in!
But this chick does some shady stuff: RYM was drinking brandy and she took that from him to drink out of his glass. Dinner, she took the ladle from the soup and tasted it and put it back in telling him to keep it a secret. Then when she saw both of them taking the daughter to the bus stop and hugging each and you could see the jealous look on her face. But when she asks her sister to stay there permanently, my response.... Hell No! Even her best friend RF told her to get her out. She told her she was too nice, and it was going to get her in trouble. Which we can see it is!
The funny part was when SAA came home, she saw that SY was doing nothing, and she told her she needed to do something and leaves the house. But she forgets something goes back in and SY is jamming and wearing her red shoes! SAA tells her to take them off. The attitude she gave her, I would have slapped her for real. She pushes her and then runs out the house basically blames her for not wanting her to stay. Oh, and of course, RYM comes home and see her being pathetic for the umpteenth time and he tells her it will be ok, blah, blah, blah. And she hugs him. This man he is ridiculous, like he should have pushed her away.
RYM finds out that LY is needing an intern for her team, so he tells SY who applies for it. Come on, now you have your ex-gf and your sister-in-law working at the same company. I can't! But LY rejected her, but her boss MADE her hire SY. Oh, and get this, she wore the red shoes! Yes, RYM tells her to get the shoes because she has nothing to wear. SAA is pissed. She tells her that she has other shoes that she can wear and RYM tells her to stop making a big deal about it. I was mad for her too!
Right now, RYM is so on my hit list. First of all, he didn't even tell his wife that the ex-gf was working there. He said he didn't get promoted because they brought in another guy. Excuse? No, it wasn't another guy, it was your ex. Already lying!!! Then in the car going to work, SY kisses him on the cheek because she appreciates his help. Fuming again! Dude, don't you understand anything of what is going on. He isn't that slow.
Meanwhile SAA, gets caught up with RF where she previously worked at the car dealership. RF blows off Lin Yao (cutie) and ask her to sell him the car. He buys it. RF screws up the paperwork, so SAA has to go back and smooth things over with him. He tells her they have to go for a test drive and that RF has 30 minutes to get it right. She does.
SAA tells their daughter that RYM is going to pick them up to take them out to dinner. She first texts SY to tell her there is food in the fridge that she can heat up because they are eating out. But both RYM and SY are in a cafe going over stuff since she just got hired at the same company too. She sees his phone ringing, but he had it on vibrate, she covers it up, so he is none the wiser that she has called.
What I'm seeing is that this drama headed: RYM is going to leave SAA because of SY. RF (who is RYM's sister) will stay with her man even though she acts crazy thinking he is cheating all the time. SAA will get her life and her daughter's life together with her own survival instincts and she will end up with Lin Yao in her life. RYM is going to regret everything and in the end leave SY because he will finally figure her out. Where LY fits into all of this I don't know but I think that SY is too much competition, and she will do her in and make her end up leaving the company.

It is a good 12-minute watch. He is just to find and yes, I will go in the bath with you anytime!!! Whew!

Those are the first 4 episodes!
And the twins? Who cannot help but love them...so cute!
