I’m eye rolling the lawyer guy. He said some very profound words to Fang Lei before uhm. Ruined it with the “resolution” for her cure. Why????? Eh

What a treat this beautiful Sunday to immerse in these two awesome episodes. 22. There you have it, all the Haomings, Yimings. Top rated advice in your relationships. Don’t be slow. Express your feelings don’t delay. Know your feelings and act on it. Don’t be overbearing. :)

Hate Feng Lei character but actress is really good.

You know, as in life, we must not dwell on our mistakes rather than how we fix it and move forward. I’ve long forgotten 14 and he’s done nothing to make me think he’s a bad person with evil intentions. Discovery of true self is not an overnight thing. He’s definitely growing and all directions (sabotaging the “8th” deadline, bonding with his parents, etc) towards his wife. Seriously, directing of this development is so good. It’s slow but it’s as if it wants to implement this very important human element. It’s working for me. I see it. I feel it. Man, the sadness and defeat in Haoming when the lady took the certificate but his suppressed exhilaration when it’s delayed again was so well acted. I felt it.

Fang Lei says, you’ve been cheated on. Though it’s said bc she brought up Jiang Liang, I wonder if there’s a double meaning (sister 🧐). I kind of don’t want that arc after seeing some comments on this possibility. Oh well, we’ll see.

21. What an episode! Their in car bantering was hilarious. That addition is really good directing as then it pivots it into more serious scenes with Haochen, his pondering moments, with his dad. This episode finally focuses on Haoming and his character growth. Of course all due to his wife. I love how balanced the directing is. I don’t want to spoil too much but just when I think an episode can’t get better, this was so good. To see the character developments as I root for them is so worth the watch. To see love manifesting is so satisfying. But then, ending person ruins it but that’s to pique what’s next. Onward!

Same. This ep (21) validates it.

My complete ending of this beautiful drama would be a HaoXu baby. I mean we don’t even know if they’ll be together (ALTHOUGH) but my ideal anyways. Overthinking? Haha, yeah i think so too.

My suspicion too. That’s too big of a twist though with just a few episodes though I’m thinking.

Yeah did get that part and on screen it’s fine bc we caught on to what was happening. Anyways, it’s not a big deal plot driven wise. We get it. In real life??? Forward to more great episodes.

I usually rave about Lusi whom I’m a fan but i wanna focus on William Chen. His exposure from this film is big. I knew of him from the film Only Side by Side with You, which i checked for another favorite Bai Bai He. He was good but I didn’t resonate to him. I am definitely appreciative of him as he’s so perfect for this role. This last episode as I studied his every part, line, emotions, I can’t see anyone but him as HaoMing. I’m even seeing random posts showing up on feeds that brings more attention to him. Outside of acting, he seems like a very nice person. In the cast livestream, he’s fun and very kind. He’s one I heard who stayed in contact and supportive while Lusi was going through that hard time. I love seeing people being their true self because acting is a job but being human is life. I’m a fan for sure with an A++++ if he does Xu Yan right by the end. :)

20. The comedic portion of the spy was nonessential.(what did he smell to fall. no matter what, who would leave an intruder in your room. Or is that a normal rich people thing i wouldn’t understand?) i also felt that the acting behind the screen was involuntarily on the view. Their giggles couldn’t be contained, obviously they had lots of fun filming and probably a lot of takes. BUT, it balanced out I feel. There were many deep moments when seriousness took over that were sad and heart pondering. Out on the patio, him talking about his past, how it affected his pathway and his parents view of him. Two people who are slowly getting to know each other. That confession at the end was not acting as they’re supposedly. I believe it is the truest of his heart whether he knows it or her believing it. (twelve episodes to go) That was beautiful but if I was directing, the kiss should of came naturally in pursuit. I guess the point of the spy had to be relevant (scoff). As we can tell at that parting, it’ll be back to square one but, the wheels are half way through for the inevitable.

Didn’t care too much for the cos-play but the ending of 19 was significant to me. In their conversation earlier he still thinks of their marriage as a career boost for her. The auto guess though at end is the revelation of how detailed their relationship was, those small things like bandaging, actually meant a lot. Embedded in their memory was a moment that was bonded. Interesting.

Is 19 out? Where please?

My point. It’s totally sticking with me, everything. I can feel every emotions of characters, the points of dialogue, the flow of episodes and its contents, etc. Exactly how I’d like a drama to be. Sure, come on back for final analysis discussions when it’s done and meanwhile, find your happy place.

So many like me see it opposite. Hope you find the perfect drama that fits with you.

Funny I was just responding to something of the same line of your thoughts. There are so many dramas floating around (particularly cdrama, short) where I am foaming with the way fl’s (married plots) are mistreated i am aghast at even the minds behind such productions. Not all but most end up together??? Qualities of HaoMing i see: respectful to his parents, loving and protective of his brother/son, never mean and always treated YuYan like a queen. Now of course his agenda wasn’t good from the gecko, but he has good qualities that if truly repent fully and make amends of the heart, he like anyone can be turned from good to bad. I respect your opinion but that’s just how I see him.

18. Hao Ming in the midst of his busy business dealings asking his assistant how XuYun was tells us that definitely the wheels are turning. He does care more than he realizes and I’m happily loving the she fell first he fell harder arc. Let him grovel and earn it though. :)

I saw a clip of Wen Zheng Rong (hao mings mom) watching the drama and gleefully cheering Lusi when she appeared. Also saw clips showing random people in china (old to very young) glued to the show. I imagine all the people from remote villages too who Lusi supported watching in support. Many celebrities donate which is great and wonderful. Lusi just after recovery from her illness and still not quite fully was already remorseful to her fans and making compensations (for some cancelled events, etc). In her most vulnerable state that wasn’t appealing (perspective of her career), she cared so much for people she approved being filmed to bring awareness to people so they might not suffer from her disease. She visited remote villages of farmers and brought awareness to their products which in turn had people buying. Why is Lusi so well loved? If you want people to say kind words about you while you’re alive, do kind deeds that eases the struggles of others. She has a magnetism that flocks the many.

What’s nice about watching well made shows is being able to expand our perspectives to the random of life that may or may not be applicable to our own, yet experience it through the lens on screen. No matter what though, there’s tons of themes that does apply to everyone.

Lies never get you nowhere in the long run. Short term solutions but it catches up. Solutions can be soft or unredeemable in in aftermath. I’m glad this one is presenting more of a soft redeemable side. Both leads have baggage’s that led them to this facade. However, they are good people at heart who just need to find their true worth and discover what they mean to each other. I’m rooting for them.

Thank you for sharing. I’m with you.
