So that's more like fostering, which is just caretaking. Adoption is a whole legal process and I wish people wouldn't use that term because it's part of what gets people all riled up even though there's absolutely no blood relation or reason for the two to be together.

I disagree. She's too much of a suck up. He loves our FL's whacky, fierce spirit. If anything it would have been a contract/business marriage and he's not interested in that.

She has zero experience or concept of what a happy family or marriage looks like, and has always been fiercely independent, so she's being cautious. I think they will eventually get married. The poor thing needs time. ML is the first person she's ever been fully vulnerable with.

I think they moved into her apartment because it's fully paid for and he most likely still had a mortgage, plus he may have lived there when he was still in a relationship with SFL before their breakup. They are starting fresh in the place she bought.

It seems like she suspected the brother of doing some dirty shit.

It did. But she's probably still not in control of her feelings for him, which is why she hasn't called. The girl is not happy and I am glad.

And not one bossy boots parent trying to control the main couple's relationship. Also love how he changed his door code so the sisters could not walk in on them. A very smart and considerate move.

Agree.

Was she even adopted? More like she grew up with FL's mum and stayed with FL's mum's family during a period when she faced hard times.

And kind of irresponsible. She seemed to have been making good money for the husband to run off to gamble with and then when he left the family the poor son, who has great academic potential and is clearly a future engineering or whatever genius, has to leave school to work to support the family so she can play mahjong all day and shop till she drops.

The bottom line is that they do that a lot in these dramas and as long as the couple are not blood related, and especially if they did not grow up in the same home (although I was cool with Speed and Love), the where's the drama? The bottom line is that there is absolutely nothing incestuous about the relationship.

Yes, I saw that from comments by people who've seen the episode. Plus one of the ML's friends seems to have a crush on her. Very bad idea, my friend.

Sadly, I am watching on Viki because it's not airing in Iqiyi in the U.S.

Ji Hu's text to the uncle brought tears to my eyes. What a sweet boy and the only one with any sense.

I am one episode behind because for some damn reason it airs here on Sunday and Monday, but from previews it looks like the uncle is going to go console the auntie over the death of her mum and I hope that it's a starting point of them resuming their relationship.

I also hope the alleged main couple get their shit together. There was no grandparents' affair and no need for this stupid ancient history to continue to affect their happiness.

As for the remaining grandparents, I hope they finally realize the cost their families have been paying for their bitterness. The grandma was writing letters to her husband all of this time yet she dares to deny her granddaughter happiness? I cannot believe what a bastard the grandfather was to his wife and hope the rest of his life is a bloody misery!!!

Both of these couples need to take a stand. The MC's parents are happily married; don't they deserve the same?

What are you talking about? The grandma was apparently assaulted, went home and then was assaulted again by her asshole husband. The grandpa seems to have had some sort of accident and has been held hostage by some loony criminal mind woman.

It's crazy to my American brain.

Maybe that's why she's not called him...yet, lol.

Here's a crazy thought: While the SML's half brother was definitely vile, I also thought he was kind of sexy as hell. The actor, not the character, lol.

Weddings are nice, but she is still healing from her traumatic upbringing and has no experience of marriage bliss, so is taking baby steps with a fully supportive partner. But he is the most important person in her life and she's also learning about happy families with the sisters, who have fully embraced her, so she'll get there. I'm happy that they're happy.

I agree. Plus, as bold as she is in business, Zhen is still quite young and he's a bit cautious because dude's got a lot going on, but the love is genuine and very, very sweet.

"This drama is basically the adults TRYING to pass generational trauma onto younger cast. "

THIS.

Perfection!!!
