Finally finished this drama last night. It took me a while to get through the last 4 episodes, as I've lost the momentum and interest for the last arc. The other arcs are good (though not perfect) with some memorables scenes, so I enjoyed those. Overall, it's a nice watch, but not exceptional for me.
In ep 29, I'm so glad that Yun Xi finally made her choice and stands up against her grandma - for herself, her man and her child! (Their kiss in front of granny is just so good to watch 😄). Grandma Rong is so infuriating and has not learned her lesson!
So after Rattan, Jing Tian and Zhang Bin Bin are back in another drama 😊. Based on the teaser alone, it looks interesting. I've added it to my plan to watch list.
I'd love if he got with that girl, she's so witty and kinda matches him
I like Xu Mei Ying's character. She is a wise woman. I like that she doesn't force herself on LJL, and even gives him good advice/food for thought. Shows she cares, at least as a friend/sister.
I kept wondering how Bai Ying Sheng could have flipped so quickly and in such a short time, like a 180 degree turn. I understand that what Yun Shu did to him was horrible, but it doesn't seem to be enough for him to change like that. It did cross my mind though, that this might just be part of RSB's plan. Poor LJL, he's left in the dark all along! Though in some sense, I understand why she did not tell him her whole plan. I wish that in the succeeding episodes, RSB will be more open to LJL and they would grow as a power couple.
As for Grandma Rong, old habits die hard. After everything that had happened, she still can't let go of her controlling tendencies! I hope she would improve later on.
Xu Mei Ying is a wise woman. She won't force herself on Lu Jiang Lai knowing he loves RSB. But she did give good advice and food for thought to LJL. So far, I like her character.
I also like the improved relationship between most of the Rong sisters.
The writers and directors here did a great job in writing the characters’ CP and tension. They knew viewers…
💯 agree! That's why I really like what Shanbao said to Shen Xiang Ling in ep 22, that she's glad that she and LJL are like-minded in wanting to protect what's dear and precious to them, i.e., Rong family and the city of Linji, and what happens in Linji affects everyone who lives there.
While I think everything @AleksandraSucur and @Jinnie77 have said in response is true, I also think @Ash's main…
Thanks for pointing out that people have different tastes 👍. I would also add that we have diverse PoVs shaped by different factors, so we might be looking at the same scene and yet interpret things differently (slightly or vastly different).
