Maybe he didn't really "rescue" the MC. He might have accidentally found him and simply schemed to use…
Hmm, that is true - her disappearing based on the opening sequence - could either possibly mean that she returns back to where she originally came from - but if she disappears that way - I wonder if her family disappears back the same way too? Like suddenly? Hmm - very curious about this part - as it's her whole family that came to Yong'An together -- it'll be just weird if she disappears but not her family too.
You're right about one thing - she is quite worried about that - but it's quite heart wrenching to see the fact that she does care about him - yet at the same time can't admit it - even though the ML confronts her about it in the recent episode of the drama - ep 19. We as viewers can tell by the fact that they do both like/love each other - but like you said - she can't openly say so because of the "history/ancestry" issue. If I were her, even though we can't be together - I'd still would open up the matter to the other person - and not deny the feelings/worries that I may have - faced with - the conflicts that are arising through misunderstandings are quite troubling and frustrating at times. If you do treasure this friendship/future relationship - then open communication needs to be brought forward - honesty is how I perceive in any relationship. Running away doesn't resolve anything at all.
Yes, it may be difficult for the other party to understand this matter - but if zero discussion about it - the rest of the time in that era or place will be harder to handle - constant avoidance or running away - makes me feel like a coward/being selfish at times. You can't avoid people forever - especially if you are both in the same place of living, etc. Sigh.
Anyways, love to see all the food that they cook (the Shen family) or create. Makes me hungry every time the come up with something new and attract new customers to their restaurant that way.
It was nice that when the FL was confronted by the other restaurant's family/guy wedding proposal - on the spot she purposely took the "so-called proposal cake" to make the ML jealous but at the same time, later that evening - when the ML came back just in time to actually hear her reject the other guy pretty quickly - it made the ML happy - and make the ML more concern about her too - in his heart he too love her - and wants to propose to her - but he too has to wait as well - as he's dealing with his investigation as to who actually killed his whole family and why. Until that case is resolved and his family's name is clear of guilty that was implored onto them - can he even consider about marriage - as he doesn't want to hurt the FL's family in the process too.
Either way, I do hope that they will confront their feelings for each other soon and not hesitate anymore/delay it anymore until it's too late.
Having finally caught up to the most current episode of this drama that has been released - I'd say that - he (the ML) - may or may not be the actual ancestor of the FL's family - because at the beginning scene - we see the FL chasing after the cute guy (ML) who was walking very quickly down a pathway - which eventually lead her to where she is now - including her family too - so in many ways - I feel like there may be some connection to the past and present of the two worlds?!? Like throughout the drama - many things in the ML's world - has a lot of modern things in it too - at the same time -
Anyways - in terms of who is behind the ML's family massacrer - it's still remains a mystery - who I think I don't trust in the story are as follow: Prince Zhao doesn't exactly seem to be trustworthy despite the fact he rescue the ML - the Emperor - Yuan Feng, and some others. As well not sure if I can trust to Mr. Cao too.
As for the Shen family - honesty the brother and father always causes trouble and overly talkative -- like grow up more and be more mature - don't just blurt out things that can cause humongous problems for the family.
As for the 2 main leads - they really need to be honest with their feelings towards each other - clear up misunderstandings and move on in their courting/relationship with one another.
Wow you wrote it beautifully, you should move this to review section
OK - I submitted it and hopefully it will be approved. In the meantime, I'll leave it here too.
I forgot to mention - all the actors and actresses in this drama did well! Esp the chemistry between the 2 leads - William Chan and Zhao Lusi. But coming 2nd is the Xu Yan's sister (acted by Wan Peng) and her relationship with the doctor - Yu Yi Ming (acted by Tang Xiao Tian) - their relationship are quite sweet too and willing to communicate things with one another too. Plus I love the kid - Hao Chen - he's so adorable and sweet too - plus the HaoMing's family - after they open up to one another - again communication is key here - they are all the best too.
Finally finished watching it - the whole drama was definitely a slice of life kinda story. It's learning from mistakes one made (in terms of lying) and how to overcome + fix them, plus the most important key point in a relationship, is honesty, trust, open communication, understanding and care. We definitely take others for granted and we must learn to love bravely even though our past hurts have hurt us a lot. Learning to grow from these pains, moving on and holding our heads up high.
Lying doesn't get us far, as we know, it will eventually become our downfalls - including greediness, revenge, selfishness, etc.
But with unconditional love, honesty, trust, open communication and a clear conscience in any relationship will get you further than lying. Supporting one another, not judging others, not being overly self-centered/ego-centered, believe in each other will bring together a strong foundation for both parties involved - whether that be family dynamics, relationship dynamics, friendship dynamics or coworkers too - its the same thing. Without proper, real understanding - without talking over one another or assuming things - things will be more clear in any relationships out there.
Overall, I really love this drama - there were painful moments, but also joyful moments too - the life as it is - in real life - like a rollercoaster - taking challenges thrown our ways and change them into lemonades. It's okay to cry, it's okay to mistakes - it's not okay to lie - but to really be honest with one another is really important. Otherwise it'll cause a lot of misunderstandings between both parties involved.
I totally love the OST of this drama - beautifully written and matches the drama a lot completely.
I'm glad it was a happy ending - although I do wished to have seen Hao Chen together in the family picture too - alongside with both HaoMing's family and Xu Yan's family too! Would've loved to see Hao Chen make dumplings together with Xu Yan's grandma too! That would've been a cherry on top.
So, in my opinion after watching all of this is definitely 10/10 highly recommended.
P.S. Though this drama may not be everyone's cup of tea - but worth a try too.
Lin Tao (qiao lins ex) was spying on them after supposedly gracefully bowing out. So i have a feeling it has something…
sigh - these two - Lin Tao andd Qiao Lin needs to get to mental hospital jail asap -- they're psychopaths - don't know how to accept a rejection properly and move on with your life. argh.
I seriously don't get people like Lin Tao and Fang Lei. Why feel the need to harm someone you love or once loved?
They're messed up -- their brain can't function at all - jealous, selfish, one-side mind -- they don't know how to accept rejection properly! Seriously if these two aren't going to be arrested any time soon, the 2 main lead's lives will be constantly ruin and messed up by these two psychopaths!
It is another guy from Jinda Group she is sleeping with. Not the secretary. I had some trouble to tell them apart…
great -- that's definitely not good -- all of these evil guys needs to be put into a high level security mental hospital jail forevermore!! Plus go bankrupt and pay a humongous fine money back to our main leads!! Really getting on my nerves -- esp the Steve -- guy actually broke into our ML's safe and stole private documents from our ML - that's how Hao ChenChen's real background life history got to the media! Argh! Fxxx him and those evill dudes! disgusting!
Ok, so I watch ep 30 trailer -- I wonder what lead to Qiao Lin and Yu Yi Ming's breakup - and giving up on their marriage so suddenly?? As all the previous episodes trailers show nothing that could've lead to their eventual break up -- now making me wondering if it also have to do with the mysterious "person" who wants to ruin the main leads couple lives including their friends too?!? Honestly I don't want to see them break up - but there must've been something serious that made Qiao Lin break up with Yu Yi Ming...hmmm...anyone have any ideas or clues about it?!?
I don't think I've laughed so hard at an actual comedy. The first half of #26 was epically hilarious!!! The two…
Agree! I am finding this Steve guy becoming so much more annoying and a jerk that gets in the way of the 2 main leads relationship - what are those evil guys trying to get at?? Why in the world are they trying to ruin other people's relationship (esp family) and all. Pissing me off a lot! Like have him arrest -- esp when he stole things from someone's personal "security box" - he's literally a thief!! Put the fxxxing Steve into high security jail forevermore without parole - make him pay a humongous fine money back to our main leads - as well not just any ordinarily jail but a high security mental hospital jail! Seriously really get lost!
I feel super sad for Hao ChenChen and HaoMing's father -- I hope that both of them will get better soon! I also need the other 2FL -Fang Lei to be put into that high security mental hospital jail too! Argh!
Lastly whoever is the biggest manipulator - behind the scenes who constantly wants to ruin both the main lead's life - needs to be arrested too, bankrupted and pay all the money back to our main leads immediately and put into super high mental hospital security jail too!
Let me tell you, tears were rolling down my face during the first half of episode 26 and I was howling with laughter.…
exactly! This dude is constantly trying to ruin their relationship all the time - it was going fine thru the first half of ep 26 - and then boom, he ruins it again (the Fxxxing Steve dude - like super mentally jerk - should also be thrown into jail - or mental hospital jail too). Like get lost! Leave the two alone for once!
I am currently getting really annoyed of those who constantly want to ruin both Xu Yan's hardwork of starting a business from scratch on her own with her friends -- and Shen HaoMing's hardwork of trying to be part of the board of directors.
I know that based on previews - that Fang Lei and that other guy - (not sure if it's really HaoMing's assistant or someone else) that's trying hard to mess up our main lead's hardwork, etc.
Then those who are jealous and not satisfy of HaoMing's presence at the workplace of his father's -- is another thing too.
I honestly hope sooner or later - those who want to ruin the life works of both our main leads - will end up arrested and thrown into jail - especially one of the major one is Fang Lei! She's a psycho! Should be locked away in a mental hospital for good! What part of "no he doesn't like you -- do you not understand?!? Go get a life and find someone else to love instead of being a psycho maniac - over-obsessed with the main ML!" - I still think she killed her own sister too over jealousy and selfishness!
I kinda felt bad for Haoming during the dinner tbh.
Ya, I felt the same too - she should give thanks to him as well - not just Mr. Liang - yes he may have contributed in the investment side of things - but tbh, HaoMing did a lot of things for her indirectly - like help with the PR indirectly change the direction of everything that has been said online about her company. As well, he came to her rescue when her truck broke down during the 1st batch of distribution and also he came to her rescue twice - once bring the wife of the partner he was trying to win favor for his company - to resolve the distrust the others had in her company (so-called business partners) - to giving her ideas to help with the fashion run-way for the fashion design competition.
Also, for the fact that she was entertaining more with Mr. Liang and haven't even given him any appreciation of his contribution too - felt a bit unfair to me.
Same! The fact that Fang Lei was crushing on her sister's bf....that made me sus of her when she said her sister…
Most likely - she's all over him (Fang Lei) constantly and threatening him on/off all the time -- her jealousy over other women that's connect to HaoMing is very obvious - she's super obsessive, controller, manipulator, liar, murderer, etc. She should go to the mental hospital jail asap!!
