Does it cost money for them to add beauty filters to each character? I noticed a tendency in Cdramas to either only filter the two main leads or use a stronger filter on them than everyone else. I'm wondering if this is a budget concern or if they are trying to emphasise their beauty as the leads?

At first, I found the wording (at least on the Eng subs) a bit wishy washy and wasn't sure if he actually cheated but later on once or twice characters did specifically mention cheating. i *think* but am not sure, that with passing review cdramas can't be too explicit about things like cheating, as to be seen as encouraging it on tv is a big no-no.

for real!

I know but to me it feels like passing the buck to her when he was the problem. He was married then cheated, he paid for everything for them, took their sides and neglected his family. It feels like he only dumped her because she was no longer serving him but causing him issues. He's also still delulu about his business acumen but i'm only on ep 35

After all that, he doesn't even dump the mistress in person? He makes his assistant do it? He's learned nothing; he's just changing with the wind and whoever is good to him.

Somehow, in both fiction and real life, men with families will cheat on their wives and still manage to be self-righteous...

hahaha just kidding

Does anyone else have second-male-lead-syndrome watching this?

Love the examples of women in their 40s and 50s absolutely shining after divorce or widowhood. We need to stop with the women are basically dead after 30 ageism bs

yay!!!

Are the full eps out tomorrow on Express?

Question: In the last 5-ish years, the money they've put into Cdramas has increased, and the popularity is up, especially overseas. Do we think they will start doing remakes of older classic dramas? Like Gu Man's Boss & Me and My Sunshine?

this is true haha. for some reason i was convinced i'd read it somewhere and thought it explained him knowing her but her not recognising him.

lol @ me thinking they met through video games and not a party. Maybe because it's Gu Man?

I paused watching at the end of ep18 to let more episodes come out. I like the show, but it's too slow burn to watch one ep at a time. Now that 24 is out, is it a good time to start watching again, or should I hold off longer?

Episode 18: I stand by what I said on episode 1, the cousin is a cutey patootie. What a mature and likeable kid.

is he wearing a wig? do you wear wigs?

The one time I'm fine with a boss ML asking out employee FL... she owns half the company anyway, so there's no uncomfortable power dynamics at play

haha! true

I think Zhuang Xu wanted to believe Nu Xi Guang purposefully sabotaged Ye Rong. It's why he's such a hater, so quick to put her down and call her lazy. She's actually a nice, likeable person who's just not super ambitious, but he needs to drag her down so he can feel superior. If she couldn't prove her innocence, he might have been more likely to ask her out, as long as she begged for forgiveness.
