He Mei is one of the confusing characters...aaah (still dislike her nonetheless)Her words are so hurtful and whenever…
Chen Ting (Ling Xiao's mom) has a mental breakdown and is in depression. All her nasty actions can be explained by the medical conditions that she's suffering. If you have lived with someone with depression, you'd understand. This drama really brings out this dark side of the disease so realistically.
He Mei (Ziqiu's mom) is a single mother who is not at all a bad person, but has come from a poor rural family whose mother doesn't value girls (as in many Chinese families especially in the rural areas). She wants to take care of her family but has no earning ability and no education. She does love Ziqiu a lot as shown in Ziqiu early life. I believe she marries a wealthy husband who doesn't know about Ziqiu's existence so she can't come forward to take Ziqiu back without jeopardizing her marriage. You would understand if you have met an unmarried teenage mother. All her actions are just as realistic. The only thing we don't know now is what happens to her marriage. Is her husband still alive or dead or divorced? Why has she hurt Ziqiu like that with her cold and hurtful words? She didn't need to. Let's follow today's episodes and see what exactly has happened :D
He will be. He will find his true love. Don't worry.
As it is, I don't think it will happen; their paths have not crossed at all for Ziqiu and Tan Can. Whereas with Mingyue, she fancies him in high school. Then she's seen him naked. Now, the time is ripe; they just need a spark :D
We can see how Ziqiu and Ling Xiao handle their pains very differently.
When Ziqiu is rejected by his mother a second time, he cries, goes home, hides under his comforter, eats a chocolate holding Jianjian's hand for the whole night, the next morning, he comes out bouncing again in that killer look. On the other hand, Ling Xiao keeps everything to himself. He doesn't talk about his pain. He hides it. He becomes depressed, anxious and sleepless. He needs Jianjian more than Ziqiu does. Only Jianjian can bring him out from his darkness and the writers have already told us so: Jianjian takes him out for a run and he feels much better.
Yh honestly I would be happy with either one of them, just wish they don't have ugly fights over it
In today's world of social media, yeah, I guess no girls fall in love with boys that they grow up with and living in the same households. But in the old days, and still today in some parts of the world, it does happen commonly. Especially in China where match making is common, those 'aunties' would also try to get the kids together so that they are secured within the families and not 'wasted' out there. Many people do find old shoes more comfortable than new ones :)
he ziqiu lacked a real family for the longest time because he was just a "foster" kid like all the old people…
Right! Husband dies and she comes back to Li Ba so that she can provide a complete family for Zi Qiu. Then at this point, maybe the husband not dead yet, otherwise, I don't understand why she's so heartless towards Zi Qiu and says those hurtful words. If the husband doesn't know the existence of Zi Qiu and she doesn't want to jeopardize her marriage, then I can understand why she doesn't look Zi Qiu up. But if the husband is dead at this point, she still doesn't come forward until he seeks her out, that's really painful.
Does anyone have the spotify playlist for the OST ? I love all of them :( the opening ost makes me sadd
Yes, I love the OSTs and I cry listening to every one of them. The lyrics are so touching. Here's the link to the Spotify album: album/71ycnsCtErHHy5LhhWxrpH Not sure if this would work. Let me know.
