Everything you say about the middle children spots on the Ziqiu character. You'll see how he develops when the story unfolds. Steven is good and adorable. Makes me cry a lot too.

You're so right because everyone reacts differently. I bet you're not that clinging on to your brother nor sleeping with him on the same bed either. Jianjian is very different. She's inseparable from her brothers. They do everything together (I bet they may have even bathed together when they were little - it's very common in East Asia for kids to bath together). I can understand why Jianjian so attached to her brothers - she lost her mother and she was almost alone with her father. So when the brothers came into her life, they became her world.

Pretty sure he does. Don't worry. He's resilient; he's a fighter.

Doesn't Mingyue's mom remind you of your own parents or relatives? She does to me. Many seemingly harmless remarks can be very hurtful. Some meant-well remarks are even worse. The tone and the insinuation of everything we say is so important. That's why this drama is so good because many people can relate to it so well.

She was devastated when they left 9 years ago without consulting with her their decisions. They just left. She was very broken. Then she had an epiphany: they're not real brothers and sister. The brothers are going to grow up and one day married with their own families. Sooner or later they would be gone. So to protect herself from heartaches and disappointment again, she chooses to alienate them. But understandably, the brothers try to make up to her when they return. She tries to keep them at a distance but they keep popping up everywhere, so much so that she gets annoyed and scolds them. To me, this is very relatable, because when one tries to put up a wall, and fearing the wall may crumble, that's the reaction one would exhibit. What do you think?

Don't worry about the tears. Many of us cry in almost every episode XD. The writers are really good in catching our tears.

Yes, it looks like there'll be three pairs: Jianjian/Ling Xiao, Ziqiu/Mingyue and Tang Can/gorilla (forgot his name). It's going to be fun - six youngsters living in proximity to each other. There'd be a lot of spying, stalking and fun stuff. Can't wait!

Tang Can's acting career fell through. So now she's only doing some odd jobs here and there, hardly making ends meet and Jianjian has been subsidizing her. Occasionally she gets calls to pretend (act) as anything. The example here shown that she was commissioned to act as a child's mother for the school. Some schools, especially those very hard-to-get-in type scrutinize the background of the children. If a parent is divorced or something, they would not admit the child. So Tang Can fills in as the parent of that kid to cheat the school.

It's ok, at least this is better than what we fear earlier - Zi Qiu likes Jianjian who likes Ling Xiao who likes Jianjian. As long as the trio is intact, I'm ok with everything else :)

Oh Boy! What's happening now? I'm so behind in this drama. Need some catching up this weekend.

... and we're almost half way through.

IKR! His legs are really long.

It's always been there subtly. As of Episode 19, it's slowly building up.

It is in the Chinese culture to address people they meet as kindred, eg. for men of their fathers' age, uncles; for women of their mothers' age, aunties; and for people of their own age, brothers or sisters. In this case, the brother/sister relationship is deeper than the casual usage of the terms. At the same time, there's nothing preventing them to have romantic/marital relationship; it's all up to the individuals how they feel about each other, and should not be considered as incestuous.

Episode 19. The trio is back. Now she looks more like a big sister than a little sister.

No need to choose. All ends well :D Enjoy!

Oh Boy! What's happening now? I'm so behind in this drama. Need some catching up this weekend.

I don't think there'd be a love triangle with the 3 'siblings'. There could be triangles with best friend and admirers, though these are likely one-sided.

So true. Indeed Song Weilong has a very good looking face, and he has a big fan base (mostly moms :D).

I hope she doesn't come back to mess up Li Ba's life. I like it as it is, his bromance relationship with Ling Ba, and the kids have 2 fathers.
