Well, that went from icky to gross to COMPLETELY UNHINGED NIGHTMARE FUEL in one episode. Her family is worse than…
We literally had zero news of Qiqi until then and suddenly everything moves SO FAST 😳 And poor Qiqi looks soooooo traumatized while the girl just continues her happy-go-lucky life 😭 Poor guy, really.
It does get better; she did repent towards the end.
Yes, I realized how much we want people we like to be perfect. We can't stand their faults when we see them. I think this drama is bringing me back to reality. I feel like Simei, living in my perfect, fantastical world and suddenly being shocked with reality 😂
I wonder what the Chinese audience reception of this drama is. I just found out Zhou Shen(Charlie Zhou) sang the theme song, so it must be quite a high-profile drama... He's sung theme songs for Love and Redemption, Skate into Love, The Song of Glory, The Long Ballad and The Sword and the Brocade and has been praised as one of the most renowned Chinese singers in recent years.

You hit it spot on! Jackpot! 😂 But her conversation with Sanli(the last time we see her alive) is AMAZINGLY done. I loved the power, intensity, and raw portrayal of emotions. Sanli really goes all out on her, and you're able to understand Yiding a little better. The actors really are top notch. I was moved to tears.
I agree with you. It's interesting that the siblings eat together (sometimes with their dad) but their partners…
I guess we're going to see a very realistic portrayal of what it's like for a guy from a poor family to get married into a rich family... I'm fastening my seatbelt or I might get dizzy like last time 😳
I'm liking it so far (ep2) but what's up with the cheesy directing? The over-the-top close ups and shouting names…
This is a genre very typical of kdramas. Most recent kdramas have become more sophisticated, but this one has a certain old-kdrama charm. Everything is over-the-top and made for comedy. You have to take everything with a grain of salt and not think too much.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I haven't laughed so much in a very long time 😂
WHY does everyone except Sanli get married so quickly??!! DATE A LITTLE! If y'all don't want to date, at least keep a nice, large space between the engagement and wedding! They act like they date each other, but when they get married, they don't know the simplest things about their partners! SImei rushes off and tries to marry a guy who doesn't even seem to LIKE her.
I wish Erqiang dated Master Ma for some time. Their family is cute but it's kinda awkward, with him still calling her "Master" and I can't seem to see love for Erqiang as a man in Master Ma's eyes. She still seems to be talking to her intern/the sweet guy who is nice to her. They don't feel "married". I don't know how to explain it.
Yicheng still has that inferiority complex with Nanfang. I wish they had sorted it out at least a little before getting married. The siblings always accept his partners just because they're his partners. They're cordial, not familiar with these women.
Yiding used to help around the house and eat with the family, go to the movies, discuss things, work with Sanli, tell her everything, and give gifts to the Qiaos as a couple before he married Sanli. The entire family got familiar with him, listened to him and accepted him as a brother in the family before he got married. If anything happened with Sanli, the siblings had no problem calling him. Even when they broke up, no one stopped him from visiting during the New Year, and he was warmly welcomed even by their nasty father. They seemed to have a more normal progression to marriage.
I just don't know what to make of Simei anymore. It is as if she is stuck between a girl and womanhood. What I…
If they hadn't given us such a peaceful Episode 28, I really would have destroyed my laptop screen. I'm sure Simei knows Chenggang is complete trash. I can see that she's just desperately trying to make herself believe everything is all right. She's built her castles in the air and she just doesn't want to see it all come crashing down. I feel so bad for her daughter.
Even Chenggang— that shameless jackass— doesn't seem to be fully grown up. The jerk isn't like other cheaters we've seen in most dramas. He doesn't have that sinister, evil, professional-cheater air. It's like he cares about Simei but he's still a spoilt, cowardly baby who doesn't take responsibility for anything he does and lets his desires get the better of him. They both act like children.
That scene where Erqiang also picks up a knife and says "LET'S GO TO JAIL TOGETHER!" 😂 My heart suddenly warmed. But I'm glad Yiding isn't a totally subdued guy... Yicheng and Erqiang would have ended up in jail if no one stopped them. They seemed to forget that they had wives and families who would be affected by their rash actions. Who else is there to yell "IS IT WORTH IT? GIVE ME THE KNIFE!" and knock some sense into them? Their coward father cowering behind everyone was so funny. I've moved on from hating the dad... he's just a big fat selfish joke to me now. Funny how I used to think he was the worst specimen of humanity when I started out on this drama 😳 And now I've been traumatized by the whole host of evil trash.
I feel like his lack of confidence is going to destroy all his relationship with his family he can do anything…
I completely agree with you. Nanfang seems to be a wonderful human. I hope Yicheng is able to let go of his inferiority and just embrace the two families.
