Douban:
"I'm really grateful to him for playing Yao Zhiming, and he is a good match with Zimei! I haven't hit the CP for a long time! After the Sauvignon Blanc, this pair of CP made me go up!"
"Xu Kai is very sincere, and he treats performances and opponent actors very carefully"
"Every time he interviews, he is very informative and understands the characters
"soso is so exquisite"
"To be honest, it's the first time I've watched Xu Kai act. I haven't seen a single episode of "Yanxi Raiders". also got his acting skills in "Cheng Huan Ji", and I feel that he still understands the role. His eyes and body language towards Mai Chenghuan are all slowly progressing, with a sense of transformation and layering. The only downside is that Mandarin still needs to be strengthened. I just don't know how he behaved in other dramas, and he has the opportunity to go back to trial."

I'm really curious about what kind of person Grandpa Mak is
Grandma and Grandpa Mai's sunset love is also a soul mate, it's quite unimaginable

I'm also curious, I feel that grandma is financially independent and doesn't need to rely on anyone at all, she has experienced a failed marriage, it's not strange to have a lover or lover, but she will be very picky about her spouse, and it is generally difficult to enter marriage again, I am curious about what characteristics of Lao Mai attracted her, so that she was willing to step into marriage again, and it was still a marriage that was not accepted by people around her, including Lao Mai's own son
must be an excellent person, otherwise he can't let such a good grandmother take a fancy to him. Gentle, considerate and kind
And how did Grandpa Mai cultivate Daddy Mai, Daddy Mai wouldn't have a strong mother, generally a strong mother would have a weak son, so he was used to being controlled by Liu Wanyu
I feel that the screenwriter didn't think about how to ink, but fortunately, it was left blank to give everyone room for imagination. Because if grandpa is a special cow, the conditions of the Mai family are not established, how can grandpa and grandma take a fancy to him, so fortunately, it is the sunset love of the elderly, and it may make sense to throw away the identity and money and only look at the personality
It must be a warm and powerful grandfather
Although Daddy Mai is weak and incompetent and bullied (), he is also a very good person in a sense, so you can imagine Grandpa Mak

Douban:
Is there anyone who watched Xu Kai's drama for the first time like me?
Even before that, I refused to watch his dramas 😂 for several years

To add one of my favorite lines so far, Cheng Huan called him to ask him about the watch, and he said that while you are thinking about marrying into a wealthy family, you have to pose at the same time, just like you, you will suffer in the future, why are you so spoiled 🥰

Here's how I got started (watching XK):

And I think his lines are too amazing, magnetic, and bassy, with a kind of Hong Kong Pu feeling, and it is not inconsistent to be a narrator

Douban:
Can Mak Chenghuan become Yao Zhiming's salvation
After watching today's two episodes, I can't calm down for a long time.
An unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.
The person who knows Yao Zhiming in the world has gone, only grandma knows that Yao Zhiming is still a child who is suffering and full of holes in his heart. Judging from the distribution of grandma's inheritance, she wants the Mai family, who loves each other, and the warm and powerful Chenghuan to give Yao Zhiming family affection in the future, make up for the deep trauma in his heart, and enrich his emotional world. But this is just the ideal state of grandma, can things go as they wish?

At present, it seems that Mai Chenghuan still has a lot of misunderstandings about Yao Zhiming. Mama Mai's personality doesn't know if she can really tolerate and accept Yao Zhiming. At the same time, Yao Zhiming is also faced with using means to complete his promotion and helping Cheng Huan fulfill his grandmother's last wish, two completely different choices related to human nature. Judging from the preview, Yao Zhiming still chose to help Mak Chenghuan run the hotel.

It's more of a big gamble. I remember watching a movie, at the end, Louis Koo said to Gao Yuanyuan, "Goodbye, I'm going back to Earth" (I forgot the name of the movie, this sentence implies that Louis Koo's pursuit of true love failed, and he began to play the world again). Therefore, of course, I don't want Yao Zhiming, who has nothing and gives it a go, to lose and lose everything. Then he would be really pitiful.

This choice is undoubtedly a kind of transformation from rebirth and cocooning into a butterfly, and it is also a complete farewell to the past. Say goodbye to the delicate self-interested, interest-oriented, and consequential Yao Zhiming, and try to embrace a humane, emotional, and people-oriented Yao Zhiming.

Yao Zhiming tried to use a piece of sincerity that he had never paid, an emotion that had never been satisfied, and a heart that had already been hurt by his childhood, to carefully take the initiative to approach Mai Chenghuan, who had grown up watered by love, in exchange for a little response and attention from Mai Chenghuan.

Yao Zhiming has already been moved by Mai Chenghuan and has taken the most difficult first step. It's even a bit flattering. But I don't know if Chenghuan will be good to Zhiming, and whether he can make up for the gap in Yao Zhiming's heart.

Yes, love Zhiming, love every inner child who has been hurt by the original family and has never grown up.

I also look forward to Chenghuan, who is as warm as a sunflower, to heal Yao Zhiming's injured inner child.

here's another interesting view
"I also think that grandma's plan to give Mai Chenghuan was originally planned, because the appearance of Zhang let her know that giving Chenghuan directly is not so much a windfall as a disaster, and whether she can keep it or not is a problem, so it was temporarily changed to a law firm for ten years, and then handed over to her after ten years"

I read on Douban that XK said when they were at the apartment, the scene where he is sitting on the beautiful white sofa with a mug in his hands and her back is to him fixing a light bulb.

rich on paper, but she cannot sell the hotel, eventually YZM will work out a good transaction for her, she cannot do that. I'm sure YZM will have to battle wits with Zhang. The property is strategic location; otherwise why is Yueda Group so aggressive about getting it.

ML had resentment toward grandma growing up. He was left all alone to fend for himself at a young age. I do not believe he came back of his own accord but to repay a debt to Zhang who also said if you can do this, I'll promote you too. But the real reason was Zhang. Grandma said YZM is not bad by nature. So, I do not believe he would have done this to grandma on his own. The promotion is for Zhang, but Zhang said I'll also put in a good word for you. I'm not sure when he released his resentment toward her but that's why he never returned but he did keep in touch with her by letter over the years. But they are not close at all, they started to bond in the 2 months he was back; unfortunately, she passed away so soon.
He would have continued to pursue grandma, but she took ill and decided to stop.
He needs to repay his debt.

did you noticed that grandma only cried when she spoke to YZM in her taped funeral address, because he was the most miserable one, she felt so sorry for him?

i feel it slowed down because the plot has changed but i'm sure it build back up in couple of episdoes. I was riding the grandma cloud and then had to get off

Yao mother died in a car accident on the way to her boyfriends He must have been around 10 or 12? His dad is alive, just got out of prison, and now grandma has requested him to go visit the despicable man he has disowned as his father. No idea how long father was in prison, but Yao really was without any adults. He had to take care of himself since he was a kid.
Yao never visited his grandma since he went abroad and he's over 30 now, He said he hadn't visited grandma for number of years but sounds like he might have visited once or twice long time ago. The reason was he resented grandma for a long time for not controlling her son (Yao's dad)
Yao understands grandma's good intentions through her letter and her words to him before, but he doesn't understand why?

grandma can do whatever she wants it's her property incl. that house that she prob. got through her divorce settlement with YZM grandfather. But however, you look at it, and of course rightly so, but MCH is the favored one, she is partial to her and wants to help her and feels YZM doesn't need her help anymore. but the drama gave this tragic story of YZM and then gave prob. 5 min so far in the entire drama. I feel sorry for this poor guy even though I know grandma good intentions are prob. the right thing to do. I just wish the drama would have given just a little more revealing details so I can understand grandson and grandma better. Now if grandma gave the house to the Mai, then I would say that is totally unfair even though it is her right to do so because that house had belonged to YZM grandfather, I feel the drama is also lacking in revealing some background about the parents' difficulties in the past, it would help me to better understand them. But YZM face shows that after he read the letter, he still gently caressed his grandma's picture, and he now loves her despite what she did to him, creating a very difficult situation for him. I don't think YZM is the one seeking the hotel, he needs to repay a serious debt to an evil woman who saved his life when no one else helped him. Of course, there is added benefit she says she'll help him get promoted, but I believe as grandmas said YZM is not bad by nature, YZM if not for Zhang, probably never return for the hotel, because he still felt resentment. I believe he was forced into this and since he doesn't have emotional bond with grandma, he had no problem doing it for Zhang. I dislike this evil Zhang person who I feel killed grandma, triggered her heart to fail. At the funeral, grandma only cried when speaking to YZM, she broke down. That means to me, there is something so deep seated between grandson and grandma not revealed in the drama. It's not normal to walk out in the middle of a funeral or for grandma to start crying in the middle of sentence unless there is something been holding onto and then trigger it, but we 're left guessing as the drama didn't reveal much about their tensions in the past.

i love the mother act!

this mother is so typical chinese woman! gossiping and bragging, bossing her husband,

the brother 's relationship has more in-depth interactions than the fl and ml
I was watching this poor Chinese struggling family I thought how real, now they're rich people.
I feel like I'm watching another drama and wait again to build back up the plot of the mother daughter conflicts that was never resolved

like I said the grandma is partial to MCH. When YZM asked grandma if she might be partial, she said no, I like you both, but she's not perfect, she can't see that she is partial

No character in this drama is interested in YZM past. Even the FL has not shown an interest.
Why does the drama bother to provide this information about him and spread out between many episodes? Grandma is dead. Why do they have to tell us about his dad and mom later?

she won't be able to deal with Zhang, not without his help.
basically, she's been learning from YZM since the day she ran into him in the elevator.
He's been in the shadows helping her

grandma told MCH that her independence will become her weakness.
independence can lead one to arrogance, thinking you are so good, you don't' need any help

people who are determined, hardworking, smart, talented, ambitious, and most of all passionate about what they do. they will find a way.

grandma never ran the hotel as profit entity. She ran it as a way to support her friends who are also family too her. grandma really did not run a business.
the hotel was passed down to her is my guess from her family.
Eventually the FL will go into wedding business to make profits.
I can see her friend can also sell jewelry for weddings.
not a bad idea actually. If they want to keep the hotel independent, wedding business is perfect. ML works for a big multinational hotel management corporation that manages and develops. His corporation's values, principles, vision, and mission are not aligned with an independently run hotel. Once merged, lose independence. But YZM had assured grandma he would do everything possible. As good as the offer is to shore up the hotel which is crumbing, and losing money, she doesn't' want to give it over. This is actually typical battle between small private company being gobbled up by big corporation.
