I also think if it wasn't for all the interruptions, QY would've come to love him eventually if they'd ended up together. She obviously cared very deeply for him but once she ended things with him, his feelings were no longer her concern or responsibility. QX is a good man even if he is weak, and he deserves only good things, but QY would have been an excellent match for him and made him happy if they had been allowed to live their lives.

They also spent a lot of time together during the investigation and then wrote to each other a lot when she was grounded. People have become obsessed for much less so I can understand him. Because we don't really get a clear picture of the passage of time, it's hard to say how long it's been since they met, but it was practically love at first sight for him and then it just kept going from there.

The way they couldn't stop laughing, I believe it was all them and not in the script at all lol

Funny how the other horrid cousins got character development and the writer was like, "Qiu Min? R**e." It's a tired trope and what's worse is that it only made her worse somehow? I knew it was coming but I'm still pissed it happened. I've been on my knees begging for QM to grow a backbone and stop being so problematic, but instead this is what we've been given. It would've been so much better if she'd just become a stronger and better person through the fall of the family and death of her mother and then won Qin Xuan over like that. I've been frustrated with her character since the start of the drama and I don't think even her death could make me like her now.

As for Qiu Yan and Liang Yi, finally they worked together to actually get out of the brothel (too bad QM ruined everything as usual). I'm really enjoying all their scenes together and the way their wits keep saving their necks. I lol'd when he brought her out in broad daylight and called her a different name. Like , is it that easy? 😂 Things will only get more interesting now that she's going to be playing the role of his concubine and I cannot wait to see the downfall of Yuan Lang.

This feels like the 3rd drama in a row that I've seen recently that features strong female friendships but one of them has a terminal illness and dies. It's incredibly depressing and I'm quite tired of it. Why can't they just let these women live past a certain age without throwing heartbreaking tragedies at them?

I like all 3 women a lot and their different personalities so I'm excited to see the rest of it but also disappointed at the tragic start to the show.

I'm really enjoying the major conflicts and the business politics but for some reason I have zero interest in any of the side characters and their stories. CKY and XHX are fascinating to me but my favourite character is Qin Min. In general, the women are great, the men are forgettable, and I wish someone would slap Lu Bin Bin at least once every day cos he is the worst kind of slime.

I think this show is underrated and I hope it gets more attention eventually.

9 times out of 10 these emperors are always insecure, paranoid, and incompetent and then wonder why the empire is falling apart. He didn't even make Yuan Lang prove himself or anything. Just brought him back and then let him ruin one of the most loyal and families in the court.

I really need Qiu Min to stop being a damsel in distress especially when everyone is in the same sinking boat. Life is harsh and this is the time for her to finally step up and act like she's not going to be a burden for the rest of her life. I saw a spoiler in a comment here that I hope is a misinterpretation cos it's a tired trope, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if it happens considering the foreshadowing that already took place when they arrived at the brothel.

Once again, I was glad to see Qiu Yan and Liang Yi working together but her impulsiveness keeps making things more difficult than they need to be. Also, can someone please kick Yuan Lang off a cliff or something? He already ruined the entire family but that's not enough for him. Imagine having your whole personality be "making sure Liang Yi isn't happy". What an absolute d***h**d.

The way she kept jumping from accusing the grandmother to the aunt to her father in the span of mere moments was annoying. Even Liang Yi wanted her to pause and think but she wouldn't listen. They do match each other's personalities beautifully, and I wonder if that gold handcuff will cause problems soon.

Qiu Yan has disappointed me in these last 2 episodes cos she hasn't been using her brain like she normally would. I know that it's mostly grief, but I couldn't help feeling let down. I wonder what's going to happen next cos if her father admits to the frame up job, then they're completely doomed. I also don't see grandma making it out of this alive but we'll see.

Liang Yi is doing his darndest to distance himself from them so that snake will stop pushing but I think it's too late now. That guy has to see this through to the end or die trying.

Nah, the senior was the one who dragged him into it by trying to explain and then telling a lie that could easily be proven to be a lie. Plus, he was going to get reported anyway since Seunghyun wasn't the only one that saw it.

I think that character is just misguided. She's doing things that are objectively not bad (maybe even right), but her methods are questionable at best. I also feel like the detective from her past has manipulated her into not trusting anyone but him and that's contributed to how she is now. I don't see her as a villain at all. The detective may be good but he's using her as a tool for his own revenge and that's just wrong.

From the trailer it looks like the wedding won't happen because of yet another scandal, so I guess we (me & ML) don't have to worry about ML having an affair with his sister in law lol.

I really like Qiu Yan for many reasons, but especially cos she doesn't succumb to emotional blackmail like most FLs. I'm enjoying this show so far, and I hope it stays this good.

I find that ridiculous as well cos weren't they trying to set her up with someone a few episodes ago? They want her to get married and have kids but not THESE kids and THIS man? She's about to be 30 and then they'll start going on about how she's turning into an old spinster and disappointing her family. Their excuses are so tiresome.

Totally agree with the product placement in ep 5 being way too much lol. But for the couples... I don't think Dome & Vee don't understand their feelings, cos if they didn't they wouldn't have had the conversation about stopping and going back to how they were. It's more that Dome is dating Vee's sister, not that they don't know how they feel.

Also, Fah and Thorn are really just trying to reconnect and get to know each other again after drifting so far apart and dealing with the basketball scandal. Fah even seems to have accepted that he likes Thorn so now he's probably going to explore that carefully, like with any new relationship.

As for Saen and Aii, they're the lighthearted, cute couple of the show for me. I think Saen has been so focused on schoolwork that he's never really had to deal with liking anyone or having someone really like him before, and he's not running away from it.

I haven't really gotten any internalized homophobia vibes from any of them because their problems haven't been tied to 'liking a boy and what that means', but rather to their individual personalities and relationships. They don't seem to have problems with boys liking boys, there are just other things going on.

This was so frustrating to watch. I didn't like the way they sent that poor child off to live with actual unstable strangers for a week on the recommendation of some unprofessional social worker. That woman should've been fired for what she did. Not only is it putting Butr in harm's way, but she had no right to hunt down his birth mother and force a reunion. Especially when said birth mother was just mourning the loss of another child. If I was Yuke or Phoon, I wouldn't rest until she lost her job because she'll do the same thing to another family down the line.

As for Phoon though, my goodness was it upsetting to watch him just give up. I needed him to stand his ground as Butr's legal parent and as Yuke's partner and I was so sad when he really let Butr go and was so cold and harsh to him for being a curious child. Yuke tried to fight but I understood him letting go once he realized he was in it on his own.

It's not a bad movie, but it's so frustrating to watch.

I took a break during the amnesia plot but things only seem to have gone further off the rails since then. Also, the irony of Ms Wang's whole position is that if she wasn't such an insecure, snobbish POS, Se Ryeon would've married Dae Bum and gotten those shares a long time ago.

I really want DD and YG to also kneel down when her father comes kneeling asking them to break up. Then they can have a "stand off" and see who gives in first 😂😂😂 who says Soo Chul is the only one allowed to kneel?

I laughed so hard when SC crashed and the only reason I didn't wish him dead was cos that would just be another thing weighing on DD.

The part about the doctor really eats at me, cos I don't think we ever actually got any remorse from him about his role in all of it.

So the doctor got to keep practicing medicine until he left with Elise? That's so disappointing.

The end was really odd (singing and dancing?) but I'm glad it's over and I'm glad I watched it. I really enjoyed all the food and the lead couple once JQF stopped being so mean to Ke Song. My favourite characters were Ke Song, Uncle Lin and Ke Song's parents.

It's a fun watch and I think it's better to binge so everyone seeing it now that all the episodes are out will probably like it more.
