Wedding and site sabotage

What a beautiful wedding.🥰🥳 The combined traditional and western traditions absolutely beautiful. This made up for a lot of crap misunderstandings. The writer cheated with her saying if he’d said that at new year’s it would have all been avoided. I think it all could have been avoided anyways.😝 Kai’s confession to YaEn. 🥰❤️ She had no clue the impact that alley incident had on him. Ye Meng has tried to explain and wants her to consider Kai. Kai has done the best he can to make it clear to her. YaEn is such a warrior that for her it was just another day righting wrongs. She still struggles with Kai’s affections being shifted her way. She doesn’t understand yet that she is the only one he has ever had affection for. That borrowed name tag caused him to give credit to wrong girl, and she left before he could find out differently. There is a very sweet story here that I hope completes in this drama. For our leads, there did not need to be that much conflict just to get them married. And again they don’t even get 24 hours before next crisis. Evil mom has had materials swapped or knows who did and she has brought rich bitch Lin girl in the mix who is deceived she is offering help. They don’t know about his wedding so they are sure to cause real mischief. Zhou Yu is another pain in the ass because he holds grudges. He is right to be angry but never took the time to see if honorable people took over. At least there is evidence that things were done correctly, but that horrid mother is going to put him through the wringer first. If she thinks that will assist with her ma in law in any way she will find out she has caused a greater rift on that front. Translations moving soooo slowly so can’t find out what they did yet. It will feel like a very long wait.😝

Childhood memories

Gma decides to go for the surgery and her family isn’t happy about her choice. Jin Yu stands by her decision. His mom visited. They had words and she reminds gma who her real grandson is and how her son died. Gma angrily tossed her out of the room. What was surprising was the fact that stone cold hateful mother had true affection for her. She wants her mother in law to have that affection for her grandson by blood. There is true sadness that Gma envelops the son she hates and ignores the son she loves. We get more backstory in this episode. Jin Yu has so much guilt that he was driving and that stepdad died saving him. His mother never let him forget he killed her husband and made his life hell at every opportunity. He had given up and was trying to take his life when that little old woman literally dragged him out of the pool and saved him. She took him to her home where he was quiet and distrustful. He found her packing his clothes so he left. She chased him down and clobbered him. She had a house built for him so he would know he always had a home. 😭🥰 They have been inseparable ever since. He cares for her like a son and she loves him like a son. She decides before surgery she wants to eat the food of her childhood and takes Ye Meng and Jin Yu to her childhood home. They spend a lot of time picking tea leaves and she cooks her favorite childhood foods. Jin Yu is most honest saying he could cook her a better meal, but the women declare it a feast. Later, both of them on phone looking for takeout😂Jin Yu cooks for them and leaves them to their late night snacking.😂 There is a poignant scene where he comes across his gma’s diary and reads it. She is wanting to live long enough to see them married. It records her time with him good and bad and is a declaration of love. So…he decides to fulfill her wish and have a wedding for Ye Meng. She pretends to be annoyed he read her diary and agrees to keep Ye Meng occupied while he gets everything ready. She comes home to find family and friends gathered in a beautifully arranged wedding venue. What is remarkable are the Gma’s hovering over Ye Meng’s baby pictures and her gma promising to fill her a book of them together. They are chatting over makeup and acting like best friends. The wall between their homes will be torn down and one happy family residence. This episode, the leads feel like a couple, enveloping their family and being enveloped by them. Accepting each other for who they are rather than who they wished they were. It is a slice of life where the unconditional love of family shines through. For all my unhappiness with how writer has written the leads’ roles, this time, they did it right, and it was beautifully done. Thank you ❤️
