You guys are so funny. Yes i slmost scream daddy xia please kick him out. N he obviously doesn't know much about his dsughter personal life. He loves xc n her mother but looks like he is too busy. I really hope zr will show his agenda soon. I don think he can hide much though cause old boss is pushing him to settle. Wonder what would be the trigger. To take action n show his trie colour. I don think i can stand him for more than 5 epidodes esp w that recorder around. I think he sees muze as the person who makes him lost his father n his own life n xc along the way.. Now xc is obviously getting closer to muze. Its likr muze takes evetything that belongs to him

@themarchioness he is snake n the way he act pitiful m sorry in front of xc n mg. N he played w the gals. N turn around in front of muze his evilness n deadly stare is obvious n say things like how u think u can protect her 24 hours while u in the camp. That really try to aggravate muze. In front of xc parents he is all acting. N says muze is emotionally unstable in front of xc dad. Love how muze just stare at him n all focus wo a care of who is around n tell him to back off. Wooof i really go jelly haha... @abs-oluteM i m surprised she is a 30 plus acting like a puppy begging for zr attention. N no sense at all because she knows his history n she only interact a few times w him. Why she is acting like a heartbreak school gal. I just don get it. Actually xc obviously is already over zr. She told muze n mg that zr is a part of her youth, teenage years. Like how she would remember the good looking boys on basketball courts. Those first crush that u will cherish but u don need to hv it back. She also express that in comparison of a guy who knows what u like n dislike, she treasure promise n trust more. She told muze she just have a part of xr as her habit like detective novels. I thought that is mature she is clear about it. But she just want to trust all her friends. That is too damgerous in her case n muze knows it.

I like both leads in yamh. But somehow when they r put tigether i feel a little odd. Maybe mika looks older than xkl. I mean he looks cutish n fair while she is rather unkempt w that hairstyle. Guess they din makes my heart goes thumpinhlg. Haha Yes i hv never really watch any if his drama. But his portrayal of LMZ is really good. Hope the show has a good ending. Heard the book is a good ending w them married n have a son. The ending songs have a scene his parents crying, she did heart resusitation on him n her sitting there crying worries me. Lol. Yes two ep. I find it too slow though esp ep 13 n 14 is more on the case n actions n i think coming ep too. I mean it is so nice the combat. But i need more sugar from our lead. So far from calender iin my dramalist there is no flash release. So it will be no binge watching unless i kiv till few more weeks. Sigh. The cousin screeching is so annoying n i can feel my ears ringing every time i think of her.

Anyone watching moonlight. Esther yu n ryan ding. Love that cp. So hilarious n joy to watch. No angst at all. Yet interesting story n good conversation. Esther yu is really the cutest fl yet her character is so smart n strong.

Zzh... Omg.... Yes i would love this.

Please find that damn recorder asap. So unsettling to watch it. Yes creepy. I felt she is very confused. She did tell him it is not about being angry at him..she already know who did it. She needs to think. Her best friend changes her med n she was instructed by her ex. N she almost cause harm to muze. I guess it is rather hard to digest. But I agree she is not calm. Her action in isaiah, her ordering flowers for the kid, her wanting to move out, her rushing to the make shift dam. N now her choice to trust zr is making Xc too naive to point of immature. Agree. But i think XC met zr when she was 18. That makes her most 26..while lmz was already a soldier 8 years ago n including schooling training n his buddy being married n almost becoming a father, lmz n his buddy must be 23 to 24 at that time. So he would be 30 to 32 at least n with msny many mission n International trainings must his belt. So maybe it is meant to be he is a more mature character. I guess.

They felt very couple d in ep 11. Ep 12 he send her to work n was about to pick her up from work. Love that cat. So cute. Da miao n er miao. She called him braised egg too. Lu tan. So sweet. When do u ladies think he has fallen for her? Ep 9 when he says he will never ley himself miss n regret. He was looking intensely at her. The air was literally sizzling. Haha.. Great chemistry.

Hehe looks like u ladies following MDG too eh... Hi everyone. I m really loving this. Both leads have sizzling chemistry esp ep 9, 10 n 11. Love love all their scenes together. Wish there is more. I think he really likes her already even in episode 5. When he send her to the airport. Don u ladies just love how natural he asked her if she has enough money. I never watched Johnny but I think he nails the LMZ characters. Stern, quiet, discipline military man (his low steady voice suits the character) yet kind but with a chauvinist streak (the way he order her around yet cares a lot about her n his comrade family) haha... N boy he is so well built. I m famgirling. Not the overly bulky gymer which can stocky but tall n has enough bulk yet deft n slith. N his eyes really express his care for her. Li qin is really pretty n bubbly.. She looks luke bai lu here. At first i find her too loud/noisy esp muze is do quiet but i m getting use to it. But I seriously hope the script doesnt make her into a stupidly naive gal that put ppl at harm. For now I love this couple more than YAMH. Don throw me rotten tomatos. Hehe... But for now i m clenching my teeth over MiGu n ZR. Zr no doubt the antagonist but Mg goodness i hv never see a woman in c drama that dizzy stupid. Changing ur friend medication n carrying that gun obviously planted ny ZR over a guy she bumped into st the airport. Aikkjsss... I hv to stop myself from ranting about her. N that eavesdropping really creep me up. On the cat now somemore. Both muze n xc loves that cat n it felt like a timebomb. Sooo disturbing. I just hope he hears how they fell in love. That would drive him crazy. Now he is using the mafia head to rid muze out of country. I really finds him creepy this ZR.

Honesty is the best policy... None of those women really want his love also. But at least they can be on friendly terms n be kind to one another. Not scheminh n plotting to harm him his family or themselves. I really like the interaction between him n wenniang last episode. Open commuincation n he offer her a family relationship n a choice. If he had done that with qin n tong, i m sure no such problems. Qiao he was honest but she jw wouldn't listen. Then its her problem d.

Her heartfelt pain when she said... So I m so lowly i don deserve to be a mother.. When HouYe explain why he gave fengching to 2nd sil. N she did acknowledge that Houye is a good man. N he just doesnt feel for her..

@Yanaplesse go ahead. I just don like the downpour of stresses. Not ngsty because couple is still loving n sweet. But their sweet moment so little n their hardship being framed, schemed is just kinda stressful for me. Esp in a short span of 38 to 45. Ya love romcom because they r just so sweet n impractical but goid for destressing haha. YAMH is very nice but again so many life n death n bloody scene, its stressful for me.

I pick up hello mr gu. Young ppl rom com w old trope but entertaining. I don need to use my brain much. Apparently the kisding scenes are like whole 3min haha.... I was really worried that i will find it hard to detached myself from sword n brocade but the last 9 episodes really makes me a little stress up n they have to give such a big plot at 43 44 n only do 3/4 of happy ending kinda makes me lost it a little. It is like a downpour of hardship in a short space. So i guess i can move on. Tbh i havent watch 43 44. I just find it too stressful. Will wait for weekend. I was gonna ask about the ladt scene. Why the moustache is gone. So it happen before or after the reunion dinner?

Nope you r not the only one. I was wondering for the whole night. N my conclusion is she fainted n the knife miss her haha... Then they came w the news. Its stupid i know. But the only conclusion i can make.

@panda-pophe is a kind person n so upright. He really doesn't hv to right his family wrong. He really doesn't deserve the punishment. It is not the best ending for him but it isn't worst. I m sure he still can in doing business anywhere he goes n maybe one day he will find hupo deserve his attention too.

Its good though they close everyone as well as possible.

Ikr. I was like yawn. The scriptwriter seriously need to quit this career. 3 x in a same show when any sane persons in love like them would hv burn it after the first round. No logic why shiyi keep it.. From stabbing incidebt to consummation, we know how much she loves houye. Why she still keep it baffles me. Its not a souvenir, for goodness sake.

Is ok... Slow n sweet. No need to rush... The last 9 episodes had kinda been stressful to watch. I m sure tonight 3 will not be so nice like the first 30 ish..

And this madame xu is really terrible. She basically don see value in concubines n their kids. Like yuge must be separated from chunge. Shu child is so much lowered thsn di child.. N she wants to get him more concubines to hv children which she doesnt think highly off. If something happen to houye, wuye will take over as next houye n his di son will be next heir. So what's this hoohaas of having having more kids by concubines. So make sense right???

U r so right. He is really a very very male chauvinistic man w his family n concubines. U know those... Qin not educated to raise a xu boy, send yuge away n just inform the birth mum, he was extremely uncommunicative w chunge, when he make up his mind of the persons say qiao, tong he just guve them cold shoulder... All quite mean i feel in a way.

So nice to read these comments n long postings. I watched up ep 42 n nice to see all these thoughts n recaps. I feel the same as well. I love the scene of he literally fall of the chair w her blowing hia chest. I m sure he flinch not from pain but from garnering whole his being from restraining himself. Poor guy.

@40somethingahjumma i really love the showdowns of all his concubines including yuanniang lsst moments n tong last moment as descibed ny amber. It shows us that they r all pitiful, how they all hv some heart desire but none r treated like a propee person. All took it upon themselves to solve their own prob n find their heart desire. N he finallly understood all of them but it is too late. They either died or make mistakes so grave that there is no return. That music when he spoke to qiao n qin, was so appropriate n grave. Very nice.

@AwkwarDerpwow that is so dramatic. But i totally can believe it. I still hv a workmate her first children are gals n she was stressed up to hv boys. Her husband younger brother hv 2 boys d. So the son of elder son concept is alive in year 2010ish... She was like what if i hv another gal. I always say to comfort her give me then... I love another daughter. In fact it happen to my 2 workmates. I had a uni mate. She have 4 girls. N end up hubby had an affair n in laws not happy w her. They finally divorce after the girls are much older. We r Malaysian chinese n we speak Chinese and/or chinese dialect at home. But mostly malay/English educated n yet this sort of mother in laws n family system are still in function today. My mum also hope my sister in law will hv a boy first then later girl. By the way my great grandma was a child bride, married as a child to another young boy to look after him like a nanny. N great grear grandma has a 3 inch feet. Bounded feet.

Now we r talking about fathers. How interesting!!! Actually houye wasnt projected as a good father at all to me. Way too strict w chunge n way too u concerning w yuge. Qin lost her baby, he tell her to get on w it. But i m not surprised esp he is traditional noble men. Kids are job of nanny n mother. Women stuffs. My dad is a very traditional man like what some of u mentioned. What is traditional??? ... He is very good at handking the outside world creating a shield for us. Meaning his business, work, protection to us. He is responsible man. He takes all the stress n hardship of providing for us. Like houye in the show. Mum had to quit her job when she marry him n had us. He wanted a full time wife!!! Take care of household, kids to the tilt. He wanted 3 meals homecook, clean squeaky home n healthy, well brought up kids. He says so loud n clear... Women need to look sfter home, a woman can cook is like a shock to him haha... So my mum was the cook, baker chauffeur to us, carer cum wife n mother. I remembered when he bring us to holiday, my mum need to pack for 5 of us, she need to mstch his clothing from shirt to shoes. Amazing right. She shops for him till now n on any official trips or event she mstch n lay down what to wear for him. So he just dress up n wait at the door impatiently sometimes and ask why mum is taking so long..uh huh... It may sound like he just need a maid cum nanny. But we know that it is not true. He gives my mum a worry free life till sometimes we get annoyed at her innocence n ignorance. Haha...everything he owns he put a name of 50% for my mum. So my mum basicalky hv zero savings because whatever he gives her, she end up spending it showing how carefree she is. Traditional man way of showing love is be responsible to ur family n protect them.. N it is true he hardly have time. Much like inner courtyard women, outside mem world system. Btw he is so good to my grandma too till her passing. He never say no to her. N he was good to my mum family too. Everytime her siblings had any issues they will come n talk to him. He still gives my maternal grandma pocket money. We love our dad. He loves us to bits. He shows his emotion more as he ages. Oh boy!! in his younger days, none of us dare to cross him. His angry face is very very scary. If he get riled up, we all know thats it. We r in big big trouble.. But i still remember when i was hospitalised because of diarrhea, he end up holding my hand n tell me not to be scare w tears in his eyes. N his fear was so blatant when i had to give birth prematurely. My daughter is like a pearl in his hand, totally spoilt rotten. now that he is much older n much more freely showing his emotion to us. But this type of man can be harsher on boys. There is a saying raise ur daughter like a princess but raise ur son like a pauper. Thats my dad. Haha... But when they get to old age they want to stay w son, not daughter. Haha... Because to them thats the way it should be. To me is why cant u stay w me. I would love to hv u. Go figure right. I guess this type is language of love is just pure about doing tasks.. No sweet words, buy gifts, spend time.. But whichever type, a good heart is a must. With a good heart, we hv to accept no one is perfect. We cant hv everything.

I totally agree with @Funnypeopleswim about houye attitude to all his women rrally escalate the intensity of thrir negative behaviour. It's like argueing chicken first irvegg first. A bit tough. But it is true that he was first and foremost an absent husband. Then when he is home he just expect peace n maybe quietness. So when they dont suit his taste (wen n qin due to their background) n yuanniang due to her not trusting him n her controlling ways, he just avoid them. With tong he think she is scheming w yuanniang. With qiao he finds her repulsive because she keeps throwing herself to him. He just do a very typical man thing - - run away n retrieve to his cave. Ignore them. Pretend like u don see, the prob is not there. The more he avoid them, the more they react.. They r human, not object..all them his wives, i don think just fed them n give them status n protection are enough. I mean he doesnt need to sleep w them if he has no interest in them but at least most of them carry his child n at least he can do is treat them like a friend. Have a chat, drink tea occasionally to find out about their concerns. The drama makes him saintly and and needing warm n love but i do pity the ladies. I say in my post this week, these ladies all took it upon themselves to find that security. N it is very sad. Which women in any era really wish to become a tough cookie or so independent or scheming.. They only do that when they feel like there is no one absolute no one they can depend on or share their burden with them. Very much like shiyi when she first marry houye - no expectations, no care for him or anyone in this household. She just doesn't allow herself to spiral in the negative way. Out of all this women i don think wen deserve this sort of treatment. He is rather snobbish everytime he says she is to mercenary. He was pretty unkind too when he says qin is not educated enough to raise jiege. No wonder qin says i m so lowly i don even hv a right ti be a mother. also He should be happy wen is mercenary not end up evil like qiao n qin or tactical like yuanniang. She is a typical modern version of don get the man, don get angry, get the money. N thats when she fall into control of her family. N not once in the drama he was behaving like a father to yuge only until shiyi point out he shoukd talk to the kids more. Her scene in 38 really voice her pain, i get teary for her.Chunge is ur son, yuge is also ur son. In fact i get tesry over all the scenes of confrontation w all the concubines qiao wen qin. N after the burning embroidery scene. Not once they show yuge being comforted. He let a lowly nanny accuse his 10 yo son of scheming sgainst his brother. He was crying denying no. What a callous father he can be. I hate the scene yuge crying so hard when we know he is such a good boy. He doubt for the moment thete because he just doesn't know the character of his son well as a father.
