@AwkwarDerp i hope it stay at friendship in between OuHao with Seven....i read reports about him and what happen between him and MSC.... :x so i dunno if i want OuHao as a bf for Seven

 

 

I think it will, honestly i don’t know but Songyun seems to be quite professional and she does have a clear lines with her friends

to be honest, even if she date, i would be happy for her but i don’t think she’s the type to date co-stars/friends

I remember people used to ship her with Wei Daxun and Dylan Xiong too 

Yeah! I heard Ou Hao also bought the whole cinema and also two showtimes 

I don't know if anyone noticed but Sugar Daddy is also in the Happy Camp episode, i had to watch the trailer 3 times to know

@40somethingahjumma @Xiaopz_pj - Yeah, I agreed too. It was a sudden change from what I would expect from Mi Ka. I remembered she told Kelei to share his worries before so it was strange that she didn't do the same. I'm satisfied with how both of them responded once it was let out though. 

 

Honestly, I did not expect Kelei to respond that way to Mi Ka when she asked him why he's never told her he loves her. Once he said it, I thought, "Hmm...that sounds a lot like something Kelei would say". Haha!

 

I love love love that BTS of their sofa kiss. It's funny, cute, and everything I love about this couple. 

 

I don't want it to end this week!  There are only a few dramas I will continue to rewatch repeatedly and I feel pretty strongly that this will be one of them. 

 

Question: What will everyone be watching after this? Or, I guess, what is everyone currently watching too?  

 

 

My server want to try word of honours. Although, i’m not too hype cause i watched a few episodess and it seems like i need to full on concentrate but the hype is real so i’m gonna try it out. Also on weekends, we’re rewatching Nice To Meet You and Someday or One Day

Can we talk about Keyao, when she shut down those two sisters? 
 

man, like it ended so easily for those two, I lowkey wanted some more action, but damn, I replay that scene a lot.

It’s Happy Camp, a variety show

Wait, you know its an april fool joke right?

Hmmm, I realised something about Madam Luo. Despite how cruel and heartless she seemed to be towards Luo Harem,  one thing she did them right. She married off ALL of the Luo Girls from the concubines as legal wife which is unusual even though she did it with a purpose in ShiYi and ErNiang's case. ErNiang's husband is an only heir to a dukedom which is a higher rank than a marques (LingYi has greater influences than Wang because of his merits in military). I know she has a son of a biscuit as a husband but she has great power in Wang household and the society if only she knows how to uses it, just like ShiYi whose like wasn't all smelling like flowers in the beginning of her marriage.  That's why Madam Luo said to ErNiang's mom that ErNiang's plight is self-implicated.

 

Well as we’re waiting for the drama and me reading the book, I learned that most of concubines were married in because Luo Madame wanted to.....which I was a bit surprised, cause it said that most of concubines were servant so she decided to give them a status. 5th Lady was a daughter of Madame Luo’s servant but her mother didn’t stop serving Luo Madame even after given birth, so 5Th lady was raised under Luo Madame’s hand. I can see like even in the drama she’s strict and stuff but she never done anything cruelly to hurt any of them, especially the daughters

I've reached the blood boiling episode, Yan Shan deleted her research for her thesis. I am going to cry, as a university, I know how hard it is to write a thesis and they have to be based on like grounded research and they're not easy to find but OMG how dare she! She literally did this, RIGHT AFTER Doctor Shao was like "You need to keep in mind two things, one of them is to be humble" and what did she do? 

She said she have confident she can crushed other people, obviously you only do this when you feel threaten and HAVE NO CONFIDENCE.  

CAN CHEN TAO LIKE SCREAM AT HER ALREADY? Like don't keep silent dude

i thought u want ChenTao? How many u intent to take lols

I CAN'T CHOOSE, I love how gentle he is with everyone but at the same time, he knows who he should be strict and straightforward with to avoid miscommunication. 

I finally got two 20? (I honestly don't remember where I ended) but it was their one hour date, super cute and the encounter with the sister was hilarious. I love it.

CAN I JUST SAY I AM HEARTBROKEN FOR CHEN TAO, when he waited for several hours at the fountain waiting for Yan Shan to come, THEN TO SEE HER MAKING DINNER PLAN WITH Dr. SHAO. Now, in these situations, hopefully she's not gonna be a Barbie Girl and blame it on Dr. Shao (oh he wanted me to work overtime) or come up with some dumb excuse that would persuade Chen Tao to forgive because I definitely WOULD NOT! My poor Chen Tao. 

SHU WENBO'S ROMANCE FRUSTRATED ME SO MUCH (in a bad way) it's like I get he's insecure but at the same time, they both love each other but there's a like a wall that Shu Wenbo need to CLIMB FREAKING OVER. I honestly love everyone in this drama, well except for Yan Shan, LOL like i don't know why she's there, scenes over, your job here is done, please go home and don't come back until the drama is done.

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.

 

 

Yup, so I agree! Also, very beautiful story! Definitely, the definition of "traditional" can be interpret in a lot of ways. It really depends on our views and how we see things. I interpret the word as how I've seen or witness and heard stories (in Asia, more specifically i'll say Vietnam because I don't want to speak falsely of other country) men are basically essentials while we're not and I think most people definitely see this in our modern society too, where men are valued over women sometimes but now, it's some people think its perfectly normal but how I SEE my mom and us were being treated by the in-laws, people say that's so "traditional", plus I think of it was the "rights" the men think they have and how basically dramas and stories are telling us and stuff. My dad would definitely be tough on his boys (no doubt) but they definitely still want boys for sure, like my grandmother, aunts and stuff. 

**Like this is gonna sound super Lianfang/drama-ish, but my dad's in-laws used to make up rumours to hopefully separate my parents so my dad can get another wife that will give him a son because they believe it was my mother's fault

That's really typical..... Exactly like my Dad.... In fairness, my Dad's side never have  that traditional thinking about boy vs girl thingy. I have few fabulous aunties, my Dad's sisters.

 

Life is funny sometimes. My parent got 3 girls and 1 boy but their total grandchildren combined are 7 with 6 boys and 1 girl.....

My parent keep telling people that “you know when she was pregnant with her (me) we all thought it was gonna be a boy” sorry to disappoint you guys since birth

@AwkwarDerp

I would say my Dad is quite similar in how the way he treats my Mom but he treats his daughters like princess, he got 3.... We grew up being totally spoiled by Dad until today despite all 3 of us married with kids. He only got one son but just like HouYe, he is very hard toward my Bro. But all of us grew up with total freedom that were handed to us on a silver platter. My parent rarely got involved in our decision making. I remember that when I graduated Junior High and about to enrolled to Senior High, none of my parent sat my down and discussed about which school I wanted. I only informed them the name of the school and Dad gave the cash....The same with college, dating, friends, everything. Well, all of us turned out fine and normal.....

That's good! My father doesn't care about our relationship issues or anything but he's quite helpful when it comes to cash, especially if you don't be calculative with him. Another thing why he doesn't give us affection was because the in-law side (my dad's) and him personally all wanted boys....Instead they got 4 girls, so you can see the disappointment and how it comes to how my mom is being treated, whereas my aunts and uncles all have boys and girls, so even though my dad was the first child in his family but because he didn't have a boy, so all they care now is money so my mom is like my moral support at time, even when my dad constantly telling her things like "oh when you die or anything, I will be the one who will be with you until the end, not the kids, so don't worry about them." which my mom laughed, cause she's like........uh.....i wonder if my dad knows my mom talk bad about him behind his back 

That's why I felt like they were traditional because of the whole "boys over girls" kind of thing.

My dad is pretty sensitive, and kind of mom-like, my uncles aren't really like as you described. I mean they provide and stuff, but I don't get the sense that they are like this. We do get the typical men sitting at the table while the women care for the food and clean up at a party, but I know they all do housework in the privacy of their own homes. 

 

I guess some traditional arch-types prevail. 

First of all, I just want to say I love my dad. 
 

Anyways. To me, my dad can be describe as the traditional father. He believes in the idea that “women have to know how to cook, clean etc” as a man in the house, he shouldn’t be doing any of that. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t, but in the past, my dad’s mind was very narrow, at parties and gathering he’ll make statement like “what’s the point of having daughters if they can’t do stuff like clean and cook” etc. He also provide us, but in a way as here (I give you money, i give you a place to live) so we never get any affection from him, if anything happen, my mom would be the first to blame. He always say he’s the head the household, he shouldn’t be doing anything etc, what are wife for, what are kids for. 
 

Furthermore, my dad’s family does not like my mom (cause before marriage, she wasn’t like “rich) so you can understand the hardship she face with the in-laws, In the past, he’s easily triggered and stuff but nowadays, my mom is trying very hard to shape him and he’s getting much better now. 

to me, he’s definitely a very traditional man but now I love him more because he’s becoming more understanding.

I m wondering what's ur opinion of men having mistresses or concubines. I mean definitely it is not acceptable for any sane women nowadays. But which is the lesser of the two evils. Many European nobles n royalty practices having mistresses like u know khmm... the C & C. Muslims, other asian cuktures n ancient chinese practices 2nd wives which is basically i call concubines. 

Like to me, I’m not too fond of the idea for modern society but then realistically if we look at things, too many cheaters and honestly that’s how I see it with the concubine stuff too but its like “i’m openingly dating another woman” rather then now “I’m secretly seeing another woman behind your back”. I respect the history but I don’t want to see it for modern days. 

I think we’re at episode 16? 
 

ANYWAY, IT WAS THE DATING EPISODES. MY HEART but when he said “nice working with me you” I was like.... this isn’t rated 8+ drama. 
 

also it was a bit predictable to me when he told her why he didn’t want to tell her that it was him who saved her. Like i legit guessed his reason in the prior episode because we watched as a group and although the reason the was predictable, by hearing it, it makes my heart melt like better. I am waiting to catch up with all the episodes tonight. 
 

side note: i just love it how everyone knew they liked each other except them and when they started to date, nobody was even surprised 

i need a doctor Shao for me. 

Can I just say, I love it whenever people called him Sugar Daddy, it just make him sounds so rich

I believe it. Arrange marriages are fascinating to me.  My mom used to set me up on blind dates all the time. But the candidates were all unsuitable. But my father-in-law does a lot of marriage counselling and he says they are sometimes more successful than love matches because the couple have lower expectations of each other and behave more practically.

 

@JennyKimWOP I can't predict who Shiyi would be more happy with. Both men have their own appeal. But your insights were interesting. I sort of think Shiyi is the kind of person who knows how to find her own happiness no matter who she is with. 

 

But the romantic in me supposes Houye is the one she is fated for. 

My mother doesn’t set me up for blind dates but she used to do this thing where she bring people home, as like a way “look i found you a friend” and I didn’t understand at that time, cause she was like “go ahead and exchange numbers” or like recently she called and asked if i still talk to that boy. (I don’t get her intention but maybe she thinks i’m lonely?) 

do i look lonely? I’m wheezing over this drama too much to be lonely

subs:

Lingyi: there isn’t much time. I have to go save ShiYi 

————-

Xu Madame: ShiYi Niang, you are the main wife of the Xu Family. Even if I have to give up everything in the Xu family, I won’t give up. 
 

Officer: It’s time 

ShiYi: Thank you, mother! For protecting me. 
 

citizens: don’t kill her, she’s a good person

————-

=If this game, it was predicted that I will lose=
 

Ou Yan Xing: If it isn’t because of fate...Then I would be more suitable for you than Xu Lingyi. 

Then the end the Emperor promoted her status. 

Saw the trailer for next week, I love it. Finally, Xu Madame risk everything to tried and save ShiYi, even on the stage where she was about to be beheaded. 

I'm available, anyone that doesn't get accepted by their partners. They can come to me, CHEN TAO 

I need a doctor badge, my lovely head doctor Shao

@40somethingahjumma - I don't think Xiao Xia should have to try this hard either. Wenbo is a bit clueless when it comes to romance, but even so, if he was moved by Xiao Xia in even the tiniest way, he would not be ignoring her the way he has been. He doesn't respond to her messages or phone calls. When they do see each other, he shows her that he's interested. Wenbo keeps sending Xiao Xia mix signals --- do you like her or are you just being nice?

 

When Wenbo was doing this before the earthquake, I understood that he probably didn't know what he wanted and it's not like they spent that much time together. However, after the earthquake, he continues to treat her the same way. If she was my friend, I would tell her to drop him already. Haha!

 

That dinner scene in the preview, I hope that means that we'll see Wenbo work a little harder if he wants to be with Xiao Xia. I don't want Xiao Xia to suddenly give in to him just because he's not ignoring her now (boxing scene). 

 

Haha, yes!! I love that we're all from different areas. 

 

Shh...we don't speak about my sleeping habits. 

 

 

Yay badges! @AwkwarDerp, do you want one too?

He won an award for his performance in The Ordinary Glory with Mark Chao. His other drama after that (Irreplaceable Love), I heard not so great reviews about it. 

 

All that counts is this is the drama he has his first onscreen kiss, the first in all the 7 years he's been in the entertainment industry. 

The only Bai Jingting drama I watched was when he was the second lead, I would recommend but then I wouldn't either
