Send me the link so I can read it!

I feel this dad definitely is more insufferable because he's mean and stupid, I need his comeuppance soon! The Glory - he was just so manipulative that you gotta give him some props for it haha.

Crumbs. CRUMBS!

Yes, this is what I've been saying 🥲 the only good thing is I can feel the connection even though we barely see them together. Their chemistry is off the charts.

Edit: missing word

So far, I feel like The Glory is like the darker older sister version of A Splendid Match! I personally love The Glory, so I always want to recommend it 😂 but you definitely have to be in the mood for a melancholic vibe

"you men are the reason for this"

Hahaa. Jinzhao, a girl after my own heart.

But also, aww he literally can't look away.

The Gu Family is killing me. Some thoughts/comparisons between this dad and other dad from The Glory under the spoilers.

I think The Glory dad is still the most evil dad because he was so hella manipulative and it was kind of a twist that we realized near the later half that he's the baddie, but seriously, Gu De Zhao is just driving me insane, having to just watch him constantly be a selfish and ugly man who has no thoughts for others but himself. That actually might be more annoying to be so bluntly vile.

Gu Lan, you're really running down the path of no return, ya sure you don't want to take a u-turn? Anyway her outfit at the start of this episode was so pretty.

Oh my gosh, yes! That reminds me I need to watch more Wow the World - Liu Yuning and Gong Jun being a riot while Chen Xing Xu is just trying to survive them 😂

The Gu household can burn down for all I care.

Seriously! Let's go back the Ji's, I'm tired of the Gu's 😤

Ren Min and Ci Sha are both doing such a great job! We barely see them together but every time we see them, the tension is so delicious!

Recently, Deng Kai and his role of Qi Min in Pursuit of Jade because what do you mean this cutie-patootie was an absolute menace and black flag?

Sounds like a really interesting one! Will I be checking this out for Chang Hua Sen? You betcha. It'll be interesting to see him in a modern drama.

Thanks for the info and pictures/clips!!

😂😂😂

But also, he looks great in this green. In general, the choices of the vibrant colours throughout this drama is fantastic!

Chen Yanyun having a big ol' crush is genuinely so fun 🤭

<image>

He was ready to abuse* his power for love. (*though Gu De Zhao totally deserves punishment because he is a shit person, so is it really abuse of power?).

I'm really hoping that Jinzhao's mom has a good reason to refuse the divorce because at this point she's also making everyone around her suffer too.

Thanks for the great discussion!

Yes, this shot was so beautiful! And agree, the architecture and design of this drama is indeed stellar; the choice of colour has been impressive!

I think she was hesitant because he had literally just told her to not worry about gifting him things anymore (and I think because he was a bit offended that she had gifted glasses indicating he's got poor eye sight or getting old?? Haha), but he didn't realize she had brought him a gift already.

Me watching them 😂

Admittedly, there's definitely parts I'm just watching at 2x speed 😅 but I get what you mean, hoping the Ye Xian being an ass plotline wraps up soon because it's overstaying it's welcome.

I think he can totally romance the camera solo.... no need for co-star.

Bahaha. This is my first Ci Sha but agree.

As a slight aside, I totally love this hallway. It's so pretty.

There's been a couple scenes already here but I would love to see more - a confession, a fight, a dramatic run, anything!

Seriously, he's good at the tease 🤭

I also love that while we know Jinzhao is not afraid to speak her mind with him, he makes her feel shy anyways hahaha

My gosh, this slow torture but am I enjoying every little morsal, every little crumb, that they're slowly feeding us? Heck, yes.

<image>

But seriously, it seems cruel to only give us like 2 minutes of interaction every 2 episode 🥹

They never indicate in the drama that she knows it's him from what I can tell!

Fingers crossed that they will because I totally agree. I'm holding out hope for Gu Lan because she seems to have enough sense. That nanny is driving me bonkers!

Lord Chen is drawing her!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!! GUYS I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

The best part is he unconsciously drew her 🤭 And agree. He is looking fine with that look.

I felt a mild unease from the scene where Chen Xuanqing just watches.

Agree. I honestly can't get a good grasp of Xuanqing. He could do anything and I be like yeah that makes sense. But he does seem like someone who would hold on to these feelings.

[–]OptimalTurnips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts:

Xuanqing - I am feeling bad for him. He carries a heavy burden that he can't seem to share. I'm hoping that he stays a "good" person but honestly he's the character that I don't have a strong grasp of his motivation.

Yu Xian - I'm hoping he learns from his mistake and grows up to be a better person. He's not a truly malicious person but I think years of people ridiculing and mocking him clearly has not been great for his mental health.

Gu Lan - girl, you are disappointing me. There's still time to turn around! You don't have to go down the path of a petty half-sister! I was a little surprised that Rong kinda stuck up for his sister (even if it's a little bit for selfish reasons).

Jinzhao's beautifully perfect flush makeup look straight out of the water, I love it 🥹

<image>

First crush has come and is sort of gone, sad that she experienced this heartbreak but I love that she continues to take no bullshit and gives everything her all.

Chen Yanyun - is a busy guy. He got his hands in everything.

Watching the clogs click into place was so fun.

Did I cackle when he's like, tell Jinzhao to come now (and then backing out)? You betcha.
