Best Choice Ever Episode 27

This was a bit hard to watch. My Dad also subscribed to the "to save face, I will assume my kids are always wrong" way of parenting. He rarely listened to us and was quick to punish us. This created such a distance between him and his kids. And he also left some of us with relatives for portions of our lives. I applaud ChengHuan and ChengZao for continuing to try and give their mother the benefit of the doubt. But they also are standing up for themselves more and giving themselves time to calm down before they enter the fray. Liu Wan Yu had been warned by ZhiMing NOT to visit during work hours and she did it the following day to bring ChengHuan lunch. She really has no capacity to understand boundaries and to determine work vs personal space. It undermines ChengHuan's leadership which hasn't been fully established yet. Even my 5yo could understand this boundary when I had a home office.

Qiu Qiu will grow up feeling entitled if he doesn't get disciplined now. As it is, he already feels entitled to other kid's toys. He doesn't know how to apologize when he ruins other people's clothes and the adults just think that's OK. It's horrible to witness.

I guess these doctors don't prescribe to the Hippocratic Oath about doing no harm. Anyone who gets in their way dies by suicide and ends up in the pond and hangs themselves. Who can the Crown Prince trust?

I think they'll do well together even thought it started as a childhood crush for Zao. He'll be great for Mao Mao esp. after that prick of an ex-husband.Our main couple's romance wants to take off, but keeps getting hampered. Even their fishing trip seems to be getting extra people...Ugh.

Ha Ni closes her eyes as she gets the needle closer to the vein. OMG, so funny. Seung Jo was so brave to volunteer for her to practice on. His poor arm.

ML finally had the courage to confess but he takes it back. Lame. FL at least gets the clue because she's been unaware of his feelings. Maybe this is the start we've been waiting for, for them to truly start trusting each other and develop their feelings.

This was an intense episode. Heartbreaking for Hua Zhi, Shaoyao and the grandkids who will grow up without the loving care of their grandmother.

I understand that she means well, but her daughter moved out because the Mother didn't respect boundaries. Ep 16 with that fiasco of an engagement party was the last straw for FL. But now, the Mother is again butting in and putting at risk FL's relationship with her staff. It's infuriating.

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but I cried buckets because I wasn't prepared. And with that ending, I don't think Yao ZhiMing was prepared either. I thought Nǎinai would do a 50-50 split since Zhiming kept saying ChengHuan could oversee him.

I had suspected the culprit from the start but couldn't fathom the reasoning behind it. What a convoluted way to think, that someone's death would solve problems for someone else. That's palace intrigue for you. So much pain for Shaoyao and Yanxi.What's been surprising is that even with the reveal that YanXi works for the government's scary bureau, Hua Zhi still trusts YanXi. I guess she has gotten to know him well enough, or is she being naive?

FL has had hardships because of poverty but grew up in a loving family even though her Mom expresses it in an annoying way. ML had privilege but grew up distant, closed-off and is a good trouble-shooter. They have a lot to learn for each other, which Grandmother seems to realize already.

FL's travels with her grandfather broadened her outlook and the dividends are paying, but she has a long way to go to earn her family's freedom. Now, people are waiting to take advantage of them. I don't trust their former guardians who abandoned them when they were at their lowest.

The NC scene, the talk that came 10 years too late, the saved bunny and tiger, the rescued pup. So many emotions.

We get an inkling that they had feelings for each other even as far back as high school, but neither wanted to confess first. It's a difficult situation. Things drastically change between friends when there's a love confession and it's one-sided. And even when there's mutual feelings, you start asking:Should I preserve the friendship and not act on these feelings, or do I take the leap and potentially have the relationship progress to the next level (an even closer relationship)?There's no easy answer, and both of them keep avoiding addressing the elephant in the room.

That last scene was a little too much angst. Jwasang Seok Ji-sung is a heartless power-hungry official who would sacrifice his own son just so he would not be implicated by his past schemes. It was hard to watch.
