For her birthday, he:
* came home early from a work trip
* made her an elaborate dinner

and then gave her a puzzle of *his* favorite architecture thing.

And when she didn't like it, he said he though she "wasn't like other women." And then sent her money, instead.

That seems pretty spiteful.

And then unfriends her on WeChat?

Listen: this is due to his own insecurities. He must be worried she only likes him for his money.

This picture is mostly for her friends' reactions. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And then she looks back at her friends, grins, gives a peace sign, then looks back at him all puppy-dog-eyed and repentant.

#cdrama #DearEnemy

Knowing this slimeball, he's going to try to use it to get in Qing Cheng's pants again.

THAT'S TOTALLY HER WIFE. SHE IS DEFINITELY A LESBIAN.

Is he wearing a peacock feather on his lapel to signify that he's... showing off for his mate? ๐Ÿค”

LMAO "She regrets not dumping you sooner." ๐Ÿคฃ

"This look is too classy for me to roast anyone." ๐Ÿ˜†

I predict that Mr Red Flag's ex-wife is gay. That's why they broke up amicably.

DAMN Luo Man cleans up ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ I love how she can be slouchy and comfy and then look like absolute fire as a guest at this wedding. ๐Ÿฅต

Oh shit, and Mr Red Flag is there too, but she had to find her own way because he didn't want to take her! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

*snort* "how did you two meet," asks a man of his wife, referring to her friend who is also a woman he tried to cheat with. How, indeed.

This was really hard. For this one question, I've decided to limit myself to Dramas from 2025, and have ended up calling a tie:
For feeling thoroughly RIGHT to me, right to the end
#cDrama #DearEnemy which I wrote about here:

More truly lovely reflective shots in this show. Clear reflections on car mirrors, branch reflections on the windshield, obscuring the faces within, mirror at the night stand, distorted mirror in the hallway. The cinematographer is giving us a buffet of reflections and I want to analyze for symbolism but also enjoying it without knowing.

Kai Xi's husband is a real piece of work, isn't he? ๐Ÿ˜ค

What does Director Jiang want with Qing Cheng? ๐Ÿค”

#cdrama #DearEnemy
Ha, these two trading off showing off how capable they are at their jobs to each other. ๐Ÿคญ

"Losers blame it on righteousness and that winners are shameless." ๐Ÿ˜‚

Holy, hired as VP? I am very dubious that it isn't a ploy to get access to her husband's pre-IPO stocks...

BOOM and the big question on if they are officially in a relationship. ๐Ÿ‘€

This entire episode was full on adult flirting.

#cdrama #DearEnemy

I am also appreciating all of the mirrors and reflective surfaces in this show...

FSM bless the cdrama culture of incorporating menstruation into plot lines.

Ah ha! Now we know how Red Flag found out where Luo Man was!

Even the realness of checking if you stained the bed! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I love how she is 100% not trying to cater to his interests or comfort AT ALL. ๐Ÿ˜‚ "You want to be with me? You gotta put up with me, in all my realness." GOAT

Luo Man is such a hot mess and I love her for it.

Her dad comparing her to Kai Xi when Kai Xi's "perfect" marriage is falling apart!

Mr. Red Flag... what is he up to? Because if he was out on a date with Qing Cheng's roomie... but the roomie said he just sent her home instead of inviting her in... ๐Ÿค”

If Luo Man had Mr Red Flag blocked on WeChat, how would he have seen her post and know where she was? And why didn't Kai Xi ever meet her there?

#cdrama #DearEnemy

The other detail I noticed is this constant deep green color. Father and son both wore it. Qing Cheng wore it while at Luo Man's house. Xi Xi wore it as the sexy nightgown when she tried to win her husband back.

I wonder what (if any) is the key to that color and who wears it when... ๐Ÿค”
