Episode 11 continues from the point where Tang Men and Jia Si Le are still talking about their fair competition as Xiao Hua steps out from the shop (after Jiang Ba Ba convinced her of Tang Men's words) to witness Tang Men saying, "I won't let you have Xiao Hua!" Touched or what? (LOL) She have no idea what they were talking about. Leave it up to Xiao Hua to just hug Tang Men right then and there out in the street where everyone - far and near - could see them.
Tang Men: "Everyone is staring at us."
Xiao Hua: "They don't know me."
Tang Men: "But they know me."
Gotta give them credit for that! LOL!
Jiang Ba Ba praying? That's news to me! No, wait. Not really news but he has a strange way of praying that it's hard not to laugh.
Oh yea, what else? How can the episode miss a hilarious scene of Dou Zi and Lai Rui Ke? Yes, Dou Zi finally gets to go home.
How romantic! Xiao Hua waiting for Tang Men to come home. Greeting at his doorstep, nice scene, eh? (NOT)
Xiao Hua and her imaginative mind! HuHu is back! (LOL) Xiao Hua immitating Tang Men's gestures! Way too funny!
This episode has a lot of hilarious scenes versus the past. Hopefully it doesn't end there.
So while Jia Si Le's bribing Jojo to help him win Xiao Hua back, Jiang Mi's also plotting to fight for her love all over again. What is up her sleeves this time? Is she going to recruit Dou Zi to help her like Jia Si Le does to Jojo? If yes, then they honestly deserve each other with the same frame of mind. (Was wrong. Of course! Dou Zi's too crazy and probably won't be useful since he's so clueless half of the time.) It's back to Tang Men again. But of course he's being cunned to help her (because of a reasonable excuse) instead of Jojo back-stabbing Xiao Hua just like that. Somehow, I don't like her as much anymore. (Even if this is a comedy. How would she like it if her friend does that to her?)
Another flashback and emotional scene of Tang Men and a bit more about his parents. Aw...Tang Men calling while Xiao Hua's sleeping. How funny that he told her good night but kept asking her questions afterward. Still cute though.
For once, I'm thankful that Jiang Mi decides to strike again since Jia Si Le pulled the move. They need to be there or it will be too late. Or are they really too late? All isn't lost since Tang Men notices the strange turns of events and is starting to doubt about Jiang Ba Ba's story. His ponderment causes the delay of his interference and also more questions coming from the press. How will all this turn out? Ekkk...
While Tang Men's pondering about matters, Jiang Mi's also puzzled about the eagerness and the happy smile on Ya An's face, not to mention her agreeing to let Xiao Hua marry Jia Si Le. (Wasn't that lady on Jiang Mi's side before?) Little does she knows that it's very easy to change one's mind in this case. Everyone has their own motive, right? You can't blame Ya An for siding with Xiao Hua. After all, who wouldn't want their daughter by their side, right? (Not in every case but it works fine in this case.)
An emotional scene for Jiang Mi since the ground finally disappears from under her. It's the first time when I pity a scheming girl like her since she could admit defeat and found how she'd used the wrong tactics. Michelle Chen does have a knack for acting. Truly a traumatizing scene and worth millions of kudos. Seeing Jiang Mi so fragile and crying like that just makes it even worse. Michelle really brings a lot into the character.
This time, I must say Jia Si Le brought it onto himself. He thinks that with Jojo's help, it'll be a seal deal. Little does he knows that Xiao Hua is a very strong willed whether how others want to change her mind otherwise. Yay! (Honestly, to think that they know each other since little. Not to mention that he doesn't know that Xiao Hua's allergic to pollen.)
While Tang Men
takes Xiao Hua away on a romantic car ride, Jiang Ba Ba
takes Ya An away with his words. Well, not exactly. It was more like "Does your brain have problems?" So now that things are straightened out, does that mean Tang Men have to step away again? Aww....that would be too sad. But anyway, probably it will be taken care of in the next episode since it's better to just zoom to the romantic night walk between Tang Men and Xiao Hua while the parents and/or elders are taking care of the whole relation mess.
Okay, so how could a romantic night walk turn into Tang Men playing 21 questions and giving one of his lectures again? It only happens in
Miss No Good! (LOL) Too amusing. (On another randomness thing, how in the world could Wilber resist it when food is so close to him yet he can't eat? Aw...jia you, Will!)
So the director spares Will of staring at all those food and not being able to eat it since it was only a brief scene. The next part cuts into a quite touching scene and worth several more boxes of tissues. I totally agree with Grandma Jiang that they - Ya An and Grandma Zhu - can't suddenly stomp into their lives and tries to take Xiao Hua back. They've never been there for Xiao Hua all those times, how could they just take Xiao Hua from the Jiang family? Yes, Ya An was ashamed of herself so she gave Xiao Hua up but she can't just jump back in and take Xiao Hua out of Da Shu's life again. They're a family - whether there's a blood relation or not. The love and care and how they've gotten along all these years had created a strong bond. It would be too cruel to tear them apart just like that.
I agree with Tang Men also that Da Shu is an extraordinary man. It is his decision that he never married but to understand and consider that Xiao Hua might get bullied by her stepmother and to sacrifice his life...it takes such a big heart. (He isn't like those men who think that just marrying and getting someone to take care of the daughter is fine. But he holds on till the end to raise Xiao Hua.) Grandma Jiang is such a great person also, willing to go through so much for Xiao Hua's sake, showing her love for a
grand-daughter like Xiao Hua. With that said, I'm glad Grandma Jiang stand firm on the decision to not let go of Xiao Hua - even if it means the worst for Ya An. What already passed can't be undone, but everyone of us have to live with consequences and the actions we made in the past. (Da Shu is honestly stern about it with Xiao Hua having her happiness. But can't blame Grandma Jiang either since she has been so attached to Xiao Hua.)
So funny! I can't believe Tang Men could have such funny imaginations too. So cute and funny with his daydreaming.
And the episode ends with Tang Men's doorbell ringing. Is it to deliver bad news and breaking through Tang Men's grand plan?
I'm beginning to dislike Jia Si Le more and more as I watch on the previous episodes as well as the previews because he seems to be playing dirty and expects Tang Men to play fair. How could he say Tang Men wants to force Xiao Hua into marriage when he was the one who set that huge conference up for her to step in? If she wasn't so determined, she would've accepted just to save face for him in that atmosphere with everyone staring at them. I do pity him but I guess jealousy is turning him into a worse version of himself. It's more about winning over Tang Men than just simply clinging onto the past.
More funny behind-the-scenes parts. Gosh! It never fails to impress me with the crew working so hard. They have a great production team with so much professionalism going on (to make everything work) and also a fun group of actors and actresses.
A great surprise indeed at the end. (So funny how Will is waiting to hug Rainie for so long but she just keeps going with her speech! LOL!)

From what I had time to read (which was a good half of this), it sounds slightly confusing but intruiging.
@Dare2BDiferentt - The names might be too confusing, lol - it's in Mandarin pinyin. (I didn't want to spoil the plot too much either but I think that was half of the plot already.) And thanks for visiting.
