I actually liked LMC's scenes cos you knew something bad would happen when this crazy woman appeared. LMC surprised me towards the end with her motherly attitude towards baby Guo Xiang. It really makes me think was she really that bad to start off with? I really wished JY told us what on earth Lu Zhan Yuan did to her? Did he deceive her and then dump her or it just one-sided love all along? Anyhow, I think LMC is nuts but like most JY villians, she has a softer tragic side to her that reveals her humanity.
I sympathised with MCF as well but personally, I like LMC better! The new arc of the romance between HYS and MCF really disturbs me!
