Raaaaaaaaaaaaaage
I am in the middle of ep 10 of Summer Desire and my summer desire to stab Ou Chen in his face continues unabated.
I think we are supposed to find it sweet that he is the one who picked the date, the location, the venue, the bridal gown, and even her jewelry for their wedding but I find it creepy as hell - he did not even consider having her input into any of these. Control freak extraordinaire! Ugh. I think you are looking for a mute submissive, Ou Chen, not a proper wife.
Then there is the fact he keeps asking her "will you regret marrying me?" over and over which is a frelling ridiculous, selfish thing to ask under the circumstances - she is only marrying you to save her brother's life because you frelling blackmailed her - what do you expect - an undying declaration of love? (Nicely, he tells her whether she regrets or not, she is still his bride. Awwwwww. NOT). Just look at him being all hurt when she tells him her acting solicitous is an act - proper for an engaged bride to do and watch him feel all emo when she treats their marriage as a contract. WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPECT, MORON????
Ugh. I hate him. The reason I hate him above all is that feisty, strong Xiao Mo has basically become this beaten-down sleepwalker, wrapped in her desperate misery and he does not care one bit because he's busy being happy over finally getting her. That's some love you got going there, paragon of humanity! Why don't you drown somewhere?
Luo Xi may be deeply deeply flawed and need decades of therapy instead of a girlfriend but he has NEVER coerced Xiamo Mo, never killed all her spirit, never blackmailed her with her brother's life.
Ou Chen is total scum.
Yes, yes, they stuck the scene in there in ep 9 where he sees how miserable she is over her little brother (this is before she accepted his condition of marriage) and tells her he withdraws the condition - she can have the transplant and doesn't have to marry him. But she is so zoned in her own world of misery she basically doesn't hear it and tells him she'll go on with the marriage if he becomes a donor. BUT. It doesn't really make it better - because he knows she does not want him, she knows she didn't really hear him, and his little attack of scruples is over without any effect, he just agrees to her and pushes on. UGH DIE DIE PIG.
ETA: Yes, I realize I am being unfair. He's fucked-up in the head and brought up by wolves, not to mention Xiao Mo herself should have told LX the truth and planned to divorce OC as soon as transplant is complete, if she really didn't want him, and he did try to be unselfish but gave in to temptation. And I know he does learn proper unselfishness later. But whatever. He is currently hurting my Xiao Mo so I want him in a frelling pit. Viikii commenters who view him as an angel and castigate XM for not luuuuuurving the woobie make me even angrier.
ETA2: Heeee, Ou Chen just found out his whole life has been a fake. Yum yum yum. I gotta say the viikii anti-butler comments are hilarious. The Old Guy is pretty insane.
ETA3: OK, I don't hate OC any more and feel pretty sorry for him. Man, people around him should all be in jail for something - I can't think what but doing that to someone is horrid and evil. Also, I keep hoping Butler gets run over by a truck but no luck. Oh how I hate that man.
ETA4: OK, back in OC/XM train, EEE. Yes, am bipolar.
