Yes, this drama is good for sadomasochists. They
will enjoy a lot. I dont know if this wife behavior is normal or happen in married couples in China or this is merely fiction. I from outside feel shame for this character. This type of women doesn't deserve any respect if it happen in true life . From acting etc all is ok. Im not Chinese woman and I feel mad when they are portrayed that way. It is common to watch this type of character in " Asian dramas". Hey writers!, It is not a way to conquer a man. It is unworthy and all the similar adjectives that exist. Be more creative because you are responsible of how the audience look in general Chinese women.
