Love Family Ep 2 (recap)

EP 2

You Ai puts Shang Ren and Shi Long straight away to work by gathering 100 bugs from the vegetable garden. While supervising them her childhood and family friend Yin Yin (Amanda Chou) arrives and inquires about the new hired help. It is then that the two girls decide the guys must be gay since they seem so attached and close. Later when the guys are cleaning up they have a water fight which just feeds into Yin Yin and You Ai's theory. In the end Shang Ren signs a contract saying they will work for low wages for a month. We are then introduced to the youngest of the Xu family You Meng (Rabbit Yang) who is currently attending university and enjoys cosplay. Given her young age Shang Ren rules her out as being his Angel so the only one left is the last sister who they have yet to meet.

The next day, You Qing (Yin Fu) arrives at the inn, the last sister. Instantly Shang Ren feels she must be the Angel he has been looking for, partly due to the fact that she has the three flowers stitched on her handbag. As the day moves along Sheng Ren tries to interact with You Qing as much as he can and is about to tell her about the handkerchief he has been carrying around for 20 years. Just then a little boy arrives with Yin Yin calling out mommy and running up to You Qing.

Thoughts: You Ai is pretty hard on the guys to a point where I'm surprised they put up with it but I guess she has her own reasons why she is so harsh. The acknowledgement of the men being gay or in a relationship is progressive for Asian culture but Taiwan is one of the more progressive countries regarding it.
