But there are no effects only because he didn't die - let's say he was successful in his truck-raming. I bet Xiamo is no dummy and she'd realize it was suicide. He WAS doing it so she'd forgive him (which is so messed-up I have no words), after all.
I beg to differ! 1) The way he did it would have been just ruled out as an accident – if she isn’t suspecting anything now , there is no chance she would have suspected anything in the case of his death. The way it all played – if he was dead, she wouldn’t have even known what happened at all (remember, she didn’t even know he had an accident until he told her! I think she must have been in prison, so she didn’t read the papers or something?). 2) Yes, another big difference with LX is that she DID tell OC to die, and she meant it. So in his situation, I wouldn’t even mind him telling her everything (although I think him a bigger man because he didn’t) . She wanted him dead. She didn’t want LX dead. This is a BIG difference. She is responsible for what OC did, but she can’t be made responsible for what LX did. BIG difference.
Re: LX's suicide as a threat - well, it's similar to OC again. LX is blackmailing Xiamo using his life, and OC is using the life of her brother. Both the guys have issues the size of the Sahara and if this was real life, I'd tell Xiamo to get far away from either of them :)
I adree that both iguys have issues, but for some reason LX’s issues annoy me and OC’s issues make me go “poor woobie”!!!! I will try to articulate why:
On the OC side: Re: marriage. I thought long and hard why the marriage arrangement doesn’t bother me at all and I have understood why: I don’t think a marriage is a big deal. My friend married a man so that she could live in the UK. Whilst this is not something I would have done, who am to judge her. I knew people from Africa who had families at home and who married in the UK , divorced and brought their families across. Who am I to judge again?
At the same time I view giving kidney to a guy whom you don’t even know as a big deal. XM is not even his gf at this point, so he has no connection with the dying boy whatsoever.You can divorce easily at our day and age, you will never get your kidney back. It would have been different in a Victorian novel, but not nowdays.
So , an arrangement of “kidney for a marriage” seems to me as huge bargain on XM ‘s side.
On the LX side: If LX was a semi-unselfish bf, he would have understood the situation and they would have worked it out together with Xm and laughed in the face of OC who has nothing but empty marriage paper. But LX is not, he is a self-centered so-and-so who doesn’t even notice that XM’s brother is ill and who goes on kissing other ladies when his gf is in a hospital looking after her sick brother (and this was before she agreed to OC’s marriage proposal, in fact this was the thing that pushed her towards agreeing) . She knows that if she tells LX about the marriage arrangement he would spoil it all, and she is right. There is no way he can think of the brother’s health, he just thinks about himself.
LX’s kissing other girl is another big thing for me – I see my bf kissing other ladies- this will be the end of it.
