Rachel saying I dont want a part in your family was the best line for me. What bitchy women in Nick's family. No surprise he managed to stay away for so long! That is Eastern culture possibly where not only women like Rachel's mother cheat & fly to America but also Nick's mother leave no chance to remind about her propriety to the world and why a rich man would have married her!! I dont know about entire Eastern culture so added possibly. Rachel did stand out as an Asian born in America – ethically and morally strong reflecting American values Asians imbibe as they immigrate there as next gen kids.
Thank god I didn't allow my parents to dictate my life anymore. I learned to say no. Better late than never. It's hard being a Malay Muslim in Malaysia.
This story and ready or not are very similar. I know ready or not is a horror film but the fact that both men didn’t prepare their wives to be for their families scrupulous ways. I’m sure a lot of rich families are like this. you can’t win either way lol.
Eleanor being a protective & wanting the best for her son is understandably expected of a mother. Due to this expected behavior a lot of people easily overlooks Eleanor's subtle jealousy of Rachel receiving positive reviews from the grandmother. When Eleanor first met Rachel she was very nonchalant & easy going with her disapproval of Rachel. However, once Eleanor saw the grandmother's positive response to Rachel, that is when venom poured out of every conversation she had Rachel. When Eleanor revealed the info the PI found, it was to put Rachel in a negative light in the grandmother's eyes. It had nothing to with protecting Nick or family reputation.
Yep I actually expected this jing han. So no. Didn’t want to interfere with you. See I am not cute and kawaii like some frail looking Chinese girl like chunchunmaru. So when I complain my parents suck nobody feels sorry for me. They just tell me to get married and move out. That’s life
The funny thing is in the scene as well, Nick’s mom was trying to gain points back with his grandmother only for her to lose more points in the end. Very telling what “revenge” or wanting to be “up there” by tearing someone down can do to you too
I like how the grandmother blames Eleanor. It’s what sold for me the idea that Eleanor was critical and suspicious of Rachel because she was likely treated the same. She believes Nick is making a poor choice and going down a path of misery. Makes the pay off later more satisfying when she relents and gives her blessing. It’s almost like she has broken free from the generational trauma imposed by the family matriarch.
The story feels very timeless and classic while the style of the movie makes it beautifully modern.
The worst part is in the book the grandmother cheated on her husband and had a child with an old lover. I wonder if that will be in the movie series then that would make her the biggest hypocrite
This PROVES money does NOT buy class, intelligence, or compassion. Money ignores all morality because MONEY doesn't know where it comes from. It just is, so like any tool, it can be used for good or evil. I think we all know how it is being used here.

Nick was the real villain in this movie. I hated him so much.
Fun fact rachel real father is ultra rich 😂

I don’t get it
I don't want any part of your family… Wow.. If I stand on her shoes.. I would say those kind of words
🇩🇪🇨🇳🇦🇺🇻🇳🇲🇽🇫🇷
as an asian yes, we dig into someone's background before getting married to them, we don't want someone that has a bad reputation in our family
Asian and their old granny's
Typical toxic Asian/South Asian family.

It's crazy how they were all of Hokkien descent and the matriach has this strong Beijing accent all of a sudden.
I feel proud of myself for understanding everything Grandma said

This is why it is important to allow God to lead and not envious hearts. God bless. ❤
Asian gossip culture etc is just f'ed-
Asian grandparents are either the sweetest people or the worst people on the planet. IYKYK
Slap that almost death grandma
Real life Bad granny is a nightmare

To be realistic, one can't expect him to let go of his family's multi-billion dollar empire for her ambition to be a professor.
Get real
Rachel didn’t know the details of her dad’s situation this was so unfair ungodly and disrespectful
You have no right to deal with Rahael… She deserves what she is saying
