There's no denying that Mi Li and Gray come from different cultures — and sometimes those cultures clashed, particularly in the way that they handle conflict. As Mi Li tells The List, "With the Asian culture, we really don't talk about feelings. We kind of hide it and we just have to deal with it ... And with him, he's from a Latin family, so they're loud, they're always fighting."

Fans saw the pair navigating these difficult waters during an explosive argument in episode 1. It was bad enough that many questioned whether or not Gray was actually abusive, according to the Daily Mail. As Men's Health put it, the actor's "alarming pattern of behavior" was "hard to watch." Gray's anger issues are exactly what drove the couple apart, but Mi Li blames his upbringing and admits that the actor has come a long way since what we saw on season 1.

"That's all he [sees] his mom and his dad do, and he thought that was a normal way of communicating," she tells The List of their argument in Paris. " But he was like this for 30 years of his life. And for him to be where he is now, which is super calm, and during some of our fight — not fights, but sometimes when we have arguments, disagreements — he's the one that's calming me down, which is like the complete opposite."
