Back from the Brink Episode 3 Reactions
okay start, but despite having been homeless for 10 years she doesn't empathize with others much. Either she should be cold hearted (i'll even take tsundere) or very sweet b/c of the struggles, but she's neither. She didn't have any emotions for the fox girl who dies in front of her like she hasn't been talking and visiting her for at least a year. She's money hungry outta nowhere and doesn't care for the snake who wants the orb for saving his lover. ML is super honest and she knows cause the heartbeats but she's digging for any excuse to make him into a liar - the fact that she got kicked out by her only saviour doesn't seem to mean much to her either and despite being homeless yet again she doesn't have any plans but decides to not help ML anyways. Overall, we've already seen most of ML's character by ep 3, but FL is an empty shell without emotions or consistency. Even when she stood up for the spirits, it's like she's telling children the difnce between right and wrong rather than standing up for the innocent. All of that of course goes out the window pretty quickly when she beats up the snake spirit and forces him to give her the orb while telling him ' it's nothing personal~" Who actually wrote her character??

Well it is only episode 3 and I can't believe he stabbed her. I was totally caught off guard. The interaction between the leads is so good.

I am watching and following this series after I watched episode 1... Now I am always looking forward for the next episode and how the story goes... I love the visuals, especially the Main Roles

Many C-drama takes million years to connect or develop relationships, but this one is pretty fast. It's good to see fast pace of such is easy to watch. I'm bias to ML, so so far the rating is 10 up to this episode. But I only worry How he will take back his heart while it's in ML. aagggrrrrr. Hope this is not the sad ending. Many C-drama fantasy don't end well. Grossing my fingers.
