Underrated

I feel like people who read novel or favor other series seems to unnecessary insult this series. The story already strongly set the standpoint of Aoey and Genlong character. You have to understand their standpoint very well so everything make sense.

Genlong is very self-centred though she always choose the best choice and take care Aoey in Genlong's perspective.
Aoey is always indulge Genlong and always care for Genlong. She can follow every decision Genlong make.

You can see them since kids era, Genlong always use Aoey as her maid but always take care her and treat her as mate while Aoey always indulge Genlong's selfishness and do everything for Genlong without any reason (ex. she never reject Genlong for a single time when she use her as maid)

The same for adults era, Ep3 Genlong decided to set their relationship as "mate" (which she believe it's the best for them in that moment) and Aoey indulge Genlong and said that she will always be by Genlong's side in every position.

Ep6-8 They ended up loving each other but Genlong has to forcedly leave Aoey due to difficult situation and condition because it's the best for them, so both of them can separately recover up, tho Genlong want Aoey to hate her and move on because she thinks she might die and don't want Aoey to wait for her.

When they meet again (3 years) Genlong and Aoey still love each other but Genlong want Aoey to move on, Genlong believe that Ten will take care Aoey better than her if they get married so Genlong decided to leave Aoey to Ten and set their relationship as "mate" but this time, Genlong is the one who said that she will always be by Aoey's side in every position ,then even tho Aoey already knew the story about Genlong is the one who help her when they were separating, Aoey indulge Genlong again and try to love Ten for Genlong's replacement and try to marry him. But luckily (for us), Ten is a cheater so Genlong realized that no one can be as good as her to take care Aoey and she doesn't want to see Aoey to get manipulated and take advantage (mentioned in Ep4) so she finally decided to get marry with Aoey and take care her by herself.

So people arguing that if Ten is a good person, then Aoey and Genlong won't ended up together? the answer is YES, because Aoey will do everything to follow Genlong's decision, and I believe that Aoey will love Ten in the future since Ten is a good person and always take care Aoey very well even tho it takes her effort and time to move on. Genlong will also move on and find her new partner as well. This series has 2 ending, Aoey be with Genlong or Aoey be with Ten, depends on Ten's character.

For the series it's actually about 2 Characters' decision who want to indulge each other for the best so emotion involved, not every decision is right. The watchers are only outsider so for me, this series is still reasonable and being my most favorite so far. "Mate" is very fit for the series concept and when Genlong upgrade "mate" to "soulmate" is sheeshhhhh.
