The FL and SML's relationship is nice so far, but boring. SML comes off as a simp, willing to do anything for the girl who outright rejected him and bluntly admitted she has no feelings for him because she's in love with someone else. Will he turn evil or die as a nice simp? I understand this is a common trope in the genre, but I find myself disliking the SML simp archetype even more than the over-the-top villains.
I was thinking of starting this even though the EPs released are quite few..But I saw this ep13 clip and now I…
The FLxSML pairing is objectively NOT much better. Their relationship is boring compared to the exciting push and pull between the FL and ML. The SML is a simp who will most likely become obsess and evil.
What is the connection between 2ML and FL from the novel? Why is he so drawn to her after their brief encounter? Will the 2ML obsession with FL last for the entire drama? Can someone spoil this plot point for me? Thanks
cdrama is becoming too predictable they need to up their game!!Must they be cdrama where FL has two to three obsessed…
I don’t mind some of these tropes since they can bring much-needed conflict to a show. The issue, however, is in their execution. CDramas often handle them in a dull, uninspired, and sometimes downright frustrating manner. The second male lead obsessing over the female lead, or the petty jealousy arcs, are repeatedly forced on viewers in the same generic and predictable ways. There's no subtly or finesse. It's all generic. The source materials are often so much better.
What a convoluted mess. This show unraveled at the end. The Argan plot is so dumb. This show could've been clever and angsty like Flower of Evil but it failed miserably. The only good thing about this show is the leads' performances.
I love FL and 2ML interactions. They feel so natural. I’m currently liking him way more than ML. He’s so nice…
Their interactions and relationship are straight up boring. Plus he knew her a child while he was an adult, yet still carries a torch for her? Weird. lol
The SML briefly meets the FL when she is a child while he is an adult, and he is still obsessing over her because of some dream. I hope this isn't the start of a love triangle. This is so forced. Can someone tell me if this dynamic exists in the novel?
I stopped watching for a while. I will finish depending on the ending. I'm sick and tired of directors taking perfect HE and turning them into SE, or open-ended for no good reason other than to piss off the fanbase.
I'm afraid this might get an SE. Chinese dramas have a weird fetish for sad or unsatisfying happy endings. DZ teleporting to the battlefield after hearing that SM was ambushed felt extremely forced. Also, I don't fully trust Jiyong.
It seems like they created that fire to have the FL run over to find the ML and confess. That scene felt very contrived and lacked any real emotional punch. Second, I think they can still convey their message of equality without beating the audience over the head with it. Lastly, the wedding night sucked.
As expected it's not due to their gender restrictions and her being engaged (obv lol i mean who cares about Wei…
The FL has learned two important lessons so far: 1. She cannot control fate. Despite having knowledge of the future, many events are still beyond her influence. 2. This lifetime is not the same as the last. She realized this by observing how different her sister is in this incarnation.
Finally, I think the final lesson she’ll learn is that she can’t change everything on her own. Her belief that she can handle everything by herself is starting to crumble. Little by little, she’s realizing that, despite her best efforts, she can’t move mountains alone. These realizations will, I believe, open the door for her to finally let the ML in and fully trust him with her burdens.
marriage should not be a norm, having a kid should not connect to having a 'family,' and negatives of pregnancy…
Data is clear: countries like South Korea and Japan face significant challenges due to their low birth rates. Reproduction is fundamental to the sustainability of human civilization. Simply put, without procreation, populations decline towards extinction. Marriage, as an institution, has traditionally played a crucial role in this sustainability. As societies increasingly embrace anti-child and anti-marriage attitudes, they risk diminishing their own existence. The data is unequivocal; if current trends persist, South Korea could face demographic collapse within a century.
