I’ve blocked more account in the last couple of days than in the past few months.

Current theory is that it’s likely to be one of the companies helping with post-production work or doing subtitles. But it’s almost definitely someone with insider access at one of those places and not a random hacker who stole the files.

Yes, this needs to be a pinned comment. Thank you! 😊

He’s an example of what ML could’ve been if things went wrong

That’s why the bad guys installed him on the throne. He’s a puppet emperor 🥺

Even without leaks, there are always people who rate a drama after 1-2 days and claim they’ve watched all 30-40 episodes. It’s very annoying, especially because it’s always the antis/haters/trolls.

Seems like ever leaks happened, there’s been a deluge of new/fake troll accounts. I strongly encourage everyone to check account history before engaging with them — if it looks like a troll account, just block it without responding.

I totally get your point. But that doesn’t meant that everyone likes them — that’s why even friends like different kind of dramas and why here on MDL people disagree on just about everything :)

Yeah, FP was only 32 episodes so not sure why they couldn’t wrap it up in 40 episodes total. Then first 14-15 (?) episodes of season 2 were just the leads taking turns suffering and/or being in jail 🙄

P.S. In my version of events, the evil princess was the one who ordered the murder of the evil ex at the end, hehe 😉

Yes, I’m even sure that many times the tropes/etc. are there at request of director/producers.

BTW, have you watched K-drama “Because This Is My First Life”? It’s a great drama in itself (probably best combo of comedy & drama), but beginning of the first episode is worth a watch by itself. FL plays a secondary screenwriter and they absolutely roast ridiculous product placements in dramas 🤣🤣🤣

Haha… I’m a guy, so let’s agree to take 1 lead each. WCR is 🥰

Thank you for a very thorough response.
Even for adaptions, I think screenwriting matters a lot, especially because sometimes they just use some basic details but change a lot of things for the drama (both in K and C dramas).
One of the main reasons I’ve rewatched Are You the One multiple times is because it’s my go-to drama when I’m fed up & tired of tropes, cliches, illogical decisions and other nonsense.

I like Netflix subs although they call Princess as Grand Princess not Princess Royal :) For song lyrics I either watch the same place on Tencent or view lyrics/translation videos from Peachy Blossom on YouTube :)

Sigh 😔… I really hope they start paying screenwriters more money to come up with better scripts. Long episode counts should be justified mostly for truly epic adaptations like The Immortal Ascension (which, coincidentally, only has 30 episodes in season 1). We roughly estimated it’d take 9-10 seasons to cover both volumes of the source books 😳🤯

33 episodes are out as of today (on Netflix, Tencent, iQIYI). Last episode is scheduled to be released on March 30 (Netflix). We don’t know yet about express package availability.

I don’t think FL really cares about that (it was mostly other people joking about it).
FL is just afraid to be with ML because of who her dad is and how it relates to ML’s dad and to events 17 years ago.
But every main character knows Princess doesn’t want to be with ML. The Princess sent eunuch to ML knowing full well that eunuch may not survive 😁🤣

He’s missing his wife and wants to reconcile with her. But she’s afraid to be with him because of who her father is and how it relates to ML’s dad and to events 17 years ago.

This emperor is a prime example of why I would never want to be an emperor. They are usually not very powerful, are too restricted and are forced to navigate between interests of different clans. Sounds like a giant headache 🤕

Fated Hearts still has 8.8 somehow even though only first 15-16 episodes were great and the rest were written by aliens 👽 who abducted earlier screenwriters (first time I’ve watched a drama on 2x or 3x).

Thank you for the write up! ML didn’t even give up his revenge or anything like that. He’s been investigating it himself and was already suspecting there was something fishy with the the official version. And since FL and her sister were attacked by assassins multiple times, it only gave more credibility to the fact that her dad may indeed be innocent. Maybe people who make these complaints should pay more attention 🧐
