LivV

When I saw him and the other members of the cast, I said people were going to stone him to death lol. And let's be honest, he is among the least attractive males in the cast. But somehow, I like him for that, and I love the character their gave him in the series.

I think them altering the future must have already been on their timeline s check point. In RMP, which would be around 20 years or plus , the ml is alive, the alliance is still going strong, and the third série will be about his son. So maybe them changing the future is just a normal continuation in their timeline than an anomaly that may change it.

I think he is doing fine. On the first case with the spider demon, he did come to get the demon s core so he could appease the obvious feud between the demons and the first villain s family. While the female lead may though it was an hazardous meeting, he deliberately met with her so he could get those strands of her hair that could help him win the fight.
With the second case, while the FL came to save one person, and some hurt demons in the process, he let things follow theirs course, saboting them secretly so he could take down the family and show to the alliance that those weapon made with the core of demons were too dangerous to manipulate. Nobody except his group knew the plan failed only because they mingled with it.
In the marriage case, the main goal was to take down for good the remnant of the previous case, and have a control on the bureau. Things did escalated only because the bride s family betrayed them and went ahead doing they own thing because they did not accept the groom. ML somewhat won his greater goal, but lost the people he vowed to protect in the process.
In the current arc, the only plan was to bring his lover back, but was ready to die with her than letting her go havock and burn the world.
Of course he has his flaws and wtf moments, but overall, he is doing quite fine with me.

I won't say it's terribly written. Her family live in seclusion because they don't want to mingle in the vicious fighting of the other noble families in the alliance. ML is in the center of it, and it's normal for her to have an already bad impression of him. And both times she had dealt a case with him, he had disappointed her. On the other hand , the mask man represents the ideal she may find in someone, basing on her personality. Unrestrained, heroic , upright and powerful. The fact that his mask she found ridiculous could not stop her from asking him out on a date shows how impressed she was with him . I won't say it was love at first sight at all, but 2 people fairly interested with each other and took the opportunity to explore anything this fling may bring. The complication for me was the fact she did not know the mask man and ML were the same person, and the rejection was pretty normal to see for me because at the end of the day, being the mask man was the " side job" of the ML.
Now, after the time traveling arc, since they met again, should be where their story would actually start, since now all the cards are laid down.

I suspected she was someone else the time she said she could not trust either men telling her who she was. And I think she was created to balance the personality of FL and black fox. She is a demon, but don't seem to be that evil. When she was introduced, she seemed to be perfectly chill with everything , and the scene where the man rushed to her to ask for justice showed me that it was not her first time, and the people in sky city were used to that. We never saw her mistreating her servants and guards, but I can't really count on that because we never saw her bursting in anger with her attendants standing around her . She started to hurt them only when she knew she could feed on their hatred, and was doing so to power up so she could go against both men who wanted her to disappear.
This said, she was not that good either lol. That aphrodisiaque scene in EP 13 was diabolical. And she took great pleasure teasing the ML just because she could, and because she knew he would not try to hurt her back.

Lol. The time traveling Arc left more questions than answers for me. ML and FL seems to be both linked to the black fox, with ML being linked to the tree and FL being the vessel. But How the tree is exactly tied to the black fox? The last villain ( forgot his name) came to the future with FL because 20 years from the future was the perfect alignment to get Black fox back, while the tree made his apparition to everyone about 2 years in the future. How are those 2 events tied?
I am really liking the story so far, and find the ML s character very interesting. I saw some people being disappointed with him in the time traveling arc, but the man was against a powerful demon . Lol the fact that he gave them a hard time even at his lowest should show how they are different in range. But I love the fact that ML is ready to die for the woman he loves just to save her, but won't burn the world just to let her live . That's quite a fine balance for me.

Ooh right. That makes sense

Wouldn't they be in in red moon pact timeline instead? FL is the aunt of the ML of this series.

I was totally disappointed in ML when he got Nangon junior in prison. I sighed and thought " here is a new redondant annoying villain that will continue to cause havoc because the heros are too upright to just straight kill him". Then ML gave his punishment. Well I am now part satisfied that hopefully we will not see him again, and part horrified because that was a diabolical move from ML.

Don't forget that her clan chose to live in seclusion too, away from the noble family s power struggle. She already have her opinion on the other families, which is why she told the ML she thought he was different when she discovered his initial plan. And maybe she is a little disappointed too since she thought he was trying to court her with the help of his friends.

The problem with Yuri is that he is not listening to her at all. Each time he made a move on her, he saw her pulling back. He even know she is not interested in him, whether she likes someone else or not. He confessed to her in private and in public, still she did neither accept or reciprocate his feelings. Still he proposed. Needless to say, all the characters in the show have serious issues and Yuri is among the kindest. But still, forcing a relationship into someone who is not interested in you in the sake of fighting for love is for me a big red flag.

For the villain, they really went " what if someone is rotten to core, vicious, cunning as hell, with soap opera drama acting skills, but is still a very introverted and timid person truthfully?" Lol, the man is a one of a kind of villain, an the actor did a good job confusing the heck out of me.

I am not sure he actually wants to put his feelings in the relationship. He does fancy her, but he is seeing the bigger picture. Considering that he is not well, and the original plan was to get a mother for his daughter, and not a wife for himself, he thinks he is doing the right thing. Besides he asked her opinion about romantic relationship, and she told him it was not what she was looking for. He insisted and told her if it was what she really wanted, she said yes. If it was not her mother making her see love and companionship in a new light, making her want to explore her own feelings and nourishing the thought that he might love her back too, she would have been less disappointed in his proposal. And this changes happened just several days after their conversation.
. If he is really dying, he is leaving her a way out without sleeping with her, and in helping her build her power. He even told her in the preview of 17 that if it's not something she is looking for, he will retreat. For me, the deal he offer is a good one. If I was dying too and needed the person I happen to love close to me for some reason, I would not want to engage in any romantic relationship with them to ease their burdens ( because there will be) after I am gone.

He even tilted his head in the right position, so their noses could not crash. And the man's. eyes were more than half closed.

Going to rewatch the whole series again before the final 2. Everything make so much sense now that the web is being untangled. The fact that he never intended to marry I Na in the first place ( I laughed so hard when I figured he might be the one sending the DNA to her, before HJ confronted him about that), his childhood and him calling his wife his light, weakness, and no much other things that made us understand how he coped with everything all those years, him planning his way out from the family from the start, everything is explained well. There are things that still need to be clear, like the relationship between the elders in the 2 family, but so far, the writers have done their job right. Definitely one of the best series I watched this year. I trust them to deliver a great finale to us

The first minute of episode 8 made me smile. When most of us were asking what the heck was going on in the park , the scene when SA were packing HJ s bag made it clear. The writers are in full control of their work.

I do think that may happen. Like the paper they sent I Na . She said it was meant to scare her away, so I am sure it is not about SE being an adopted son. And if the case reveal that young SE was indeed a psycho, this may be redirected to our ml. Anyway, I have not watched 8 yet, so I hope they won't take that direction

Like please, stand strong together please 🥺. I am already stressed for SE since everyone will think that he is the actual psychopath when there will be more clues about the case

Right ?? And the thank you part made me feel like he was terminating the whole négociation going on since EP 1, as they both reached an ending satisfying both parties.

It was Indeed a very childish put for the scène🤣🤣
