i dropped it
The only reason I didn't watch this drama is because of the second lead. I can't stand seeing him sad when the main lead and female lead end up together. No matter what, I always end up liking the second lead more than the main lead. I don't know why they always give the second lead such a complicated and sad side story. I just hate love triangles.
I don’t know, I was going to rewatch this until episode 20, but after that, I’m just not giving it any more of my time. I’ve watched so many C-dramas and K-dramas, and it’s the same formula over and over for C-dramas—if it’s a long story with 24+ episodes, you already know what’s coming. They start falling in love from episodes 10 to 15, then confess by 17 or 18, show all this lovey-dovey, low-key romance, then bam, they suddenly break up in episodes 20 to 21. Then, of course, they get back together, and the melodrama with both families drags on. I’m just so used to this predictable pattern that it doesn’t even catch my attention anymore. At first, the drama was great—chemistry was on point, both leads were nice—but once the story shifted toward the second lead, I dropped it. I just can’t deal with another love triangle. Honestly, the only modern cdramas I’ve liked after 2020 are ones like Lighter and Princess, Hidden Love, When I Fly Towards You, Only for Love, Gen Z, Falling Into Your Smile, Parallel Love (it wasn’t that bad), You Are My Glory, Unforgettable Love, and others like them—simple, neat storylines with no complications. That’s why I enjoy historical or fantasy dramas from China more; they don’t drag through the same tired love triangle and melodrama crap.
