so a simple country girl can not be sweet and loveable? How does it take away from her character it is her character.…
I am. My point is is it's not looking good. I hope I'm wrong. Because I'm gonna be really annoyed if that is how it plays out.

It's not so much being dumb as not having enough information to make a better decision. She is in the dark about…
She's not in the dark about who the Strategist is and his role in the war. She's very clear on that.

I've done that multiple times, this isn't my first time bringing this up, so I'm not going to go into all the details. But as I've said in this thread, if the prince food exchange plays out like it seems it would...that's an example of being a dummy. You know the Strategist. You don't think for a second to run it by him before you do anything? You're just a pretty, dumb, brute who can't think things through for a second?

I’m glad they didn’t make her a Mary Sue. She isn’t some genius who happens to be a great fighter. She’s…
You know the Strategist and instead of asking him what does he think about your bright idea is to trade a PRINCE for food???? C'mon. But that's not the only thing I've said as this isn't my first time bringing this up.

Once again...there's a reason I said "sometimes" - I've said more than once that it is something they lean into at times and I don't understand why b/c it's not necessary and takes away from the character.

TXW can probably get away with it whereas it would have been quite grating with other actresses? I recall some…
Agree on other roles. New Life Begins she's a bit ditzy but not dumb. That's the difference. She was sheltered and unworldly, but never came across as a dummy, tho a bit ditzy...they walked a fine line there but it worked.

I agree! I’m getting annoyed that her character comes across as uncouth and ignorant, just like her master called…
No. I love it. Best long drama I've watched in awhile. There is just some things that annoy me. I feel like c-dramas can at times go to extremes with their female characters. And it's like b/c they made her super strong that had to make her a "sweet little dummy" to balance it out. And that's just kinda unnecessary.

I've done that already. Multiple times.

Dumb isn't harsh. That's my point. They SOMETIMES make her out to be dumb. That's not the same as uneducated. It's okay that she doesn't know things or understand some words...but the name thing for example...was that even necessary? What's the deal with making her out to be a dummy?

People she literally knows and is friends with the Strategist - if she had ANY idea and wasn't sure about it she could literally go ask him if it's okay and what he thought. IF they have her just unilaterally take a prisoner and trade for supplies - then they are making her into a pretty, dummy who can't think her way out of a paper bag. It's just a strange way to write a character when we are over half way through the series and expecting some level of growth.

But c'mon. Even the lowliest of army soldiers would know not to take a prisoner who is a PRINCE without permission and trade him for FOOD. One second of thought and you might realize how having him helps keep everyone safe OR at least run the idea by someone. You know the STRATEGIST for goodness sake. Like "Hey, I have this idea to get us more supplies" - They play her like a pretty, brute, dummy. Like there's nothing but air between her ears.

Simple and naive aren't the same as bumpkin. I've clearly made that distinction multiple times. Being uneducated is one thing. Being dumb is another. They aren't synonymous.

No it's not cute. It's not cute at all. She just comes across as pretty and dumb. Not enjoyable in the least. Nothing wrong with being uneducated, but sometimes they play her like she can't think her way out of a paper bag.

Once again, you can be unwordly and uneducated and not be a bumpkin. You can not know things, but still be able to think things through. You can ask if you don't know. They play her as a dumb brute who can't think her way out a paper bag...sometimes...that's unnecessary. And cheapens the character. Because it makes her just a pretty, strong, bumpkin. Who survives on brute force and dumb luck.

Yeah. I am HOPING that sequence of her trading ol'boy for food and supplies isn't as simple as it seems. The book just has her go down the side of the mountain for salt - so it they make it that she (without anyone's permission) takes a high value political prisoner and trades him for food...I'm gonna feel some kind of way.

I don't need her to be a Mary Sue - but there's a lane between Mary Sue and Country Bumpkin. Being uneducated doesn't mean dumb...they play her as dumb sometimes and that's lame.

I didn't say anything about her being a simple country girl. I said a country bumpkin.
Replying to Lyrry 28 days ago
Changyu is never annoying. She is the most adorable, lovable, bad ass female lead in a cdrama I watched. Well…
I disagree a bit. The simple country bumpkin way they occasionally write her is annoying and unnecessary.
On Pursuit of Jade 28 days ago
I'll say it again - it's one thing to make her humble and naive. It's another thing to make her a simple country bumpkin. The latter is unnecessary. I don't like it and I think it takes away from her character.
