Well, the C-drama writers all have a Master's degree in how to make FLs look incompetent (even the ones supposedly smart/badass) by making her be constantly rescued by all her love interests in the name of pushing this way f'n romance down our throats.

Normally I ask myself "how did she stay alive before meeting them?", but at least this one here already died before, so I can skip this question for once.

She has a group of bodyguards around her, and yet ML still comes unannounced to her bed; kind of like a flying Superman, if quoting you.

As I said, plot armour was strong in this one; especially in presenting ML as a Super Marty Sue on steroids, with his perfect looks, intelligence, strategising, Martial Arts ability, etc...
He was so perfect that it persuaded a majority of female viewers that he is a perfect boyfriend despite his behaviour being worthy of a manipulative creep.

There were many ways to make a female lead more equal to him; I'm just watching "Kill My Sins" with a truly smart female lead, who, despite her low status, can go toe-to-toe with the most powerful people in Kingdom.
And she doesn't have to sniff things like a dog to achieve it.
How did it happen? The writers made her the smartest person in the story; unlike in BoP, where everyone plays 2nd fiddle to the ML.
Everything starts and ends with writing.

To be honest, I really don't know what we are discussing here :)
Cheers

You keep mixing obsession with feelings.

And discussing plot armour like "he saved her 10 times" doesn't really make sense; it's the ML being there that makes writers write female leads who need constant saving.,
If he weren't there, obsessed or not, it would mysteriously give writers the guts to write stronger, more capable FLs who don't need constant saving.

Nobody asked him to do that.
The fact that he had a one-sided obsession with the female lead doesn't make her owe him anything.
If this were the case, too many women would have to marry a psycho like ML, and he wouldn't be a Crown Prince in their case.

"The one who's obsessed with her?:

In this drama, it reads more like a riddle than a statement, as pretty much eweryone seeem to be obsessed with her.

Ugh, lucky bastard ;).

Of course it can, lol.

Imagine dropping a guy or just taking a step back when you learnt he is a manipulative and lying PoS.
Then, someone else rescues you from the fire, and when you wake up, instead of your maids, you see your ex sitting next to your bed; officially trying to feed you medicine, but in reality threatening you that he can get to you any time he wants.
Then, you go on a mission to save your friend; he tags along to "support you", while telling you he knows your best friend's secret.
What a lowey-dowey guy, lol.
I know a "handsome ML plot armour" was strong in this one, but let's call it like it is.
In real life, you would be asking for a restraining order instead of dreaming about somebody like him.

Calling Wang Chu Ran "cute" is an understatement of the century :).

She is very sweet in "Are You the One?", at least until she puts a hairpin in someone's neck :).
She also looks outrageously beautiful there.

Another one thinking having an obsessed stalker in real life would be fun. Lol.

Whoa, a rare female-centric drama without romance; maybe I will give it a shot after finishing "Killing My Sins".

I really enjoyed Ep 1, maybe I will give it a shot.
There are some camera angles when the female lead looks outrageously beautiful.

It's the 2nd post about this phenomenon (the ML in Blossom of Power was also an obsessed/pestering type...) I see it on MDL during the last 24 hours.
It's probably too much summer heat bringing a rare common-sense opinion to MDL.
Cheers.

I was trying to be ironic; sorry, no green font here ;(

And yes, it's not my thing as well. Especially Rebirth, lol.

Peace.

I'm sure you would love to order some highly ranked online service, which would be mid at best in reality, just because people have personal preferences and can rate it however they want to push up its rating.

LOL, BoP got like 6.3 at Douban, which means it's a slightly above-average show. Which is more or less correct.

Here, at MDL, it constantly feels like when playing NBA 2k series, where any player who can dribble gets a rating of 90+.
And it's getting worse every year, both with MDL and NBA2K; I guess it's not accidental.

+1.

At least it's not ML from there with the Evil Eunuch facial expression.

Can I have the honour of being the first one to call you HATER? :)
How dare you nitpick like that?

Btw, after reading synopsis I had some hopes for this one, but they were lowered quickly by watching Trailer and now they got trashed further by bringing The Double.
Ugh :(
