I noticed that first thing too. And not just ML, his entire brotherhood/family seems to have this in their DNA.…
Bro, spot on. Blossoms went sideways towards the end. I'm still recovering from Moli from episode 30 onwards total disappointment. I do read manga got any recommendations?
I think you would prefer 2005-2010 shows. Have you watched the likes of Hana Yori Dango or playful kiss, where…
I'm not asking for misogynistic drama where the FL is constantly belittled, chased, or reduced to a prize to be won, nor do I want a story where one party does all the emotional labor while the other remains passive or indifferent. What I'm looking for is a balanced love story where the ML and FL equally show interest, curiosity, and effort in getting to know each other where attraction feels mutual and earned, not one-sided and instantaneous. Alternatively, I'd enjoy a slow burner romance that takes its time building tension through meaningful interactions, shared experiences, and gradual emotional intimacy rather than rushing into devotion. In this drama, however, the ML is already full-on simping in episode 01 he's instantly obsessed, making heart eyes, going out of his way to please her without any real buildup or reason, and basically surrendering all agency from the very first scene. It feels very cringe because there's no tension, no question of 'will they or won't they,' and no sense that the FL has to meet him halfway. It undermines any potential for a compelling dynamic and makes the whole thing feel cheap and unearned.
I gave this show a chance, but bro. So many things are off. Firstly I find it weird that ML just met FL once and Out of nowhere he is already obsessed with her, bro like from where to where, he even give flower that cloud his poison for someone he doesn't know. SO he values the life of someone he doesn't know over his life? Even after she cured herself, he still doesn't want to claim the flower back weird writing
I'm also tired of Strong Prince Trope pretending to be weak. I'm having hidden identity fatigue. seems like Cdrama writers are one demesional they can't figure something else than hidden identity trope
And we are 3 episode 3, and ML is already saying he loves FL very weird. I don't know who told Cdrama writers that ML being very obsessive of FL is romantic. That thing isn't romantic, but Cringe.
I'm tired of tropes, Princes pretending to be sickly while they are strong. Hidden identity, ML spying on FL nonstop. Honestly, these tropes I don't enjoy them. Meng Zi Yi is my favorite actress, but I'm sorry, I won't be continuing watching this drama. I will wait for Tigers Sniff the Rose, even in the trailer, the storyline looks promising.
Very disappointing ending. The ML will never be reunited with FL. He probably died in the war, and she is left alone mourning him forever. The show had potential, but somehow in the middle, the plot was lost.
The jealousy subplot in episodes 10 and 11. The male lead's behavior was cringey and embarrassing When he interrupted the female lead's reunion with her friend from Beijing. It felt like a humiliation ritual rather than a romantic gesture.
The ML mother is to blame for marrying such a bad man. Now her son, her mother and her are paying for her poor choice in man🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿🧐🧐🧐
