Prefer legal sites :) Viki says it’s coming soon, so I’ll just wait for that

Just finished episode 1. I have no idea what’s going on, but they’re all pretty to look at! 😂

She does… sort of… She kinda becomes the empress of Susha at the end, but it isn’t a happy ending for her romance :/

I put the show on hold because it very much gave me those vibes :/ I didn’t watch a lot though.

I dropped litc because of the dragged out lies 👀Happy to know I’m not the only one who hated it lol

Not a lot, certainly not as much as when I was in my The Vampire Diaries fandom like ten or more years ago. For someone who doesn’t have friends into Asian dramas like I am, I will take whatever bit I can get 😂

Oh yeah for sure. I still think it’s impressive that this one climbed from like a down rated 7.8 to an 8.5 in a few days.

🤷🏼‍♀️Eh, you might see something different. Unless I get the impression that there’s a shift in the show’s dynamics, it will probably end up on my Not Interested list. Someone on Tumblr made a post that said, “More men on their knees 2026!” with Glory tagged in it. Huuuuugggeee turn off for me 😕

I love seeing the ratings on this go up, both on here and on Viki. I should probably just start it 😂Although I’ve read that the first five episodes or so are not great.

1) Not really. Obsessive SML, but it doesn’t last long.
2) Don’t remember, but the attraction is there by like episodes 5-6. The internet says their first kiss is in episode 17.
3) No breakup. Very brief ML memory loss later on. Lasts maybe one episode
4) HE for the main couple 😃

Makes sense. I ultimately put it on hold so I can wait and see. I watched the first half of the first episode and wasn’t completely sold on it. Mainly because I watch shows for romance and it just seemed very focused on the Rong women and very little screen time with the ML. Nothing wrong with that, it just isn’t what gets me into shows. And I wasn’t impressed with the male representation in the show. Most of the male cast besides the ML were either assholes or servants. It did strike me as very heavy on the women > men theme, similar to Blossoms in Adversity. Again, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, but it just isn’t personally my thing 🙂And from what I’ve heard about the next handful of episodes it doesn’t really change.

Awessoome because those are themes I am 💯 interested in. Thank you!

So I historically struggled to get into idol dramas because I am just not into watching music videos during the shows, the concerts, or getting into the music. I ended up dropping Love Me Love My Voice because it just became too heavy on the music aspect of it and I found it cringe. I’m just not a music person myself. BUUUUUTTTT the plot of this show looks really interesting, as do some of the gifs and scenes I’ve seen on Tumblr. Is this one heavy on the music and the “idol” part of the drama, or is it more focused on the murder case, the ML’s trauma and the FL? The FL seems pretty great.

P.S. I also dropped Lovely Runner because the FL drove me crazy after she woke up a high schooler 😅Pls don’t hate me.

Cool. I don’t have a problem at all with matriarchs. If the ML isn’t useless / dumb / simp / a pushover then it doesn’t sound like it’ll bother me. ‘Preciate the response 🙂

Emasculated - that’s a good word. I guess I didn’t get those vibes as much from SL. I think I thought it was just a little slow and I wanted more of the ML’s edginess 😂

I enjoyed Shadow Love as well :) Do you like this show, too?

Yeah this is exactly what I mean- thanks for articulating it better than me 😊I get turned off when one gender is boosted by putting down the other. I’m wondering if this show gives off those vibes.

So I fully anticipate getting some hate for this question, but I am hoping some understanding people will shed a bit of light on the dynamic with the leads in this one. I am getting the sense from the comments that the power dynamics are heavily in favor of the women in this show, with the men being weaker / meaner / more useless. I have nothing against women who can fight / kick ass / are the antihero coldhearted tropes, but I do get turned off when it’s often portrayed at the expense of the male characters. Like I wasn’t the biggest fan of Blossoms in Adversity for this reason. I liked Shadow Love a little bit more, but even at times I wasn’t a fan of how they portrayed the ML prior to him getting his memories back. However I LOVED LOVED Fated Hearts, when the power dynamics are equal. What do you guys think of this one? I’m kinda on the fence.

Mmhmm all of this 💯

Eek there was literally an episode when the ML had less than one minute of screen time 😞I hope this isn’t gonna be the norm. I didn’t care as much for other popular shows like The Double and Rebel Princess because of how little screen time the MLs had. At this rate the SML should have been listed as the ML. 😕 I also reeeeaaallly hope this doesn’t develop into a love triangle.
