okay so am I the only one confused about this story's plot?
Also it feels so dragged out.
I can't even remember the amount of times they let JL go like he's done nothing. I haven't even finished the drama but what irks me is that each time they know Jiang Luo is responsible for an attempted assassination or he's up to no good. Even though Jiang Luo is being guided by Xie Chongjin & later on Shi Feixian, he's still a bad guy for agreeing with their plans.
So why tf do our FL & ML not have someone watching his movements? Also, they can't do anything because he's the second prince? The Royal family also keeps babying him saying JL is harmless & a kid but here he's trying to harm his brother and others....It's annoying seeing the ML & FL not do a thing about him and drag him and others being an antagonist for too long. Also the FL goes to make a deal with JL & still has time to argue with him like a kid & treat him like a kid when he tried to kill her dad? Shouldn't you bear a grudge? How could you keep talking to such a guy? They don't deal with Xie Chongjin properly either...
This show was better when the Grandma was alive & Tiger Tally was main focus, but now it's going downhill for me. I hope it gets better soon.

Edit- I finished the drama just now. Kinda disappointed. Idk why we have dramas with this flawless ML who got brains and strength and can do anything but they can't give that to a FL character because they think it's unrealistic??? This drama is a perfect example of taking strong FL literally. She's strong and can do martial arts & be a better fighter than most men. But when it comes to brains, she's slow to pick these things up. She's also impulsive. They have the ML know martial arts and he's smart to come up with plans. They mentioned near end how Ban Hua learned military tactics, but I saw barely anything..Half of this drama wouldn't progress to the point if our FL wasn't impulsive. She confronted Shi Feixian instead of thinking it out with Rong Xia & Rong Xia also followed her impulsiveness to protect her. Then we have a bunch of episodes showing Feixian go evil & Ban Hua not coming up with a decent plan to save her parents but acts out of impulsiveness & gets herself drugged & held captive.
I also don't feel the "love" between BH & RX. They say it and they go through a lot of effort to save each other but it's not convincing for me for some reason.

The nice part of this drama is Ban family. The side couples Du Jiu & Softy, Ban Heng & Wanyu. Ban Huai & Xie's bickering but then becoming best buddies.

I disagree. She did not use her brain at all. All that you mentioned is circumstantial evidence. Her brain never thought of investigating properly till after her pill broke & she realized her feelings for him. Feelings set aside, you'd still have a proper investigation before making a conclusion.
She did not do any of those things. A simple dream was her confirmation that he's a culprit. She didn't ask witnesses and see if he has an alibi since he was at his own palace at the time of incident and rushed over after they died. Did his guards see him in his palace? If she doesn't believe them, then she could've done the same as she did after her pill broke. She could've confirmed once again by asking person in charge of dreams (perhaps RY wouldn't expect her to go to him & have him killed then). She didn't talk to the emperor and ask why he's quiet about her father's case. She didn't do a proper investigation then. She only did it after.
How can he explain when she never confronted him about the dream? He got killed because she never told him about the dream. His fault is that he didn't investigate his mom properly. He suspects her but didn't check if her powers weakened. He can't even pin the blame on his mom if she asks because his mom is imprisoned and makes no sense for his mom to kill while imprisoned.
There is no perfect person I agree.
Also I never said a strong FL have to hold a sword and fight. There's many characteristics of a strong FL. I know a strong FL doesn't have to be someone who's great at fighting. I've watched a few dramas with strong FL incapable of physically fighting, but they can fight in other ways for themselves and others.

yea but at the same time I can understand why they did that. The Eve's vocal abilities and dancing was really the best but like they said, they stand out individually and don't work as a team. It felt like some of them were too arrogant. I felt bad for Da yeon cause even though she was like others wanting good parts, she was immediately shut down by the group when she suggested to try the other parts and make a choice based off of who does best. Then when she brings it up in the evaluation her team members and leader blame her for not communicating?? But the thing is that the leader failed to do her part and also is too intimidating for others to open up to. So I think it's a good lesson for them to improve their leadership & teamwork. Also maybe they did get some praises (I know Shana did) but Mnet cut it out who knows. Mnet cuts a lot of stuff out.

same!

I don't understand the direction of the show either. Someone's comment explained the same thing that the judges are judging based off WOW factor & preferences. So they're not even considering dancing technique. Cause some of the results from the judging made me question them. It doesn't make sense for me either why Monika and Honey J are there as contestants when they can become judges themselves, but I guess they did it for publicity?
I would be fine with the current judges as long as they added 3-4 more judges with different preferences and experience. They're judging based off of what they like and some people's dancing styles may not suit their tastes (like Yell's B-girl) which can be seen as a sort of bias. There's no diversity between the judges. Most people are attacking Taeyong, but BoA and the other dude who is a choreographer made some questionable decisions too.

Where are the kids?!
I thought ep 32 would at least show them have babies after YT having accomplished his dream.
But they ended the drama after they hugged and rocket launch complete.
I was expecting more and was in disbelief that the ending was there.

I also felt that too.
But also in general I feel like they should've had judges from different areas/background? (BoA & TY are idols.)
Hwang Sang Hoon choreographed a lot of SM groups/soloists, then you have BoA and Taeyong from SM too. It might be just me, but it just looks bad having everyone related to SM. They do invite others later on as guests, but still.

I feel so bad for TY because he's getting attacked the most by people too since he's a young idol and he's probably nervous about it. The logic they use for him is also applicable to BoA. Some of the contestants can dance way better than her & have been dancing the same amount of time as her or longer.

If they really wanted to bring TY in then they should've added 2 more judges that no one would complain about like Lia Kim from 1million dance studio. But it actually makes no sense because some of the leaders who are there are contestants just as good as Lia.

As a viewer who doesn't know a thing about street dancing, I found few things to complain about when it came to the judging. But that's me. Experienced dancers probably think differently.
(From my pov, I think TY did fine overall, it was that Gabee vs Aiki battle but then again that experienced dance director Hwang also made the same choice as him soo I don't know what to say + you can't attack TY solely on that case)
Then that B-girl Yell vs Zsun battle I think there was no need for a rematch but after seeing the rematch I could see why all 3 chose the same person but still? Why even a rematch?)
Also BoA chose Simeez when I thought it was clear Lee Jung won.
Yeah it comes down to tastes.
But they definitely should've brought diverse judges.

watched 4 eps so far..
ugh in this day and age people have cellphones and still don't use it right.
I understand Paeng's pain and I cheer for her when she teaches those people a lesson back.
The only part I don't like is her obsession with the ML, but I understand she's attached to him because he was nice to her initially. But girl, don't cling onto a man who doesn't know why you're misbehaving in school. He never asked you why you got in trouble.

Also I get she's young but still if she knows that these people don't treat her right and what their true colors why not gather evidence to prove yourself.
When Nang bullied her in school she should've recorded all the stuff Nang told her and provided her dyed skirt as evidence. Play all the recordings in front of their faces.
And same for Arthit's mom. She should've recorded the mom tossing her clothes out & every bad thing the maids have said about her.
Then give it to the Uncle to see.

update-
close to finished. and this drama started off from me hating it --> starting to like --> starting to get irritated --> mixed feelings of hate and like.

soo I was liking the maturity of our FL but some matters I wish she would actually stand up.
Arthit's mom never changes till like the END and our FL gives up on her feelings because of his mom? seriously? why not take a stand for yourself. Why's it gotta be the typical female gotta make a sacrifice for the good.
also I wished this drama didn't turn this into a "Men can pick up things faster than women. Women are slow on some matters. Let's hide details from women and keep them in the dark" segment.
Arthit could've had Ling & Non tell Paeng about what Mark did to them & Paeng could've tried to be more careful? Paeng did keep a distance but sometimes idk why she would go to Mark which repeated the same scenes of Arthit getting furious.
I'm glad she got evidence and wasn't dumb & used her phone right.

I don't like Arthit's mom at all. She was never redeemed imo. Bad till the end. Even the servants were better.
Paeng's dad actually suicided (they never went into details about this)? That's messed up that he didn't think of the responsibility he had. She suffered being an orphan when he could raise her single handedly. But it's confusing how he kept telling Paeng that the adults will deal with it but he didn't deal with anything by committing suicide.

but overall not so bad

It's not an excuse. There's countless of other dramas, animes, and other shows who show people who are good at fighting and good in battle tactics, but when it comes to real life they're slow to understand things.
Those characters do exist. I have multiple examples, so it's not impossible for someone with a title such as that to be slow to pick up things out of their expertise.

RY was reading through the books his mom had left and was curious about JM's change in behavior. He was thinking why before she didn't know about concept of love, but now she suddenly changed and is fully devoted to one person (XF). Yes, he knew about the memory wiping pill after regaining his memories, but that wasn't what triggered his search. It's because he picked up the change in JM's behavior. Then, he remembered all the stuff Floral Realm told him and figured out about Yun Dan pill.
I guess it's pointless to argue about who's smarter and who's not because you have a point XF didn't pick up the change in her behavior and even if he did he assumed it to be due to her mortal trial. Not because of a pill.

I stand by what I said before while agreeing about your comment that people who know truth and do nothing about it are bad as well.
No matter how much RY suffered, he could've brought justice and avenged his mother's death in a different way. Fighting XF was inevitable, but the fact that he used underhanded methods and gambled on JM to take revenge was where he went wrong. Because he knew XF was innocent, but never told JM the truth of what he has learned from his investigation. He kept lying to her about investigation being closed & he doesn't know why it was suddenly closed. He knew it wasn't XF and he didn't bother searching for the killer either. Why? Because it would've helped him a lot if XF is suspected as the killer. That's why he changed dream color. Yes, he learned that Sui He was the killer later on, but he did investigate enough to learn XF was not the killer before the wedding.

I understand your point about the concubines. It sorta makes sense although the drama kept emphasizing that they were waiting for Water & Wind's child and how RY is single because they won't have a child. If that was the case, idk why the emperor didn't order the Water to marry other concubines throughout all those years if he were to marry his son to the daughter of Water Immortal with any woman.

And you keep missing my point. I said after the mortal trial, JM is clear about loving XF. That's when I'm saying RY should've backed off. Before JM kept saying she loved everyone. But the moment she was clear about who she loved, he should've backed off. JM confessed she loved XF & RY was able to see that she was devoted to love one person. She wasn't the same before. Her pill cracked & she was able to feel love. It was arranged marriage when she didn't know about love, but later on she felt love after her trial.

Also, the contract can be broken. I think you're just remembering the start of the drama where he mentions the decree and Zi Fen saying she was betrayed by love. If you remember later on, the Water Immortal was ready to not follow the Emperor's decree. He was ready to fight against it. He went to see Zi Fen because of that. Zi Fen was injured & dying and she lied to him about loving the Emperor. She thought it would be better for him to marry Wind & so he did. If he knew Zi Fen loved him back too, then he wouldn't marry Wind even if it was a decree.

I'm not sure about the poisoning part. I remember RY telling his dad that he has a certain amount of time before he dies. His dad just quickened the process and used the remaining bit of his powers to help XF.

She was mourning for her dad during that time. Plus, she wasn't sure of how to take revenge on XF. If it weren't for the book by Moon Immortal, she would probably take more time to come up with the idea. She gave her hair to him only a few days before the wedding. She would have to plan an attack when his guard was down.
You keep forgetting even if RY didn't know who the killer was, he still knew XF wasn't the killer. He purposely changed the dream's color to confirm JM's suspicion. You can't deny what he did was messed up.

Yes, Tu Yao was horrible in treating RY. And like I said, the problem is that RY took his revenge too far. Being abused doesn't mean you do bad things to others who don't deserve it. It does not justify your actions.
He could've brought justice in a different way. But he didn't.
XF didn't know RY would be labeled as the culprit. The moment he knew he did run over there to defend RY. Also when he learned RY is planning to rebel, he still begged his father to go easy on RY. The reason he couldn't tell his father day before wedding is because he was hoping RY would stop and his father probably needed proof of the rebellion. He kept pleading with RY to stop too. And like I mentioned several times, XF told RY he would've let go of JM any time if JM loved RY.
Ofc he's still going to be in pain because Tu Yao is still a threat to him. Like I said XF only verbally tells his mom. He tries to say things but he never took action. That's where I brought filial piety.
He doesn't want to physically harm his mom to threaten her.
All I'm saying is you can't say XF didn't care for RY. He did. All he just didn't do was take action for RY.

Well, the point of my comment was to correct a few things based off what happened in the drama. Yes it's my perspective but most people also think the same way as I do while others think similarly to yours.

Having a title "God of War" doesn't mean that person has to be intelligent on every matter. He got that title because he's smart when it comes to war and tactics related to war.
Yes, he's slow to pick up some things and this isn't a perspective thing.
I provided you examples.
1) RY was able to figure out from the Flower Immortal's words that JM has something unable to make her feel love. He did research and found out about the pill.
XF was given similar hints, spent time with JM a lot, but was never able to pick up on it. JM explained to him in Demon World, but he didn't believe her till his uncle mentioned it.
2) It was mentioned in the drama several times that RY is much more calculative but he decided to stay in the shadows because of XF's mom.

As for marriage part. I don't think you read entirely. Yes, I mentioned feelings. But I also mentioned the decree was between Wind & Water's child. JM is NOT Wind's daughter. She is Wind & Flower's daughter. So it makes no sense to carry that decree over. Also they ASKED for her consent so it doesn't matter if it's historical. Her father also told her that the agreement can be cancelled any time if she doesn't want to marry RY (that's before he found out she has feelings for XF). If her dad didn't get killed, then perhaps he would've agreed for her to marry XF. Because he was thinking about it. No where did her father say it's too late you signed an agreement and we can't cancel it, he refused to cancel because of XF's mother.
I understand RY may get punished for breaking off engagement, but he could've told JM & XF that and told JM to break it off. That's the right thing to do. And whether historical or modern times it's dumb to cling to a person who doesn't like you back. He already knows XF & JM have mutual feelings. Why cling to her when JM won't ever return his love?
That's possessiveness right there.

If you wanna talk about sexual assault, then JM could've been accused of that too even if she's ignorant about those. If XF didn't have feelings for her then her kissing him two times & taking off his shirt would've counted as that. But agreed, XF shouldn't have kissed her when she was unaware about feelings which he was also ignorant about.
As you said, she is unaware of feelings due to pill, so why would she have mutual cultivation with RY when she is unaware? She said she wants it but has no idea what it is. When her pill is out and she realizes she likes XF and didn't want to do with RY that would've been rape right there. You can't say she didn't love XF. She had multiple dreams of herself in the sealed flower that kept saying she loves someone and the moment it was unsealed we all knew it would be XF.

Loveless marriage because she confessed to XF later on, yes. Does it matter when she realize her feelings? Her feelings for XF was always there but suppressed. She wasn't aware of it during contract so what? She got baited to sign it and realized her feelings before the actual wedding. So yes that is loveless marriage. A contract to say "we will get married in future" doesn't mean you ARE married. Such a contract can be broken.

XF being dragged back may not make sense. I was just guessing because they used a war/conflict as a diversion for him before. So they could use it again, but that part doesn't matter.

Look up adultery's definition. It explicitly states married. No where does it say "engaged or someone about to be married"
It's not adultery. They aren't married yet. They WILL be but not are. Yes he was going to but didn't, which was messed up if he had done it.

Also RY poisoned his dad. That's attempted murder. So yes, he could've just killed his brother in his own way instead of using JM. JM did suspect him, but after talking to XF she wasn't sure because she had no evidence. RY's changing the dream color was her evidence. She wouldn't act on suspicion only. She acted after confirming the evidence she thought was evidence.

You're also making 2 contradicting statements regarding XF's filial piety.
1- You're saying XF didn't fight his mom to protect JM.
2- You're saying XF fought his parents for JM but not RY.
You mentioned historical times. I brought in filial piety because that's a thing in historical times.
XF did stand up for RY. When his mom was accusing RY for attacking XF during his nirvana, he was investigating it and eventually cleared RY's name.
By fight I mean physically fight. Not verbally.
When his mom attacked JM, he took a hit from his mom instead of hitting her and inflicting damage to her. He's perfectly capable of injuring his mom in that situation, but he didn't do it.
He's verbally told his mom several times to leave JM and that he likes her, but his mom never backed down.
He verbally told his dad about wanting to marry JM so he fought for both JM at each time.
He also stood up for RY.

Agree with your last statement.

I was looking for this type of comment. I couldn't watch after Ep 4.
I liked the FL too and her alternate personality who was able to deal with Wei Lei.
But I couldn't watch it anymore seeing how the ML sees that she's capable of accomplishing his goal of a scar-covering foundation and he just used her.
I also don't understand the psychologist either. The girl has DID due to her PTSD. But they keep mentioning her PTSD when it should be her alter ego. KMHM was way better when it came to how to deal with DID patients. I had to skip through episodes to see when the girl finds out that she was used and my goodness, it was dragged till the end.
I wouldn't mind so much if this was the story of our second leads, but I can't watch such a relationship for main leads. I read some other spoilers and I feel like there's some toxic relationships too?

Oh. As a reminder? Cause there was a scene where she personally talked to KH too.

Nice article. I like the layout and how you incorporated multiple people's perspectives.

For me it's the same as others said. I can't tolerate female villains who are written in the same cliche way. It makes me want to drop the drama or frustrates me. A female villain that didn't frustrate me at all was Ms. Choi in Vincenzo. That's because she wasn't the typical crazy female villain. Majority of shows show a female villain when it comes to jealousy and love (this is the cliche part). I have seen few male characters become villains out of jealousy/love and I don't tolerate them either. I get frustrated with those male villains too (but I'd say my reaction to them is less intense than female villains). I can't tolerate the female characters more who become villains because of love or jealousy because it's too overused and I hate seeing women being portrayed in that way. I wished they gave female villains a better backstory and a reason as to why they became a villain. But there are times where I dislike the female protagonist more in those situations because writers make them so weak, naive, soft-hearted, or dumb (I hate those soft-hearted FL's who forgive someone who's harmed them greatly when they shouldn't be lenient on them and make sure they feel the consequences of their actions). If you're going to give us a cliche female villain, then at least compensate with a well-written female protagonist character. I really hate seeing the female protagonist fall for the same tricks by the villains or she's a damsel in distress. You don't need to give them everything, but at least give them something.

Okay so the start was a bit weird and cringe because of the FL. But after finishing it, it's not too bad overall.
It's light and not extremely frustrating. I didn't have to skip through to watch. The misunderstandings are resolved quickly. If you wanna watch a sweet romance with no angst, then yes this is nice to watch.
There's nothing unique in terms of plot if you wanna watch for a great story.
Also, not a fan of the FL's acting (her dubbed voice was a little annoying sometimes for me too but it's C-dramas anyways with weird dubbed voices).
but I feel this is one of those dramas that the other actors/actresses & romance can cover for the FL's acting.
The FL's character itself is okay. She's not strong but not weak either. She isn't also completely dumb like other FL characters out there.

Most of what you said in this review was going through my mind!
I love Bai Lu & Luo Yunxi's acting and the only thing that pushed me through this drama was their romance honestly. I also liked ML's character. Even though he is slightly manipulative, he's not one of those petty men who hold grudges or gloat about being right all the time. I found the scene where he cooked for her even though they were fighting & left on purpose so she could eat as cute!

I 100% agree on the SFL. Her pursuit made me cringe & skip through it. It didn't feel like they were in love. Almost felt like SML liked her back because she's been around him non-stop and supporting him.
It's unfortunate that this drama has a lot of bad writing. I personally wasn't a fan of how they wrote all the female characters including our main FL. It felt like they dumbed her down because she is a "sheep"

the major disappointment is the FL's character. Reading the description I was expecting so much from her since she has a double degree in psych and econ. But she barely utilized it.
I understand some people are soft-hearted but how can you let that affect your judgment?
My previous comment already mentioned the reckless things she's done & where it felt like she wasn't using any common sense.
All I saw was YS trying to protect her in any way possible. Her psych degree came in handy only to calm down Dr. Zhu (YS's friend) & get rid of his anxiety. But that's it.
Having a psych degree doesn't make you a professional but at least it provides an insight about how people act and why people behave in a way.
This girl is too naive & not familiar with the politics in investment banking. She easily trusts people blindly. She didn't want to believe in YS's words because of her own feelings that consider Du as a friend. Even if she didn't want to trust YS words blindly, she could've done her own personal investigation. What I find hilarious is that she blindly believes everything DL feeds her. He had already told her about rejecting WS & knowing him, but she didn't double check if what he's saying is right. She could've asked that trainee girl too and shown DL's picture and would've known the truth.
I ignored that part thinking she's young & inexperienced.
Shen Xin being forgiven easily by JJ for elevator incident did piss me off, because I feel that people usually won't change & continue to do the same out of jealousy. There's few people who will change after one incident. But on the bright side, I'm glad as well that I don't need to watch an extended cat fight. The annoying part of the show is when they show that women cannot work together professionally. BUT they didn't drag that concept for long. Both Qiao & SX changed for the better later.
Now, YS broke up with her during the LT thing (which I found stupid tbh). I finally thought she's maturing & thinking now. She was able to figure out YS & DL are setting up a stage and was able to get her answers out of Dr. Zhu & Li Xiaochuan. That made me have hope. I understand why YS kept it from her bc she can't pretend well from what we've seen. She already stuttered in front of LT when she put a recorder in DL's room. She would've given herself away. But YS should've told her that he needs to do something important and will be back soon instead of having a breakup scene to be dramatic.
Everything till this point was okay, till the "2 Years Later".
I never liked DL's character from start. His character was consistent cause we all knew he was bad. It was nothing unexpected EXCEPT why did he act like that 2 years later??
The time jump was stupid. Because the man decided to blow up after 2 years? He knew JJ & YS got back together in those 2 years. He also knew they were sleeping together & it didn't bother him during those 2 years?
imo, he would've gotten jealous way sooner not after those 2 yrs.
Also I'd expect after 2 yrs, JJ would've matured after being in banking for awhile. She's still unable to see through people's deception. Still chose to believe in DL & doesn't have enough trust in YS's information. She started to suspect DL after hearing from SX.
Honestly if YS didn't put that tracking app on her phone, I really wonder what would happen to her. She already feels something off with DL yet still drives him home instead of asking for a driver. She's already has a suspicion and would rather risk her safety with an impulsive drunk man that she's confirmed has feelings for her.
Also idk why she didn't just leave MH to go to GE just like YS's secretary Su Chang did. I just find it weird bc then the couple are both in rival companies and it could've caused a whole commotion which DL did end up doing later on.
Anyways our main couple got their happy ending and she finally learned her lesson.

Our 2nd couple, idk why they're a couple tbh.
That dating app was just weird kinda reminds me of Love Alarm's concept (thats why I dropped it) but this one wasn't heavily focused on the app.
I never understood what XL saw in LX besides him being physically attractive. She had no self respect & was willing to sacrifice so much for him? If there's something bad about you, then yes change it but he also should love you for who you are given your imperfections.
When he liked her back, I wasn't convinced if it was love. He was too into his app being accurate. It seems its because he's obliged to since she's the only who helped him & has been around him all the time. I don't think their romance was properly developed.
Also even after marrying him XL is still childish. She only hears a few words out of him jumps to her own conclusions & gets mad.
Her endless pursuit of him was something I had to skip. She was dedicated but it felt too forced.
It didn't feel like she was a woman in her late 20's or early 30's. More like middle school.
Why stop doing what you wanna do to be a cashier just to see your crush? Hello??

finished and I just feel like going on a rant about this drama
I sorta liked it overall but it was so frustrating
The good of this drama is : main couple, cute moments & misunderstandings aren't dragged for too long.
and then the frustrating part: bad writing, inconsistencies, secondary couple.

yep, each time she makes a mistake the ML saves her. It's so frustrating. It's sad watching dramas portraying women inferior to men all the time. I have yet to see that but will put that on my list.

I like BL's acting but her character here so far has been frustrating.
At first it was annoying to see Yuan Shuai belittle Jiang Jun & tell her that investment banking is not for her. But after seeing her character in 8 eps, I hate to say but he was right.
She befriends a director from her company's competitor and reveals info about what she's working on. I would think someone working at a company would have SOME common sense not to expose their work to outsiders.
She got careless but then Yuan Shuai tells her about Du Lei. I don't like Du Lei bc I know why he's approaching her and YS also knows it too and warns her. YET SHE STILL SEES HIM & then asks him questions about Wan Shan that ANY person would understand why she's asking that.
The fact that she recorded the convo and made it obvious to the CEO Wan Shan & knew she was also being stalked. YET she still walked in her same path where its dark and she can get robbed.
She should've called the cops or a friend if she felt like she was stalked OR took a path that had people in it.
The smarter thing for her would be to keep Du Lei close to get info out of him instead but she does the opposite. I really hope her character matures throughout the drama which is one of the reasons why I'll keep watching.
ALSO her FRIEND
I get it that you wanna chase the boy you like and try to win him over but is there no sense of self respect? Like he made it clear that she's been bothering him by staring at him too much & keep offering him food. Then she makes all those advances on that guy and he clearly doesn't reciprocate her feelings back yet she's making a fool out of herself.

What is up with all these dramas with a vulnerable, dumb, weak FL? Do writers these days not have anything new to write about? I'm not saying to have this perfect FL character that has all those qualities but at least give them SOMETHING that doesn't make them so frustrating.
