As a little side note to anyone who thinks that XJ is dumb.
She was born with her senses muted. Imagine what you would be like if when you eat food you couldn't taste the flavor, or while you can hear but not appreciate an awesome singing voice/song and so on and so forth.
She has learnt how to fake those expected reactions so that she can get by in society (mostly by copying LL's emotions) but she still at her core just doesn't care about anything except maybe her family so she has no motivation to do anything because she lives in a dull world and so she would rather sleep.
She doesn't develop the desire to cultivate and practice because she has never felt the need for that. It wasn't until she finds herself powerless against a foe that almost wipes out her friends and sister that she chooses to makes the effort to learn how to defend herself and her friends and family.
She doesn't understand the nuances of social interactions and as such she is subject to manipulation conversely she also doesn't have the prejudices that LL and MY have about sects (that all demons are bad mentality).
She is pure, like a baby and she learns and adapts very fast too. I don't know about you about you but I wouldn't call that dumb, she may be slow about emotions when she first encounters them but she not stupid or dumb for that matter.
Anyway, don't mind me. I just clicked on the home page of MDL and someone had rated this show as a 4 because XJ is "dumb" so I just couldn't let it pass
Am so happy with how the difficult emotional discussions are actually done and not glossed over in this show. Its not that is all wrapped up with a bow in the last few episodes as you see in most shows but a more realistic progression. Well done to the screen writer for such an awesome character driven drama.
Lol. That's further than I got. I could only make it to the opening scene when she was critiquing the professor during his talk. The whole discussion was so ludicrous that I just stopped and haven't gone back to it. I'll come back to it when I have more patience or have nothing to watch whichever happens first.
Unpopular opinion but the actress who played Soo Ah outshined everyone acting wise I thought she was really good
She was quite good. Even though I couldn't stand her character, the actress did an awesome job portraying that flawed character. On the whole this show had some awesome secondary characters. ML's mother was also quite good.
I am so proud of the FL for making the difficult decision but one that needed to be made. Ep 35 and 36 were by far the most emotional so far. Loved it!
I’ve seen bits and pieces of episode trailers, can you tell me if the FL lost the baby because of the mother…
From what I remember she did lose the baby but not because of the mother in law. I think it had something to do with the jealous second female lead/ She had a very good relationship with her in-laws. They treated her like family and she gave back as good as she got. She actually propped up and sustained the family even without a child.
Be advised, this is a melodrama. Its not for the faint of heart.
Have you watched "Love is Sweet" starring Bai Lu and Leo Luo? It's modern, funny, sweet and their on-screen chemistry…
lol, yep I've been there. What are you in the mood for? Something along the same lines of fluffiness or something else. Here are a few suggestions for now.
Fluffiness I am currently watching and loving Be with you - non conventional FL in that. Waiting on subs for Meeting you - such a sweet coming of age story about a great friendship. ML is probably on the spectrum but its handled in a great way.
If you haven't seen Chicago typewriter you should add it to your list - Its heavier but an awesome story
Am also watching the daily The centimeter of love with a great ML and FL but the most high blood pressure educing families I have ever had the misfortune to witness. This has become my guilty pleasure because the ML and FL are so cute together but their families are toxic.
