Wait so the promise RSB made infront of her ancestors is invalid since the marriage didn't happened . That oath…
Well, maybe the specific one about LJL for now but if they ever marry, it will be valid. The other ones are still binding and they are horrible oaths :(
I wondered which children or grandchild was from that deceptive grandfather…But Grandma Rong making RSB take…
Yes, those were some serious vows. I don't know what that means now that everyone knows the truth about LJL and there's no way he can escape their suspicions about being a court spy. :(
Ep 18 was so good but I know the sisters will come back scheming. Such a shame- if they could just see past their jealousy, they see how good RSB is towards them. What she did for the 2nd sister was touching.
Ultimately, the grandmother is really the true antagonist. Pitting the sisters against each other and now trying to control RSB. She had a bad experience so now she thinks that her grandchildren will go through that too.
It seems both were broken apart or had to breakup under unsavory circumstances and both seemed to have deeply…
That makes a lot of sense. Not only her, but many people can say horrible mean things to people they love when they are fighting and raging. I am just disappointed that she was also in the same industry, training to be an idol (I think) and she still didn't understand the necessity to deny any relationship publicly. She may hate it but that's the world they are in.
In any case, even if she did not mean to break up with him then, how can she sanely imagine that she cld just show up and assume the same position that she herself destroyed years ago.
Crazy notion but what's scary that I think there are some like her in real life where they cannot move on...

How can saying he meant nothing to her be interpreted as we are still together? How can all the cheating on him show that she still wanted to be with him? I suppose one could take it literally that unless she said they have broken up, he should think that they are still together despite the several years apart. If that is the case, she definitely is delusional especially if what she told the FL is what she truly believes.
Ah ok...no worries even if you were...I like exchanging comments with people with a good sense of humour! Yeah, I still can't quite guess the murderer yet and next week's preview is really all over the place. Plus I am distracted by the current tension between the leads. I am also irritated by Hye Ju - she's turning out to be quite the clingy ex.
LOL, now I believe you're being sarcastic. I happened to just finish watching the scene between Se Na and the other company...and realize that I didn't have to guess. It was pretty clear that was what happened :D
I think it was Woo Seong who was trying to sign with another company, and the manager knew that. That's why he shouted at Jae Hee that it was not Ra-Ik, Also, Woo Seong's reaction with Jae Hee in the hospital was interesting, making me think that. Yes, the mother did do a shady deal but I think that was a whole different nasty business.
After watching episode 30 I realized that NXG is really sometimes out of touch of the real world. All she think…
I am glad that you stood up for ZX - he did not deserve to be made into such a villain, and hated so much. Yes, he still messed up but I understand why he messed up.
Timing really is the key to everything here.
Back in their college years, NXG and ZH simply weren’t mature enough to handle their emotions or the realities of life. ZH may have liked NXG, but he neither had the confidence or courage to deal with such a force like her. Sadly he was also manipulated by the people he thought he could trust.
We can see how much NXG has grown after entering the workforce. She became more empathetic and more aware that not everyone can be as bold or decisive as she is. In college, she moved through life with a kind of confidence that came from financial stability and strong family support. It wasn’t arrogance, but it did limit how much she reflected on others’ constraints. As an adult, she understands that people hesitate for reasons beyond simple indecision.
That said, she may have reflected less in college but she did apologize and and told ZX that she would not have done anything had she known about him and YR. In doing so, she gave him the perfect opening to explain himself—to be honest, to clarify, to fight for what he wanted. Yet, he let that moment slip by. Not just once, but repeatedly. His pattern of avoidance ultimately cost him everything when it came to her.
By contrast, NXG and LYS meet at exactly the right time, in their adulthood. They’ve lived a little, failed a little, and learned how to communicate with higher emotional intelligence. They know themselves better and understand others more deeply. Their connection feels natural and grounded.
Same here. I really hope ZX finds peace by the end—not through a consolation romance, but through himself.
A last-minute love interest would feel hollow, almost like a participation trophy. What ZX actually needs is growth: success in his career, confidence in his own choices, and the ability to finally stand on his own without hesitation or regret. Let him learn, let him level up, and let him become someone who no longer second-guesses his worth.
nobody gives a monkey about him, just take him off of the screen 🙄
Exactly...I was so happy with XiGuang's final rejection. That should be the end of it. Why do we need to see him and his colleagues with their work troubles...
He needed to realize how mean and harsh he was towards NXG, and how she felt back then. He didn't need a break…
XiGuang's candid and clear rejection was a good enough wake up call. I was hoping that we were done with that and I don't want to see him become even more miserable at work. I rather have more time with our leads :D
Just finished ep 31 - Our lovely couple is getting more comfortable with each other....as most of us suspected, because of that, their skinship is getting spicier...
Side note: do they have to make Zhuang Xu more miserable? Give the guy a break.!
