If the plot is non existent in this then the other cdramas here are dead. How are you already concluding the story…
the main plot is sidelined most of the time to run constant subplots, one after the other. and they'd kinda repetitive. only once in a while does Yingluo remember what she's there for, so i would say it's a huge drag. while it's not fair to judge a series by watching a short part of it, one shouldn't have to watch like 30 episodes to even get the main plot to start. i think they could've done 70 eps with one strong plot, only if the subplots actually had more to do with the main one rather than just tools to develop relationships.
and the characters are definitely very one dimensional so far, i don't see much "layering" except in consort xian and chun. even the main character seems very flat to me. but maybe that's just me and my standards. this drama indeed is more plot focused than in emotional/character depth, so it might be my wrong choice to pick it up.
most characters in this drama are so one dimensional and flat. i can't help but hate mingyu and gao. there's so little depth to them, not to mention the flat and non existent plot that already isn't a good look. oof.
never have i seen a worse emperor in a drama. though I've seen tyrants, never seen someone this much of a loser and yet so self obsessed. manchild.
i love the empress so much. she literally treats her attendant maids as her own daughters, lets them play around, teaches them, wipes their tears.
and then there's this bastard who kicks his attendants whenever he's upset, even if they're begging and apologising. attacks women. gets upset seeing people happy. doesn't do anything productive that would help anyone. and has a thousand fucking "wives." a toddler throwing tantrums would act better than this... whatever creature this is. ew.
I was hoping Eun Jung would rethink but nope. I really hate the ending. Honestly, I don’t agree with assisted…
yeah, like she wasn't suffering worse than death already. she should "let it happen naturally" and go on because others would be hurt because SHE is suffering. huh?
im sorry this was exhuasting and at time i didnt get the point of their arguments. Sangyeon was so poorly written…
imo they showed her inner struggles in the first half but didn't when it was needed the most, when she came around and realised her errors, so i get your point. there was a disconnect towards the end, especially.
[ EP 11 ]atp I'm like... bro, move on! 😭🙏 it's been like 10 years, she's said "NO" like a hundred times, things have ended, been made clear, are y'all kids?? ARE YOU CHILDREN? IS THIS A CHILD'S PLAY?also, the whole work team is unprofessional af. all they talk about is dating, whether they're driving, eating or working, it's a teen drama with a stupid love triangle (square here?) that never ends. they are SO repetitive and unprofessional. please, act like adults for once? and sy: act friendly, act harmless, act like nothing ever happened then ✨ snarky comment ✨no acknowledgement, no apology, no guilt, just passive aggressive remarks. I'm really curious, what worse could even happen?
earlier it was hard to watch and heavy but now, it's just lost the plot. get back.

i have so much to say. so. much. but i think if i begin writing, i won't be a able to stop, or put all my thoughts down. or not get personal.
but i loved this, so much. i am glad i decided to watch it.
