RURU

yes it's not that she looks old but her acting gives off an older person vibe which i guess is what they wanted portrayed cz DYX is portraying the younger guy vibe too well too and that's why the chemistry isn't a good as previous matches for these 2. The girl's too stiff in terms of romance and the guy's too love blind which are part of their character writing but not this central and it's making the show blander than expected. What's sad is the way strong female characters are being portrayed in a way where they have this weird mental block towards romance or colder than normal these days. If they act more in love they'd be ridiculed as too love centric and unrealistic and if too cold then it's way too bland and unrealistic again. Strong Generals can balance love and duty without it looking like it's one or the other and yet it's rarely portrayed that well. "legend of the female general" was a good mix but other come off as stiff like here or too much elsewhere

i don't get the hate on the new plot. Are we not bored of rebirth stories that are downplayed or ruined cz of china's regulations? i never expected a rebirth story here anyways so at least this change is better than her prophetically dreaming or gone thro some mysterious event or some other cliche. And a ML who went thro a tragic event in present timeline that leads to her falling is better her than falling for him thro the previous timeline where his experiences aren't the same cz she changed them. At least that's my opinion for this story but rebirth stories are better elsewhere too.

i think the dating happened during the time he pretended to be his brother cz she had a crush on him and not do ha which is why her hate for him is worse and cz she ends up realizing she liked him of course but what he did ruined her memories.

ep 3 begining is so freaking adorable I'm gushing. The way he was rambling so much was so cute and obvious ahhhhh. Whoever caused the separation of this adorable duo later on in the show needs a slap.

The trailer’s angst was forbidden love and society deeming them dirty and so on so it might be that they’ll focus on that as opposed to the novel then. But I get what u mean.

Umm been wondering why ppl don’t want romance in historical dramas, yes it gets boring to just have a romantic focus cz love isn’t everything but is it so bad to want companionship in the form of love? A person’s journey expands their physical and emotional capacity whether it’s good or bad. Having friends is nice but a romance offers more as well so I don’t get the hate on him getting a FL. It’d actually be sad and lonely for someone as powerful and possibly ending as immortal without falling in love once in a while.

The FL ends up regretting marrying the brother cz she falls for the ML and the angst is that society won’t see their love as pure and whatnot. Is it really that much of an issue? She married him post death so no consummation so the marriage should be void anyways. Plus it’s the “brother’s wife”, technically many have married brother’s widows, at least it wasn’t the father’s concubine or something like how princes marry them post getting the throne. So o don’t see the issue society would find in them other than initial dislike/discomfort and who cares!!! U’re fighting death threats and famiky eradication, a little scandal would not matter. I hope the angst won’t be too long like “Yummy Yummy” did

They should’ve just gone the way the anime did instead of giving us the past lives first knowing they’ll be sad endings. Now if they make the modern version, there won’t be much to tell and it’ll be a mess even if it’s a happy closure to the stories. How to go into this knowing it’ll be a brutal last arc. I hate that they gave the prequel first too making us love the father only to watch his bitter change here so instead of hating him, it’s just sad for the both of them.

is this really zero romance? it feels like a wasted potential when it's so amazing with everything so far. he softens up along the way cz of his friendships and so on; a romance would add to that and this actor is a so good in portraying that.

the prequel for the parents will explain why he the way he does here but not too important for the progress of the story

this is gonna be cliche but i have a feeling the grandfather found out the son in law is the one behind the accident and shifted the blame on the kid to cover up the crime cz he doesn't want it out. the grandmother might've not known tho but suspected over the years and now wants wooju to get his rightful seat for his father but won't uncover the truth cz of the company's rep so atleast he can get his spot if not revenge. BUT IT WAS SO OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ACCIDENT. Wooju would've realized if he didn't feel guilty but from the flashback, the truck swerved to the car's lane not the other way around and meri's dad might've noticed something wrong and killed on his way home away from the police station either by the grandfather to cover it up or by the son in law to make sure no one knows

So the one to save the realm has to have spiritual veins and been poisoned by the heavenly grief and automatically the ML thinks he’s the only one to sacrifice? Does he not know his wife by now? I hope they don’t go with him breaking up to save her from heartbreak and she ends up helping him at the end and forgiving him for hiding the truth. I hope this time he tells her “ I need to do this to save the world and my poison already relapsed” and she tells him “are u stupid, u go alone u die, we both go and we might survive this. Did u forget I got poisoned too?” I swear protagonists with hero complex need to chill.

Since the drama’s changed, how did the transition from eldest lady to like own another happen? Was it early on or much later after he gets a legitimate marriage candidate that incites her jealousy? ( I’m sure he liked her first ) her problem would be changing brotherly love to romantic

So the empress is the bitch that abandoned her son and used someone else to deceive the emperor and he blames that innocent child and her father? Karma would be JBZ rejecting the family and fighting for jixing after being cured. He has zero compassion for them and they deserve it. They mistreated the one person who was loyal to them and expect to be treated better by a son who hates higher realms ppl? Dream on. Those assholes deserve to fall from their pedestal.

So… what are the cps even if they’re subplot? It seems to be rabbit and TLY / ML and physician or is it bromance like fangs of fortune?

yes but it gave situ ling time to get the ingredient needed for her to make the cure that led to him threatening to kill JBZ if she doesn't marry him. Ppl like him that don't take the hint after multiple rejections are not a threat directly but they love to manipulate shit behind the scenes to get what they want. it's hard to predict his actions but saying he will always be a friend and to live for himself is not the way to go. He literally force fed her his blood AND told her while confessing his feelings "i saved your life, you appreciate that don't you" and moving closer to her like a creepy foreshadowing that he will get his favor from her. So many red flags from this guy and at least a strong rejection is better than a gentle let down that gives hope to these delusional men. Anyways so far we might say it's not that bad but marrying him to save ur guy? for real? u think he'll happily give u the one thing to save his love rival AFTER causing his poison to relapse? u'd save more time by stealing it and run off

i knew watching ep 27 would make my blood boil but EVEN HER MASTER THINK THAT BLOOD CURE IS LEGIT??? come on, would GMD be created if so? has he not examined her before the cure and saw she was healing really well? Feng shui , for real? that helped? come on like that'll help. BE more sus ppl. JBZ deserves the misunderstanding if he won't speak his mind for once. if u don't want to tell her u cured her so she doesn't suspect why u're dying fine. at least tell her u love her in those exact words. stop with the romantic tension of longing when nothing is left to separate u!!! they're creating openings and ask why it can't be easy.

i honestly blame MY for situ ling's continued delusions post GMD reveal. She already thanked gently before helping as a friend and knows he might harbor affection due to gratitude for the past but seeing him STILL actively pushing himself on her, force feeding her his blood, asking why JBZ was there when they were meeting (he's her hubby, back off) and completly treating JBZ like he was part of a deal for her and should back off; all of this showcase his feelings so much that she is feeling uncomfortable and yet she at least does not just tell him directly to treat him better cz he's someone she loves or to stop acting entitiled to have her (ok she said she is loyal to him but only as a friend but that still doesn't cut all hope). I don't even know why she's not with the ML when everything is out and he still chose to kiss her/ love her. Even if u don't want ur husband to grow attached to u so he's not hurt when u die, allowing that SL idiot to run his mouth is hurting him even more. The ML isn't helping either by allowing her to think situ ling saved her while trying to get her back, JUST TELL HER. I thought all the lies might've made him realize honesty is the best policy by now but i guess they love the secrets. You reap what u sow son

Honestly JBZ should’ve expected something to go wrong when he hid the fact he gave her GMD as a silent hero when he’d her freaking husband. MY agreeing to the favor isn’t too bad but the moment she found out her hubby was dying from poison for saving her should’ve voided the favor but I guess the dude sacrificing part of his life even if it didn’t heal her was still something that would weigh on her (kinda looking healthy but whatever). Honestly situ ling needed to manipulate her and want her hubby dead for us to see him as a villain we want dead than a delulu second lead who was just trying to save her.

So.. found out how the FL wears that stupid red dress and almost married that delusional bug. It wasn’t a spell or drug, just plain old “ I’ll give u the one ingredient I magically have that u need to save ur boy’s life if you marry me” and somehow JBZ was not sick enough to save the day. Either the delulu dude gets the hint and just gives the tree or the FL’s father might’ve found it out of gratitude to the man who saved his daughter (tho he initially hated him). I want the second option, less cliche than the first one
