I know some viewers are hating the ML, but I sort of see where this is going. I have to tell a story...so bear with me.
The ML reminds me SO MUCH of my Army drill sergeants. I had FOUR, but one in particular. Drill Sergeant H (DSH) was one of the most intimidating men I'd ever met. On one of the coldest, wettest, most miserable nights, my platoon was assigned a task. With our fingers numb, and our bodies shivering, we were screamed at constantly. "Hurry Up!" "You're moving like pond water!" There's more, but I'll keep this post respectful.
Anyway, the next night, I had to pull guard duty, and was asked to deliver something to DSH who was also on duty. When walking toward the duty office, I heard him talking to another DS about the night before. His voice was soft and endearing. "God, I felt so bad for them, but they endured it. We've trained them well."
I know this is a drama and an absolutely different scenario; however, I can see the efforts the ML is making trying to help the FL survive in a world he feels will swallow her alive. I also see how he's conflicted on whether to shield her (keep as his secretary) or let her go and support her secretly. This might be a very unpopular opinion, so please go easy on me in the comments.
This has to be one of the few dramas I didn’t fast forward through scenes. The love between the leads seemed so real and genuine. Both actors did justice to their characters. Like a great book, this series will haunt and comfort me at the same time.
I don't think a happy ending would be considered a spoiler for this kind of drama. And in fact the Tencent synopsis…
Thanks. I thought I read somewhere where it wasn't. I mostly trust the synopsis; however, I've been fooled a couple of times, not many, but enough to make me HAVE to ask.
For those who have read the novel, can you SPOIL me and let me know if there is a happy ending for the leads? The preview in for EP 12 gave me heart palpitations...even though I know it was as dream.
During the scene where Cha Sung Hoon was chasing after the perv/pert, I kept waiting for him to rip open his button down to reveal a big "S" underneath. LOVING this secondary couple.
Me too! I just dont like Kimberley with no reason. Sorry
This is the first Lakorn I've watched with her in it, and I didn't like her character's personality at all. Very disappointed. I really liked James, but had to drop.
This came recommended, but I'm REALLY NOT liking the FL at all. I'm trying to figure out what personality trait she has that makes two men fall madly in love with her. She's very selfish and comes off as witchy in many of the scenes. Her friend is actually much more likeable.
Loving this so far!! I rarely like secondary couples, but the secondary female lead is wonderful without overshadowing the FL. Absolutely investigated in her storyline.
I really liked The Sword and the Brocade. The FL is very strong who has to outwit everyone plotting against her. There are concubines, but the ML is not interested in them at all. Just very well done overall.
