Sadly, I'm starting to dislike (not hate) the ML character. Like I know he likes the FL, but helping her in the tournament against same from the same faction as his and withdrawing are just disrespect to the FL (in my opinion), plus him following her everywhere and sometimes in unconventional means is just creepy territory. If I were to compare, I would say and the ML from Moonlight Mystique have the knight in shining armor trope, the latter still treated her like her own individual. It's basically the opposite of each other. EF ml started decent but kept getting worse while MM ml started bad and kept getting better. I also like to point out how they treat other individuals. ML from this drama is the typical cold trope which is clichรฉ (again, just my opinion, not a fact). He's indifferent to others and sometimes straight up rude and ungrateful, literally shamed his faction to score some brownie points and technically counts as betrayal to the master. Based on dramas I've seen so far of this genre, usually respect to the master matters. MM ml still treated all his allies with respect, is understanding and doesn't cheat or weaken himself on purpose or shame anyone from his faction. I want to apologize if this bothers anyone since I know not everyone like comparisons, I just thought this might be a nice way to convey my opinion
Why did people keep saying this is a bad boy x good girl? Did they get tricked by the poster. I feel bad for the ML, this is quite the opposite. And not even the fun kind of bad where it's being mischievous, heck even a delinquent. This is the kind of bad that I hate a lot irl ๐ญ
Guys, I'm not gonna beat around the bush since it's like something I usually look forward to: will zhang qiling appear in the drama as an active cast? I don't mean by that as an epilogue or flashbacks but actually active in the plot and interacts with the main cast. Novel readers, pls feel free to spoil me
Ye xian is hilarious. Annoy him on a monday and he pulls out a dagger, annoy him on monday and he pulls up a musket. At this point, annoy him on Saturday and he might pull up a canon ๐. I'm trying to cope that him and FL are besties or like siblings cause I'm starting to get 2nd lead syndrome
Something I wanna say is that I like how they actually portrayal how an introvert acts here. For some reason, in many older dramas I watched : introvert = social anxiety. Like sure, there are some cases, but it's definitely not the common one. Our social battery simply drains fast and we feel more relaxed at home or when alone, it doesn't mean we are afraid or hate other people
Omg I LOVE the cang hao and qin yi arc. Crazy to think that a couple of weeks or days for the younger sister is years for the older one. When they return from the illusion, it might feel awkward ๐. Either way, I love the development of romance. Jiu ying romance is quite nice but I'm very intrigued with the older sister development. I also love a cold ML that's done right
I love both leads. I like how the FL is an actual shy introvert, usually when I see plots with the same description, the FL is somehow always energetic and social, always bickers with the ML and likes yelling, like I don't even consider that a loud introvert. I like that there isn't really a toxic trait for both leads, both are simply socially awkward, no one is overconfident or arrogant. Characters I hated are mostly FL's mom, and 2nd couple wasn't really interesting to me. I also love how nothing is over the top, confession, events and everything really is quite realistic. Truly fits the slice of life trope. Not a big fan when everything is about the FL and how people befriends her and forgives her no matter how annoying she is. I also like when the ML is ACTUALLY socially awkward sometimes, not a cold person, there's a difference
I kinda agree with you about Yu. I see many calling her out on her verbally abusive behavior and I also agree…
Yep, it's best if they go their separate ways. And I hate the friend that's with xiu, she's like top tier manipulator at this point. She knows what to say and how to act in order for xiu to be with her. Although I don't like the whole group of friends cause they sometimes act likes saints when it's the total opposite, I like that Da Sen is learning from his mistakes. Although i'm still confused, was MM 2 timing between him and the photographer ex? Cause I thought it was only a one sided chase of da sen that was in love with her. So idk if she's considered a cheater like how ML tried to portray or not. That's the only confusing part for me. For the rest, I like that FL and ML are opening up to each other but it's mostly ML doing it, FL is still hiding stuff which I feel will backfire on her
I don't like MM but she's not wrong either. ML only told his friend to solve the issue after he got called out…
Like I said, I'm with you on this one. MM is currently trash in all aspects. Just wanted to point out that aside from Yu, the group of friends are not innocent either
Iโm going to say I donโt like MM very much just because she expects ML to like her without knowing her and…
I don't like MM but she's not wrong either. ML only told his friend to solve the issue after he got called out for being a hypocrisy by MM. Also, ML blames FL's secret identity for wrecking couples while he's protecting the wrecker for the sake of friendship. When he cought FL taking the photo, it's obvious it would serve as proof for a successful divorce for Yu (which she deserves at this). Xiu needs to face the consequences of his actions. The whole groups of friends are all accomplices in this. I won't count FL since she seems to want to do the right thing (for now), and Yu seems like the biggest victim from all of this. Not only she's being cheated on, that same group of friends berated her in the dinner gathering in previous episodes, like full shade
Holy toxicity (love it, can be considered quite realistic too). So far, the only character truly deserving of empathy is Yu. Even ML is a bit iffy cause he's considered a hypocrite. Yu might be too much with the yelling but nothing she did so far is immoral and I actually support some of her yelling cause like she said, it's like she's the mom in the relationship, not the wife
I watched the vertical chinese movie of this but it had a system instead. Loved it cause the ML always had funny exaggerated expressions whenever he failed to lose money
Ok so far, it seems like hot-blooded dude x calm Female. Calm dude x bubbly female. I just hope they all have their happy endings, these kinds of series tend to like going towards a tragic or an open ended one
Be my manager, the pet one, and now this. And ofc I won't forget eye love you, and there is also the one with Gulf. I'm loving these kind of series so far, feels refreshing
Its innocent...you seem like want the grab grab her by the throat be toxic and wow its romance...they love each…
What in the fuking extremities are you saying. Innocent romance doesn't mean getting very flustered from touching hands. And I never said I want toxic romance, what kind of dumb reasoning is that. You do know there is an actual realistic romance that's also not toxic right?
Idk if this is a hot take or not but 2nd leads romance and chemistry>>> 1st leads. 1st leads romance kinda seem childish tbh while 2nd leads looks more thrilling and mature
