BIRD_IN_A_CAGE

binged it and I hate to say it but it was too short I need more episodes 😭

this woman has never made a bad drama like I'm shocked

I understand both side but I kinda agree, tbh he doesn't even need to come out he could literally just leave the family it's not like he really wants to stay there and inherit the group anyways, not to mentioned he seemed to be living a better life with his boyfriend abroad despite what went down before he left, and at least there's more acceptance there, I highly doubt he cares what his family thinks as much as how it would affect the livelihood (reputation) of the group considering they are public figures and Korea's stance towards anything outside heteronormativity

the ending actually cracked me up cause how did we get here 😂

I was so happy cause I was like what dumb**s would try to blackmail someone that committed murder expecting them not to kill them before they could confess like she got what she deserved lol even better knowing she wasn't a good person anyways

I just want to add a lot of people are disliking Non now because of what happened with the teacher but it's like no one is understanding what is really happening. Yes he cheated. But think about it Non is at the lowest point in his life, he is being bullied and is heavily in debt, he can't talk to his parents and obviously doesn't want to drag Phee into this. He confided in his teacher someone who was supposed to be a responsible adult and his teacher took advantage of his trust and groomed him. Non did cheat, but if he wasn't in such a position would he have been taken advantage of by his teacher that led to the cheating in the first place?? What Non did wasn't good but people need to see that it doesn't change the fact that he is still a victim. Also Phi isn't a bad person and his reaction is completely valid as he obviously doesn't understand what's going on behind the scenes but we as viewers do which is why I don't consider Non to be a bad person just because of what he did

I will add though that obviously the person being groomed doesn't know they're being groomed and it's still wrong. Non was a minor and his teacher pretending to help him and then started acting innapropriately towards him. Regardlesss of whether Non liked it or not, he was at his lowest and his teacher took advantage of that. Grooming is grooming.

tbh after this ep i don't really mind if jin is killed off cause wtf was that?? there is no explanation that'll ever make me forgive anyone who does such a thing

i've noticed but it's like when YW gets happier MH gets sadder it's like they can't both be happy at the same time and it's making me really nervous for the final episodes

okay so i'm not huge on wuxia dramas (i love the novels) and this is also the first Chinese Paladin/Sword and Fairy adaption i've watched but the chemistry between Xu Kai and Esther Yu is so good. It might be because their relationship dynamic is one of my favorite ever (friends to lovers/codependency) and all their interactions are so natural and heart warming but it's really keeping me engrossed in the story. I will point out that romance plays a huge part on my likes and dislikes hence I don't actually care much about the story itself, but overall I really really really love this show so far

just looked at the reviews and comments and lord... its brutal 😂 might have to watch just to see if it's really that bad

A solid show... not amazing, not horrible, slightly above average, but they should've scrapped ep 15 if they were going to end it like this.. maybe this is why I don't cry when main characters die in dramas anymore, cause they never STAY DEAD!

Yes, all 4 leads survive and they both get married

loved the novel so excited for the drama, its like all my fave novel/manga/manwhas are getting drama/live action adaptions and i'm in love!!!

an obsessive male lead??? sign me up,, SIGN ME UPPPPPP. That first episode alone?? it's giving slight yandere and i'm in love

I can officially say I've never seen a nice peacock goddess in a drama, maybe it's their inherent need to be the center of attention they're always causing trouble. I'm happy my guy has finally woken up and put her in her place that scene was so satisfying

if it weren't for the fact that i like all the actors i would've given this a 3 it wasn't atricously bad but it wasn't good either (the ending helped a lot)

should have made those last 2 eps cause 14 wasn't enough to wrap it up, it felt so rushed at the end

the budget is budgeting
