Does Korea seriously let the cops browbeat suspects in an interrogation room without a lawyer present ? And do they have no “innocent til proven guilty” laws? It’s like the cops just want to pin a murder on someone asap so without doing any investigation whatsoever, they accuse FL just bc she was near the victim. Otherwise the atmosphere of this drama is great.

I always wonder if they're being paid by the competition or work for the competition when there are so many of such a highly rated drama.

I'm not agreeing w a few negative comments, below...I started Prisoner of Beauty while waiting for POJ and wound up liking it much more than POJ--despite the hunky POJ ML. POB FL is smart and cunning and beautiful and has self respect. When POJ FL turned down ML 's heartfelt proposal, it didn't matter how hot ML was, I was so annoyed w FL's continuous refusals that I switched to POB.

I'm on ep 19 or so of POB, and I am not seeing any negatives. With any of these historical dramas, one has to suspend reality a bit and just enjoy the drama. I find POB funny and compassionate and I like FL much better, she's not always freaking out about everything like POJ FL is,

And I wanted hot ML in POJ to just walk away from FL when she treated him so badly, he needs to find someone who wants him wholeheartedly. And despite POB ML not being as outwardly handsome as POJ male lead, I wound up much more attracted to him bc of his personality. And it's quite refreshing to have such a savvy and self-confident FL. She's amazing.

And PS. I love all the secondary characters, especially POB's wacko mother (actress is great!) and redeemed cousin. And grandma. And the funny generals, and FL's helpers. Casting was lovely.

'splainin'

lolol

Everyone is talking about FL being mad at ML for hiding his identity. If I were ML I'd be pretty upset my bride took it upon herself to drug me so that I couldn't go to battle. I'd say they're even.

Tx so much!

wow thx, hope I never need to remember this haha.

Did I completely miss st, did ML deliberately cut his hand w a knife before he took off to battle? Maybe i saw it wrong?

It has always been for her protection. But now he has to tell her. He's badly injured, He has to get his strength back. They just met. Give him time, she'd better not slap him, she already did.

How conveeeeenient.

I dislike separations that last too long, this one was years so I just couldn't deal even the the leads were lovely.

second leads being the princess and scholar? Oh I see below, meaning Deng Kai & QQ

It's. a good thing they reconciled VERY soon after that or it would have been unnecessary torture, I dislike when they drag stuff out too long. But TPTB made them meet quickly after that scene so it became a poetic and tender amuse boûche rather than some annoying KDrama trope (I used to watch mainly K). If the Chinese keep making such quality well-written dramas I will totes switch.

for those of us non-chinese readers, I was wondering why that was so funny?

No, it's so rare to see him smile that even when it's a slight lip upturn, it makes waves

It's interesting bc at first I just saw him solely as a villain and the gray hair helped me when I was trying to sort out characters. By ep 19 or whatever we're on now, I look at ML bc he's hot and I love looking at his face and love his character & his acting skills are beyond.

But DK...I have a completely different feeling. On one hand I am incredibly drawn to his character and intensity and yes, looks, and on the other I'm appalled bc I'm drawn to such a sociopath. It's like I cannot look away.

I mean it shows what a good actor he is bc he never says anything untoward. But his looks clearly give his thoughts away. They're ALL amazing actors of course.

He's such an incredible actor. He seems so mild and innocuous in BTS and in the drama he's fire

I’m watching it for 2ML and the gym guy couple. FF scenes w FL. It’s a bit cringe to see leads in their thirties (forties?) acting all embarrassed or freaked out w someone touching their hand. Are these people all in their early thirties and never dated? The young ish gym couple are refreshing by comparison. And I’m not sure why the girl is so touchy around the lawyer. Maybe I forgot but I also don’t care enough to go back to an earlier episode.
