What a mess 🫣😅
Chemistry, intimacy and kisses are really good. But the story is a mess. Lots of crazy twists, family dramas galore, villains who you want to slap.
I watched for the main leads beauty and sexiness but there are better vertical dramas out there for sure.

Unfortunately, most of Chinese dramas are dubbed for different reasons. Maybe you'll get used to it. I grew up in a country where every single foreign movie was dubbed, so I'm used to it I think.

Thanks. I understood the plot but it seems that there are some scenes that are not connected once she's inside the game. But I'll continue. I just wondered if it was on purpose.

I started this drama yesterday. Episode 2 was very confusing. I didn't understand some connection between some scenes. I had to go back but I was lost.
Are we supposed to get lost ?

Ok, finally, I'm starting this one. I love the actors and since I'm very nostalgic about the 90's (the best years🤗) it should be good 😊

I don't keep track of all the vertical dramas. But for exemple recently I watched "Captive of your love", plot is bad but it was spicy. (Toxic as always though).
You also have shorts. These ones were spicy and good : "Bound by sin", republican era with strong but submissive ML to dominating FL 🥵
"Love trap" has also good kisses if I'm not mistaken.
I don't remember the others. But on iQiyi you have the choice 😅

You should see vertical dramas then. It's even more spicy. But with even less plot haha

I'm happy to read your comment because I've been wanting to watch this drama since it aired but the bad reviews kept me away. I personally don't mind if the ending is open or complicated to understand. If that's why the rating is low. I tend to enjoy the journey more than the destination.
I think I'll give it a try.

I understand your point of view but humiliating their partner is an absolute "no" for me. If he's not acting like a responsible man, try to find a solution or leave him if you can.
In my opinion , you always have the choice to not treat the other like shit. I haven't seen the remaining episodes so I'll see how they're doing. If they break up, good for them. If they start again on different ground, good for them.
Her attitude is really triggering to me. Having heard my mother say horrible things to my dad and me at home, I just can't . It's not okay.

Their height and size difference was exciting. ML is handsome and sexy. But a psycho stalker who doesn't know consent. FL is beautiful but dumb and interested in money.
I preferred the 1st half of the drama. The intimate scenes were nice. But at the end the story was too crazy and long.
This drama is really showing toxic attitudes but it was addictive and funny.
In real life, ML would be in jail 😅

I'm currently watching it and enjoying it. But I was literally thinking. In real life, I would call the cops on this guy. But in the drama he's so hot. Haha

And yes their dynamics are realistic. This whole drama is actually. That's why I love it.

But the thing is that she knew he was like this when she got with him and they married after 5 years of relationship. She knew. Him being like this doesn't excuse her humiliating him with her words for years. Same for her mom.
It's better to break up before disrespecting their partner.
I've seen the following episode (until the middle of episode 20). I'm not happy she's suffering, but I can't be empathetic over a person who humiliates her husband like that. I know this kind of people and it's impossible to be happy around them.

She is a castrating wife. She always talks to him so badly. It seems that at the beginning she was really admiring him because he was a free spirit and an artist but then when living with him she realised he was not her dream man and she kept depreciating him. She doesn't respect him being an artist and not being responsible. Giving orders and being condescending. I can understand that he found his happiness somewhere else. I don't condone emotional cheating of course. But I get him.
I think the lack of respect Yu has for her husband is insufferable. Maybe it got worse after she knew his relationship with Luan but I think it was already there. Very controlling.
At this point. Just divorce and both of you be happy with someone else.
Ps: I'm not saying he did nothing wrong. But her attitude is really hard to watch.

My opinion on Yu and Xiu's couple after 17 episodes :

Yes

I've just finished episode 17 qns enjoying it very much! So far so good.

It's because it's a very atypical kind of romance with toxic and grey characters. So, not everybody likes it. I do. And lots of persons came for Liu yu Ning and were disappointed because he doesn't have a lot of screen time.

I LOVED How dare you. Actually, I watched both of these dramas at the same time.
I preferred How dare you because it was different and fun. But both of them are worth watching. Have fun 😊

Yes it's a happy ending 🤗 last 2 episodes were exciting and not boring. I took my time watching this drama and it was really well made.
Regarding the romance, I think it's very satisfying and it starts early. Only down thing is the trope where they lie to eachother for too long in my opinion.
