DingDong

I think I read somewhere that they were. I'm not sure of the usefulness of such a thing, tbh.

What would the Chinese title translate to? I think those "love something", "legend of whoever" and so on are stupid, too, and it's especially jarring here. It makes the show sound so corny when it's everything but.

It's just two very small similiarities, and I wouldn't even say the ML counts, since FX is super clever while this one is just mediocre at best and barely has any personality to begin with.

I'm only at episode 9, but he feels so bland and mediocre compared to both FL and SML, who are both clever, cunning and ruthless.

Noooooo! I was rooting for him T.T

I think it's an excellent way to show how secure he is in his power. His rule is so absolute he doesn't even need to attend court or put up appearances.

It really is distracting. So far, he's really subpar compared to FL and SML's performances.

IKR?? I had to check it wasn't him.

Episode 3, I think.

I want her with SML, they have much better chemistry.

If Sima Yi's the emperor from Joy of Life, then I absolutely agree with you.

She arranged for him to get martial arts training from supposed masters whom we only got to see get kicked around. It's the usual misogyny at play, I think, insofar as in dramas, women, even trained, rarely are equal to or even superior to men in martial arts (even if those men are thoroughly untrained). What it amounts to, however, is three "masters" who aren't that good after all, fall like flies, and can't have taught him much that was all that useful. Especially since we saw him struggling against one of them in the first episode. That alone should be enough to tell you how weak he is.

I wish the MLs switched lmao

On Webtoon!

I've only read the webtoon, so I wouldn't know about the webnovel, but I dislike the changes they made. I'd rather they'd remained faithful and made the drama shorter rather than what they're doing.

From what we've seen so far, there was a car accident that took place after JW's funeral, in which he was driving and then got hit by another car. That would be the one that killed him. Then, there's the car accident we see in episode 5 (?) where he's on foot and trying to save the cat from getting hit. This one happens way earlier, and he doesn't die from it. So there are two different car accidents.

You do realize not putting these under a spoiler tag is actively endangering them, yes?

There's actually no romance at all between FL and Eun-Ho in the webtoon. It's pretty clear from the get-go that this ship has sailed, and neither tries to rekindle the flame. They just move on like adults. He does feel a bit regretful about it, but that's about it.

As requested, I'm spoiling the whole thing quite broadly, so do be aware if you changed your mind.

There's nothing controversial in it. It has more of a healing vibe to it overall. Ji-Hyuk and Ji-Won are very sweet and he's very respectful of her and her choices, especially her reluctance about marriage, considering what happened in her past life. Ji-Won does manage to make Soo-Min and Min-Hwan marry (because of a pregnancy lie Soo-Min makes up, essentially trapping herself), but their marriage definitely isn't a happy one. (The mother-in-law is an awful witch and it's very, very satisfying to see her be terrible to Soo-Min instead of Ji-Won.)

Soo-Min ends up in prison after attempting to murder Ji-Won (this is the car accident that puts Ji-Hyuk in a coma: he pushes her out of the way), and Min-Hwan dies after sabotaging his own car (he wanted to kill Soo-Min but forgot all about sabotaging the brakes when he heard his mother was dead).

Basically, the webtoon is really good at dishing payback but in a way that's very satisfying and doesn't make Ji-Won into a terrible person: she remains the bright soul she was, and those people who did her so much harm end up destroying themselves. Karma at its finest.

JH's family is awesome, super accepting, and they stand behind the both of them. JH's step-mother even helps JW deal with her opportunistic mother who shows back up in her life when she hears from Soo-Min that she's now dating a rich man.

I haven't read the side stories, but I think JW does end up marrying JH and they have kids.

I agree with you. Most of the big reveals have happened already, and the revenge is proceeding nowhere near as fast as it should. The turn everything took at the end of episode 6 means they need to venture into original territory from now on. I loved the webtoon, but this adaptation doesn't work for me at all.
