So I rewatched this after a year and realized it is not that bad. I think i got caught up in the hate train it was receiving. I increased my rating from a 7.5 to 8. I wanted to give it an 8.5 but it really does have one of the most stupid break ups I have ever seen in dramaland AND I really did not like the leads exes

yes

I want to know what Bai Lu did to the Hair and makeup people cos she is looking so rough in this. Every other female actress looks great except her

Can somebody help me out. There is a bit in the end card where ML and FL are kissing in front of his staff and brother in the media room/press room...what episode is that?

The only one I can think of right now is Dream of Splendor. I'll come back to you more once my brain works

SAME! Thank you friend

While these might be benign to some people, it was triggering to me. Shaking her, gripping her, threatening her with death are all acts of violence. You don't have to raise your hand to hit someone to be violent. In real life if a man did any of those things to me I would call the police. The writers made a choice on how these scenes worked and I don't like them

It wasn't. There are plenty of "bad guy" characters in dramaland who never rough up their women

Finished. Only thing I hated in the finale was Fan Ying's story. It was good but yeah should def come with a trigger warning

And i'll take back the violent kink. I was triggered so I may have exaggerated

Clutching pearls would mean I disapprove of sex/acts of affection. I do not. I do not like the shaking of her, the explosive jealousy rants etc I love Love like the Galaxy which is pretty similar to this but the ML treated his FL with gentle love vs here where it is explosive/physically painful love

I have never watched those either because from the ads I can tell that is not for me

I hate each and every one of y'all who rated this high and did not admit you have a violence blinders on. The political/slice of life side is a good story but the romance is rooted in violence. I am on episode 36 and every moment of passion has been super triggering to me

Yes but at least please understand why I had to ask. Writers have done this before.

Everyone stop acting like I am the weird one. There have been some weird AF story lines involving time travel in dramaland. I am simply trying to protect myself 😭

Because TV writers and some fans are weird. Everyone on MDL loves Go Ahead and it is about adopted siblings hooking up. I was traumatized by that so I have to ask first

help is fine. thanks

whew. thanks

Before i start watching. Can someone tell me if the son hooks up with his Mom in the past ?

Will do. Thanks
