Yes, ckdramas are full of cliches; the nonsensical slap, the forced kiss been romanticized... are just a few of them. Toxic behaviors for sure. Specifically the way they are portrayed so many times. I haven't watched that drama in particular but I've seen toxic behavior in others dramas. I don't think that the focus is that much on been humiliated or not but on what kind of behavior we normalize as a society. Of course we need to use critical thinking while watching, specifically knowing that younger people are watching too. So in the end, considering those things, we are going to enjoy them anyway as these are fictional dramas and we are aware how they differ from reality so many times.
Biggest mistake of ML is leaving FL and her sister unprotected, esp since she played a big role in thwarting attack…
Yes, it was very much within her character and I enjoyed her taking revenge and killing those bandits. She is also so skilled! Her father teachings are paying off.

Yes, it's not ok to slap people, although I'm fine with defending yourself after an aggression, which this was. (btw he didn't "enjoy that slap" and try to kiss her again, he just didn't accept her rejection. No means no) That crying is also consistent with a girl in love even after that happened, and she is missing his kind part, not his forced kiss. In fact the later would add to her grief. Those scenes were very well done, and the actors made a very good job portraying the emotions. The focus should be that he overstepped her boundaries not that she defended herself, let's not make bad behaviors romantic.
Just discovered that Xiwei said in a interview that Chang Yu blush being super red in today’s episode is because…
That was my first thought actually; she had to disguise herself as a maid and maids wear makeup, but she never had put on makeup before and she was in a hurry. It felt so on character and very funny 😊
Since you said I would have done the same" — please don’t. At least not at that time, or it will make…
I think I understood both of your points: In that moment that slap was well deserved but in real life, if you're in a vulnerable position, it would be better to run into safety first, because in real life these things tend to escalate more. Is that it?
Su Yuan Qing taunted Xie Zheng by saying that Fan Chang Yu’s lips tasted sweet, which clearly provoked him.…
So he believes that someone else forced a kiss on her so he has to force another kiss on her? He did wrong and she told him so. She actually was being assertive here. If he would have confess first, explain first and then ask her to wait without previously insulting her and forcing her, things would have been different.
I frequently watch airing dramas and follow the comment section so I can compare. What I'm seeing with this drama here is real buzz. And we are clearly enjoying this drama.
I like how the princess is the one who thinks Marquis Wu is just like a big bro. In quite a lot of other dramas,…
Yes, that was actually refreshing. At first, when they mentioned that XZ rejected the marriage I thought that we could be encountering this troupe later on. I'm so glad that it's not the case.
