Like I said, he has no charisma so his presence is dull & plodding. The other actors are doing such a good job that it makes his black hole of energy all the more obvious.
When an actor plays a villain and a future love interest, the viewer still has to empathize with him from the outset. Yet all I see are red flags. He was the same in Pearl Girl so the problem is him, not the writing or storylines.
Just my two cents on Prisoner of Beauty—I think the male lead's hatred is actually quite justified. He endured…
"I think the male lead's hatred is actually quite justified. He endured a traumatic betrayal and unimaginable suffering at the hands of the female lead’s clan, which shaped his cold and ruthless demeanor. From his perspective, everything she represents is tied to the downfall of his people and personal agony. His mistrust isn’t baseless—it’s a survival instinct honed by pain."
You're absolutely right, yet I find the ML so off-putting and utterly devoid of charisma. I keep hoping the FL will just put him out of our misery and carry on the rest of the story without him.
The FL & ML are increasingly all kinds of "inappropriate" with each other. The ML should have told FL the truth the minute he became aware of it. Shame on him.
How no one else - besides the maid - seems to have noticed already is beyond me.

"The fl falling for the brother in law who was married to a sister she had never met would be icky now...but in those yes it was just eyebrow raising."
I guess. The son of a political figure in the US had a relationship with his dead brother's widow. It was probably trauma bonding, but in-laws falling for each other is not all that unusual.
This one took some time to grow on me, but I'm enjoying it now. The leads aren't as charismatic as in some of the recent dramas I've watched but the story so far (episode 11) has been quite good.
I don't really follow the flashbacks and kind of zone out. Maybe they'll all make sense by the end.
I'm on ep 6..So far for me it's a misstep.Dramas usually have the obnoxious female villain in dramas fake act…
This drama had a lackluster start IMO, but because there was nothing else to watch I stuck with it. It does get better at around episode 10 (if I remember correctly). In any case, I don't feel like I've wasted my time on this one.

Nudity: OMG! The indecency!
I'd argue that the world might be a better place with more nudity and less violence. LOL
