I also just finished part 1 and honestly I think the ML should be with someone better than her. That mask girl…
I wrote that to describe my point to the person i was replying to. I said to the other person i wanted the ML to be with a different female character because i wasn't convinced by the FL. They replied it would never happen in a Kdrama. So i gave my reasons as to why. I just think because dramas are made for female viewers they tend to favour more FL's with privileges. For example FL's with more caring support characters, and how we have SML's with better traits and characteristics compared to SFL's. And how we probably won't see a ML end up with a SFL. Even though the FL will still end up with the ML, there have been some times where the SML ends up with the FL, like Love Alarm. But anyway, i was just using those as examples to describe what viewers mostly want. I've just seen way more comments describing a ML as toxic or red flag because he hangs out with a SFL. I have seen comments hating on the FL for doing the same thing, but it's not as common. I believe it's just viewers' preference. Just like anime has mainly male viewers, it shows more male content.

What?? Why are you bringing the word sexist into this? Why do you feel the need to use such a word to make your point? There is nothing sexist about it. The fact is that the majority of female viewers prefer kind, caring, supportive SML's. Obviously, not all female viewers prefer this, but the way dramas are portrayed, it's obvious. Why do you think the majority of SFL's that are interested in the ML are usually psychotic bithes, while SML's are usually caring and supportive towards the FL from beginning to end? Do you think dramaland would look the same if the majority of viewers were male?

Your use of such derogatory language simply shows that your ability to articulate does not extend beyond the word F*ck and your cursing is only showing your lack of intelligence and inability to express yourself with words. I'll let you ponder what you just read.😏
I just don’t know why Gag Hwa was hated throughout the show.
I agree with you, fair point. Don't let people persuade you to not give your honest, rightful opinion just because they don't agree with you. And if they insult you, don't bother going to their disrespectful level. If they continue, report them. MDL gives us the opportunity to freely and respectfully express ourselves and give our opinions about dramas.

Yep, exactly the type of response i expected from you. You can't converse calmly, reasonably, and responsibly. When you don't have an answer and realise you might be wrong, you resort to insults. They weren't rude, they gave their opinion and you couldn't take it so you had to cause conflict throwing insults using words such as sexist, misogynist, freak, imbecile and weirdo.

We can talk about characters and dramas, but don't resort to insults and personal attacks because you don't like ones opinions. You say misogynist, others will counter with misandrist. Be respectful, be better than that.
Now, back to the drama. If the roles were reversed and Gag Hwa was a male character, would you still have the same opinion? You can't deny female viewers love those bad boy characters. Especially if they're pretty boys. And you love them even more when they go through character development. So character development is fine for male characters but not for women? Because Gag Hwa did go through some small character development with the limited screentime she had.
While the ML and FL were both responsible for what happened in part 1, it's the FL that should take most of the blame. It came down to trust. She couldn't trust him, and she was still undecided about who she really loved between the ML and SML.
I thought part 2 had 10 episodes like part 1. I only realised after finishing episode 10 after wondering why some things weren't resolved. But it did feel like a final episode. I think the changing of the airing date confused me. I really like the Qing princess and her type of love she has for the ML. The assertive you're mine type of love. I love it. And she's beautiful, so there's that too. I now know what you all mean when you use the term "second lead syndrome." Although that term would be rare for SFL's or female support characters for obvious reasons.
I'm on episode 17, and did i just see a female character other than the FL kissing the ML? 👀😲 What parallel universe have I entered? Who knows, but i love it. The sirens fury, prepare for hell fire🔥

Yes exactly. And you probably already aware of any SFL's that do get involved with the ML's are mostly the toxic, obsessed psycho bitch types. They're very different from the typical kind, caring, protective SML's that stand by the FL's from beginning to end. We all know why there's a huge difference between SML's and SFL's, because female viewers prefer FL's to be surrounded by kind, supportive men, while SFL's need to be the opposite, because god forbid if the SFL is better and outshines the FL causing the ML to choose the SFL over the FL all hell would break loose.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. Also, we have to remember dramas are mainly watched by female viewers, therefore ML's will usually be prohibited from having any female characters around him except the FL. If he does, he's suddenly toxic and a red flag. Meanwhil, the FL can enjoy multiple male characters surrounding her. She's even allowed to ponder her decisions on who she'll choose, and that is considered normal, infact it's encouraged. ML with SFL, "toxic." FL with SML, "you go girl."
Thank you, Vincenzo, for editing to place your comment behind a Reveal Spoiler.
No problem. Even though i was referring to scenes in part 1, i understand there might be some people coming on this page before watching part 1. I didn't really think about that before commenting. I know how annoying it can be when people don't use the spoiler.
I'm on episode 13, and the ML has the opportunity to be with the princess. She's really interested in him. I hope he gets with her, i mean, the FL chose to marry another guy. Therefore, the ML should also be with someone who likes him. But i doubt that will happen. After all, MLs are prohibited from having any female characters around him except the FL. If he does, he's suddenly toxic and a red flag. Meanwhile, the FL can enjoy multiple male characters surrounding her. She's even allowed to ponder her decisions on who she'll choose, and that is considered normal, infact it's encouraged. ML with SFL, "toxic." FL with SML, "you go girl."
