The story already had enough tension with the second male lead’s obsession adding another disruptive character…
But that’s exactly my point. The SML’s obsession was overdone and felt excessive, that’s why I mentioned introducing a SFL. It would’ve balanced things out. They could’ve toned down his obsession a bit and used the SFL to create a more natural dynamic.
Also, a SFL doesn’t have to be obsessive, chaotic, or antagonistic. There are plenty of examples where she’s simply supportive, just like many SMLs are. Her presence wouldn’t take away from the ML and FL’s interactions, instead, it would highlight the FL’s feelings, like a touch of jealousy or emotional honesty, which adds depth and realism.
Because, let’s be honest, having a ML who’s handsome, brave, and genuinely good-hearted, yet no one else around him shows interest? That’s not realistic. A SFL would make the story feel more believable.
And when you say “it was perfect as it is,” I just can’t agree. There’s nothing “perfect” about an over-the-top, obsessive SML. Unless you’re simply watching for the aesthetics, enjoying a good-looking guy regardless of how unhinged or unrealistic his character is, it just doesn’t make sense to call that perfect.
I understand, and I see why you might say there’s no love triangle. However, the fact remains that there are three people involved, ML, FL, and SML. The drama deliberately shows multiple interactions between FL and SML, which highlights the dynamic between the three characters.
Even though FL doesn’t have romantic feelings for SML, there is still a connection among the three, and by definition, a love triangle occurs when two people both love a third person, regardless of whether that third person reciprocates feelings. So, in that sense, this situation does form a love triangle.
Yeah, it was actually quite good. I definitely preferred the first half of the drama, it was more exciting, and I really enjoyed the interactions between ML and FL. The second half was ok, though I lost a bit of interest toward the end. Still, it was engaging enough to keep me watching.
SML, though, his obsession with FL was way overdone. It just came off as weird. What surprised me was that ML didn’t have a SFL interested in him. Sure, there were those cheerleader-type girls who admired him from afar, but not a single one who got proper screen time or showed genuine interest. That felt unusual, because with a character like him, you’d expect someone to be chasing after him. But overall, it was a solid drama. Definitely a good watch.
lol,he is a top chinese actor and this is one of his oldest movies,his name is song wei long but since you don't…
Lol, you misunderstood. I know who the actor is. I meant who’s actually designated as the ML in this drama. Because whoever the SML is, he’s getting just as much screen time and interactions with the FL as the main guy. And yes, i still don't give a damn because this drama is awful.
I thought the ML destroyed the cure. How did he make a new one when he doesn't have the ingredients? He didn't even know the ingredients because he made it before going to the forest.
I’ve just finished episode 27, and I’m starting to feel a bit let down. The last few episodes have become somewhat dull, and the connection between the leads seems to be fading. They don't spend much time together anymore. The story is now all about the cure. It’s like I'm watching a different show. Take episode 27, for instance. The main leads barely shared any scenes together. Instead, the SML spent more time with her, and she even spent the whole night with him. It’s making me question whether this show can hold my interest anymore.
Why isn't the ML more powerful than before? He absorbed all those beasts into his core. He should now have control and be able to use their powers and abilities. But nothing's changed.
I’m on episode 15, and it’s pretty clear that ML has feelings for FL. But with FL, I’m not entirely sure yet. She definitely doesn’t see ML as a bad person anymore, and it’s obvious that she cares about him in some way, but I can’t tell if that care has turned into love just yet. At this point, it feels more like concern or admiration rather than romantic feelings. Does anyone think FL has feelings for ML by episode 15, or do we start to see that develop more in the later episodes?
