Vincenzo Cassano

Loved this drama but can someone please explain why the sister that dies was intimate with the other guy when she loved the ML? It just doesn't make any sense. She clearly loved him but when the other guy approached her, kissed her and I think they also had sex, why didn't she resist? It didn't seem like she was looking for it but she didn't stop him either. It's the one thing in the drama that's got me confused. Was she forced, blackmailed, didn't want to upset her superior in fear of losing her job, or is she just a slut? Did I miss something that explains it? Anyone please elaborate.

One of the things that annoys me about Cdramas is when the FL sees something, reads something or hears something about the ML and she believes it and condemns him without seeking the truth. It's a common scene when the FL allegedly discovers something about the ML in front of a friend or friends and the friend immediately criticises him making the situation worse by leading the FL to further have misunderstandings. I understand it's part of the process, but do they have to have it in every show? Is this one of those dramas?

It looks like you've made many comments about this drama. Is it that good?

Is this similar to Go Go Squid?

What's your favourite or favourites costume dramas?

No one has replied to you yet, how rude. Unfortunately i haven't watched this drama yet, infact I'm only up to episode 11 in Go Go Squid. When i complete this I'll let you know if you haven't watched it yourself already.

Do they appear in this drama often? If not do you remember what episodes they're in? I don't really want to watch this show, only the scenes they're in.

What??? Then you won't be able to watch half of Cdramas, because most of these FL act this way towards the ML, well at least the ones that chase the ML first. It's not even that bad anyway.

The beginning of episode 10, LOL. She has the nerve to tell him off after what just happened. For those who have watched this episode you'd understand.

But it's not the ending, there's still more going on after that.

But the ending is what can make or break a drama. The ending is what leaves you with the last impression, it's the icing on the cake. If not for that ending i would've given it a 9, instead i gave it a 6.

But it's not the ending, there's still more going on after that.

Well that's not what i meant when i said not a happy ending. Romeo and Juliet is not a good example because they both die together, so in way it's a happy ending because the leads aren't suffering alone and separated but die together for the love they have for each other. When i say sad ending i mean when the leads don't end up together, whether one of them dies or they go their separate ways. Go watch Moon Lovers, Love Me Or Leave Me and IRIS, now they are sad endings I'm talking about.

Sarcasm right?

Yes i agree, Qingmu and Houchi are what Baijue and Shanngu would be like without the responsibilities of being Gods.

YAMG?

Give me an example of a happy ending not being a good ending, because i haven't seen one yet. The only people i believe that don't want happy endings are the ones suffering from second lead syndrome. How could anyone not want a happy ending and how could someone want a violent, toxic, sad ending? If you have an answer then please say because I don't get it.

Great thanks for the response. Yes I agree with everything you mentioned. I must also add that some countries especially Asian and Arab countries are heavily influenced by their past, history and culture. For example the drinking, how women are treated, abuse from people with power and age (this is from their hierarchical system) and lifestyle. I know all countries have issues with what I just mentioned, but I believe for Asians, Indians and Arabs it's in a way normal in their society, it's simply outdated. Every country has history but most countries from North and South America, Europe and Australia have evolved their beliefs while still keeping their culture.

Thanks for the in-depth informative response. Although it doesn't make sense to me why they drink like that (different culture) i can vaguely understand why they do it. Also another question i have, and feel free to respond if you know the answer. I noticed in many Kdramas employees are often slapped, punched and kicked by their employers without punishment. When I first started watching Kdramas I thought it was just a one off scene, but when I realised it was occurring many times I thought this must be happening in reality. It's ludicrous, it's assault, if this happened in my country the employer would never get away with it and be severely punished. It's like they're still living in the Joseon dynasty.

I've just finished episode 3 and it’s great so far. I hope it continues like this. Have you gone past 8 or did you drop it?
