Title The Wolf Spoiler
The acting was decent and the production better than I expected. Admittedly, I only skimmed it for SML but I got…
It is unfathomable to me that viewers of this show don’t understand the Wolf is a complex character who was literally raised by animals….yes…wolves then psychologically and physically tortured by Chu Kui. He never really understood what it meant to be a human and have empathy. He was raised by animals then saved by a sadistic king that literally used Satanic ritual abuse on him, tortured him, and manipulated him. He was abused for his whole life and “handled" by not only Xing’er when he was the “Wolf” but also by the King when he gained his alternate identity in the dungeon and became “Prince Bo.” There is a lot of duality and symbolism with him and Xing’er, and both have been shaped and molded by the trauma they both received throughout their lives. That is why the writers made it clear to viewers that the main characters understood they had an ill-fated love. Not only is the male lead a complex toxic character, BUT SO IS THE FEMALE LEAD. Learn how to be objective and read between the lines, please for the sake of the story, which I personally thought was beautifully told. Anyway, I appreciate your opinion although I could not disagree more.
