A tale of shit wrapped as muffin
Oh, where do I even begin with this masterpiece of logic-defying brilliance?
First question to anyone who’s had the endurance (or misfortune) to sit through this chaos:
She had to marry her brother-in-law to take care of her sister’s kid? Really? Because apparently being the aunt is just too basic now. Why be a guardian when you can be a crown princess-slash-replacement-wife-slash-lifelong martyr, right?
Now let’s talk about the writer, who deserves a standing ovation for crafting a female lead so obnoxious, so utterly insufferable, that hating her feels not just natural, but therapeutic. And yes, I get it—character arcs in these dramas go from “spawn of Satan” to “goddess of redemption” faster than a plot twist in a daily soap. I, however, chose peace. I dropped the show before witnessing her glitter-drenched rebirth.
Here’s what really had me internally combusting:
Sister #1, lying on her deathbed, still obsessed with preserving her husband’s legacy like a “devoted wife” and planning to emotionally blackmail her sister into marrying her husband using a single page letter. No apologies, no second thoughts—just vibes and manipulation.
Sister #2, who thinks marrying the brother-in-law is totally normal because a letter told her to. Not a single brain cell stopped her to ask, “Why do I need to marry him to help with a child?” Ever heard of being a loving aunt? Or may be that was too logical for her dead brain.
This walking red flag of a woman then proceeds to emotionally devastate the one man who truly loved her, tossing him aside with the excuse: “I want to be crown princess.” Yes, because saying “I'm sacrificing myself for the child” apparently wasn’t dramatic enough? So let's go for a statement chaotic enough.
And the cherry on top? Five years later, she sends a letter to her heartbroken ex, asking him to help save her husband’s ass. Talk about the audacity. She wants to claim all the spots of his priority that should rightfully belongs to his life partner but doesn't like his advances. She wants to use him as a husband on the expense of being mere acquaintance. She has compassion for entire world from that brother in law to servants of palace but the ML
Look, I know there’s a certain niche that lives for these “PLAYING YO-YO BETWEEN TWO MEN ” FLs —but this lead? She’s not torn, she’s utterly detached from logic, reason, and basic emotional accountability.
Plot had enough pot holes and casting wasn't too helpful either ...richard was fine not the best thanks to his hopeless role here and ming Jia Jia's bucktooth appearance and mediocre acting doens't appeal to me at all. for someone like me who gives equal importance to FL she doesnt serve the purpose.
