This drama had so much potential and really grabbed my attention for the first half but sadly it turned into a ridiculous mess. I feel disappointed in the lack of character development for the FL. Why is it that so called "Female empowerment" in dramas mean they treat the ML poorly? That there is a lack of commitment to the relationship? It's annoying. I feel robbed that we didn't get to see a badass power couple and a strong female lead that also showed human vulnerability
I'm trying to think of dramas that were able to achieve a complex (strong AND vulnerable) FL who respects, loves and is loyal to her man. Feel free to add!
Love Like the Galaxy Starry Love Love Between Fairy and Devil The Story of Pearl Girl Love in the Turquoise Land Lighter and Princess The Legend of Shen Li The Long Ballad
This is one a few dramas where I actually don't want the leads to end up together. At this point it's more true to the FL's character to end up alone, dedicating her life to the the Rong family and Tea. The ML should go on, have a career and find someone who actually prioritizes him/reciprocates feelings (CoughMentorsdaughtercough)
Seems so far SML is only interested in bringing ML and his business down; as to why exactly probably something…
I think her parents own the house. Maybe I missed understood but that's the impression I got. Which would explain the keys, but not the lack of consideration for her privacy π
If you want a badass/ female general I would recommend "The Long Ballad" "The Legend of Shen Li" "The Blue Whisper" over all the ones that are in the tournament
I'm hesitant to start this because I'm still scarred by how bad the ml actor's character was in My Boss
I love CXX but I couldn't finish My Boss either. I think the writing was boring. He is fantastic in Starry Love, Love in the Turquoise Land, Fall in Love, and of course the super grey, charismatic character in Goodbye My Princess.
This makes me kind of think that CXX at some point in the future may actually become a director himself: https://weibo.com/6097232839/5252832290931367
You can tell he is a true artist. In Starry Love he had a lot of input into the characters he played, he clearly cares about the craft and not just the fame
