After seeing the trailer of this I already knew it wasn't for me but I still give it a shoot. And... Yeah, it's just not for me at all. Everything was said in comments below so I will not elaborate more. It's just I can't say I'm disappointed as I didn't have any expectation to begin with. ^^'
And on another note. What the deal with her mother ? He is adopted or what ? Or he is the illegitimate child of his father ? Oo
I can't see a mother going so hard to make her child suffer just to get back at her ex-husband. I already struggle to see that if my theory is right to be honest. She is a bit like a cartoonish villain with her cocky "secretary" doing her evil doing. I don't expect any depth to this character but I still hope I'm wrong.
I don't think it will happen but when Jin said all his friend group (with Phu) were odd & after learning he could read mind, I was wondering if all of them would have "superpower" like in a Marvel with Phu as a Queen Bee (as he also did attract Cir) for some reason. :P
But the others don't give this vibe, so I don't think it will go this far. I'm also confused at how many here are 100% certain that Cir just lie or have mental issue about all this parallel universe theory. Because so far, it's strongly hint that everything he experienced his "real" and couldn't be explained with just him having mental issue. :o
Or maybe I'm gullible. Also, the trailer of this show also hinted that it was truly a parallel universe setting. But maybe it was for misleading us ? I don't know. It's just that I see everyone saying it isn't that.

IT WAS SO HORRIBLE I CAN'T LOOK AT THE MALE LEAD WITHOUT THINKING OF HOW HE CONVINCED THAT SPINELESS ASSHOLE TO…
Yeah, I was also surprised with ML being fine with that idea and even FL doing "apparently" nothing (as like I said, it's not show that she informed her sister) when she discovered that scheme. She still left her sister in the dark to be honest.

I don't really know if she was traumatized or she was acting to make him spill the bean. I could be wrong as it's unclear & really clumsy writing here.
And from what I understood for their storyline is to "educate" him into a decent human being so they show first how "trashy" he is first to have a more clear character growth.
You know it's a Period Drama, right ? Unfortunately, it's historically accurate that women were treated like object…
Again, talking nicely wont hurt you. And stop making assumption about this unfinished drama or me. As so far, all women from the Li Family didn't take any grievance from men without fighting back. It's literally how feminism started.

It was cleared somehow as his wife already discovered it with the "pillow talk" (probably her sister said something to her) and the husband was found "hiding" in the hen house by his mother after that.
You know it's a Period Drama, right ? Unfortunately, it's historically accurate that women were treated like object…
Have you even watch this ? Where did they fall in love with men that abused them ? They literally send one to semi-exile and broke the leg of another...
And learn to talk to somebody without being disrespectful. You just look silly and give a bad name to genuine people that support feminism...
This is such a good drama but I must say the misunderstanding at ep6 did annoy me, but then again what was she…
My biggest grievance here for me is that he is a Smart ML. How can he be that clueless here ? Like "gifts" were send and throw back multiple time. It wasn't a secret or it should be easy to find out what happened. So it would lead to: "My Mother try to make this marriage difficult". Then, the marriage is called off and he just let go like that without really searching ?
I'm not really blaming him as for me it's just lazy writing to add drama that warp the ML personality to make problem arise. Anyway, I was sure it would happen somehow as it's ep. 6. The marriage and HE was waaaaay too quick but I just hoped a more clever way to do it.
Another pile of steaming women being treated like shit but they'll probably lying dall in l9ve with these assholes…
You know it's a Period Drama, right ? Unfortunately, it's historically accurate that women were treated like object (and even worst). And what you see here is sugar-coated as already two of them were punished for their misogynistic behavior. If you are really sensible to those behavior I will advise you to stay far away from Period Drama.
On another hand... I think your last sentence was very unnecessary. Shaming others peoples for their tastes just bring you down more than anything.
Her comment gave me ONE SPRING NIGHT vibes. From a Korean POV it makes sense to include it. But from western gaze…
I agree to an extend but not at how she made it. She could have express her worry for the child (not easy when a single parent get a new partner) or if she is ready for that type of relationship (it's a bit unavoidable that the child will be an important of the your partner's life). Also, she could have been worried for both of them as FL isn't the most perfect being either.
But no, she just straight up said: "You shouldn't date him because he has a child. You deserve better, a "normal" relationship". It isn't what a friend with both of them would say.
But like again, it's maybe a Korean thing that single parent are still stigmatized.
most prolly because she is about to appear in a censored GL drama~
And... Most of them did get malicious comment (like the actor that played in "Love in the Big City" recently). Korea is a bit behind about LGBT+ inclusion.
For all the Jun hate. Thame really need a wing man as he is kind of passive. He need to be stimulated! Like I understand that Jun was annoying here but Thame is the one that let all of that happen by being kind of dodgy and go to much with the flow. Like with the last text message from Jun. Why Thame didn't text ? He know he was late. I know it's written to add drama but if I would blame someone, Thame would be my first target.
And he doesn't have just one wing man, Per is also here to push him every time! Hope in ep. 8 he will be more proactive.
-The romance between both couple. BS & FY are obviously a fan favorite but I also really liked the second couple. -The way it was narrated as a journey. -The worldbuilding: The different species & deities with their own cultures & values. -All the costumes, make-up, landscape & CGI were really well made and really illustrate the worldbuilding beautifully.
What I disliked:
-Too many death. At some point it kind of lost it's meaning and I was almost indifferent to those emotional scenes. Except BS, everyone in the Main Cast died (and FY that keep resurrecting :p).

So obviously, it was a great drama: 9.5/10.
