She's giving Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and is reading like she's on the spectrum (this could very well be projection on my part). But she has a hard time reading others, she is quick to anger when she feels rejected and is more likely to cut someone out of her life than deal with a complex emotional conversation.
I'm giving the character some grace as she isn't able to see the calculations of those closest to her. Also. she even mentions that he/she were raised in an environment that made it so they were trained to hide all of their emotions. Which is probably why she has such a hard time reading romantic feelings of others. She wasn't exposed to what it is SUPPOSED to look like so she can't see it even when it's there.
She can understand backhanded talk and political intrigues because that is what she was raised around. And because she was in such a high position and feared by others in the palace they would have never dropped their mask for her i.e. her being completely in the dark about the Crown Princess/Empress(wife of her brother)'s true personality.
We're only a quarter of the way into the drama so I'm hoping for lots of self realizations and blinds being removed from her eyes when it comes to SRQ. Him getting closer to her brother should be setting off alarm bells, but she's so busy with other things at the moment it isn't taking priority.
I went to the analytics section of this show to see what the age ranges of viewers were on MDL....whenever the…
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Jealousy Incarnate, Love in the Moonlight, Secret Garden, Moving are some of the only 20 plus episode dramas that I would recommend to others. There are more that I personally like, but I can see them with 20/20 and know that there are some draggy parts so I wouldn't really recommend those ones. The one kdrama that I watched that is over 50 episodes went to hell in a handbasket because the ML actor had prior commitments and they decided to extend the show by like 12 episodes close the wrap time and he had to tell them "Yeah, I'm not going to cancel my international event that fans paid for to accommodate an uncontracted filming schedule." They literally changed which character was the ML about halfway through the show....they made the villain the ML and turned a psycho killer into a golden retriever simp boy for the wife he had tried multiple times to kill and cheated on throughout the show. It was weird and I vowed never again will I waste my time on a live production drama. (aka a drama that hasn't finished filming before the episodes start airing.)

Those same people don't know what to do when the kdrama is more than 16 episodes. And now with the norm become more shows in the 8 to 12 episode range a lot of newer viewers are confused as all get out. I'm like, slow your roll there Lighting McQueen...let the people cook.
petition to change the main show photo back to https://kisskh.at/photos/vX5Y1Z_3 cause the one they have right now just isn't given the right tone/vibe of the overall show.
like Unchained Love, the ML is a fake Eunuch. I love these short dramas ❤️
Not me scrolling through comments to see if he's actually a Eunuch or not cause...you know romance...unless this is the most epic ace love ever i was extremely confused.
The rain scene was the most memorable for me. The push and pull aspect, the seductive gazes, their faces centimetres…
They really had a no on screen fraternization with unmarried pairs in this one. Even the adulterers' kisses were blocked/edited in a way that you didn't see anything.
Yes he does which makes things interesting as he can now pursue her and be openly evil :)
Oh side question...speaking of SOKP. I haven't seen it yet and was debating whether or not to watch it while waiting for episodes of TPR to release. Should I wait until I finish TPR as the plots are very similar and have the same actor playing the ML? Or should I just dive right in? Also in SOKP is the FL the only one with her memories of her past-future?
I'm not sure what it is about the 2ML's styling, but he looks like a sickly Victorian child every time he's on screen. I don't know if it's the hair, the make-up or just the overall styling, but it's giving Wormtongue whispering in King Theoden's ear.
They sort of expounded a little when she spoke about pitying him, but they haven't delved much into her "internal" thoughts on him specifically yet. I think this first quarter or so of the drama is mainly focusing on getting all the players introduced before shit really starts to hit the fan. Like PWX, I am frustrated with her lack of emotional clarity on the person responsible for both of their deaths. The ONLY defense I have for her at the moment, and it's on thin ice, with regrades to her vagueness of feelings for SQR, is that she thinks that he knows nothing of the future and is fully his young "innocent" self. Was he ever "innocent" idk, but Imma need our girl to open her ears a little harder and realize he's just like her and her hubby. The call is coming from inside the house...run girl...run.
I think it is crazy that people find it boring or not interesting. So far it is really intriguing, ML and FL doing…
I went to the analytics section of this show to see what the age ranges of viewers were on MDL....whenever the main demo is below the age of 24 the comment section ends up being a bit messy. More so if the characters themselves are technically much older than the views watching it. A lot of it can be age of viewer or what they are used to watching. If they aren't used to a slow burn they get bored by episode 8 if the characters aren't hooking up and professing feelings(mainly those used to Korean drama episode length).
I've also noticed that a lot of people who don't watch a lot of Chinese dramas have a lot of misconceptions about what genre and episode count means to the pacing of the drama. They don't realize that just by an episode count you can normally pinpoint when certain things are going to happen between characters.
I can sort of understand frustrations when you're half way through a drama and "nothing" has happened, but we are barely a quarter out the gate...like the water is still trying to boil...they're not even really cooking yet, they're just setting up the ingredients to make a bombass meal.
Agree, how disrespectful bandaging her hand when her husband is RIGHT THERE. To be fair though I wish she’d…
I'm just a bit confused as to how she can so easily forgive/forget that he is responsible for her death...a slow painful poisoning, and yet couldn't get over her husband helping her sister-in-law during an extremely difficult time in her life? I guess it goes to show that she really doesn't have any feelings for SRQ outside of pity and a sense of guilt. Now if she showed jealousy toward SRQ I would be more concerned, but there really hasn't been any indication that she has deep feelings of love for SRQ. But the staring is more than getting on my nerves at this point. Also, she needs to replay what he said on her wedding day one more time and really THINK about it. Because home boy is moving like his 40 year old self not his 20 year old self. PAY ATTENTION my girl.
