To answer your question You wrote it yourself what defines a bad person. Her father got his wife’s family killed because he was jealous and didn’t want her to get married to another man. FL didn’t schemed to get ML’s family killed to marry him. Father wanted to get rid of his father (aka grandfather) and poisoned him. FL didn’t poison her father (maybe she should have, but then there wouldn’t be a drama to watch). What law, what court. We’re talking about ancient China, men can have 3 wifes and 4 concubines. Women can’t even remarry without getting bad reputation (example Deng Madam) whereas men can abuse their wives without consequences. At that time law was disadvantageous for women. No official position, lucky, if they can learn to read and write. Can’t inherit family heir. Can get easily sold to brothels. Contrary to father FL isn’t going around to kill and schemes to get people killed. Her actions are a response to her father’s doing. Imho that’s a huge difference. You’re putting a serial killer on the same level as the victim’s family who wants to get revenge. No, that’s not comparable. I’m not saying her methods aren’t ruthless but even a rabbit bites when put in a life and death situation. And rumours about Duke Qi and her father. It’s easier to spread rumours about women (without evidence see Consort Miao, being an unlucky star, was granted 3 feet silk) than about men. Since they don’t have evidenceyet (Duke Qi is a royal relative), you can also get easily killed for slander.
FL is not going to learn the importance of loved ones until ML dies (I foresee bad ending), her excessive demeaner…
It seems you didn’t get that her father schemed to get the whole family of his wife killed (wife’s father was his teacher!!!) because he tampered with the analects which enraged emperor. He also killed his own father and blamed it on his baby daughter. If his wife didn’t take the punishment, Han Yan would have died (20 strokes for a baby is death sentence). He also prevent treatment of wife so she was a cripple for 17 years. Furthermore after divorce he killed ex wife and her husband and the maids / servants in the inn. And he was also adopted son of the eunuch (as the son he laundered the money). Each one of his actions is despicable and yes he IS a villain, a very bad hypocrite villain who can sacrifice Everybody (even his other daughter).
Ok, just finished watching. Didn’t meet my expectations. I thought it would be a little like “The imperial coroner” but the ending was poor. How could Sangeng be so blind to avenge such a bad master. Even if he doesn’t know the truth about his father, he knows that Leng is corrupt. His character is disappointing.
Murdering people is the same as hurting people?
This logic is wrong.
Period!
