Somebody wrote in a review that “it’s hard to watch 36 episodes and keep track of all of the plot points,…
the story of Minglan and yanxi palace are masterpieces those dramas were the reason why I became a lover of historical dramas it was just too good! still looking for something similar. this drama had the potential to be great but it became lacklustre towards the end I stopped paying attention and truly only finished out of pride 🤣 I agree with your point no observations added 💙🩵
one of the best dramas I’ve seen in a while that I actually binged and I’ve seen many over the years. I loved the slow growth of love between the OPs and I picked up a lesson or two from the drama. lesson 1: some people don’t recognise love or fail to recognise love even if it hits them in the face. Focusing on your past can be an hindrance to truly discovering love and seeing that you’re surrounded by love. 2. comparison is truly the theif of joy links to point 1 above. 3. Trust trumps love sometimes love is not enough but trust is truly the glue.
Enjoyed this the actor that played the FL Father deserves his flowers. Although I felt it did get draggy somewhat I enjoyed the lessons from this drama. 1. Being a noble lady is not about following societal expectations and thinking you’ve won but about being able to pull away from that box that women have always been put in to endure. 2. There is something scared about women banding together for a common cause. really enjoyed this one.
I just started this. I’m on episode three but the second female lead is doing my head in. How can you say you…
I have now finished this drama and I am back to update. I saw a comment earlier I think it beautifully encapsulates this drama. This drama is about hurt people it’s about how people deal with their hurt, and project their inner state on to others. This dramas explores how people self sabotage because of what they believe they deserve due to one trauma or another that happened to them. It explored different themes such as loss, unhealthy relational dependencies and hopelessness. I felt that some of the questions I had were answered here in the comments and I do believe that there were a number of arcs that weren’t really fleshed out for example why Noh in Jin felt it was her fault her friend died. Or how she killed her mother.
while I never got the blame part where everyone blamed the FL!like her ex, I didnt understand why he blamed her.…
I don’t think she pushed him to be openly Bi again it was Eum Tae Sung that sent the details to the mother of Noh In Jin who then wrote the article. I think she was just happy to be with Do ha she didn’t care and because she didn’t care Do Ha forgot how the world was so when it got exposed he blamed her for allowing him to live in a pipe dream where he didn’t need to be ‘careful’ I am using careful here for a lack of a better word. Hence why Noh In Jin was stuck looking after his place because she felt guilty since it was her mum that ruined his life and 2. Do ha never ended the marriage with her face to face.
I just started this. I’m on episode three but the second female lead is doing my head in. How can you say you love someone and torture them? It’s bizarre first you propose this contract marriage and then you’re still clinging on to the guy. Honestly feels so sorry for the male lead because this woman is cruel.
As someone with a genetic disorder that has no cure, I deeply relate to SR's situation. Living with the awareness of your mortality is something you face daily. Unlike SR, many of us don’t have a long-time best friend who loves us, which is where she’s fortunate. I understand why she rejected SH—there’s a real fear that if something happens to her, how would he cope? Being vulnerable, especially when you’re in pain, unable to walk or even eat as you once could, is overwhelming.
Asking someone to take on that kind of responsibility, to be a caregiver, is a lot, and I believe that's where SR is coming from. She’s been realistic, having gone through this once before with her first fiancé, and we saw how that ended. It’s not about fault, but about the emotional toll caregiving can take on a loved one. She’s fortunate that her best friend has turned into her lover, but for those who don’t have that, we grapple with the question: is it selfish to ask someone to love us despite knowing the burden of our condition?
These are real concerns people with chronic and debilitating conditions face every day. Xuehua’s comment summed it up well, balancing both perspectives. However, I wanted to highlight that SR's fears are relatable and realistic. It’s hard to fully understand if you haven’t cared for an ailing loved one or lived with a lifelong illness that constantly reminds you of your mortality. Balancing the desire to leave a mark on the world without pushing yourself to the point of illness is a daily struggle.
ok but putting hating the character aside. Jung Soo Min's actress Song Ha Yoon is doing so well. Like shes the…
Omgggg yes i was just thinking this like she’s killing the villain vibes so much the sweet the innocent the ugly like hats off to her as an actress I’m so invested and it’s also not your typical I just hate you for no reason trope. You can see where it all stems from! How she focuses on something till it’s hers.
Frustrated with QQ, for she can tell GH but cannot tell ZJ ? He told his real reason for being with Overdose.…
I agree it is so frustrating to see honestly and I love your perspective on GH the wife needs GH to shine for her and her husband to shine, I am curious to why his eldest doesn't have that pressure
having only watched episode 24 I do not know how to feel, I know LQQ is working hard and as a goal in mind, I love that she as attained success whilst being true to herself and principles but I feel for ZJ her treatment of ZJ isn't great at times, I know LQQ wants the best for ZJ and vice versa but the lack of communication and empathy towards him isn't there. We can see that ZJ wants to do better by her but I don't see that being reciprocated by her. I am rooting for her to succeed and leave like she always wanted but I feel she's doing ZJ more damage than good. The poor boy issues of abandonment has led him to the only place that makes him feel wanted hence why he said he was happy there. GH is struggling with jealousy of LQQ I just hope she understands her feelings and does not get consumed by it. GH is an example of a person that can't have others succeed around her except if she is on top, through no fault of her own her family background has fostered it. I think that is why she is intrigued by LQQ. The interpretation of Anna Karina is that LQQ isn't going to allow love or anyone for that matter stand in her way, however this although a good thing if not balanced right can be detrimental. This drama has so much important life lessons and is really in depth. I can understand if it has an open ending sometimes it's not the romance but the underlying message thereof.
I just think Mew was still hurt, confused and definitely he didn't want Ray to expose the cheating thing on his…
Yes and I saw a comment you posted earlier that Ray needs therapy (I agree he definitely has abandonment issues) and I’m hoping that this drama shows him actually pursuing that whilst still finding comfort in Sand especially for it not to turn into an obsessive kind of relationship.
lesson 1: some people
don’t recognise love or fail to recognise love even if it hits them in the face. Focusing on your past can be an hindrance to truly discovering love and seeing that you’re surrounded by love.
2. comparison is truly the theif of joy links to point 1 above.
3. Trust trumps love sometimes love is not enough but trust is truly the glue.
1. Being a noble lady is not about following societal expectations and thinking you’ve won but about being able to pull away from that box that women have always been put in to endure.

Those are my thoughts.
