They do it all of the time. It gets annoying. And sometimes when they do it, they either have the hostage figure out how to defend themselves.. which I expected this FL to do. Or they'll have the hostage commit suicide as to not be used against the other character. Or they will have the other character submit to the villains terms.

This happened in Shadow Love in a situation where a highly skilled female warrior was taken hostage, knife to throat. And it made no sense to me how it ended considering what she was capable of.

That was the excuse they gave. That she wants to stay around familiar ppl, but even that doesn't make sense when those ppl are trying to kill you. She already knows who they are and her supposed relationship with each of them.

She's getting dumber the longer she stays there and really depending on luck and the cop to save her. Like it was the cop who revealed who pushed the mom down the stairs. It was luck that saved her from the DNA test, not her own craftiness. And the fact that she was worried about the results proves that she knows she's not this woman.

So, staying there will not help her remember who she is if the purpose is to surround yourself with familiar settings. She needs to go to her real home and see photos of her real family.

She could kill her husband, get his shares, and not even have to be in the same house. She had no problem killing ppl before.

If I was her, I would have been killed off that family. She's completely justified in doing so too, because not a day goes by when someone isn't trying to kill her first.

I wouldn't even be living there. She can try to find out who she is in an environment that isn't toxic and dangerous. They bully her all day and she's succumbed to a lot of it. That's how they managed to trick her and steal her blood.

And the cop isn't around her , but he always shows up to save her. 😂

Okay, I'll learn more as the story goes. I'm on ep. 2 now and he just sent her away which opened the door for that Lord to try to force his spies on him. I love scheming like that. 😂.

They really were. The whole kingdom is probably better off being done with that line.

Me too. But he was too cruel of an emperor to live.

It looked like one of his moves during the fight. And if is not one of his abilities, what makes her master think he has the antidote? If anyone can create that poison, then shouldn't more than one person have the antidote? Now, if it's one of his abilities, it makes sense that the person who can conjure it may also be the same person who can cure it. Perhaps that how he got the power while in prison. Because it was mentioned that he got the ability and that's why he was allowed to fight.

OMG, his sister was a hot mess.

That makes him a very dangerous opponent. He is supposed to use his best weapon in a battle. He didn't kill his opponent when he could have.

This works for me. Thank you. Yeah, she was poisoned, which makes him a dangerous opponent because his own abilities have the power to give or take away someone else's power and eventually kill them. But I don't think he knows about this ... I could be wrong though. On ep. 2.

I'm sure I will. As long as the characters are smart, the action is fun, the romance is spicy and adorable and the villains are dastardly. I'm happy. And if they throw him and/or her some obsessed admires stalking and scheming... Chef's kiss.

I'm rarely interested in the SL characters and their blossoming relationships. I tend to skip some scenes that take me away from what I want.

I totally get where you're coming from. It did go on for a long time and that's one of the reasons I don't like those tropes. Another reason is, and why I said they did a little something different, was most of the time, someone will tell them a lie about the person they trust to make them turn on that person and start trusting them instead. With this one, it was going in the direction, but then he uses common sense and immediately decided to continue to trust her. I found that refreshing. But it did drag on and when he got his memory back ..I had to watch them fall back I love all over again. Not a fan of that really. Although, her seeing the real him as a Prince and general was interesting.


As for this one, I felt like he did fight fair because he used his own abilities. She just happened to get poisoned because she already had the spirit lines or whatever they're called. Had she not had them, she would have gained them and been stronger. She used a weapon made from her blood and he used one made from his body too. His was better.

It was so good. I just finished watching Shadow Love and that was another one that did something different with the Amnesia trope. And those fight scenes were great.

Okay. I will say that I liked that she was actually using magic to look like a man as opposed to just dressing like one. I thought that was cool.

It's all good. I've just been watching some great shows with that tropes. And if it goes on a while, I'll be prepared. Fated Hearts hit me with some tropes that other shows drag out, but they didn't. They had the characters rationalizing situations and I appreciated that.

I'm only on ep. 1 but this series has a lot going for it so far. We can chat some more if you don't mind .

Don't tell me what's the show for me. I know what I like and what I don't. You act ike that all the show has to offer. You're doing too much ... All you had to say, if you felt compelled to say anything .. was "be prepared, the fake identity thing goes on for 26 episodes". And I would have been like. "Okay".

Just started on ep. 1. So far, she's coming off as a sore loser, 😂 but I'm only 10 mins in. I understand her need to meet the man. He did defeat her, IMO, he was the better fighter. so far, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing.

What I hope I don't see is the "fake Identity" trope drag on for so long, like some do. The person will cling to that lie even when everyone else around them already knows the truth. It just gets frustrating, so I hope it doesn't wear out its welcome. Enemies to Lovers trope. I'm hoping I don't have to wait until the last 5 to 10 eps for them to fall in love, or admit they are in love.

With that, I'm hopeful and excited.

I was on ep 7 when I saw this post. 😂 Made me excited to see ep. 8. I concur, it was 💥💥💥.

I loved how he was like... Don't think I won't. You're playing with 🔥

I would have killed everyone in that house already just like she killed the men in the first episode. They were less egregious. She's actually justified in eliminating the whole family since every last one of them have tried to kill her first.

She is damn near becoming what the other woman was. Docile and obedient and falling for traps. Why stay in that house? Why hasn't she asked for a divorce yet?
