Does it have its cliches? Yes. Does it have ridiculous moments like her becoming a skilled martial artist in a few months when it takes others years? Yes. Does it have a ML with a horrible unflattering wig? Yes. But it's fun. The FL has more intelligent moments than stupid ones, if that helps. I'm on ep. 16 now, so that may change. Villains are fun to watch and I enjoy seeing them get theirs.

And like with nearly ALL these types of shows, the ML must be on his death bed before the FL admits she loves him and wants to be with him. I'm not sure if that will happen with this one, but I feel like it will.

I'm trying to understand and like this character, but it's hard. Her indifference towards the ML is stealing my joy. I get why she is like that, but with a series being 25 episodes, and it's supposed to be a romance, I'm not enjoying the leads not being together, even at ep. 22 all because she's still thinking about getting back to her world.

Lol, IKR. I like shows where an elite bodyguard has to protect someone. Like Red Swan and K2. I'm on ep. 4 of this one.

She's hard-headed. LOL. My guy said "Get off the train" she stayed on the train. he said "Don't sit down" and she sat down. I bet she'll follow directions next time.

These ppl wear their emotions on their faces all day, every day. Not one can hold a poker face to save their lives. And the ML always talking about integrity, all of his plans fail. Perhaps he needs to play dirty See, if I were him, I'd start seducing the eldest daughter, marry her and really start manipulating her into insanity. Gaslighting her, making her even more jealous of the FL to the point where she makes a mistake and either dies or goes to jail. That's if you want to play with your prey.

I'm always of the mind to just go John wick-style on revenge. this other sh!t takes too long and isn't a guarantee that you'll succeed. Blowing up the building when nobody is there would hurt them big time. And I would have done that without revealing myself, so they wouldn't even know WHO was after them.

I agree. I feel bad for the male lead who is feeling like he's the only one fighting for their relationship. He must be so confused. If she didn't love him, why save his life? If she didn't love him, why help him get out of jail? If she didn't love him, why marry him again?

She doesn't realize that he's not just trying to fight against having a concubine, but also against schemes that could ruin their business and her chances at becoming the Top Tea Merchant. She's not thinking about that because she's so afraid of falling in love, or at least admitting that she did. And that's where she needs to be honest with herself/himself and really think about what he wants.

I bet it's not even about him staying in the game forever. It's about him being honest with his feelings. Allowing someone inside his heart and working as a team because of love, not a business deal. Once he's honest and accepts the love the ML is giving and together they win. He'll return. But as long as he's refusing to fall in love, he'll be stuck at 90% with the TOP Tea title and wondering why he hasn't returned.

I love her dad. lOL

I can see why you said that because of how she tries to act like she doesn't care. I think she's at war with herself in the sense that she does love him, but doesn't want to get too attached, because in his/her mind, the goal is to complete the mission and leave that world. And if she/he gets too attached to the people in that world, he may never return to his real world.

At least, that's what makes sense to me. But I agree, she is being foolish by how she's acting regarding this other woman and not communicating with her husband.

This guy doesn't know how to put his foot down about anything. He needs to be more assertive. If he doesn't want her father to scoop her up again, he better handle his damn business.

If i was the ML I'd say 'since you don't love me, I don't care if you win top tea title or not. Let's divorce, then."

I like the cut of her jib and she has a mean slapping hand. LOL Is this something new? nope. But it looks fun.

this woman hasn't been one step ahead yet. She's either struggling to keep up and fighting to keep her position. She's never smart enough to be ahead of the game. And neither are the two ppl working with her.

I will say that she's not the smartest person. At least not right now. She's taken hostage and trying to tell everyone that she isn't who they are looking for.

Which is dumb. Because they have no incentive to let you go if you aren't important to them.

Kidnapper "I want you to pay me double what your brother wants for you and you can live"

Her "I'm not the person you want?"

Kidnapper"so you don't have money, power and influence?"

Her. "No. I'm just a regular broke ass citizen."

Kidnapper "oh, well looks like I'm wasting my time and since you've already seen my face and too much other things. I'll just kill you."

That's how that scenario will go. She acts like by telling them the truth, they'll release her. When all the truth does is make you less valuable to them.

Ep. 13.. yeah, the first thing I would have done was sneeze as soon as that chick was choking me. Would have never made it to the other location. He's not going to have any tails left messing around with her. She stay getting poisoned. LOL

I agree. I saw the ratings and was like "Who is out here on these Mydrama list cdrams streets rating this gem low?"

I'm enjoying this little series and MLs jealousy has me cackling. And really, he's a god and they are known to be petty and jealous, so it checks out. And he sees all humans as beneath him, so why would he care about their attitudes. They are no threat to him, that's how he sees it.

And I like that this is a smart FL who isn't afraid to get hands on with her revenge. I love the chemistry between the two leads. I can't wait to watch more.

Her mistake is not recording all of these conversations.

I wonder, all Siyu would have to do is sign all of his shares over to his woman and that's a done deal. Lu family over with, right?

Saw ep.9 and she's lucky ML is into her because if he was another kind of dude, he may want his own revenge after that kind of treatment. Even if it takes 10 years for him to make her pay for using him like that. And it would be understandable and justifiable.

That's a fair breakdown. There has been scenarios where it was obvious and Shen still didn't catch on. His denial game is strong. I have other issues with this couple, though, so I'm not really all that invested in them. I probably won't be until Shen sees that Gao an omega and the one he hooked up with.

They are really dragging this Gao/Shen story out. It makes sense that Sheng doesn't know who Hua really is because he's playing two different roles. One is the sensitive lover who's so innocent but loves Sheng and the other is a ruthless, manipulative toxic obsessed lover who is willing to break the man's heart in order to tear him down and rebuild him the way he wants. Add the business man who stay elusive aspect to Hua and Sheng is no match.

But Shen ang Gao, that mystery isn't even a real mystery. Shen not putting two and two together at this point just makes him look extremely clueless, dumb and someone who doesn't pay a lick of attention to Gao until he's missing. Like is her purposely lying to himself about the omega scent he always smells around Gao believing it's really a lover of Gao's he never freaking met in the whole time they've known each other?

All of their scenes are rinse and repeat. Shen complaining about the "filthy omega" and belittling Gao who just holds his head down and takes it like a spineless punching bag. I've gotten to the point of skipping through their repetitive nonsense. I'll watch their scenes in full once something different happens.
