I can’t get past FL stabbing a horse, to get even with someone, in the first episode!
She is actually very heartless when it comes to getting what she wants. she is manipulative and cruel. just because she treats her sisters and father kindly, others aren't so lucky. including her husband who is too nice to be tangled with her.
I'm starting to think he has 3 things in his contract. 1. He must show his abs. 2. he must be a stupid ML that acts like he's smart. 3. He must die at the end.
I'm actually feeling kind of sorry for Yuwen Hu. DBR seduced him, manipulated him, made promises to him and the moment she didn't need him any more, because he wasn't powerful enough for her, she ditched him. Then upon ditching him, made more promises to him when she needed him again. Broke said promises, which drove this man insane. Let's not even talk about how she set him up and ppl wonder why this dude is the way he is. Abused by the former emperor until he started to fight back and then lead astray by the queen of broken promises and betrayal, Dugu Ban Ruo.
She doesn't care who she hurts or have to sacrifice to get exactly what she wants. She's a villain too, in my eyes.
how did she even find her at the restaurant? (I thought maybe Tora tipped her off so she would ruin their relationship)(that…
I agree. When he scared the ex boyfriend, putting the gun to his head, I was on board. And then that was it. Nothing exciting. I even thought they would have the chick who caught him in the act at the bar would have a better plan to blackmail other than having him quit. Like, what is that supposed to do?
I agree about the FL at work. I can't see this women having any managerial position at work. The other employees would either take full advantage of her or bully her into submission. She doesn't have a spine that is necessary to stand your ground.
I'm on ep. 6 so we'll see if there is any improvement.

This series is actually pretty boring. I keep waiting for the Yakuza action to step in. The FL has a 1 dimensional personality and is basically the docile damsel in distressed.
I was wondering too, how she knew where she worked and when she was at the restaurant. That might have happened. I'm guilty for not paying 100% attention too because nothing is really happening. The little conflicts that have popped up are just skirmishes at most.
She could have easily just blocked the number instead of allowing her mom to harass her. Also, cutting her mother off a long time ago, would have let her mother know she wasn't the one, or the two.
Is it just me—or is anyone else weirded out that the K-drama Tempest (which centers around a high-profile political…
Not weird at all. there are even plotlines of political ppl faking assassinations. Rich and powerful ppl getting assassinated for various reasons has happened in stories since the beginning of storytelling.
I will never understand it when writers choose this sort of misunderstanding. It’s so obvious and irrational.…
It's the kind of misunderstanding trope I hate. it's lazy, lacks creativity and used just to create cheap drama. but at the cost of the story and characters. because the viewers/readers get frustrated with everything due to the fact that the characters are stupid. a simple conversation solves it. and they always wait until the worst happens to have that conversation. And once it's done, you wonder why they didn't bother to talk like adults in the first place.
In these types of dramas, why are they ALWAYS shocked when the person who is always framing them and scheming against them... does it again? Well, you keep them around, they still haven't gotten their way, what the hell do you expect?
I'm 29 episodes in and I'll come back to edit once I've finished. But after Lu Zhen gains a Lady Official position,…
it's bad because even though ppl have warned her and told her to be more cautious, she isn't. she trusts everyone she meets, doesn't second guess anyone and didn't tell her man that Ah Bi isn't her friend, so now he doesn't know to suspect her. she's troublesome. it's not a trap she hasn't fallen for. I'm trying to see what qualities she has to be the Female Prime Minister because that position is one where she'll have to contend with the male ministers of the court and she can't even defend herself at all right now. I'm on ep. 40 and I'm not impressed. she's either bailed out by luck or a man but never with her wits.
I'm on ep. 36 and the ML is the only one fighting for the relationship. FL has more patience for ppl who've tried to kill her than for him.
what I find annoying about characters like her, mainly females are written this way, is that she always wants to spare people who don't deserve to be spared. She acts like that will give her some grace with them and they just turn around and attack her again.
Trying to be a people pleasure will just get you played.
This dude shows up with the worst request all of the time. Always telling her to be patient and accept the treatment she gets from women he doesn't have any problems with. Yeah, dude, OF COURSE they're nice to you! They want you. But your girl has to deal with them hating on her and framing her just because she's there and smart.
He act like she provokes them and she doesn't. That would get on my nerves, so I don't blame her from being mad at him whenever he shows up asking her to play nice.
I will say that this chick is NEVER ahead of the game. She gets trapped in every frame job. But I'm to accept that she's supposed to be so smart. She has her moments when she listens to other people's insights. but as far as seeing a plot, or preparing to avoid one. NOPE. She never sees anything coming and either luck saves or someone else.
