My take will be a bit different.
I've got an issue when they try to play the lead heroes as the good guy as if their actions are justified. The second brother was the main villain to me because he's the reasons for a lot of drama over his imagined slights and should have had to pay the price for his stupid and selfish actions. But the ML was selfish and would rather risk the lives of thousands just to spare someone who wouldn't spare him. To spare someone who caused so much death.
The moment he sided with his brother was the moment everyone became a villain to me. And it's like NO one really told the second brother off like he needed to be. Instead they let him continue to act like he was the one who was done wrong.
I didn't have anyone to root for towards the end because of the self sacrificing that was going on all to placate some spoiled brat.
I also don't like when characters do stupid stuff just to extend the story like not kill Mr. Fu when he had the chance.
This went on far too long. This story could have been told in 24 episodes or less.
Starting us in the middle of a 2 year marriage and not really showing us too much as to why there was so much distance and coldness between the leads. It should have started from beginning to end. The premise makes it seem like he forced her to break up with her childhood lover and did everything in his power to marry him. But that isn't what happened.
He played a part in her families Denise, but that wasn't him plotting to get her. It just so happened he fell in love at first sight and didn't realize the connection until it was too late. Even still her mom pushed her into that marriage and she was willing to do it anyway to honor her mom. So, since that was her decision, why the cold shoulder then?
But then you have the ML trying to hide his true nature at the expense of his reputation. And instead of cluing her in, he keeps her locked out of his plans as if she's too delicate or stupid to handle it. And as the series progresses she just gets used to that's just how he does things.
The ending was the most satisfying moment.
