Not sure if I'll be able to handle the angst tomorrow, but I also don't have enough self-control to wait till Monday. I think it'll be a roller coaster ride this week.

Ha! My hubby doesn't like the romance either.

I love how HC now respects FLX as an opponent. Things have definitely kicked up a notch.

Definitely! He can sure emote with his eyes. Love how complex some of these characters are.

I guess from YWY's POV, he and all his descendants are victims of this curse. Hope they'll show a more grey side to him.

I'm ready for the next arc. The sons (HC and BFX) are so much smarter than their dads.

Sadly, it'll be unrealistic for him to survive. Hopefully, he'll have an honourable ending. I do appreciate how grey they have written his character.

I think he knows cuz he already knows how he feels towards her, and it's a big no to discuss your first crush with the girl you like. I don't think she's intentionally trying to hide her identity from him either cuz she wouldn't say that she's been to the hall when she was young. I think they both know that things will get complicated if politics are involved. They both desire to be their Wuxia selves, but unfortunately, they carry the burden of their people.

Ha! So much self control!

I love watching them eat, and they seem to really enjoy watching each other eat.

Do you know if is it only on Netflix in the States?

Exactly! It would make way more sense why he would so easily let her represent Mobei.

Pusa is his uncle. CG's mom was a princess. It would love to see more interactions of him and Change too :)

I find these romances much more satisfying to watch than the ones where the leads get together for no particular reason. The development is what makes it interesting. They are showing the progress of a realistic, lasting relationship.

They are very natural in their roles. I feel like I'm eavesdropping on their conversations - very different from your typical cdrama romance.

I really like the conversations between the leads - shows a more mature and relatable relationship.

I think in real life he's actually older than her, but his character comes across as being really naive and inexperienced. The FL has experienced a lot of hardships and acts more mature. Bailu conveys her character well. I'm not quite sold on the pairing.

I agree. He doesn't have ADHD nor ADD. He might have Asperger's or high functioning autism, but I still think that's a stretch. His upbringing in a dysfunctional family contributed greatly to his weak communication skills.

I love the character development of the second couple because they showed their vulnerability and grew and learned through the various conflicts that they encountered. HD and LY are dynamic, round characters. I found the ML too "perfect" and wished that the screenwriters showed depth and growth through his experiences as well. Thank you for writing such an insightful article.

What perfect timing! I just started watching this on Netflix and LOVE it! I really like the mature responses that would typically be major misunderstandings in other dramas. It's my first kdrama too;)
