I’m sure the FL is a fine person and a decent actress, but I detest this character she plays a little more every week. She reminds me of the type person who will say one thing, mean another, then change her mind ten times in the next hour. And all will benefit her, not you, although she says it’s for you. I think I knew her in high school. I have trauma all these years later, haha.

Thank you so much for sharing this heart melting song; I didn’t know he was a singer, too! Such talent.🌸💗🌸💗

Lol

Ditto

With you on that. This has to be the most unethical experiment ever. Pretty sure all of the scientists would not only be barred from further research but should be criminally prosecuted. If I could be on the jury, I would send FL to prison first. Is that mean?🫤

My land, what a brutal bunch of females; two days in and the ML is slapped twice and whipped like a dog with even grandmother (isn’t she supposed to be dying?) wanting to take a turn. I guess Scared Straight programs are unnecessary to quell drug abuse when you have family members like that. Of course, he bravely takes it in stride and seems to recover immediately with no residual soreness or stiffness, no doubt because he was innocent all along. I wouldn’t watch another minute if it wasn’t so sleazily entertaining and if I didn’t like this actor so much. Oh, well! 😁🥳

I love it when they do this. I will literally never get over the two stars of Goodbye Princess performing together after that heartbreaker. Chinese actors are so talented!

I’m impressed as well! This is one of the few times I’ve seen a drama get better and better as it goes along. Part of it is the sweet, loving relationship the main couple has finally reached. Sometimes the sweet part is delayed until the last five minutes of the final episode, or so it seems. 😁 I love these two!

I just feel like I have to say this even though I’m pretty sure we all know it: If you have to crush the feelings and self-worth of a loved one by pretending to scorn them while “loving” someone else, consider for a blank-brained minute that the cure just might be worse than the disease. If someone treated me the way FL has acted toward ML in recent episodes, I would never in my life forgive them because my trust would be gone forever.

It got my attention! 😅

The truck swerving to miss the Lee Sang Yi character did it for me! I wish more dramas would twist the tropes like this; how fun it would be. But I do wish every single series didn’t feel it necessary to pull out a medicine kit to doctor the sweetie’s tiny scratches. Are thye little helpless children? 🧐

I agree with you, Exo_love. This is my favorite current drama, and I watch a lot. A big surprise for me is how much I enjoy Lee Sang Yi’s role, which is sending the laughs for me (and irritation as well as compassion) big time.

I would find them cringe, too, but probably less so when younger. I guess I like the attentive male trope but not when it goes too far. When a ML takes multiple abuses and comes back for more, I start thinking he has a problem.

👍👍👍👏👏👏

Oh, yes, please! 😂

I’m happy to see independent, decisive female roles appear but am beginning to think writers of Asian dramas have confusion over what constitutes a strong female lead. It shouldn’t mean they treat the ML worse than a wild dog in the street, kicking him to the curb for no good reason while spreading love and sunshine to everyone else. When a ML persists trying to win the love of such a female, I am honestly bewildered and disappointed; I don’t see it as romantic at all. What I’d love to watch is a ML who takes the hint and finds someone who appreciates him enough to treat him as a human being. Then the FL realizes she has made a terrible mistake and spends the rest of the drama trying to get him back. But no, he stays with the 2FL and has a marvelous, peaceful life while the FL grows from this step into reality and either stays alone or tentatively starts dating again. Just once! Please.

Right?

One of the hallmarks of certain mental illnesses is the inability to make good, logical choices. To put it plainly, with depression (and other mental conditions), cognitive functioning is impaired. They will make the same wrong choices over and over. I have seen many such people in real life who appear to be their own worst enemy. The ML was basically abandoned as a child with no loving guidance in his life to help him form logical choices good for him. Despise him for not immediately becoming sensible after brain surgery? I will never do it. He literally has no one on his side to guide him or empathize with his miserable life. If I stop following this drama, it will be because I can no longer watch the abuse toward this sweet person; it won’t have anything to do with supposed lacks in his character.

It seems harsh to me to call a mentally ill character spineless. Clearly he started in a deeply depressed state with PTSD, and losing his memories/having a personality transplant due to experimental procedures he didn’t acquiesce to hasn’t helped him all that much. Personally, I find him the only person interesting and complex enough to keep watching for and have much sympathy for him.

Cold as ice.
