FL's brother is a lost cause. His sister is missing in the woods, he finds out his crush knew and kept quiet, and all he asks for is a half-hearted “sorry.” No anger, no accountability, no recognition of how twisted that is, just a quick apology and back to puppy-dog eyes. He didn’t just miss the red flags, he folded them into a heart shape.
we’re supposed to believe this FL is a legendary general out for revenge, but all she’s done so far is act childish, get drunk, and goof around . And people say 'it’s all part of the plan' okay, sure. Meanwhile, we’re also expected to turn off our brains and accept that no one notices she’s obviously a woman? So we need big brain energy to justify her behavior, but no logic at all when it comes to basic disguise? Make it make sense. Writers and makeup team, she’s not undercover, she’s just painfully underwritten
it's just starting only 4 eps if you're disappointed don't watch then but don't discourage others here
It’s a discussion forum, not a fan club. I’m allowed to be disappointed just like others are allowed to love it. If people can praise it after 1 episode, I can say I’m not feeling it after 4.
Kinda disappointed, tbh. I expected the drama to have a darker tone since it’s a revenge story, but there are way too many funny scenes that throw off the vibe. The FL is super goofy, and even if that’s part of her act, we as viewers should still be able to see glimpses of the sharp, strategic general underneath. Aside from her fighting skills, there’s not much that shows she’s meant to be a respected general in disguise.
The male lead? Literal genius. He had top scores, big dreams, the whole “bright future” package. Now he’s just... barely surviving. And with only a few episodes left, it’s painfully clear they’re not going to explain much. They’ll probably drop one vague line like “he went through a lot” and call it character development. Like?? He deserved an entire arc, not a sad montage.
But the real issue? The female lead. She met him as a kid and decided that was her whole personality. Like truly, her entire character is just being in love with him. No hobbies, no goals, no identity outside of him. He ignored her for years, disappeared without a trace, and she’s still stuck on him like it’s her full-time job. Girl. You can love someone without losing yourself completely.
At this point, I’m watching more out of habit than hope. But I swear, if they wrap all this mess up with a neat little romance bow, I might actually scream.
It’s honestly frustrating to watch female leads portrayed with this exaggerated sense of "kindness"…
FL is too kind to the point of dumb. Second FL straight-up plays her into triggering ML’s trauma, and she’s like, “It’s okay, I get why you didn’t tell me.” Girl, what?! Any sane person would’ve gone, “Wait, why did you leave out the most important part? I just messed someone up!” But nope, she just smiles and lets it slide. Come on.
Of the 17 reviews written there are about 6 of them with low ratings from 1 to 6.5. I think most of us who are…
Funny how the low ratings are a problem because the drama isn’t over yet but no one questions the 8 to 10-star reviews for the same reason. If we’re waiting till it ends, that should apply to both sides, right?
can't both of them merge and co-exist in one body like a single soul. I can't bear thought that by the end in between Bong Su or Gyeon Woo only one will remain.
Look in the comments below. Someone explains it very well and how it is was intentional that he looks "older".
old ≠ mature. Do you think it really makes sense that someone would hire a 27 old actor to 17 because they want him to look mature? They could have just hired a really good actor who looked like an highschooler and knew how to act like a depressed kid. I don't have problem with him playing this role but you don't need to justify it by saying that it was 'intentional'. I don't think that it's that deep, I've watched enough dramas to know that it's a trend in chinese drama to make 30 years old play a highschooler.

The comment you are recommending is of someone making assumption as to why ZLH could have been hired but there isn't any interview or article that claims that he was intentionally hired to look older than a teenager.
Can someone explain to me why ML's mother treats him like this? She is toxic and controlling. I understand that…
His parent's lost a kid before him and the only reason they gave birth to ML was to save their marriage. Now all ML's mother thinks of is using him to make up to his deceased brother. He's seen as his shadow, wear black because the brother liked it, studies maths because of the brother. About the other students, the girl likes ML so naturally she's nosy and the guy sort of sees ML as this perfect guy who is getting spoiled by FL and her friends.
ML's mother is threatening him that she will transfer FL's parents if she comes to know he is in touch with them.…
Well his mother did come to know that he's in contact with her but did she actually do something to her parents? ofcourse not Now, is the time that he should just say that "she used to be my childhood friend and those letters are simple letters. We aren't friends anymore." would suffice and put end to those rumours. And he literally hangs out with that pair of boy and girl, that guy literally took his letters and spreaded rumours about FL. He still speaks to them, laughs and spent time in school with. The least he could do is to ask the guy to stay away from his matter and don't spread rumours that include him.
I just don't understand ML's logic, can't he just tell everyone at school that FL is his friend and those letters weren't love letters. Like his mother already doesn't allow him to be friends with her what worst she could do if he just made that annoucement. Moreover FL's just simping too hard, like girl isn't it enough that you are constantly called out by the teacher, what's the point of sneaking at his centre to tell him that you are doing fine and all. When instead she should tell him to ask him friends to stop bothering her. One word from him and her entire school life could become so much better.
Like they are legit prince and princess? Like emperor's children? Because if they are, they aren't giving that vibe. They seem important but not that important.
