If I were a friend, I'd tease him to death about it. He's lucky I'm not. But he might have friends who think like me, LOL.

What did the SFL do wrong in her life to deserve him? I'd rather she remained single and a ditzy painter or whatever she is. She at least knows what she wants or likes.

That's not what I mean. I mean he has no agency, he never acts before she does, he never even protests. He just reacts to whatever she does.

I'd rather have someone who shows some actual personality other than a white piece of paper that mostly her only gets to draw on. I kind want to drop it, I need to calm down first and then decide.

EXACTLY!!! Like, did he put his life on standstill waiting for the apocalypse or whatever - he never even tried to get her back once they were set up and had jobs, didn't keep up with her, didn't even listen to local gossip to learn about her father and stuff - because WHY? What personality does he even have other than being in love with a girl who recognises her interest and acts upon it (good for her!) - why would I want to watch such an insipid "romance"?

ATP I only like his study center friend, at least HE seems to have a personal life.

So... you're telling me and the whole world that someone looking like JinYoung would be single for ten years, just holding a candle to her in his heart all this time despite of the manner in which she dumped him, and then... just go back to her??

WHY is the ML such a wet noodle?! I mean, it's not freaking romantic, what, are they in a symbiotic relationship or something, can't he actually LIVE without her?! That's freaking pathetic.

I am in serious doubt if I want to watch the next ep. ATM I'm kind of seeing red over these two eps.

He already looks a bit unhinged, smiling as his ministers fight each other in court like it's an enjoyable game, but he's still cheerleading for our ML so maybe he's not all gone over the side yet.

Thanks for the reply!

What happens to the current cheerleading Emperor?

Yeah, not all kids who grow up tortured turn out to be sociopaths. In these case, both brothers are. There's something in the water in that family and I hope it skips Bao'er.

Just the same. It's a bias, not looking at the drama as a whole.

TBH, I don't watch a drama just for the leads (or generally the cast), but mostly for the plot and character progression. I dropped dramas with actors I liked and kept with dramas with unknown (to me) actors, so I don't really have a horse in this race. I just don't really appreciate gatekeeping of any kind.

Let people enjoy what they like, it isn't hard. Or if they're annoying, block them and move on, or skip over the comments. We're each of us different and like different things and that's just life :)

I don't think it's that simple. I think HE went to send Wei Yan's message threatening the whole family and so Mr. Fan thought the only way to save his girls was for him and his wife to die officially and in the open, so that WY stopped looking.

It didn't work, 'cause he sent the world's-least-secret secret assassins anyway. But General He then gave him the secret letter with the secret contents and it all blew over. Which makes one wonder - why not give it to him in the first place, if that's all it took? Maybe with-or-without secret letter, WY would have still sent assassins to the Fan dad.

*Deng Kai not answering his phone for a week til this scene is forgotten a bit*

If HE didn't know, General He definitely did know.

Otherwise why send that army guy to fake-force her to stay in a work camp til the "get her sister out and kill the Sui bros" campaign was over?

But I kind of think YZ is clear on her abilities and maybe he thought she's still be with Li HuaiAn. (Doubt it.)

GongSun: Why are you sneezing? "Someone" must be thinking of you.
Yan Zheng's mind: *COME MIGHTY HEAD COLD, I HEREBY INVITE YOU!! MAKE ME SNEEZE!!*

I'm voting for the Emperor. He's cute when he's fangirling over his now-alive general, but is it what a normal Emperor would do at a time like that? (Still cute haha~)

~I'm biased toward the ML.~

~People should just watch the drama for what it is and not pick a bias because they like the actor.~

Pick one. :D

I think the cough is from being exposed to that fire and then drowning before she saved him. It probably affected his lungs, doesn't mean he's going to die because of it.

Though if wuxia dramas taught me anything, bad breathing should influence his fighting power. I hope it comes in handy when he gets wasted as he deserves.

WDYM LOL, Zhuge KongYun was also kind of crazy. I suspected him throughout the whole drama but he and his dramatic hairstyle eventually morphed into friends with the ML.

... TBH I liked that too :D (I really didn't want him to be evil).

The Untamed did it the same - a lot of foreshadowing and planting hints before the second arc. And they wrapped it all up in the last few eps, too. It's just a different kind of story - this one feels more like a historical and that one was danmei wuxia after all.

Deng Kai was in a good support role in The Wanted Detective, and I noticed him before in Follow Your Heart (I haven't yet managed to finish a short drama). He had support roles in regular-length dramas before, not just short form.
