A blind test should’ve been done in the competition. The voting is so unfair considering that both nations have…
I was thinking exactly the same as I am watching episode 8... it just makes no sense for them to be the judges or to know who cooked what beforehand...
Why would you watch it again if you didn't really like it? She never loved SRQ. She only loved PWX. She wanted…
I am sorry but who doesn't get it is definitely not me, because not only several people would agree with me, but the constant presence of SML in addition to intentional romantic environment and conversations are all there. I do hope that the love triangle is addressed before the last 5 minutes of the show.
My only hope is that the main couple gets a happy ending, and a great addition to make it the best is that they never break up when they get together... fingers crossed!

Because it is a lie. The production made it clear with scenes, dialogs and even background music to create a romantic atmosphere around FL and SML at least until she started to finally open up to ML. She was willing to marry the guy regardless of him being far from any eligible bachelor when she started her second life. Yes, she tells herself that she never loved the guy, but if Dramaland thought us something is that love is not only physical attraction but constantly thinking about that person, caring for that person and hurting, and longing for that person. I believe that her connection with ML was stronger but she only developed those feelings fully afterwards, but in the meantime she would be always looking at SML with care. That wasn't perfect because you didn't say that you "thought that" or "considered that", you provided information as a fact. I hate love triangles, but this one is especially annoying because for way too long FL seems to have attraction for a guy that is not ML, even if (thankfully) that changes later in the show.
FL decides to live separately from ML because apparently he cared for another woman, that was on her deathbed…
I feel like all of that character leverage and influence feels hollow and forced by the writers. The fact that this guy had no power is introduced early in the story, and used to justify why FL and SML couldn't be together right away in this second life, but suddenly and out of nowhere, we are presented with an SML whose father is an important and active member of the imperial court and backbone of the noble families; if that was not enough, he is given a high position in the ministry of Justice and the emperor himself seems to favor him by giving him power and authority in multiple occasions.
I believe I understand how this weird and annoying love triangle works by episode 15. The problem seems to be that the relationship is very "political" and many, including the main leads themselves, and SML are convinced that there are no feelings involved therefore, FL "heart" is still available, and while this is the "reason" why this love triangle seems to be allowed, it just makes no sense. Even if this was true and their marriage was political, they are legally married and part of the royal family which carries a lot of significance, and doesn't mean that they are free to fall in love with other people. If we go by that, most marriages back then were for convenience, but that doesn't mean that it was a free for all where people where married to someone and in active relationships with other people at the same time...
Following the previous argument, we know by now that ML loved and still only loves FL, because he said so himself, and was extremely obvious with the way he treats her and his jealousy as well. However, we still have a problem with FL in this regard.
FL recognizes herself that she never felt love for SML, and it was more like a deep and strong bond with a friend, which was confusing for her at the time because she felt betrayed by the person she actually loved, but even after recognizing this herself, she insists that involving her feelings in her "marriage" is dangerous, but that just makes no sense, since the danger would be if she thinks that he killed her, which she knows from very early on not to be true, and in fact, that the other guy who she defends and still prioritizes killed her himself, and not in a nice and quick way, but poisoning her and widening the gap with the person that she actually loved for years!
There is absolutely no reason for FL not to recognize her feelings for ML, and become a power couple in full to bulldoze their enemies together.
Instead, we thankfully get the bickering and heartwarming relationship of our main leads, but then the shadow of a nonexistent relationship with SML is constantly looming over them. FL loves teasing ML with her interest and "affection" for SML, instead of making up her mind, even when ML has asked her directly several times about her feelings.
This reply is long enough, but I cannot end it before agreeing completely with with the fact that it makes no sense for SML to pursue FL. In the first place, he killed her and there is no doubt about that regardless on how noble they try to make his intentions. The story is trying to convince us at every corner that FL has conflicted feelings and cannot choose between ML and SML, but by episode 15 it is more than clear that the love between the main couple is exclusive to them, but maybe because of FL's fault, SML thinks that FL is in love with him. I say that it is FL's fault because ML's interest in FL is undeniable and SML should be able to see that (sometimes I am not sure, and think that he is too stupid, and thinks that they are just a marriage of convenience after everything that has happened). To be fair, FL sends to many mixed signals in SML's way with the way she treats him, which is why my biggest complain is not even that FL hasn't recognized her feelings with ML because I feel that it will naturally happen at some point, but the fact that she has not made things clear with SML, and let him know that without a hint of a doubt, she has no feelings for him, and what's more that she is in love with her husband...

I am also glad I am still watching because while I am still annoyed by the scenes with SML, the ML finally told FL that he never liked the other girl, and she has a good conversation with herself where she finally sees that what she felt for SML was a strong bond of friendship and not love! I am here for the main couple and yes, their chemistry is great, so I hope to get a lot more from them, while at the same time, I am so ready to skip SML as soon as his scenes start to annoy me again...

This ML is worse than a simp because not only he lets the FL do whatever she wants with him, but also is helping her to get together with the other guy... I am on episode 10, and he has the other guy picking her up in the wedding after making it clear to him that this wedding is basically a business deal (not a real marriage in a sense)... It was ridiculous enough that he is getting exclusive scenes with a romantic tone with FL, but with ML being so weak and spineless, if it wasn't for the promise of the main couple actually committing to each other and their undeniable chemistry this would be a nightmare to watch worth dropping any second by now...

It is funny how even in the second life, FL has full on romantic scenes with SML with background music and exclusive scenes (the level of disrespect), but ML dares to mention this other girl for whom he shows no interest at all and FL looks like a thunderstorm ready to destroy him... He is not perfect, because he should have told her in the first life right there that he has no feelings for this other girl, or in the new life at least, but she should set the example and keep her distance from the obvious villain and intruder in her relationship...
Why would you watch it again if you didn't really like it? She never loved SRQ. She only loved PWX. She wanted…
This is a lie, she did love the other guy, or at least liked him. She was obviously biased towards the guy even after she found out that he killed her, and like that wasn't enough she would treat ML badly even after the misunderstandings were cleared and he would selflessly put her and her interests at every turn ... but then you tell me that she doesn't even reject right away this guy's marriage proposal after everything... another scene to skip for me...
