The spicy scenes in the novel are numerous and better. 😂

Eldest daughter in translation/subs does not mean oldest child.

Suddenly lost super power! Heh.

Yes! And Butterflied Lovers!

My favorite short format drama!

If you can’t find it, I will get you the link later. Sorry I’m working and can’t really do it right now.

Hi, I am so glad you’re enjoying the drama. If you scroll up this page right under the other discussion, You will see other topics that is there besides this main board. You will see one topic called couple dialogues or something like that. Many people have contributed to putting couple stuff there that might interest you.

Hopefully you and I will have lots to discuss! I’ve been busy so will be slow like you!

Welcome! I meant to go to our Double page to recommend this.

He at least get to look really sexy before he dies, though. 😆

Yes it is my favorite this year.

Doublets come back for doubles! Heh.

I have so many favorite episodes that I keep returning to. I think I can quote this drama, LMAO.

Did you catch 40.5? It's an extra five minutes they filmed of their marital bliss.

Royal Rumors is totally funny, a romcom historical with good action. The 2FL was my favorite as she grew on me to become FL's bestie.

Did you watch the extra 40.5 with the five minutes of marital bliss? It's a fun peek at their married life together.

It's not "romantic" because the romance tropes of chasing the FL or even courting isn't in this drama. It's a revenge drama with the ML and FL starting with their own agenda and their fates criss-crossing. However, there was an instant attraction because the ML appreciated the FL's mental smartness. She stood toe-to-toe with him in mental games; in fact, I think she got the better of him several times.

Their conversations were very flirtatious because she, in her hidden previous life, was married and she didn't have the gu-niang attitude at all. She punned back quite flirtatiously. If you speak the language, you'll go oooooh at all the witty comebacks and the underlying sexual tension in their words to each other. But, even if you don't, you'll enjoy the actors' crazy chemistry.

Have you seen the extra episode 40.5 with the happy family ending?

Okay.

There are two types of novels vis-a-vis C-Dramas—one from the male gaze (per the lingo now) and one from the female gaze. Your given examples, which stated you enjoyed, were novels from the male gaze. Just search for c-dramas written that way (or adapted from male gaze genre) and you’ll get your type of story. Cheers.
