Even if you think I'm not as intelligent as you, why does that mean you're allowed to be rude to me? Why can't you argue your point in a respectful way?

Is there any particular reason you're being so rude?

yeah, no. a show doesn't need to explain to you what a character is thinking in every single scene. you're meant to infer it from their actions. a good actor is someone who can convey their character's psychological state so that the audience understands without needing to be spoonfed

I just Googled looking for an English version - it's really easy to find

yes and it's freakyyyyyyyyy. the show is so, so mild compared to what they were getting up to in the book 😫🤭

lol no, the novel makes it clear that he recovers and they go on vacation together to the beach. but I don't blame you for misreading it; the show really glosses over the ending

they clearly were working with a limited budget here, and I think they did the best with what they had. Hopefully now that this was so successful, they'll continue to get offered shows with bigger production budgets which means more episodes and better sets.

yeah, I agree. I'd love to see them in something a bit more serious, a bit less trashy. This is fun though. Also, your review totally made me watch My Stubborn, which I binged in a day flat. So thank you for your service 😂

yes, they're 100% covered the whole time. they use a garment that covers their genitals and is padded so it acts like a barrier to reduce contact. You can find intimacy coordinators on tiktok who show you.

Chaeha coming to Taeseon's house is a really big deal in the novel. It completely changes the dynamic of their relationship because it's the first time they ever get physical, starting with their first kiss. It also marks the beginning of their cnc relationship, which is a major plot point in the novel. That's why Taeseon asks him if he's sure, and why Chaeha lingers on the doorstep. Going into the house means agreeing to a dom/sub relationship, which he doesn't really want but that's all Taeseon is willing to offer so he takes it.

Unfortunately, the show changed the timeline of their relationship so this scene no longer makes sense as is. They've already kissed and had sex, so the hesitation feels unnecessary, even if it's so beautifully shot.

I had to binge the novel because I couldn't wait. And oh my god, this is such PERFECT casting, I'm in awe. They embody their characters completely

This needed 40-50 episodes to be truly great. Right now it feels so rushed, the characters don't have time to really develop as they need to.

That's how I interpreted the bedroom scene. He's letting her know that he's not someone who'll let her walk away when she wants. She's trying to reestablish her ground and show that she's not going to be intimidated by his power. They're still choosing each other, they just need to renegotiate the terms. 😄

yeah, exactly. she's just taking time to adjust to this new information but her mind (her heart?) is already set, whether she's ready to admit it or not...

I find Xihe so intriguing. She's ruthless, decisive, and a great judge of character. And yet, the only step she's taken so far towards cancelling the engagement is asking CP for his consent, knowing that he'll neverrrr give it.

She could go to the Emperor today and get him to break the engagement, she could go to another prince and get him to agree to marry her on the spot. But she's just 'trying' to convince CP, suggesting that she doesn't really want to break it and she knows she'll come around. He's just in the dog house temporarily.

exactly! but this nuance is lost on people.

ML wasn't "almost there" - she's cared about him for a while now. She just isn't someone who lets her feelings dictate her actions.

all the comments saying FL is indifferent/doesn't care makes me think people don't understand subtext because she cares a lot, even if she won't allow herself to admit it...

😂😂😂 oh my god I'm dead. I'll still watch every episode though, it's too good

no doctor, no ambulance. just some seats in a corridor 😭
