They seriously turned the victim into the villain? Some gold-digging guy (the ML’s father) married his mum and after she died he took over her company and handed it to the ML and somehow that makes the victim the villain? All because he wanted to take back what originally belonged to him? What a rubbish drama. Dropped.
Let me guess, this ancient general will probably end up falling for some abusive scumbag in the future and the show will justify it all with a “misunderstanding” or whatever cliché they can find. Anything goes in the name of romance, I suppose. We’re expected to turn off our brains because apparently, the writer thinks romance fans are love-brained and gullible.
Cud it be that we hardly see FSY doing any real evil thing other than torturing his captive and the act of defiling…
There are so many things wrong with your comment. I can’t believe you want a victim to end up with their abuser. This is exactly why rape should never be glorified in media, because people like you become desensitized and see nothing wrong with it.
The FL is a general who witnessed her people being slaughtered. She was surrounded, captured, tortured, and had her cultivation power destroyed, on top of being raped. She was also forced to keep the pregnancy and ended up harming herself to abort the child. And you want her to end up with her rapist? The general of the enemy country?
You are calling him “reasonable” just because he showed one supposed act of kindness toward his puppet killer. He kidnapped her, likely killed her family, stripped her of her agency, and turned her into a weapon. That is not kindness, it is control and manipulation. Just because you perceive a single “good” act does not erase the atrocities he committed.
I don’t know why everyone is complaining about the director changing Jong Hui’s character. Korea is a male-centric society with many people who are anti-feminist. So obviously, they would make two best friends hate each other and fight over an undeserving man. If the focus were more on female friendships and they dropped the male love interest, you’d have kcels protesting about it.
and for people saying tha ancestors daying i dont think yall understand this lin yan married into shen family…
They are still related to Lin Yan. It takes man and woman to create descendants. Lin Yan married into the Shen family and his kids are related to the FL
The issue isn’t just ‘bad thoughts’ , it’s the fact that he did abuse her in a previous life, and that trauma doesn’t get wiped away just because he’s being nice now. The story frames his redemption arc as if her love is a reward for his basic decency, which is a tired and honestly harmful trope. It sends the message that abusers can ‘earn’ forgiveness and romantic love just by changing after the damage is done.
Also, this ‘she fell for her saviour’ setup is so overused. If it were a woman who saved her instead of him, would she be expected to fall in love too? It’s less about genuine feelings and more about the story forcing romance where trauma recovery should be the focus.
Personally, I don’t think it is entirely out of nowhere. It's gonna be a long post, but I like trying to read…
Even if he’s nice now, does that mean she has to love him? There are plenty of other ways to deal with this situation. I honestly don’t get why people act like he’s the only man in the world 😭 and that she’s somehow obligated to love him just because he “changed.” It’s such a weird way to justify an abusive relationship.
She’s in love with his ass just because he’s nice? It’s not like he’s the only man in the world. Why the hell does she have to fall for him when there are plenty of other, better men out there? Just as I predicted, this is exactly how the sadomasochism genre works. He abused her in her previous life and harmed the people close to her (and of course, nobody including the so-called heroine cares about them). She was still in love with him even after everything she went through. Now that she’s been given a second chance, she wants to take revenge and “fix” him. But the moment he starts acting nice, she falls for him all over again. Sigh.
