Thank you. That does help. I was a bit confused. Do you suggest Eternal love? I’m watching a drama I’m really enjoying and hope to have a follow up drama I’ll enjoy.

I read a rant so it may not have been accurate.

That’s another one I believed the people in. I really enjoyed the prisoner of beauty. You’ve got good taste.

I don’t mind tropes, I’ve learned it’s the way they’re handled that makes the difference for me. For instance when she left the ml in love like the galaxy. I’ve read some people who liked it, I’ve read others who didn’t, but I loved that I believed it. That made it feel like it was written well. I look for that now in shows. I can watch the same trope over and over agin as long as I believe or like the way it’s handled.

Woah, those are talented leads. She can show emotion really well, and he’s had some good roles.

I’ve heard really good things about that one. That encouraged me to give it a shot. I’ve been in a bit of a drama…not a slump…just felt the ones I’ve watched more recently have been fine. If that makes sense, I’m glad i asked! Thank you!

Did you find a drama that made up for the way this one was upsetting? Sometimes a drama just makes up for another dramas stress.

It was the hardest thing for me on this show. I had to start ignoring it when the characters brought it up.

I’m on episode four and I’m curious, is the pacing in this a bit faster than other dramas in this genre? (I’ve only seen a few). I’m sure there will be impediments but it feels as if they’re almost in a relationship.

I read somewhere that the ml pretends to get drunk and forces himself on the fl, is that true?

May I ask a question?

Thank you! I’ll remember that and save this for a day when I want a camaraderie sort of story line.

I definitely get in the mood for what you just described. Most of the time I watch romance, but occasionally something like this just hits right. I’ll keep this one on my to watch list for that kind of day. Thank you for your help!

I haven’t gotten to see the humorous attempts to win her back but my take has been very similar. I think he was attracted to her before they officially met, and was very moved by her original speech. I think he saw in her a plant that could be molded according to his desires. I do believe he fell for her, but decided to keep his distance from her emotionally when he saw her lies. I don’t think it took away from his attraction to her, but I do believe it took away from his desire to emotionally connect with her. I agree with your assessments. I think he saw a lot of similarities between her and fang lei but one could give him the life he desires whereas fang lei could only desire him and all his perks. I agree with you, that two things can be true at once. And I think he probably didn’t know that being attracted to him included the fact that he was influential, but for the female lead that was incidental. For most women it was probably a key factor, whereas for the female lead it was his attentiveness and affection. I’d have to guess he purposely shut off that affection when the female lead no longer seemed “true” in his eyes, but that he still was attracted to the benefits of her.

May I ask your stance on it? I’m looking forward to seeing it. I’m almost to episode 17 and am finding his behavior interesting. He’s definitely showing signs of regret though he also looks confused. Your assessment of him seems very accurate.

Oh good, cause thirteen is already getting the knife in position to stab my heart. I’ll look forward to fifteen. I didnt think I’d be so affected.

Do you think he’s malicious in fourteen? Maybe arrogant/spoiled? I’m curious about what his cruelty might stem from. I’m so curious about that episode

I kept pausing it to calm down. Sometimes I’d run an errand before I could watch more.

I’m already gritting my teeth in a half dread. When she cries … man she’s Good at crying scenes.

I’ll prepare myself for awful.

Boy isn’t that the truth. And it was a uniques stress. I don’t think I’ve seen a drama with this sort of theme before.
