Also, can MDL do something about the freaking immature toddlers who keep rating episodes that haven't even aired? I swear the maturity level of some people never develops past the nappy stage

WTF. What is with the new schedule of only a single episode a day??? Why did it change?

I do agree that some of it is overkill and a bit plot hole-ish. But once again, I don't agree that the scheming on A'chou's part is on par with WR. It could just be me on this as well but I have a hardcore adversion to anyone who is evil just because they are an entitled asshat.

So your problem is actually plot holes. Not the fact that she is intelligent.

A'chou is fighting for her life. She has to be 2 steps ahead of everyone else. There is a difference between outwitting others in the bid for survival vs someone who is simply psychotic, and WR is simply psychotic. She has no other reason for her behavior other than she thinks she is entitled to whatever she wants and if anyone gets in her way then they should die. So yeah, there is a vast difference between the 2 and I will always root for someone who is not evil to their core and are fighting to survive.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Couldn't have said it better

I apologize. I should have been clearer. I can see where the confusion came in. I guess I was going with the sarcasm and figured everyone would clue in. Also sorry for the late response I have been working and not on here the last several days

I'm sorry, I should have looked closer. The comment line is kind of all over the place and hard to track sometimes

Yes he wanted to divorce her but in that time era divorces didn't just "happen". There had to be a cause that would make the families agree. This was his "cause". The money laundering would not have given him enough leverage for her family to agree. He also kept the situation fairly controlled and private. If he was petty he could have smeared her name all over and that would have forced the family to agree.
You have very rose colored glasses if you think he could have pulled this divorce off with as minimal backlash as what he did in that time era just because he wanted "to get rid of her". Seriously, for infidelity in that time she could have been put to death to cover the shame. He in essence pointed that out and made them realize that divorce was a better option.

So are you

My comment was in agreeance with them (in all their sarcasm)...so not sure what your meaning is here

thank you

Does anyone have the link to the novel?

Ah, I misunderstood what you were getting at. And I agree with you for the most part. The ones I was talking about needing to watch modern dramas are the ones that on every historical drama seem to get completely bent out of shape because of the historical context and then go on about how much they hate the show or the actor (not necessarily the character) because the chose to portray the character. Those are the ones that I have a hard time understanding.
As far as having intellectual conversations about society and its norms in different context, I am all for, bring it on. But people need to remember these are characters portraying a certain era and not get their emotions bound up in everything that does not align with their modern mindset.

She flew over the cuckoo's nest, kind of crazy...

Or maybe it is a historical drama so putting modern progressive ideals here wouldn't fit the timeframe. If people don't want to see traditional societal norms (from 100's of years ago) then they should watch modern dramas.

Once again, this would be an accurate description for the mindset of the era

I swear people have lost all critical thinking skills. I wonder why people watch historical dramas and then b*tch about historical accuracy such as patriarchal societies or harams. It makes no sense to me. If you want to have modern type of mentality/social hierarchy then watch modern dramas. For the record I think the male lead is nailing his role.

That...is not how that works.......
