They seem to have cut a lot of this from the drama, so it definitely didn't translate well.

I remember the "I did this to you" line, which I did relate to the way he treated Bird Shen Li. That also made me wonder, if Shen Li started abusing her parrot after she returned from the Mortal Realm. It's a strange way to express her lingering feelings and memories for Xing Yun, but that would explain why the bird seems spoiled if it was treated well before this.

That being said, my love for animals will not let me accept her treatment of the bird no matter what the reasons are.

Let's be honest, Shen Li did her share of abusing Xing Yun.
Plus, the situations aren't really comparable. Shen Li was there temporarily and she wasn't going to remain helpless for long. I'm kind of also wondering why that parrot is even staying at Shen Li's mansion anyway. I would have left if I was treated that horribly.
Also, based on what was shown in the drama, it seems that she only started abusing the parrot after she came back from the Mortal Realm. So, did she learn all that from Xing Yun?

As long as they're not earth shattering spoilers, I usually don't mind.

At least I told myself he survived 🤣

Sentient he might be, but he seems more like a four year old. All the things he said were kind of true, but he said them in a very annoying way. So teaching him a lesson is not wrong, but violence is not the answer. That's why a more patient person might be better. Also, treating a sentient being like a pet is wrong to begin with.

I might need to watch PA after I finish watching this drama then

I remember I was not happy about the pig being kicked either. Shen Li really has a tempter. As for the bird, we don't know exactly what she did to it. She may have abused it more than that. Also, if the bird is annoying her, why not get rid of it? Give it away to someone with more patience.

Princess Agents. It's another drama with the same main leads.

I definitely enjoyed it. For some reason, even though it's not perfect, it's a very endearing drama.

He doesn't seem like a bad person, but he doesn't deserve her.

I still have a lot of episode to go, so I hope I'll see him mature and grow.

That very well may be. He's clearly not a bad person. However, he's definitely a spoiled brat and unfortunately not very intelligent. He needs a lot of maturing to do before he should be allowed to marry anyone. His grandfather is obviously aware of that. Too bad they're all too scared to ask XZ to cancel the marriage.

hahahaha, I haven't watched PA, but I'm familiar with the tone of that drama, so I completely understand that a cartoon bird would bother you.

The problem is, if there's some kind of background that justifies the abuse (I don't see what that could possibly be), they should have showed it in the drama. If they didn't show that in the drama, they should have just cut out the whole abuse thing as well. Or better yet, just not have a pet bird in the first place. What's the added value? I like Shen Li as a character, but every time I see her treat the parrot badly, I can't help wanting to punch her. There's no way that's what the writers were going for, right? Deliberately making the FL less likeable?

PA is a completely different drama, set in a different world. Even though the leads are the same, I don't see why they would need to reference a different drama and abuse a completely unrelated bird. Even if that's what the writers were going for, this will remain one of the things about this drama that I don't like.

I haven't made it that far yet. So far, he's just been a spoiled brat with ridiculous plans to get out of marrying Shen Li. Although I do pity him for having to marry someone he doesn't want to marry and is clearly afraid of, but there are better ways to go about it. Granted, that just seems to be the way this character is written. I would have appreciated a bit more depth.

Shen Li abusing her pet parrot is really starting to bother me. Someone needs to rescue that bird and give it a more loving home.

I really enjoyed our discussion as well. It's always fun to read other people's thoughts on a drama. It's like watching it from a different perspective. Other people focus on different things and might notice something I have missed.

9 episodes in and this drama is definitely doing better at the funny parts than the emotional parts and I'm actually loving that.
