This drama was kind of mixed bag for me. I mostly watched it for the ML - just love him and he has been fantastic…
i haven't completed this drama and was really looking forward to it but have found myself struggling to get through the first 20 eps because of this exactly. I appreciate your comment, it validated many of my feels and now I think I may just drop it here😕😕.
In my humble opinion i don't believe Ha Na's interaction with the crown prince was supposed to be interpreted…
I see that... i have just completed ep11 and see and acknowledge that. i too interpreted their relationship as friendship and more of the CP finding a role model and friend that would better help him connect to the people. the matchmakers finding that CP and Ha Na have this soulmate connection is inexcusable.
Hard passing Ha Na’s storyline with the crown prince. Who wrote that? This is a child with a grown ass adult..…
In my humble opinion i don't believe Ha Na's interaction with the crown prince was supposed to be interpreted as romantic. I didn't view it that way. i saw it as more of platonic friend or more of on interaction with a sister or that of a family friend🤷♀️. But i also think it could have been written better to ensure that there isn't such ambiguity about their interaction so that it could not be viewed as somewhat romantic.
The Ending was not it! the plot holes that could be fixed in S2 may not be enough to get me to come back. loveed all the actors and they played their roles very well. I wish it kept me as enthralled throughout as the first 4eps did
Unpopular opinion about CSS's mom.....For some reason i kinda started understanding CSS's mom......From the day…
I agree with many of the points mentioned in the post. I find that as a young woman CSS wanted her mother's attention and affection but none. The mother has returned but is riddled with the guilt of having left her daughter in the first place. Wanting to teach and discipline your child is perfectly alright, however it would be completely unreasonable to expect CSS to just begin listening to the mother that left her, shows her no affection openly and since her arrival, mother has not communicated her true intentions. I, too, would be unlikely to take any advice from a parent, guardian or anyone that has just arrived and has failed to communicate their true intentions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe I am more tolerant and accepting CSS reactions and behaviors because her mum seems perfectly aware of CSS need for affection and did not give it but does so with her sons (she raised them, mommy's boys' and so on ). The manner in which the mother has dealt with things since her arrival, I find questionable and most definitely disagree entirely with. Affection needs to be shown, not said. CSS cannot guess the true intentions of her mother. her understanding is from the perspective of a child and what she sees and perceives is that her mother holds little affection for her. I did not register it as CSS not being moved by her mum's tears, I saw it as her appearing as indifferent towards her mum's feelings as she finds her mum is indifferent to hers
I admire CYY. I find that she did the best that she could at that time. However, CYY raised her sons with affection in the military perfectly well. ( ͝סּ ͜ʖ͡סּ) I understand the need to teach the child she was not there for and prepare CSS for the reality of life for a young woman, how she goes about it would be confusing for CSS -15 is very young but old enough to have become somewhat of your own person with ideas/beliefs and attitudes. She is a good mother to her sons, and I feel and understand the guilt she harbors but I will not support how she handles her guilt.
How one expresses their concern and how one receives that concern will depend on the relationship between the parties. CSS and CYY don't have any solid relationship other than being biological mother and daughter. the scolding should not be the only manner in which concern is shown to CSS. CSS gravitated towards her brothers and father simply because they dote on her in ways she has always wanted to be. it is about giving the appropriate reaction to every action and everything being done in moderation and not always being the good/bad cop. then and now people will always want to find faults in others. they would talk ill of CSS no matter how well she was raised.
