I'm on episode 21 and at this point I'm rooting for the love story of the princess and yan xiao, it's interesting how their story is an "enemies to lovers but they already have a lingering feelings to each other from the start" trope

By watching this I never expected myself to fall on Yan Xiao and his smile, lol.

This kind of genre is new to the eye. I mean it started as a heavy-serious-mature trope to light and comedic romance at the middle. The characters especially the leads personality turning to 180 degree is so unexpected for me. From green to red to green again, lol. I was also hasitant for haoming to have a second chance, and doesn't see any possible redemption that we could accept. But, turning his personality from being a smart, manipulative and dangerous ceo to comedic, shameful, loser character, overshadowed his past mistakes and manipulation. They made it that way, cuz that's probably one and only way for us and xu yan to forgive his red flag treatment. And it's effective, cuz everyone loves his pettiful sides. And I don't think there's anything wrong about them having a second chance, it's actually a good plot because if this is any other dramas they will proceed to divorce immediately. They started off as red flags, cuz they only saw each other as one's benefits. Though, xu yan really loves haoming, she still lied about everything and everything was built on lies. The separation part helped the both of them see the real side of each other, it humbled the both of them. Tough them a lesson for good and actually made their relationship more stronger. I love how haoming was very persistent to not proceed the divorce and made a very long hour effort to delay it. I really thought they actually got divorced but never. Which is a good time cuz that is a slap of the face of the workers who keeps on gossiping them.

I wished they a second wedding together, where xu Ryan's family is already invited especially her sister and grand who wants to witness her walk down the aisle:(

Please have more projects like you did before military. Cuz Korean actors these days after discharging from military is lowkey having a hiatus and still won't accept dramas for years. Like LJS, lol. That's why I'm wondering, if they really don't accept a project or they don't get offered like they used to cuz they are out of the limelight for so long

Yes I am! Since HDL I've always anticipate and watch his dramas, I'm actually the happiest person alive when he was announced to lead 18 again, lol. The Good Bad Mother is my most favorite drama of him, that drama really proves his versitality

I can't catch up to watch the latest episode everyday these past few days as I'm too busy with school work and also preparing for our upcoming exam. Episode 14 is the episode where I stopped, but I had some time this morning to continue watching the latest episodes and was shocked lol. I thought after everything was revealed they will get immediately divorce and the angst will start, never expected that this will have 'comedy' and most importantly I didn't expect that shen haoming will became like this... LOL, I mean the shen haoming I watched before was a reserved and quiet men, though I already expected him to be a manipulative and controlling businessman but didn't know he have this petty and shameful side. And I don't think they will get divorced soon, cuz he's always busy every the '8th' of the month.
But, I'm enjoying this comedy lol. I was actually hasitant of his character at first, who didn't deserve a second chance. I'm giving him a benefit of the doubt, if he can truly redeem himself for xu yan and for us (the viewers).

Kind of sad here, cuz I may not continue to watch the new releases these upcoming weeks, cuz we're too hectic and full of schedule. I will probably be shocked again once I have a time to watch.

Shen haoming feels so off now. I know there's a redemption and regret period, but does he deserve a second chance? We know, both of them lied, both of them made a mistake. But, plotting this plan and leaving her in the edge yet wants her to stay cuz she's useful is kind of evil. Xu yan lied because she wants to be loved and cared while he lied cuz she's easily to control, manipulate and useful. From the start he never truly show a genuine love for her, just an act for to fell in his trap. Also way the he treat other people is off too, cuz once it's useless he will just leave it to the ground, he only sees people by its usefulness to him and their business. And as a father why would he even let his child grew up and recognize him only as his brother, he also kind of neglect him that's why he's craving for an attention.I wonder how they will execute his redemption and character development. Or they will just show a valid side of his backstory, lol

She portray a character who was deprived from love and care. Carry so much wounds and pains growing up caused by her parents. That's why most of the time she's emotionless, not the zhao lusi we're used to (always sweet-cheeky cheerful looking) this time she's an intelligent career woman, with pride and ambition. She acts maturely and as a wife of a rich man the way she walks, the way she talks, the way she express her emotion, the way she style herself suits her character. She actually portrays it really good.

She just look different here cuz she lost so much weight. It's a new character she unlock after years of cutesy characters she portray

Ikr. He's such an intelligent businessman and probably will do everything to gain power. Why xu yan can't see those clue, those words is already enough for us to understand that he knows everything

Cuz as of now what we are watching is Xu yan's point of view. It's her story telling and that's how she view her husband at first. Wait for the part where the ML point of view and side be shown, that's what everyone's waiting for, cuz obviously he didn't look like just someone who can be fooled overnight.

I like how strong, smart and calculative the fl is. But Why is everyone bullying her like she isn't a daughter of a noble/official, they literally always physically hurt her like she's just a daughter of a maid or low status commoner, especially the family she married to.

He's too touchy since the first time they met and he looks at her deeply every freaking time like there's a lot of words he wanna express. Why do I think that they have a backstory? Or sanho have a backstory that's why he loves her or wanna protect her so badly

Lol this is not a draggy drama so if anyone want to watch this, go on and give it a try.This revenge drama is not a typical revenge where the mc revenge is bloody, to the point of losing morality. The fl here execute her revenge well yet her morality is still there, her goal is to get her justice and make the bullies pay for what they did and she never have any intention other than that. She didn't involve innocents, as she knows what it feels being wrong. She also knows that if she became too far from her revenge, she might also pay the price and also lose the game(like what happened in eve) she didn't even directly harm them, she's just watching and interfering things if needed until she can finally show them her capabilities. The bullies just got in trouble because of their doing, they literally drove themselves to hell, lol. For someone who's powerless like the fl this is such a good revenge, yes it takes really long cuz her bullies isn't easy to deal with. They literally came from influential, wealthy, powerful background while she's just a teacher very far from their level. How can she even defeat them when she had nothing but her breathing. Of course, it will takes her a lot to plan everything as she also needs to pick up the pieces of herself that was shattered. At the same time she's still sane and kept her morals before her revenge. If you want a bloody revenge where the mc is too dumb to the point of losing her morality and herself maybe this isn't for you. Try eve if you want, lol

The love of these men for ki was sooo🥺

They all sacrificed their lives for her. Growing up I was always at the side of emperor togon for ki. I mean, he truly loves ki and prioritize her than his kingdom or anyone else. He's willing to give her anything, including power which what ki truly needs. But rewatching this as a grown up person, why do I'm slowly taking the side of the goryeon king Wang yu? Why do his love was so loud yet painful, his eyes tells it all that ki is everything. But the thing is Wang yu is more mature than togon he has integrity and empathy for people, which togon lacks. I don't know why I see it in a much better picture now lol

Even though this is a short low budget drama the cinematography and aesthetic looks so good. The story is good, it's not that bad. Why people expect the fl to have a bloody revenge, how can she do that when she's literally just a young noble lady, gentle and soft, it will be out of her character if you want her to become strong, vengeful, independent smart woman overnight. She's just a young lady who loves to sew, write poems and dress prettiely like any other typical ladies in those times. She's technically force to do those things because of what happened to her family.

At the same she's still in grief, shock and alone. Her family just got murdered, her father's last words is what she's holdi'n into as the last hope of justice. Also she ended up engaged to her sister's fiance as a replacement. She doesn't even had a time to process anything nor even adjust to it. Why people are harsh lol

He had such a promising career and so much potential before. He was rising and had so much visual, he would've been reach the same fame like Lee min ho by now, if those controversy didn't happen or if ever he never take on hiatus in showbiz.

What's wrong with wcr? Do she have any current canceling issue?

Hong sisters really loves a horror type of romance, from the master's sun to hwayugi to HDL to alchemy of souls to this. Where the ghost led the leads to fall in love with each other, lol

Anyways, I'm here because of lee do hyun, can't wait to watch his first drama after military. I'm a big fan of him since hotel del luna and God knows how I wish and wish for him to have a lead roles before and now he has lots

Ikr, making ldh the ml here makes me remember how i root for him and iu even if i know that yjg is the ml lol

Omggg this is so good I Iike how dark this drama is. But her pregnancy seem to be forgotten at the last few episodes lol. Is there any drama you could recommend me like this, where the ml is using the fl but ended up falling for her.
