Seems to be a common trope in Chinese dramas that the FL can treat the ML like literal garbage and that’s considered cute or justified on her end. The “heartfelt” promise to “see things through together no matter what” only applies if SHE is in trouble. If HE is in trouble, she immediately throws him away like a used napkin with cruelty and utter lack of empathy, even while you can tell they’re somehow trying to make you feel sorry for HER, not him.
Then when he still tries to be there for her ungrateful self (usually when she foolishly puts his life at risk and he has to save her), she responds with anger, and makes sure he knows that her abuse of him is HIS fault. He is allowed zero expectation of privacy; he gets no support from her unless he first submits to her every demand and lays bare every private and raw detail of his life in the face of her betrayal and gaslighting, all while she maintains the right to hold back whatever she doesn’t want to share about herself. It’s so disgusting, and ruins the wonderful storylines they’ve otherwise crafted.
why, WHY do they keep making dramas encouraging people to unalive themselves if their partner dies/wants to die? The White Olive Tree was the same…this is dangerous and NOT an ok message to be sending to people who are potentially already considering this as a way out…
and what is wrong with an empowered woman? you could've just summarized your whole paragraph in "I am a misogynist".
I do know my place, yes. I know who I am and am happy in the life I’ve chosen because it’s realistic and worthwhile. And when I’m old I will look back at my life and see the purpose and value in what I’ve done with it. My husband and children will be there with me. It’s a good life. So, yes, I know my place exactly and I love it. 🥰
dont forget to kiss your boyfriend good night, you clearly need it
I’ll kiss my husband of 25 years goodnight happily! hahaha, I’m living a very happy life as a strong and well balanced woman who knows her place in this world and is happily living in it. there are a whole lot of angry triggered people in these comments proving my point, though…

ironically, if you just used the brain in your head, you’d look around you and realize that compared to women with “traditional values” historically (and currently), the women of today are far weaker, sadder, angrier, and more depressed. You may not like it, but it’s the truth. you’ve been sold a lie and you’re happily wallowing in it. you don’t have to, the water where I am is just great! best of luck to you, truly. 💕

The problem is that this portrayal of female “empowerment” is false and not achievable. Women will never make better men than men. It just can’t be and was never meant to. Today’s women have been sold a lie that says to be “powerful,” or important or fulfilled, you must be a better man than all the men around you, or if that fails, just say you ARE a man and THEN you’ll find the fulfillment you’re seeking. This has led to the most confused, depressed and angry group of females in human history. It also makes for entertainment stories that all have to be the same, with a fl that dominates and a ml who is ignorant and subservient to her. It goes against nature and is boring. All the most classic, famous storylines do not follow this pattern…and is why there are almost no classics being made anymore. All they can do is remake old, good classics over again into a feminist version that follows all the new rules to promote “The Message,” which inevitably flops because…boring and unrealistic and against nature.
Ever heard of the tv series “Lucifer”? You don’t have to “imagine”…Christians’ faith is twisted,…
Not arresting someone for wearing a shirt with something we don’t like falls under “free speech,” actually…this little old thing we have here in the west that keeps people from being thrown off buildings or burned with acid for doing things we don’t like, for example… I’m a Christian and I do not take it as a joke, but I won’t arrest anyone for saying something I disagree with, either. One of the biggest differences between Christianity and Islam is that we want people to come voluntarily, while Islam wants anyone who disagrees to die... Doesn’t mean we take it as a joke, though, we don’t.
“I had a dream. And in the dream….I was a man.” Oh, boy. I have a feeling this will be yet another whiny liberal progressive political “message” themed drama. They ruined US entertainment, so we happily took up Asian entertainment…now they’ve taken that over, too. Soon we will have cookie cutter piece dramas, all with the same story of “empowered” women beating up the men. Yawn. Boring.
Question—I have finished part of the drama and want to know will there be literally any redeeming quality to the fl at any point in this drama? Right now the only thing I think about her is that she should be locked away in an institution somewhere, kept very carefully for the protection of others. So, will that ever change? I don’t want to waste my time…?
The core theological difference is that Christianity believes in one God as a Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit),…
An egg has a shell, a white and a yolk. they are all separate things, yet they comprise what is known as an egg. God can absolutely be Almighty God and still be comprised of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
People keep saying “it’s just a TV show” — but let’s be real. If tomorrow a drama made Satan from the…
Ever heard of the tv series “Lucifer”? You don’t have to “imagine”…Christians’ faith is twisted, disrespected and mocked constantly in entertainment…but if we object or defend it, we get hate for it. This here is no special case, except that Muslim beliefs are seldom targeted. It’s usually Christian beliefs.
ahhh. just exactly the type of review I’m looking for. you gave me absolutely everything I was wondering about, but I don’t feel like I know everything that happened. I’m sold, headed off to start it now—thank you so much for the work you put into this review! well done! ❤️
