carebeardrama

i was hesitant to start this drama because i thought it would be a bit too toxic for me but im on episode 12 now and this is honestly the funniest BL drama i have ever watched, WSW is so so so cute and bratty and fun and I think the story works so well because he is very capable of dealing with CC with schemes and the mind games they like to play; the romance is done so well, the slow burn, the push and pull, the gay awakening, THEIR CHEMISTRY has me hooked. Basically, I was worried that they might be too unbalanced in power dynamics but it doesn't feel that way at all. Also first time for me where they second couple in a BL also has me hooked, the four main cast is way too good looking lol

cold FL x warm ML, older FL x younger ML, black cat FL and puppy dog ML, friends to enemies to lovers, forbidden love (families are enemies) LIKE THESE TROPES WERE MEANT FOR MEEEE, i dont really care for the rest of the plot (though the twists are interesting) but im eating the romance parts uppppp; the romance could be better but it is pretty up to par with these kind of shorter cdramas

10 episodes in and though the ML and FL scenes together arent many they have reallyyyy goooddd chemistry

EPISODE 3 GAVE ME THE WORST SECOND HAND EMBARASSMENT IM RUNNING LAPSSS WHY WOULD THEY WRITE SUCH A CRUEL SCENE (search bar history)

you are goated for this, amazing

9/10
calm bf x calm gf
slow burn with good payoff
very cute romantic couple moments
good character development
swoony ml moments
(just focused on the couple idgaf about anything else except the romance in dramas I watch and the romance in this was cute and fluffy and heartwarming and worth the mostly skipped side plots)

oh my god they did way too much of a good job with the villain girl she is the most annoying girl i have ever seen in all of television

oooh watching this just cemented how much I love a tsundere type nonchalant ML and Cha Eunwoo alwayssss delivers he has given me sooo many butterflies with how he treats the FL (well he was annoying a few times but he did redeem himself)

on ep 3 and the way he judges her for "grading people's faces" is soooo annoying like YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PRETTY PRIVILEGE THERE ARE RESEARCH PAPERS WRITTEN ON THIS PHENOMENON judge me or not but there IS nothing wrong with wanting to be prettier knowing damn well that pretty people get natural advantages in life such is human nature......

the lack of romantic plot is just hinting to me that they arent gonna end up up together in the end

i wanna be delusional too but the king is obviously in way deeper than the chef and that does not give me enough hope that she will stay back for him sigh

the way the romance is set up....yeah i dont think we getting a happy ending

i have never seen a kdrama king with this much aura

waiting a whole week for new eps is torture why do i keep putting myself through this with kdramas lol

oh love this too, my new head canon

i theorize the ending is going to be her going to the future and therefor a sad ending but i am delusional and the ending that im gonna gaslight into believing is that she gets pregnant and is unable to go to the future and she saves the king from doing the purge and his reign is good and stable and they have one child together and idgaf about the butterfly effect

if i could make the ending i would make her not return to the future lol like i hope she gets pregnant and unable to leave but that is just me being delusional

they are banging right? i wasnt sure but the scene of him tying his robe back and her putting on her outer robe was supposed to insinuate that right im not sure bc in the beginning when he saved her he was like im quite obviously better than wanting your body but it is obviously not the case ugh i lost respect for them as villains when they did that tbh

perfect!

how is the romance in this one
