I don’t find the ML actor handsome in this drama even though I know he’s considered very attractive by most people. He does have the beautiful eyes though.
A pity the director did not consult some people before making the fl and ml the endgame instead of fl and Scholar…
The scholar is not handsome either. I never knew if we could really trust him either. I think he’s a legit good guy, but it’s so hard to know whom to trust. He’s good to his sister though.
New female villain unlocked. Has there been a male one so far?
The Duke who’s pushing his daughter on Jinqi. Also, the official who was a part of the defective padding in the soldiers uniforms. Du Zheng. The emperor indirectly. But, to your point, the women seem to stand out more clearly as villains than do the men.
I’m seeing a trend in this drama and i don’t know what to even think. So I just watched the official ep 25…
The feminist rhetoric is a bit much. I hate sexism and injustice and all, and I definitely believe in independent women having the freedom and right to choose their own lives. Even still, the feminists rants are a bit overdone. Loses its impact when overdone.
Problem with this drama is that it wanted to be realistic and looking for exploring deeply the the dynamic of…
I totally understand what you’re saying. But, the tropes used between the main leads and their second leads ARE NOT making me root for them to get together with the second leads. Instead, it’s making me angry at the tension that’s building. I especially hated that moment between the ML and the female colleague when they were hiding in the truck and looked into each other’s eyes. Typical romcom tropes used wrongly (which is the point you made and I agree). It’s making me sick 🤢 😡.
The ML is too flirty and playful with that female colleague. I don’t like it. So far, the FL is not flirting with that lawyer even though he’s been flirting with her subtly. I don’t feel she’s crossed a line yet (as of episode 3). But, ML has definitely crossed the line with the frequent lean-ins that he does when chatting with the coworker.
