Oh my, the ML 100% enticed with the FL from the start when he portrayed the FL pictures for drawing & when he paid less “reward” to people for killing her among his enemies. Plus the way he didnt kill her easily. Im sure there’re behind the story of his encounter with Fl during past wars esp when she always wear red.
He is getting there. That speech he gave in ep 20 was sincere. I am 100% sure he meant every word. It is too bad…
Yes. Both have issues & now taste each other's medicine. FL felt like she knew him & so does the ML (both tought they controlled the lying narratives) but trully no one really knows each other. Cant expect her to understand him when he failed to open up same goes as the FL, cant expect the ML will show his sincereity in loving her w/o her being truthfull.
Ep 20 and they're actually compatible. The ML is indeed controlling and dominant, which is quite normal realistically for his status (dont look typical drama CEO, that wasnt realistic), but the FL, if she truly removed her facade, truly herself, she's able to control the ML. Both can help navigate each other's careers and personal lives. The dynamic can be found in most career-driven couples.
It's just that the ML needs to sincerely apologise and open up his heart to share his feelings too. FL is full of love, she is willing to give, but the ML had taken it for granted(cant blame fully dince the FL did lied, his past has more story). They need to work that out to know whether they're willing to give the marriage a chance.
As a no. 1 fan of this drama, I want everyone to watch Fated Hearts cause that drama has the same director, scriptwriter and omg, it gave the same feeling on the politics, friendship with the sidekicks & especially the yearning that this drama has. Like, literally it gave the overall same feeling.
Oh my, the badass, empowering FL, intense ML, yearning 2nd lead, special female 2 female friendship screamed KUNNING PALACE & now i noticed its the same script and director omggggg. Even the light, camerawork(even found not as good as other dramas BUT it actually delivered the emotions TREMENDOUSLY despite other dramas looking more expensive.
The politics are done just right, x lengthy, straightforward yet super engaging. And the yearning? My goodness, my heart is fluttering just as when I was with ZLS and BL. The director is actually good in this tbh & this drama proved that this is his niche lo The 2nd lead also did gave yearning that somehow fluttered me if he's not evil tbh. So anyone that loves Kunning should like really watch this for realllll
Omg the FL is BADDASS! and why didn't I notice her projects earlier? She seemed to take serious character for her projects and she's super good. And the ML is also improving & never thought he can act this tough character.
They basically will have a normal couple banter. Before this, they were both hiding soo much of themselves. Now we gonna see whether they’re compatible or not cause HM loves control, someway along the way we will see why he’s hard to give his love. Meanwhile, FL is just full of love she’s willing to give.
Dissecting HMML wanted a marriage of convenience. He thought he had the perfect candidate, someone who was ambitious…
true! this will unveiled post lie discovery. this determines someone like HM who love to be in control of everything, typical rich male able to love and LIVE as lover with someone who has nothing but actually fully capable in everything. And FL will soon realised how capable is she without a male's love & the so called perfect life.
I started this drama just 2 days back before which I read the comments here. I thought the ML would be a complete…
Tbh, the true reaction when is like queen of tears haha. That's how dangerous is faking a whole background can be, a fradulent. A person can enter a family and destroy them in a blink of an eye whatmore when a person with fake background. But in this drama, the ML got upperhand since he has resources and smart & deep down knows the FL is a great and good person but he was blinded by her lies.
I also agree! I think it is not that bad considering the situation. He was just looking at it from a business…
Good insight! he's a businessman, old money & seen everything as transaction as what she said few times. He just execute "marriage transaction" as what normal rich people do, marrying due business but in his case, he got the upperhand by using her vulnerability. BUT- he'll realised that the FL able to be where she's now due to her effort NOT due to him, she's fully capable & smart women. & soon realised he did fell for her true traits. I think this is director's intention esp when on part she kept visiting the grandma
See, here’s the thing - while he absolutely need to be guarded because of his background, a normal wealthy person…
Yes & if you want to say that, we can flip them too, if she really loves him, she should tell him her real background, not parading a fake parents, taking other identity, lie to his parents, son. If not, he'll just seen her as a fraud. It's two ways. No one is better than the other.
In their case, from his POV, she met him first, made him saw her as the one who took the chance to "marry a rich guy" & he entertained her lies. Throughout the dramas, the director tried to portray her as a good controller of the story for her favour (the cooking shows with the rich women, the grandma, getting her MIL's favour), but they were actually her great character and talent that drive people towards her not due to his position as he claimed, BUT these CAN BE only realised after the lies are unveiled. The director emphasised on that when she kept visiting the grandma after divorce, the ML even said the FL the first women his mom able to accept. It wasnt due to HIM AT ALL but her capabilities.
After the lies are unveiled, then we can truly judge whether they are good with one another, when their flaws and secrets are open to another.
Well said…. Perfect description. U knw wt all most all of the viewers failed to get this basic match. I wonder…
Nice guy, que sera sera kdrama also have kinda same premise but different reaction. People will demonise someone like the FL character if the ML is the poor guy who lies.
i understand ML's reason for hiding truth about his son. would you hand over weapon to someone whom you know wields…
at last someone have this POV on why he x tell his secret with his son to the FL. There's no trust in the first place at all. His POC, She's a fraud & letting her know his dark secret will literally kill his son's life. The FL needs to realise this.
Well said…. Perfect description. U knw wt all most all of the viewers failed to get this basic match. I wonder…
Yup, im sure they're young adult hehe. Im not supporting the ML but both are wrong. Sadly, most people demonise the ML. Despite all that, he did treat her proper as the "trophy wife", having dinners, affections like normal couple, channelling help silently for her to carry her lies while still holding her roles as the perfect wife. His family wasn't even that bad & he's just a typical, calculating rich man.
The FL needs to understand that there is no way she can find true love by lying like this. She is scared of rejection due to her parents, that's why she lied, but the ML won't understand the sincerity of her love if she didn't show her real self. I want the director to let her character developed not just as someone who wasnt loved by the husband. She's more than that
If we flip ZLS as the husband character, the reaction will be different haha.
If we look at a realistic marriage POV, from a non-heroine-biased perspective (try to flip the character's reaction, it would be different), the ML reaction makes sense. He's a rich man surrounded by people, including rich people who use each other for personal gain. His life was as calculated, it seems bad in reality, that's how rich people are.
Did he overreact? No, he can be worse than that & can just trampled her worse like typical rich man but no- cause deep down, he did ack the FL's good values & never treat her that bad as a husband. This was ack by the FL, he made her felt important ie "colourful" despite his flaws & fake. Is he a good guy? No, cause he's the typical rich man that used her for her vulnerability, but so does the FL, she wanted the perfection which she ack later that they weren't meant for her. Her lies was soo BIG tBh, esp when she's a poor background (different when she's being truthfull & married as poor woman rich man), a rich man will come up with different scenarios and sincerely loving him WONT be it. Plus, him not telling his secret son to FL is just him to protect his family, business esp son when she's just someone who lied (his pov) & can use it against her. I hope the FL understands this.
Cant blame him for questioning the sincerity of FL caused everything was based on lies. Both used & lie each other. The real romance started when the FL didnt take a cent from him, let him see the real her, when the FL willingly let him see flaws that she wanted to keep. The acceptance of each other's flaws really determines their compatibility. She's afraid of something she cant control tbh which in her case; CHANGE OF EMOTIONS(normal trauma reaction due to rejection). She is capable to be loved for what she is and she's FULLY capable of building happiness for herself. That's the intention of the director, she's a smart and capable women & no need for a rich family husband to bring her up
Man gonna land in big dramas for sure. Just wait for 2-3 years cause he got this yearning eyes and his face-he looks soo much like old HK actor and lil bit Song Wei Long
K-Drama
