love that. thank you so much for taking the time to give your insights and reply

no i'm not sure, they just said it's not him by finding the real DX. there is still a lot to be revealed but that's as much as we know as of ep 7.

no no that makes sooo much sense! thank you for the insight <3 <3 <3

start of ep 6, the real DX is revealed.

i appreciate your response and thoughts on the matter. I recently watched love and redemption and the FL has the same thing without 5 senses. The FL could see and hear but had no taste, feeling, colour etc. i'm pretty sure it's exactly the same with the FL here.

I'm just putting the things you described and seeds thing down to it's impossible to write a flawless plot when trying to write someone without these senses.

Small quirk: I don't get why He XiaoXiao eats the seeds in multiple episodes while watching people (rooftop with kid (ep 3) and in ep 7 watching fights) - she has no senses and isn't the type to get nervous. It offers no stimulation or taste or reward. It's like something they've just put in for the sake of it but makes no sense because someone without senses wouldn't just eat snacks arbitrarily, since we have seen she has no desire to eat otherwise.

The Yuning x Lusi component to The Long Ballad was the only reason i watched it too :)

up to you completely. that decision you'll need to make yourself. im too not yet captured but also not yet interested in dropping.

it literally just went from 8.6 to 8.2 in the last few minutes. crazy

i was amused and entertained by your first comment. i respect your opinion. i too can't stand certain things in dramas, while I see other people love those things. there really is something for everybody.

I haven't started that yet. Slim pickings at the moment. I'll definitely check out Love Beyond the Grave though!

haha that's what I call a proper revenge story! <3

haha i appreciate you! obviously I was just filling the time with this series anyway - wasn't really keeping me entertained so I'm glad you said what you did :)

🤢 oh no.. ok will drop now at ep 15 as that's not my cup of tea! thanks for the heads up!

it was the ultimate betrayal of trust and working together. I'm pretty sure there is no coming back from that. Around ep 12 when he was drunk in the garden she said he won't have another chance with her. I hope that rings true, but if they do get back together it might be about revenge that she ends up ascending to the throne and then takes him out haha

I am not so savvy to the rules but from what I'm aware, any mainstream series have to adhere to the country's policies and social views on the matter, while vertical dramas don't have those limitations, They can be saucier, more violent and involve taboo topics that would not be allowed in mainstream series.

Yeah i think it totally is and has been for a few years now. It's so easy to write a story without it but certain short dramas (with not as many censorship rules) tend to be like vertical dramas (even less censorship rules) in pushing people's boundaries to what is acceptable. Dancing on the verge of risqué topics to illicit peoples' quirky fetishes is unfortunately the norm rather than the exception these days.

so many dramas do this these days. i recently watched a drama where everyone in the comments thought it was fine because they weren't blood-related but I had the same perspective as you. The drama Gemini is another example of this.

oh thank you so much for explaining! that's very interesting to know there is a term for that kind of thing :)

Have submitted the details for the admins to approve of Night's Wild Pull. As it's a vertical drama I don't know if they will publish it but I've submitted what I can and the information I could find.
