song mo and his subordinate are so pretentious it's actually pissing me off, his father is bordeline corrupt official but he himself was not but they had the audacity to suspect her colluding with her uncle again and again. ofc they dont know so the suspicion was valid but the fact that his subordinate do not even consider that she could not be in collusion was seriously so annoying, like you had the example of song mo himself who was different from the father and you cant even spare some doubt that she might be different

for me personally she has roles she can act and roles that she cant. i love her in encounter but i absolute cannot tolerate her acting in dots. but i would watch her show if it interest me and the character she played aligned with what i like to see from her 😅

just search first frost chinese novel and you will find it. i personally dont recommend the manhua first, love the art but so many feelings are lost imo, the novel is just better!

just curious why reba never act in iqiyi platform drama afaik (not talking about future project or drama that airs in multiple platform)

so confuse about charles real identity, i thought he was the real son of the eatery ahjumma? also the revenge was unsatisfying, the bad guy (the adults) had it way too easy and wasnt hated enough by the NPC's

why eunki encouraging sungjoon to meet his brother is beyond me and the idea to fool everyone even sungjoon is so silly bc what if he get caught??? this part is really stupid im sorry, yes he is the mastermind but what if sungjoon cant escape? ig he just doesnt care if that happen

idk why he very much against on listening to JMC, JMC has alibi, eventho he didnt trust him it doesnt hurt to listen but he even get so angry like bro need to chill.

sungjoon is just soooo unlikeable, i pretty much know all the spoilers needed except his story so maybe i will understand him later but he is just arrogant and hot headed so he is getting on my nerves rn. i also find him quite stupid for a detective. idk why they never thought to ask eunki how long JMC been taking her hostage after they caught him again. also him still being nice or even entertaining his parents and brother is pissing me off, he just tick off everything i hate in a character 😭

wait now that i watched again i think he was looking at the sweets that he came to love bc of sol (the scene where she eat ramen)

rewatching as an adult (up to ep4), i find myself liking the humour, i used to find it dry before but certainly i have changed and accustomed myself to this kind of comedy. but i find ji euntak quite unlikeable in this rewatching experience, never thought she was greedy before but she wants both comfort and company. i get her, with all her painful experience i truly do, but i still think beggars cant be chooser 😭 ig it supposed to potray her young age but some teens will be comfortable with just getting one of good things yk.

i wonder why he want to retire in his first timeline and what's the pill he is taking that he seems hesitant to tell her when they met again for second time in present timeline (EP8 iirc)

i also watched after hype has died down and for me it's worth the hype. watched the first time when LR first start coming to netflix and enjoy it, not to the point of obsessed but i can see why many like it, my initial rating was 9. i rewatch for second time ytd and it became 10. probably bc the first time i had prejudiced towards KHY (i dont like her past acting for this kind of role) so it influence the watching experience but after getting used to it i find myself liking the show a lot

i think he definitely would if he like the project but maybe not anytime soon. just like it took him years to finally star in his first BL, maybe it will take him another couple of years before doing another one

the story of kyung pil and her father breaks me, cried for kyung pil and saddened for her father.

idt he is supposed to be likeable and that's what his character are

ik but it was too long, the arc could have been shorter imo, it was too much unnecessary details of what happen in the past (that was not related to them as in hua yuoxian backstory, lovestory etc) imo, they could touch all these with less details

idt you read my other comments bc i said i was no longer repulsed about it being HE simply bc he suffer and she took long time to marry him. so im not really someone who think no one deserve second chance. his suffering is exactly what made the second chance worthy. i understand him, and his characterisation, but he is exactly like most men in the older day, a misogynist. and i dont fully blame those men with those backward thinking in those era, but the long suffering is a lesson to him to value women more, that they are not just a plaything, that men chastity are not superior than women, that the standards they hold to women should also be held on them and mingyi taught him exactly that. hence him being a loser malewife later who advocate for women made a good redemption arc on his part, eventho he solely do it only for mingyi.

i never said mingyi was perfect in fact i feel conflicted when she establish her harem, bc i am someone who believe in gender equality so it pains me seeing her doing things she hate happening to women to "innocent" men, but at the same time it was a needed lesson for men of those era. i just wish no one end up hurting in the procrds but ofc two people (ZZH and STL) still end up getting hurt. im not against her harem i just wish she handle it much better and as for approaching jin bozai, it takes two people to make it work, he could not have fell for it but he did bc that was just in his nature. as i said i can understand all his ambitions as a person but for a lover, he was truly a terrible man just as his master said. it was not only for the fact that he "betray" her, but angry at the fact that she cant understand him instead of apologising properly, stringing her along when he was not even interested in marriage (before he betray her) instead of coming clean and just all his mindsets which he think he is entitled to just bc he is THE man in the relationship. but he has character development and it is solely due to mingyi not making it easy for him that changed his views and turn him into a better person (in term of his mindset towards women)

pls recommend more dark romance like this that are not cringe to watch. i knew short cdrama has a lot of it but i always avoid watching bc of poor production (i tend to always only watch longer ep cdrama bc it is more well produced). i remember there is one japanese drama where he kidnap a girl and they became friends so pls do give recs for any interesting plot like this that are well produced

youxian arc is too long and unnecessary. as i keep reading, idk why i need to know about this, the story would be just fine without it. idk what the editor is thinking should have given us more of liu bowang and princess if the writer wanna drag the novel. hopefully the drama just cut this arc short

if i must be honest rereading still make me angry with jbz so i do like seeing him suffer 😔 and i feel like each time he made a mistake he think that it is already a great thing that he yield for her (which it is for someone like him) instead of recognising he did wrong and expect her to listen and understand him, hence the long suffering is kind of necessary to make him realise this flaw and fix it bc he learn to "bow down" to her and his love became more sincere imo. i wish the drama change in the aspect of ZZH & STL love for her, make them care for her but was not romantic kind of love
