a solid first 3 episodes, seriously so good and engaging. i'm already fond of both leads, and the roommate has my whole heart. i adore how they handle the situations because it's so relatable. we may have known/heard of someone like zhengyu, and the roommate's reactions are something i personally can relate. there's hurt and frustration, but never to the point of wanting to bring someone else down. i really appreciate the realism
currently on ep3 but this show is about to drive me crazy with anger bc why did they never thought to at least…
this is serious, i do not want to nitpick but i had issue with the dialogues, the mother has disappeared for like 2 days, but what does the officer means that they cannot open the case?? and the son is pissing me off, this whole argument would not happened if he would just think more rationally
currently on ep3 but this show is about to drive me crazy with anger bc why did they never thought to at least speak up about what ye yibo had done? at least some adults or peers would be more understanding
why are you lying on his name? his "shiftless" bl mv was his idea, during that promo interview he said…
it was not recent bc i havent been following nanon for years, but even when ohmnanon is or just ended i remember he says script is what important, if he likes the script and need to play bl role, he would
Dramas don’t have the social responsibility to instruct and protect moral values.TRE is rated PG-14 because…
the argument that dramas have no social responsibility is what allows propaganda go unchallenged. this isn't about being unable to handle adult themes or expecting fictional characters to behave morally, it's recognizing the difference between depicting something and romanticizing it. the manhwa itself does that, protecting ruling class till the end, only the former slaves have the horrible ending
enjoying a drama for its entertainment value is perfectly fine, but dismissing the idea it promotes, for the sole reason it was entertainment is not. refusal to engage critically with messages presented allow it to be normalised, this rang true for many western media and the subtle propaganda it included in their shows & movies.
telling people to move on because they criticize the source material or its adaptation doesn't make their criticism any less valid, i just expect the viewers to be equally critical towards both male leads, but that is only if their horrible deeds is included in the show.
i dont really open this site often, so yall really wont see me this much, it was supposed to be one or two times commentary lol
It’s a manhwa/drama about royalty, how else was it gonna pan out... I mean there would be no story to be told…
the difference is rashta is treated worse than both male leads, bc she was a slave who has done horrible shit, heinrey & sovieshu get their own redemption despite both being horrible human being, they are able to get away with it bc they are re noble
she was a child slave, others are noble who own and abuse slave. she couldnt simply say no to emperor. yes she…
bc im curious and im already livid from all the hate rashta solely rcv all these years lol.
rashta is far from simply annoying, she will be doing horrible stuff herself. if the show gone down the path where the female villain character horrible shit is retained, but the ml is glossed or adapted differently to fit the viewers expectation of typical ml, i strongly feel the show should be criticised as well, bc the manhwa itself rcv the same criticism, some ppl were questioning why of all fictional story, an elitist manhwa is adapted
she was a child slave, others are noble who own and abuse slave. she couldnt simply say no to emperor. yes she…
i dont watch the show and refused to, heinrey & sovieshu are both horrible as rashta is, i just want the same hate for both male character bc everyone in the world is always so cruel towards annoying women, heinrey is a war criminal, kill children and did other horrible stuff, but even navier willingly forgive him. it doesnt happen yet or may not happen but this doesnt change the hate i have for this elitist fiction story
every character in the manhwa is morally questionable, btw. perhaps navier to a lesser extent, but she still benefits from the class system, turns a blind eye to its injustices, befriends questionable people, and readily forgives her suitor's vile actions.
rashta is deliberately positioned as the main villain. she has done horrible things, and criticism of her is absolutely warranted, but so have other characters. yet rashta receives the most hate, partly because she was a former slave in a world where the nobility is practically against her from the start, and because she is insufferable women. horrible male characters always get a pass when they were given redemption
rashta criticism & hate are welcomed but if the atrocities committed by other characters is conveniently ignored (some of which may or may not make it into the adaptation), then you're also falling for the very propaganda the manhwa is selling: one that favours the wealthy, glorifies the ruling class, and perpetuates elitism, classism and misogyny.
i do hope the drama will broke through this propaganda and will not ignore the atrocities done by both male leads, but if not, guess it is just another propaganda show, where the slaves is the main villain over noble, it only reinforced the stereotypes that oppressed group are dangerous and have low morals and the rich atrocities will continued be ignored, bc this is the world that favor them
now that I acc think about it tho y ppl feel sorry for the slave i mean she was slave it’s just her behaviour…
she was a child slave, others are noble who own and abuse slave. she couldnt simply say no to emperor. yes she is petty, annoying, befitting of someone who lacks education, bc again she was a slave, enduring ridicule from everyone around her for being a former slave, while being new to the rich world
currently still on EP1, is ml transmigrated? or the scam happened in the past, and the beginning is the journey of ml tracking the wife and everyone that involved in his family being killed
the novel was annoying, the story was engaging until the ending. it was just sudden end! i really hate novel with no proper closure esp bc the women suffer so much, the least we could do is to see the men suffering too. genuinely what happened to the writing in the end, it feels like author just get so lazy or have no ambition to write anymore. i hope the drama explore this better, i wanna see all those men suffer
can anyone spoil me what is duzheng issue with lin jinqi or lin family, im in the ep where jinqi clean up his name (for padded coat matters) and noticed he clenched his hand when everyone was happy for jinqi
