Keep watching, he does a complete 180 degrees, quite early in the series, and is greenest of green flags (only towards FL).

Yes, I think he wanted to run away with yu xiao, but noway will she forget his betrayal!

To be fair to him, he has not wanted to kill yu xiao after the fall from the cliff! He confessed that he realized how important she was to him after the incident. He has not been involved in any of the assassination attempts on yu xiao. In fact, the death camp woman specifically said she would be in trouble if XJS finds out she has anything to do with FYX death.
I do think he genuinely loves her, but he made some terrible life choices and he needs to pay for his sins.

Interesting.. he's never openly expressed any acknowledgement like the empress and the princess!

I just realized that Feng Sui ge has no idea (in the drama) about the romantic history of Yi Xua and Xia Jing Shi, that they were going to marry and how obsessed SML is with FL. In his mind, he just thinks that SML values FL highly as his military commander and then later tried to kill her.

True, ML is actually the killer god of Susha with others, he's so Scary!
But with FL, he's the exact opposite, such a Softie! And right now, it's a total one way street, he's just giving and giving. FL is only receiving up till now, it will surely change once she starts to feel something back

That punching on the stomach, was to make her release her bite. She looked like she would bite away a chunk of his flesh at that point, looked quite scary. Reminded me off a pit bull that won't release once it gets a bite. Btw, FL returned back for each and every kick and whip that she got from him (with interest).
On another note, ML is totally simping over FL right now and I'm all here for it. Wonder how long it will take for FL to reciprocate the feelings.

I didn't understand, who's the end game?

Yeah I absolutely agree! It is quite obvious that JP still likes JH!

Yeah JH and JP definitely seemed like they're still into each other at episode 8 ending.. Curious about one thing, what makes you think the judge (YR bro) likes JH? For me, it's never been obvious, as in, he's been nice to her but he pretty much treats her like he would his own sister.

Same here, Jong hui is the absolute Best character in this drama. I was quite upset that there was no JH at all in episode 7, glad they made up for it in episode 8. I just hope she had a happy ending whatever it is.

After episode 7, it was quite clear they are headed towards a KYR and JP end game with all the forced love scenes, which is absolutely fine by me.
I just want to see JH shine, it's great to see that she got the good fortune to be adopted and seems like she's happy in her life, attending college etc.
But at the end of the episode 8, I was quite shocked to see the way JP reacted to JH.
Ive always noticed in the past, that JP was always chasing JH when she was leaving, and he would always grab her hand forcefully to stop her from leaving.. I've honestly lost count of how many scenarios and how many times (in the past) he used to run behind and grab her hand that way. It is borderline aggressive the way he does it, but I used to find it cute because I thought he was not in control of his emotions and didn't want to risk letting her go. *Young passionate teenager* feels.
It seems kinda wrong for him to be doing that even in the present when he seems to be falling for KYR. He did it twice in this episode 8. I'm not sure what the director's intention here is, but it again conveys that JP is not in control of his emotions when JH is around. In contrast, he has always been the most polite and friendly with KYR in the past and even present. It's quite messy, and I just hope both KYR and JH are happy without JP.. They both deserve better. It's best that the 3 remain friends.

I want more than 3 kisses, this couple has 🔥🔥🔥 chemistry! After watching ADWAD, that's my benchmark for how many kiss scenes I want in a Cdrama 😅

FL makes the first move, both in the past and present! ML is quite wooden, and refused to take the first step despite all her clues!

Honestly, the whole sequence of events was so weird. She has been dropping hints throughout that she likes him, but he never takes the first step. She finally took courage and confessed first. And his response was that peck, I mean are they 80? This might be my fault, after watching cdramas, I can't bear these soulless passionless kisses. As a character, I'm not a fan of an ju hyeong!

Agree...

I'm a little lost here, why would the drama not pass censorship?

Please can you elaborate when you feel she is miscast or her looks don't fit? What do you actually mean by that? Do you mean she is not beautiful enough or her acting is not good? I feel the exact opposite.. I cannot imagine anyone else playing the role of song yi meng better than her! I'm not sure if you feel cringe comedy is easy to portray, but I think no one else could have done a better job at that role.
It's also interesting that you've never watched a li yi tong drama, she's been in the industry for long . I've always liked her and started watching ADWAD for her. Her visuals are insane in ADWAD, she is just so gorgeous, and coupled with her cute outgoing personality and outrageous behavior, I can totally imagine nan Heng completely obsessed with SYM, and why he kept chasing her.
After seeing all the BTS and interviews, it looks like her personality is very much similar to SYM outgoing extroverted personality and hence seems well suited to the role.
I'm really happy she's finally getting some recognition in this drama. Looking forward to her future works, especially sword and beloved.

Same, I'm so upset.. I've been looking forward to this drama for months, but I can't remember a more boring first episode in a kdrama. I hope the second episode is better, first one was a snooze fest.

Dear Missy, is a modern romance.
