I wouldn't go do far as to call it a joke, but the writers do tend to forget or sideline major relevant plot points.…
bro, the marriage contract was always going to be revealed. That's just what happens in dramas with the marriage contract trope, lmao - it won't be the issue of all issues, and if you didn't think it'd be revealed, I don't think you've watched enough dramas then. It's really enjoyable
this made me so sad like of all the people they chose mandi T-T
Of all of the pig squad, Mandi had a healthy sister waiting for him at home, and he was so young with so much ahead of him. The timing was horrible too, like after Fan Changyu realized she can't show mercy on the battlefield, he dies in the VERY NEXT battle like DAM. But I get it was for her growth, but like Man Di (SOBS)
I was lowkey sad when Qi Min stabbed Sui Yuan Qing... Like he truly saw Qi min as a brother, and then that betrayal. I still hate Sui Yuan Qing, but that made me feel so bad. Sui Yuan Qing then cutting his own head off for the bandit leader was so hard to watch like I didn't want him to die like that - at that point I hoped she would save him and they would join Fan Changyu's side but it makes sense he died because he wouldn't join her side or I should say Fan Changyu wouldn't be able to accept him but yeah his death was sad to watch like I wanted him to die but not like that. Oh well...I would have preferred it if it were like he died, but it was in vengeance for the village, but it is what it is. Qi min is a SICK BASTARD, and I need him to die
Why do you think he's not totally a green flag? I'm not challenging, just curious.
His first kiss with FL was literally without consent and even after she pushed him away he forced another kiss? - I know they've moved on from that but it gave me the ick and I can't forget it no matter how close they are now.
K-Drama 
Loved the show!!
