Haven't watched this but probably will. What I AM curious about if the two side guys will have similar crazy good chemistry again lmao. I still remember how much people shipped goo yong ha & moon jae shin in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. :)
hi! Does she ever get a lover? Do the main leads have true love for many episodes before he turns bad? Do they…
The FL liked the second main lead first before having feeling/falling for the ML. The main leads are in love for maybe 6-7 episodes before he did this one irreversible, tragic action that the FL witnessed, forever changing their dynamic. No children. No sex with Sese or the FL either. (He sleeps with Sese one time but I think he was drunk and fell asleep there.) He does sleep side-by-side with the FL a couple times.
No, he doesn't sell her or anything like that. Essentially, he was always going to kill her grandfather (and the grandfather's tribe) as revenge for them killing his brother (the crown prince) and he used the FL to find the tribe which was hidden in a complicated geography. However, this became complicated when he fell in love with her. So when everything was revealed, in the FL's perspective, he used her and played with her feelings to get to his motive. For the ML's perspective, it was accidental and he will forever regret what he did to her grandfather's tribe. That's the tragedy and to further that tragedy, the ML was deceived to believe it was the grandfather's tribe who killed his brother when it was actually someone else who set it up like that.
Hi Does he still die alone, heart broken and know exactly what he did? Has he suffered and been a pitiful ruler?…
Hi, for your first comment: he marries Sese and he visits her a couple times but I think he only slept in the bed with her one time (and it wasn't sex; I think he was drunk and fell asleep at her place). He doesn't have a harem as he's still only a prince, not the king. He doesn't act like he's in love with the FL actually. To protect her from his enemies, he acts like he doesn't love her and always argue with her.
For the comments about his character and how bad he was, it's because of the power struggle for the crown prince position that he does a lot of things that end up hurting the FL. (Choosing Sese is one of actions he does, but again, it's a performance so that his enemies doesn't hurt the FL.) It's painful because the audience can see why the ML did what he did, but it still hurt the FL a lot, so the FL suffers a lot in the end. (Well, they both did in their own ways, but ML's actions directly affected FL.)
Some of my favs are in here like zhao lusi and liu haikuan. can't wait!! Does anyone know if the comic is translated in English? And where to read it? Thanks!
Yalls, I hate Lu Yuan SO MUCH. Ugh. He's getting away with so much. I don't think I've ever hated a villain this much. (I'm only on episode 12. If Lu Yuan continues his smug ways all 50+ episodes, I don't know how much I can deal with it.)
Hi Does he still die alone, heart broken and know exactly what he did? Has he suffered and been a pitiful ruler?…
Yes, he dies unmarried, still heartbroken--at least, that's indicated when he jumps into the river of oblivion as an old man. He has always been aware of the terrible things he's done, thus, why it weighs heavily on him years after xiao feng has already died. He was a fine ruler because there was peace during his reign and the passing of his crown to the next was peaceful, but he was pitiful in the sense that he never got over Xiao Feng and their complicated love. I'm not sure about your next question about the "use" of harem ladies? He only had that one lady Sese and it was a bit frustrating to see him use Sese as a cover but considering that Sese wasn't the best person either, I wasn't mad about it.
hi, I watched it on Viki (it has the original version and the director's cut version). The ads are kind of annoying, but it was worth it for the high quality episodes and subs.
Coming back to say that I found one minor difference between the original and the director's cut. It happened while I was re-watching some of the sad scenes, lol.
In the original version when Gu Jian died, the background OST was "First Sight." In the director's cut, the song was the male version of "Love Catastrophe." Personally, I'm glad they fixed that because "First Sight" was Xiao Feng & Li Chengyin's song, NOT Xiao Feng & Gu Jian's song. So, that fix makes so much more sense.
Truly, the director's cut version really makes this drama top-notch.
The hacker mini-arc was very confusing and almost made me drop the lakorn because it felt very sudden, but once I got passed that, it was easier to watch. I think what helped me accept the hacker aspect was the fact that Thien really doesn't know Muey at all; Muey has been a capable person from the start, but because of her bubbly personality, Thien took her as someone who wasn't very bright. The reality is that Thien have never seen her true self--and this will be an obstacle later on the lakorn--and so Muey being capable of hacking and being competent surprised Thien. That was the beginning of him learning that he truly didn't know her at all.
(Honestly, I think the editing of this drama could've done better to prepare the audience for the hacker mini-arc. Unfortunately, it wasn't, so the audience suffered a bit in trying to understand what the hell is going on. I know I did. The editing in general was lacking in several episodes...)
I enjoyed this lakorn a lot! There were a couple things I had beef with, but overall, I liked this drama a lot and it truly turned me into a Mark and Mew shipper. I hope they'll do more lakorns together because they have great chemistry together and, especially in this drama, their scenes were sooo good and so sweet. I hope folks will give this a chance. I highly recommend churning through the beginning episodes because the show gets really sweet towards the middle. :)
Also, comparing this show to Romance of Tiger and Rose is unfair. The only similarity this show has with Tiger and Rose is the fact that they went into a historical setting. That's all. The characters' personalities are different and the situations are completely different. This show, the FL enters a virtual reality game; Tiger and Rose, the FL enters a dream. This show, FL and ML already have an established relationship that needs repairing; Tiger and Rose, FL and ML have to develop their hate/love relationship. I love both shows and enjoyed them both separately because of their comedy and strong heartfelt moments. Please, enjoy them both. No need to fight.
Not sure why folks don't like the FL. She's short-temper at times, yeah, but it makes sense why she reacts the way she does. It's not random. She wishes to do normal things with her boyfriend, but has to hide her relationship and rarely gets to see him. She loves him very much but feels neglected. Anyone in a relationship like that would feel upset.
lol it's so strange to watch cecilia in this drama after watching her in Lost Love in Times (which was my first drama of her). The voice for her in this drama is a bit higher pitched than LLIT and she has a lot of funny expressions compared to LLIT. I'm still getting used to it (and especially getting used to the quality) and going to give this drama a chance. :)
I agree. FL was right to leave him to figure out herself and this whole situation and their reconciliation happened too quickly. He had barely begun to change and work on himself when they already came back together.
Can someone explain the connection this series have to "Well Intended Love" and why these series began with "Well ---- love"? Just curious to if these two series are suppose to be set in the same universe or if there's some other thread that connects them.
Personally had a hard time with this drama and stopped halfway through the series. I have only returned to it recently and am finishing where I left off, but I think it was hard to watch because I was too angry at how much she suffered during her mortal life and how she was just so helpless as a mortal. I didn't like Ye Hua very much during that time.
me: ...okay, maybe it's about time I finally watch it.
(My sister has also been bugging me for like a year to watch it as it's one of our favorite cdramas lol.)

You can also find the drama on Youtube on this playlist, but the subs aren't as great or nuanced as the Viki subs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssqRk2rkt4Q&list=PLpghCOjR4Qqqnyhqdk6xti-qcnUGn8DY_
