Only here for the ML
Not sure how I came across this other than seeing that Cao Tian Kai was in it - so I decided to watch it. It's really the only reason to watch it.
What I liked:
Obviously, the ML - really could just about watch him in anything.
Story was just so-so - although the early part where he takes care of her when she is blind was very sweet and I do wish we saw him in more of this mode instead of the super-aggressive mode that plays way too often.
What I didnt like:
FL character - she was just too mousy and a doormat too much of the time. And totally didnt get why she was so afraid of the grandfather - not even her grandfather - jeebus girl! Another FL that I just didnt get what so appealing about her.
Speaking of - so disliked him - the typical, old-school mindset - especially when he whips the ML (this whole idea of 'family rules' and capital punishment is just absurd) - its 2026 ffs, not an old dynasty era. Its a grown adult metting out capitol punishment because they have anger-management issues - its just gross But what pissed me off the most was him constantly taking the FL's autonomy away - making decisions for her, never listening to her, didnt care what she wanted (now granted, she never stands up for herself, so it doesnt help).
Romance scenes weren't all that great - mostly because he was too aggressive, a bunch of coercion and basically manipulates her early by lying to her about who he is to get her to sleep with him. How the writers try to make this romantic is beyond me.
