Another thing I have to commend this drama is the fact that Sanggeng still felt kinship with for his Shifu. He doesn't know specifically that Leng killed his father but he does know that he was responsible indirectly and covered up the fire that caused his father's death.
For him there are two parts of his life, life with his father and then Leng as his father figure. Even if he were to have heard that Leng directly killed his father, it is not easy for that relation to turn to hate or even indifference. It would be very complicated and he would still go through grief and even love for Leng.
I highly suspect Wei knew at the end that Xue was going to kill him. He knew what was coming, imo.
Didn't Wei already give the answer on how he knew who the culprits were through Zhong's writings? Or was that revealed to audience and he wasn't telling anyone anything in that audience.
Also who killed the cook? It couldn't have been Xue because he was protected at the Yamen. he was promised that he would be safe until Xue was brought to justice. They went to arrest Xue pretty much right after they made a deal with Niu Bu Yan.
I came across this and am on the third episode. I don't know how the rest of the series will go, but so far I…
Also from what I see in episode 3, I wouldn't say she made a wrong decision even in lying to him. He was willing to let go of his admission and chance to stay with her and she didn't want him to do that. If she had told him the truth, he wouldn't have gone.
Sure they could have still worked out, she would achieve her dream. He would have achieve success through a different path. But this is who they are now, this is their timeline and this is their second chance--not a story of them with others, but each other.
I came across this and am on the third episode. I don't know how the rest of the series will go, but so far I am really enjoying this. Imo, this genre of the drama is either missing these days, or I just don't watch or keep up with dramas as I used to.
This is the genre of the main couple being ex-lovers. For this to happen, unless it is a high school relationship, there has to be mistakes made by one party and even then it may not be mistake but rather how they reacted in certain circumstances. I saw many comments saying that it's a double standard because ML would not be accepted if he did the same as FL. I don't really agree to this as I'm sure there have been older dramas where similar reasons were behind a break-up. And it may be true of others that they would not be accepting of an ML, but that is not the case for me. I am glad to see a storyline in this vein which I haven't really come across in a long time.
And, I am not really the one who calls everything noble idiocy even if it occurs in the middle or towards the end of a drama. Many times, yes, but In some circumstances and at certain times--certain decisions make sense. And there have been dramas where I understood and didn't have an issue with 'noble idiocy.'
And I believe FL made the right choice eight years ago. A lot of dramas in the past few years we see a main character acknowledge the ex's decision and understand it (I think the first big drama I can recall that kind of started this angle was Cheongdam-dong Alice), and even admit that it made them who they are today, etc--except it's not the OTP but rather an ex who is a third wheel or arc in main couple's story.
Here, it's just that the ex-couple are the main couple and the OTP.
'Occupation of Palestinian people' is sentence used by people with little or no knowledge of history.It's like…
This is my final reply. I replied so others could read my reply and not so much I care about your dumb arguments.
You seem to think 'Muslims' are an ethnicity. The people in that land today can trace their history and even DNA back to the people in the land that the Jews' Holy book claims were eradicated from that land.
Not only that, people in that land changed religion because again 'Muslim' is not an ethncity.
given how she reacted toward SY without having the full information even (the old hag cryptic msg do not count)…
She behaved that way to SY because of how she realized 1) hand was affecting him and 2) because she believed the curse will still affect him and his life. It wasn't because of any blame or reaction to how past life SY behaved but what she believed were and would be present-life consequences.
She would have no reason to cut off JK just because of what SY saw of him in past life. He has not given any reason for her to be mistrustful of him and she is not callous to judge actions and relationships in present simply on the basis of their past lives. There is no curse or consequences she knows of with JK in present, but she knew there were with SY.
Am on a Japanese drama binge now after some years of only finding a few here and there that I could watch. I guess…
Shiho was obviously a manipulative user, but in the end it was because of her being straight with Rinko that led to Rinko breaking up, which led to both Rinko wanting to confess to Gen, and Gen feeling threatened by Mihoka to confess as well.
Doesn't take that much away from the drama for me. Once Shiho got her place/situation secured with the richer guy, she was back to being nice, and it's better for Gen that she's out of his hair. But yeah...
Am on a Japanese drama binge now after some years of only finding a few here and there that I could watch. I guess I stopped looking the past few years, and so now am coming across dramas a few years old.
Enjoyed this drama. I just have one small annoyance.
I think there was a period where I couldn't find Japanese dramas with subs easily that weren't high school dramas, and I kind of stopped watching JDramas with some exceptions here and there. I've been missing out in these past years, I guess.
I came across this drama this week, and really enjoyed binging this.
it's because of the curse she put on herself. for all intents and purpose it was still black magic.
Yeah, makes sense. It's likely that she started a black magic spell but the one she did was the curse on her killer rather than cursing the prince to die.
Why was her hand purple because of the black magic if she didn't end up putting the curse? She says she was forced put the curse on the prince but she didn't go through with it, and it's implied that the past-life gardener did it.
Did she only back out at the end, and she will still be affected?
Or is it the -whoever kills her curse--that she put on herself? Is that it? (Though imo, if it were up to me it should be some sort of prerequisite protection spell Shamans have for their own safety. And whoever orders dismembering wouldn't/shouldn't escape either, they should have their bases covered.)
Cliché, cliché, but it can happen in real life. I mean, if you call someone immediately after they called you…
First, there's the fact that it took her that long to answer. If she was so traumatized that it took her that long to register the phone vibrating, then that's more reason he 1) shouldn't have gone out like that 2) should have told her to keep the phone out and next to her
Then there's the fact that she apparently couldn't answer the phone and check the doorbell at the same time. If you say that phone stopped ringing as the doorbell rang, then that gies back to first point...she shouldn't have taken so long to answer.
Then, she gets the busy signal which means her phone is no longer engaged after she hangs up. So what is happening while he's calling her... ?
There is too much time where she's just more focused on the door/ doorbell instead of either answering the phone or trying to call him again or whatever.
Even if HJ picked up the phone, same thing would happen because SY would be stupid enough to continue advancing by himself towards danger.
Perhaps if she picked up, she could tell him not to do so, but knowing him that would be unlikely. Actually they could've written it that way instead of the cliché phone calls not going going through and what not.
I don't know why some are calling this melodrama? It really isn't and there are only three more episodes left so even if it becomes melo it's nothing like the melos of old.
Why can't characters be a little more proactive. If you're going to go check something out, tell her to keep her phone on her and answer it (not only take the phone after it's been ringing and then playing phone tag). Not to mention It was kind of stupid of you to do that all on your own with no backup. The dude could've done the same thing in the garage...
Anyway, such stupidity is needed for story to move...lol... so I'm just saying...

Good to know who are the Zionists and Imperialists on this site.
this comment is one of the most memorable comments I've read on this site and one I will probably always remember. lol.
