So I noticed that you have actually finished and now I think I can say what I understood from that scene. After…
No worries, it was only a minor spoiler. I completely agree that the SML is annoying, but my main issue is why there are so many jealousy scenes for no real reason. Even in Episode 21, we are getting the same repetitive situation again. I might have tolerated it better if I did not already know, through spoilers, what will happen to the SML and how his character will be whitewashed. That just makes these scenes feel even more unnecessary. I think Shine On Me handled this much better. Even though I disliked the SML there as well and he had many scenes with the FL at the start, those scenes were not annoying because the ML was confident in himself.
You need to see how this situation ends before commenting. Even before that, she refused to accept it at first…
To be honest, in my opinion she did not comfort him that much. That is just how I see it, and you are free to have your own opinion as well. She knows he keeps coming on to her despite being rejected multiple times, so how long is she going to tolerate it? It has been almost seven or eight times that she has rejected him, and he keeps ignoring her refusal. At this point, should she not be more firm and direct to show that she is truly not interested? She could also reveal that she is in a relationship instead of keeping it a secret for some unknown reason.

I have not finished the drama yet. I am still on Episode 21. It is just my habit to give ratings while I am watching and adjust them depending on how the story develops. Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand her a bit better now. Still, I feel there are too many unnecessary scenes focused on the SML, added only to make the ML jealous and nothing more.

I watched the entire Episode 20 before commenting. Yes, she refused him before, but after she started dating Zhiyu, Pei Zhen did not use his work connections to pressure her. Just because she did not eat the lunch herself does not mean it was right for her to accept it. She knew that her boyfriend and the second male lead had bad blood between them, so she could have tried harder to reject it. Even if she had already accepted it, she should have comforted her boyfriend first instead of glossing over the issue. His jealousy and insecurity are his own problems, but the least I expect from a girlfriend is to understand why he feels that way and try to comfort him a little. That was something Hu Xiu did not do.
Hu Xiu only ever gets strict with Zhiyu. Even after they start dating, she still accepts lunch boxes from other men, and somehow we are supposed to applaud her as an independent career woman. As if Zhiyu’s feelings do not matter at all. She does not even try to comfort him. What a perfect fantasy for women, apparently.
The game is not the central focus of the drama. It's just how they met and influences the way they behave during…
Yeah I understand but they should have made it more interesting like adding levels and or making it about a real detective-murder plot where players have to find the killer. It could have increased my ratings for the drama.
There is a major issue with the drama. The VR game scenes are boring, and I feel sleepy whenever they appear on screen. The main problem is that they are not engaging or thrilling enough for a murder game.
Anyone else hated SML? Like I can understand him not liking FL but the least he could do was be professional about it and do his job that he was supposed to do instead of wasting everyone's time.
This is the most interesting Emperor I have seen for a while. His acting is so so good that even his nonsensical reasons for doing what he did to everyone makes sense.
Every drama that drops at once faces low rating at the start and it takes time for ratings to stabilize. So let's just wait for it. I also don't think that this won't have ratings lower than 8.
This is the only drama where a FL falls in love with ML just because he didn't kill her and even said that he doesn't kill women. But but but, he was such a hypocrite that he still killed his lover just to get the kingdom.
Am I the only one frustrated with the male lead? Because his behavior makes no sense.You rejected her when she…
Isn’t that a pretty normal reaction, though? Just because he rejected her for personal reasons doesn’t mean he suddenly lost all his feelings for her. Him being jealous is natural, and it doesn’t automatically mean he’s being possessive. We’ve seen plenty of recent FLs act hot and cold after rejecting MLs, but since we rarely see a strong SFL actively pursuing the ML, we don’t usually get to see the FLs being jealous. That’s probably why some viewers react differently to this situation.
