Though I love the drama, I personally don't have much hope for this. I am not a fan of Oh Yeon Seo's acting (besides Jang Bori) and Choi Jin Hyuk doesn't really fit the image of the ML. I will give it a try though when it airs, and I'm very much open to be surprised.
I don't think I've ever felt so much sympathy for a ML in a romantic drama. This man is yearning so much, he has trouble sleeping and is starting to hate himself. Someone, please make his suffering stop.
You know, I just watched ep 1, and I came here for an explanation as to why ep 2 showed me "previously seen on" scenes that definitely did not happen, but after ready some comments I guess I'll just save my time haha
I have to disagree, I think the leads also actually are very realistic, interactions, and behaviours. They both…
Yeah, and I think she should've been perfect in coordination and memory because of all the sword dances she surely learned as the crown prince, but maybe just very still in the hips. But yeah, maybe the rest of her "girly" behaviour is learned from the brothel.

Them being unrealistic wasn't really a critique, but I still don't think they are. Someone with JBZ's history would probably suffer much more from PTSD, be more angry and destructive, and not only be distrustful but still very empathetic. And someone like MY who had to pretend her whole life to be male would probably have some identity issues, and surely wouldn't really know how to behave "girly". Also, given her personality, her relationship with her mother, and her status as crown prince, I would expect her to be much more of a people pleaser, less mischievous and bubbly, but more aloof and strategic. But like I said, it's not really a critique. It's a light-hearted drama, and I know when to expect realism in character arcs and when not.
The reason Situ Ling makes me so angry is that his character is by far the only realistic thing about this drama. Somehow, he got it into his head that this pretty fairy has to fall in love with him if he sacrifices just enough, even though she doesn't know him. He becomes her friend, but only because he wants more. "I'm her friend, but why is she treating me as just a friend? She is friendly to me, that basically means she doesn't care for me." Why won't she fall in love with him even though she's already in a relationship? She can't really love Ji Bo Zai because he's a bad boy, and he's a nice guy. "Nobody loves me because I'm weak, and Ming Yi would definitely fall in love with me because only my weakness is stopping her. " Incel behaviour.
Situ Ling really has too much screen time. His level of delusion is so irritating, OMG. Meeting once as a child and then forming this life altering and undoable crush for someone who doesn't care for you is really one of my least favourite trope. It's right there with surprise pregnancy and mid-story amnesia.
This is actually better than I thought. The first three eps were kinda weird, but it really picks up after that. Also, I realized how much I love having children be part of the family cast and not only a plot device to show how nice and caring the leads are.
I don't understand how the magic works. There's people with spirit veins and those without, but the one's without can still do some magic? But then what's the limit?
can someone explain what a spirit well is? thank you 🫶🏻
I think it's just his personal mind palace but manifested into a real physical space that exist outside his body and thus can be entered and store objects
Exactly li when i watched the double the wasn't a single kiss but the drama was soo good as long as the drama…
lol I remember three small kisses but yeah their chemistry was so amazing, what I really remember is the rain scene where I was aching for them to kiss because it was so good.
I will give it a try though when it airs, and I'm very much open to be surprised.
Not really bad, not really good. Nothing new.

Incel behaviour.
