Loved this so much - additionally because of the HE and an ending that makes sense. It is frankly ridiculous that with more than 30 episodes so many dramas this year couldn't figure their shit out (while also having at least one-episode-lenght amount of useless scenes).
Great acting from the whole cast and amazing cinematography, which enhanced the whole experience. Both main leads were not a favourites of mine before (maybe it was their previous characters) but they delivered wonderfully.
Producer and director said FL 2nd life was to go beyond basic revenge. It was to liberate herself from that so…
She was destroyed by Duke Jing (who became her husband) and her mother [same happened in the last life in a different way but this time she was an innocent person]. It was "no matter the circumstances" untrustworthy and unreliable people will drag one down and destroy them, so should be avoided at all cost. The Duke could only do BS and couldn't accomplish anything and her mother made her into a 'stupid' person (so she could control her), which lead her to falling for a 'bad' person and dying because of him. In contrast Ansu, managed to extract herself from her husband (because she understood her feelings should be ignored when they are different from the "right path") before being destroyed. Ming not leaving him after the miscarriage, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it did.

Yes, she didn't personally get revenge on the stepmother but the stepmother herself destroyed her and her daughter's lives. Still found their interactions super annoying but then again it was the husband/father who was to blame for FL's mother's death. It showed, even if one makes mistakes, if you decide to go on the right path again, there is a way for redemption.
I enjoyed the drama until FL's confession. I wish she would have stayed true to her conviction and would not pursue…
To me it felt that a major dream of the FL initially was to have a peaceful and loving family (which she couldn't have after her mother dying and her father marrying another woman), after being utterly betrayed by her husband - then she doesn't want to marry to protect herself from that kind of pain. It is not just that she doesn't want to marry and finding "the right man" makes her change her character but she finds a man that can be trusted, depended and relied on, so she changes her mind.
if you remember what episode she starts to like him or love him !? we all know that ml fall first sight and harder…
I feel like they have a connection and maybe even "fall in love at first sight" even in the first life but because they are with destroyed spirits, they don't see it. They find a kindred spirit in the other from the very beginning and that becomes love later on. Or maybe it was already when she returned to the river and told him the nature of a sword is to be hidden.
i dislike the focus to song han & ansu at twenty some episodes, maybe because the actor of song han acting is…
To me it is unbearable because of Ansu - she is supposedly a screwed business woman but can't read people and is incredibly naive??? So is more easily controlled than Dou Ming who was a woman with a child's mind basically...
Am I the only one who thinks the only right thing Song Han did, was kill his wife's parasite brother?
He would have been the family's downfall sooner or later...if the author/screenwriter wanted the audience to root against that death - should have made him "more worthy to be alive"... Ansu was ready to discard a friend who saved her and her whole family's lives more than once but couldn't stomach that parasite's death??? Crazy character setting/development...
I might be an extremely odd ball here but I STILL can't hate Ji Yong 😭😭 I of course choose momo and DZ over…
To me him becoming the run-of-the-mill SML is boring and gives yet again the message, women and men cannot be purely friends - if a guy is your friend, it is because he wants to sleep with you. Also, "doing things for her" is treating her as an object.
This maybe didn't need an apology but also there was no need for the scene of her showing middle finger, the news freezing and her freezing would have been a blunder enough in the productiong of the news (no the middle finger situation needed)... or were they satirising the fact that the broadcast obviously froze but they still needed to apologise for "showing middle finger on the news" and the audience didn't get it...
