I find the character of the pupil turned father in her second life a lot better. The sacrifices he makes are much more impactful & he was like her real dad, no nonsense & very protective of her,
Tian Qi minus his romantic inclinations towards the FL is not bad but just can't look at his the same way because of the reasons mentioned.

It really does not matter, all the reasons and excuses etc etc...
For all practical purposes, he was one of the people who raised her. He was in her life actively as a toddler and every day hence forth, not as an outsider but as family. if that is not enough to imply what their relationship should have been, nothing ever will. It's like a step-dad falling for his step-daughter, who he raised since she was a toddler.
Cdramas tend to make these kind of creepy relations very often in their dramas. This is nothing new. Have seen dramas where the brother of the ML actively goes after the FL even after the ML and FL are together. the 2ML who many find cute, I often find them creepy as hell. It just may be my taste,
Like I said Tian Qi could have been a friend or father to her and the story would have been much richer with him showing similar emotions, concerns and affections for the FL. But since that is not the case, he comes across as a pervert who pretty much tried to groom a girl he knew since she was a toddler.
I don’t understand the hate for Yumo. Maybe it’s just me but Yumo is far better compared to other SML. We…
Must be in minority since I felt Tian Qi in ALP was creepy. Tian Qi knew FL when she was toddler. He fed her, she played with him as a toddler, as a child and as a young woman. He was for all practical purposes a father figure to her. This made all that followed from him very very creepy, especially after FL made it clear how she viewed him and how he still kept persisting.
Remove that romance fact and let him remain as a father figure and close friend of the FL, the character would have worked better. His affection for FL would not have diminished just like how the pupil turned father in FL second life went about it.
With a father, brother and friend, there is unconditional love. A love without any expectation, which sounds a lot better than the creepy love Tian Qi had for FL. It felt like he was grooming the FL from when she was a toddler.
Cdramas don't do 2ML well. That's because Cdramas think they 'must' have a 2ML in the story. Many times it backfires for various reasons.
Funny how users are resorting to harrassment for disliking how the female character is written. Sorry we have…
the FL does not bother me at all in this one. She is shown as flawed person and it is that. All dramas do not need perfect ML and FL's. Having varied characterization of leads brings a different vibe. The leads as far as I am concerned can be very flawed and eccentric.
The only thing bothered me was the casual violence FL does on ML. It was 3rd or 4th drama I watched in last month on so where the FL is shown to be beating the ML with zero consequences or FL reflecting on it. It looks like these dramas are normalizing ML getting beaten by the FL. That was the only issue. Anyway, the drama does address this for a minute or so through ML but still..
the main cast acts as a married couple, you need to watch the first episode by yourself and decide if, it is worth…
It was for couple of minutes but it pretty much destroyed their romance. I have seen this trope played out many times in Asian dramas & now a days I vomit a bit seeing it.
Add to that the ML simped for the FL for 80k years & for the FL, he was like third or fourth on the list of important…
I absolutely loved Love and redemption. Top 5 Cdrama Xianxia/Wuxia. Even liked the FL. Her character in that drama made sense because how she was built and the redemption arc however small in comparison to what ML did, was acceptable. You watched on screen FL desperately trying to be with the ML.
Eternal Love had none of those. Imagine if genders were reversed and ML ditched FL and her child after he gained power to do his own stuff with other women. I was searching for 'Eternal Love' in this drama until the last episode but all we got was a FL that turned into a sad drunk. In fact in this drama even without the ML the story would still be fine. The central story of this drama was never about the love between ML and FL....it was always about FL and her master. They should have named it something else.
Ancient Love poetry was pretty good in dealing with romance. Another one of my favorite.

I understand who the ML is.
ML was pretty much in love with her when he was a sapling for 40k years and another 40k years after his birth. basically for ML, the FL was center of his world. There is no other woman or person ever in his life. he was willing to die for her.
For the FL, she had a lover before the ML. She also has other men in her life who are more important. the ML was more like a sex buddy for her after she ascended. he was also the dude who would do things for her. Apart from that she pretty much had other things to do and other more important men in her life.
She basically dumped him mid way through the drama along with their child and yet the ML was one who knelt for days outside her home. It was hilarious seeing how much the ML loved the only woman in his life, while the FL was like meh..I have other men and you are not that important.
I agree that "all the men in the drama are in love with the FL" aka reverse harem is really annoying. Just like…
This drama is still very good. The main story ark is very intriguing. Ep11 does very little to the main story. It was a filler and hence the disappointment. And the filler is not very imaginative or entertaining either.
Not all with romance tag are bad. I have liked quite a few romances released this year and some even had love triangles. It needs to be done as part of the story and character consistency should not be lost. Neither of those are happening in this drama with the way romance is being shoved in.
Not sure about the writers but my experience with Cdrama romances has been a disappointment. The ML comes across as fake. Just by judging how the writers write ML, I suspect they have little idea about men and may not have any meaningful and genuine interactions with them. Not always the case but that's how it is in majority of dramas.
It is easy to notice this in these dramas. the drama has a lot of perspective of the FL. We get a lot of thoughts of FL being worded out. the ML's in these dramas never have a perspective. Their thoughts are never told to us. We only get a 3rd person telling us about the ML.
Looks like you don’t know your stuff. If you follow Kdrama at all, you’llKnow that those romance,f4 troupe…
did not know that. started watching asian dramas in last couple of years.
Whats f4 troupe?
The problem is not 'this' romance in this 'this' drama. It's like I have seen the same romance in almost every Cdrama and Kdrama. There is nothing different going on. What's worse is that in dramas like these where the story is very good, this crap pretty much stalls and destroys the momentum. the worst part though is characters become inconsistent, especially ML, who seem to forget his goals and dreams.

We would not laughing if it was the ML thrashing the crap out of the FL.

It's always a harem.
I have seen this trope played out many times in Asian dramas & now a days I vomit a bit seeing it.
It's the usual asian drama trope....FL crying over another dude & the ML getting hots seeing the wailing FL and confessing.
Forget the romance, the story is very intriguing and the ML is giving a stellar performance.
The eye brows especially look out of place.
Who ever writes these stories need to go to therapy.
She was everything you want your FL to be.
Even liked the FL. Her character in that drama made sense because how she was built and the redemption arc however small in comparison to what ML did, was acceptable. You watched on screen FL desperately trying to be with the ML.

Damn, those girls beating that pervert is one of the best things in this drama - they were merciless
and
half of Kdrama ML's
In fact watching these fake ML's (not the one in current drama, he is pretty good) is very cringy.
The main story ark is very intriguing.
Ep11 does very little to the main story. It was a filler and hence the disappointment. And the filler is not very imaginative or entertaining either.

ML is all over the place. As of Ep 11, we don't even know what his goal is anymore. It seems to be curling up and lying down thinking about the FL.
Whats f4 troupe?

ML, his dad, his mothers past and his own place in the world.
FL and her revenge, which seems to have gone awry.
The many characters surrounding them.
There is so much story to be told and all get for half of each episode is some high school level romance & finally ep 11 does nothing for the story.
And the romance is just copy of the worst from Cdramas. Nothing imaginative or original. It's like the writers don't even want to try.
