Oh, yoy want the same old cookie cutter plot is what you’re saying. God forbid and actress try something different…
The choices open to South Korean actresses of a certain age - 40+ - are limited to certain roles, playing a villain is one of them - Dangerous Liaisons has been made in Korea (film/tv series) before. She's a good actress, gorgeous woman & knows how to pick projects that suit her range - & she usually works in dramadies / tragedies. Why can't a 40+ actress be a lead in a romantic role unless she's dying or has a May-December fling? If even Son Ye Jin can't break the stereotype of a Korean aging actress limited to certain roles, nobody else can either.
Look, I did not like her ending up in the same place as the leads - she should've been shown as with her father,…
A fresh peaceful start by leads means a fresh start & clean break from past & toxic people. If SFL is still Yu, that means her son and whatever husband may still show up one day too. Is ML supposed to look at toxic people from HER past all the time?
FL did everything for everyone except for ML - especially in the capital. It was like seeing a totally different FL.
If I remember correctly, TY convinced ZL to come with her to Ganlin because she was still seeking revenge and…
At that time we were told her mom had told her to go to capital since her relatives were there & had shops & she'd be safe - mom didn't say, hey! I own some shops or shares in some shops so go collect & become rich. FL went with ML because she wanted to build a life for herself not be dependent or give others chance to decide her life for her. IF she had all this money from the get go, she could've still married ML & just gone to capital & made a life in capital.
The hook only makes sense if she was poor and didn't have her own money. Why was she eating bread in Ganglin IF she had all this money for support? It's a fairy tale, it has nothing to do with the concept of the show.
FL's character was changed in the last 10 episodes to be a nagging, cold unsupportive wife who liked the power ML's titles gave him & helped everyone but him. It's one thing to help someone, it's quite another to bring same problems with you in your so-called 'fresh start at peaceful life.' Unless it's a love story between FL & SFL, it was a screwup. i did not like it. Good to know that you did not like it either!
Just a random thought:-In ep 36, after seeing Ya Ke end up being a teacher in the same place where Fu Ting Yun…
Look, I did not like her ending up in the same place as the leads - she should've been shown as with her father, teaching students in his town or something.
One reason I like short dramas is because the villains actually get dealt with appropriately. Not...hmmm....whatever…
Were we supposed to feel sorry for Yu lady? I think the drama writer & director fell in love with her character (& she is a good actress) & decided on an emotional farewell for her - even though women like her have nerves of steel - why would she go crazy?! Poverty went to her head?
Is her son really in a better place with his dad and now senile grandma? She’s a teacher now, wouldn’t he…
She should not have been shown working in the same place where the leads live. That was wrong & a betrayal to the audience who wanted to see ML & FL have a clean break from the bad past & enjoy a new life.
SFL in Ganlin means an adult son with Shameless/ SML can always show up - and then the circus from yesteryears will be complete! The leads deserved a clean break.
Wow YJX is extremely audacious to kidnap a imperial level 2 married lady to be his concubine. He really has some…
Filler ep., just to show SFL 'saves' FL & FL finds out her mom's murder was prompted by Yus & then she decides to be nice to the exhausted ML & help him! Nothing made sense in that episode.
The emperor is really waving his emperor flag because wow! Playing with people's emotions like that just to test…
I did not understand the necessity of doing it - other than that writers wanted to show how much ML & FL really loved each other - but I don't know why king would want one of them to drink poison - it just showed they were more loyal to each other than to the king!
