i think based of everything you said and my own observation this isnt for me. i think this portrayal of a smart female character is unearned and cringe. i hate that most people uu and ahh at her in the first 3 eps and that all she achieves she lucked into from gaining that family’s favor by happenstance. to be honest i think this all signals poor character writing so i should skip 🥲

tell me you cant be asked to pay attention without telling me you cant be asked to pay attention.

this has SO much subtle foreshadowing, so much depth and richness to its quiet moments, you are missing out.

i guess there are always other options out there tho, dont waste your time if you dont click with thia type of thing

i had fun and enjoyed PoJ but it wishes it was as well written as this so far is. PoJ wouldve been a fave if the second half could deliver on the promises made by the first. PoJ is fun, cute, sexy, and easy to like. This is not always easy to watch but its (so far) incredibly well crafted in all aspects.

omg i read reviews and i think the reasons to eyeroll are gonna be innumerable. ill stick to it until ep10 then reevaluate if there is enough worth continuing

at this point this is an eye workout given how many eyerolls it triggers

also coming from watching The First Jasmine doesnt help either. puts this portrayal in unflattering contrast.

its funny to me when they write a “badass” female character and dont properly show how harsh that time period would be for such a person. doesnt fill me with confidence on the character writing department.

things go her way despite her clumsy ways solely due to luck. so far anyway

im just starting but the FL wouldn’t get far in that world if she hadn’t lucked out by finding the backing she did from the start. she is a blunt instrument in how she approaches everything. no finesse, little tact, making many enemies before even knowing how far this royal family will back her.

now im worried ill feel the same… im just starting 🥲

its funny how taste works because i see her as very pretty max not a great beauty or anything. but you did make me pay more attention to her and regardless i enjoy looking at her so win win. just started btw, did you manage to decide if you’ll continue?

me too, my heart literally aches, it’s devastating what ye li had to endure

this deserves over 8.6, i loved fated hearts and that’s 8.7 but its in NO WAY better, its great but the only thing it has over this is that it’s inherently a sexier setup. but this beats it in all other aspects.

sometimes I really wish these ratings truly reflected the quality but they only reflect how easy to love something is. EMPHASIS ON THE “easy”

talking like someone with pathetically low EQ

poor ye li, i cried so much. her loneliness is so resonant to me.

we will suffer together then 🥲

😆

so only one a day till the end from now on?

indeed, selfserving jerks

so much crap gets 30k, id be a darn shame if this did not

yeah exactly how i felt. but very pretty and expensive otherwise
