they also should have only eaten food they cooked themselves.

this should have been a movie. there may be an interesting story in this drama, but they couldn't find it.

i agree, but it also doesn't have to be filmed like bad soft porn.
frozen flower has left a permanent scar on my psyche.

this is filmed so much more tastefully than queen woo and the queen who crowns. just proves they can film mature scenes without them seeming crude and raunchy.

i think kang hee realized a reum is not a good friend at that moment.

of course, he did. that doesn't make the execution less toxic. he proves himself to be toxic in the next episode(s) when he parks himself in the yard of the ex-fiance and cuts down her tree. he's toxic.

what does this have to do with someone rescuing you from danger and putting you in a situation where you still think you're in danger when they could actually help you feel assured and safe? that wouldn't be normal then or now.

it's quite toxic to continue the kidnapping scenario even when they'd be rescued.

seems like a longer drama version of hilarious family

everyone has allies and spies. this doesn't make him weak.

his inner strength and ability to discern is determined by how emasculated he feels by the queen. this makes him weak.

they all have strong characters, except for the king.

i haven't seen the ending yet, but i did wonder about how a typical ending to a law enforcement-centered chinese drama (the state always wins) will mar the ending of this work.

it's not explicit. it's implied, so there are no graphic scenes of the act.

imagine your mother sacrificing your future for that idiot brother. i'd have left and never looked back. besides mei wei's character, her mother is her biggest enemy.

true. we only heard the gunshots.

they would have been rewarded for capturing a murder and a thief. they would have also recovered the lost payroll for the town. and, they wouldn't have punished the son for being an off-spring of a criminal.

they are all terrible people/friends for different reasons, but it was self-defense.

you can't blame mr. he for wanting and exacting revenge, but his revenge is so dishonest. he just uses people. it's manipulative and underhanded. i don't think he evens finds satisfaction for revenge. he finds reward in those he sacrifices. in the end, rather than get revenge by his own hand, he ran away. he is an angry coward.

i seriously thought it was him in this role.
