You're right that's usually the case for a lot of xianxia but not all, this seems like it won't follow that trend, from his side sure but from her? Nah. It seems all she wants to do is torture and kill him (it's obviously because of misunderstanding) vs him when even if he doesn't know why and she's torturing him and causing him so much pain he still loves her and would do anything for her.

Yeah I know they did at her restaurant, it is a plot hole and it really bothered me as well but I just glossed over it because there is a possibility that she just didn't find her given the time and the circumstances...

Yeah this was something that confused me too, she said that she didn't remember her mom's restaurant's name or where it was and this was 30 years ago (20 years ago is when her mother died ) and the show is set in 2023 so it would be around 1993 there's no social media etc, her mom was a poor woman so there would've been no TV coverage to find her etc and there was also that comment from the man I na found who said he was finding kids because the government was doing nothing.
You're right she could've gone around orphanages looking for her or went back to the amusement park??? It doesn't make sense but you can chalk it up to no one cared and they thought she was abandoned so no one thought to take her to the park to see if her mother was there (another thing is couldn't the mother have paid for a poster to be hung up at the park in case she came back) and once she was old enough to go back by herself (17yo) her mother was already dead.

I'm not disappointed that's your opinion and you're welcome to it, as I am to mine that's she not. Clearly we've watched very different final episodes... Psychopaths don't feel remorse so her not standing herself is in direct opposition of what you're saying plus they've made it clear she only killed people whom she thought deserved it, I na tells her multiple times why didn't you kill me? And she tells her it wasn't her fault she didn't do anything wrong which again contradicts your view of her killing whomever but I digress.

She's not a psychopath though? She genuinely felt remorse for what she did despite thinking she had to do it so much so that she killed herself she literally said she couldn't stand herself anymore. She stood outside the funeral home where the body of the detective who protected her was for 30 minutes in the rain but couldn't go in, what did you think that was for? Compare that to the people who caused her mother's death and so many others misfortunes and never even remembered their names, psychopathy is not a set classification even less so in its depiction in fiction...

Seung Ju's death broke my heart. The fact that these people caused , covered up someone's death and then made her the perpetrator for no other reason than greed? Absolutely vile. What's worse is NONE of them remembered her mom or what they did. She was nothing to them, not even worth knowing her name...

The serial killer even though she was avenging her mom's death was so disgusted with herself that she set herself on fire to die the same way her mother did, she lived her life as a ghost with no friends or connections just emptiness and unimaginable grief. The "victims"? They were happily living their lives built on the blood and bones of so many people.

Her mother surely wasn't the only victim, she was the one who died at that time but what about the other people? The ones who lost their livelihoods and businesses and got nothing for it? The ones who got injured in that fire? The ones who could no longer provide for their families? Or pay medical bills if their kid got sick ? The ones who might have killed themselves because they had no way other left? There must've been so many people who suffered as a consequence of that redevelopment and to think that one cared and no one remembered is the saddest thing of all.

I loved Falling into you, the FL really sold it you really believed she was in love with him and it wasn't just the acting it was the writing too, unlike most cdramas they truly made as much effort and put as much work and care into the relationship as each other instead of it being just the ML.

I would love to read that list, I'm getting so tired of the same rinse and repeat of wholly devoted MLs and FLs who 90% of the time do not reciprocate. It's so rare to find a FL who loves more or like you said even equally, there aren't that many the only ones I can think of right now are love between fairy and devil, road home, you are my glory, hidden love, fake it till you make it, wanna be and falling into you.

I just realized something, why does Han saem's mother live at the one city? That place is the crux of the mystery and it's very interesting that his mom lives there, it seems like she doesn't work, he's not rich, he said his father was a small time actor so where did they get the money for such an expensive place? It would make no sense that he's involved but also there has to be some sort of relevance to this.

Yeah that was also weird, the way she acted with the guy psychologist in this episode makes me think she very much suspects it's him but like you said it's strange that she didn't look into her parents connection into one city when that should've been a priority. All things considered they're not glaring plotholes because I've seen soooo much worse and this is generally well written, let's just hope the last 2 episodes give satisfying and logical answers as well as satisfying endings for the characters.

Do we think the killer deliberately killed the 1st two people knowing I na would be there or close? It can't be a coincidence that she was present at both deaths. I really think there's a link between them, as in they knew each other as children . The killer is committing these murders because he's getting revenge for something they did to children including him, the man who died on the boat mentioned her parents and one city and we know the entire case is related to it so maybe something happened to all these children and I na doesn't remember but the killer does and he's trying to make her remember as well as expose the wrong doing of these people.

One thing that didn't make sense and I think the writer only did it to make it possible for the events in that field to take place, is them not having more than one person on that stakeout of the detective's house.

Usually surveillance is done by 2 people and especially in the case of something this important? That should've been the bare minimum. Not to mention even if they were going to send one person why was it the least experienced and the one who has already made mistakes? The person they're watching is a very experienced talented detective whom they know is aware they're tailing him.

It's not something huge but it kind of bothered me and took me out of the story for a bit.

I truly love Manman, she's such a great person and has so much weight on her shoulders, she loves her family because she grew up loved and cherished, she loves her people because she's a good person and understands her responsibilities, she loves WS because she understands who he is and sees how he's treated her. It's logical for her to love each of them as much as the other especially considering the person we know her to be. I completely understand her as I'm someone who puts my family and my goals above romantic love, she's not doing anything wrong.

But this is fiction so I also can't help but feel sorrowful for Wei Shao, it's so clear from his actions and words that he loves MM more than anything and I wish there was one person who loved him unconditionally and above all else. Not for any other reason than because he deserves it, the people he's lost, the trauma he's endured, the childhood he's had,the way he acts when people wrong him (his mom, his cousin, his wife) where he's always the 1st one to extend his hand.

Manman has had to deal with the weight of her family since she got married but he's carried his entire clan and their future and hatred since he was a child for more than a decade. He feels so worthless because he thinks he's replacing his brother and because he's been abandoned (not by choice) by the people he loves the most; so much so he'll forgive anything and even say it's his fault because he fears that they'll leave him, that he's not good enough, because he thinks they can't possibly love him as much as he loves them and sadly in a way he's right.

They did, they said this person wanted to send a message, the 1st kill was ruled a suicide and they didn't even notice the puzzle piece, the 2nd kill which was a few months after (her uncle) was thought to be an isolated incident and the main suspect was his niece. In ep 9 the way the killer contacted the media and the way he's leaving the puzzles makes it seem like he has a story to tell. Although idk what exactly made him start up at this exact time again it seems to have something to do with I na since starting from his 3rd kill when he began killing again he started sending her puzzle pieces so something must've changed. I'm sure they'll address it in the last 2 episodes.

No LBFAD is a happy ending he comes back at the end???? For falling into you the SML was into her but she never saw him as anything more than a friend and the way she put her all to make sure the ML was successful in his passion was beautiful. Lmao about YAMG he's always working too isn't he? He's busier than her and she does take a 2 month break to stay with him. Nah it's cool I don't necessarily agree with you but if it bothers you that's valid.

I also just had this thought more than the rites, the fact that he went to protect YZ when he didn't have to even after he found out she did, risking his life and his people and his family (if they lost) mostly for her despite the parallel scenario being her family leaving his for dead is yet again proof of his unquestioning love. She couldn't tell him the truth when they were united but her put her first even when they were divided. The last 6 episodes really need to do some course correcting to balance things out.

I agree with all of those and I did feel the FL of Blossom fit the bill. What about the ending of LBFAD? It's a happy ending although brief. Other ones I would recommend would be Falling into you, you are my glory and a more recent one is Wanna be.

I do agree with that, they're not in the same position and on a certain level I get where she's coming from however I might add that for me at least what he did for her takes an indescribable about of love and must have so so difficult no less difficult than what would've taken her to trust him.

Now the mistake was made and we're moving on I truly hope with the remaining episodes we get to see her do something as grand and heartfelt from her that pertains to them not serving the people or his family, just him and echo back his words to him in her own way of the world meaning nothing without her etc.

They're doing quite well so far and I'm surprised they even had her cousin say those words to her and her reflecting on them because most cdramas just have FLs do whatever they want never taking accountability and the ML has to always say no it's my fault you did nothing wrong which the preview is giving me war flashbacks of lol that's why I'm still apprehensive.

Rant away we're all entitled to our opinions. That's basically most cdramas the ML is always more in love more giving more everything. If you want a drama with a FL whom I felt truly and unequivocally adores the ML 100% as much he does, I recommend Love between fairy and devil and more recently Blossom

It's proof of how much he loves her because the nonsense he's saying about the letter shows that he already forgave her. After her heartbreak and what she did to save them I do believe she really loves him but I still can't see that it's as unconditional and deep as his love, that's what's missing. Him needing reinforcements was due to her mistake in the 1st place if she did this when it was a normal war? Absolutely.

His gesture with her grandfather, that's unconditional love and just for her, nothing to do with the people or anyone else. And judging by the preview for 32 (although we might be missing some context) he tells her it's not her fault and that he'll be her spear and guard her which I have some... complicated feelings about because it absolutely was partially her fault and I'm confused that after having her realize how she's messed up this episode in her convo with her cousin they're seemingly backtracking. There's nothing wrong with her being flawed and having made a mistake it makes her a better written character they don't need to act like it's not true.
