i'm only a couple episodes in but i'm enjoying this drama! i'm just worried the story will turn needlessly angsty as the it progresses

wait why did i enjoy this so much more the second time

why is this ost so good omg

i agree with what the other comment recommends, but also want to add: roller coaster (lots of spicy scenes), heart code (for the crime theme), and queendom (enemies-to-lovers with a twist). you can also try chaser game w for more enemies-to-lovers, but imo it's not as good as these other ones

as i rewatch, i can't help but come to my original conclusion: ava should have more screen time and a gl storyline. lmao

another decent GL ruined by a stupid misunderstanding plot line. and lin's assistant is probably one of the most infuriating tv subordinates i've ever seen

idk i think this deserves a higher rating

my dad always says he has three things he hates in fiction stories: dragons, time travel and (drug-induced) dream sequences. i just finished episode 18 and somehow we've hit all three? wtaf is going on in this series omg

yes

there's some with the side couple

happy ending?

smh they had a second chance at this story but fuu's two female friends still aren't dating in this version? missed opportunity imo

wait, what was the crown prince's ending in the web novel?

the one thing i think this drama really failed at was the crown prince's storyline. like the ml is literally raped into having a child and it's just glossed over? and then there's not even a pretense of fatherly affection there at all? like i get the crown prince is the product of rape, but he's still the ml's child. and neither ml, nor our slightly wiser fl, think he should spend some time with his kid? idk i just think the whole storyline and character of the crown prince could've been handled better

why is the ml in like every cdrama always severely poisoned lmao

tbh something about prince duan is so unsettling. like he's definitely one of the creepiest cdrama villians i've seen in a while

rewatching this and tbh i'm still hung up on jin zhao stealing jiang mu's dog and making her think he ran away because she didn't get him neutered fast enough. wtf!!!

tbh, i think what really makes this drama stand out is thee's character. i mean, we've all seen the domineering ceo and rich man/poor person trope played out dozens of time in dramas. except thee is not the composed billionaire we're used to: he's eccentric and absurd in a way that is both entertaining and refreshing

the same actor who plays di lanjue, a sweet, harmless prince in this series, plays a psychotic playboy emperor in the drama fated hearts. and tbh, he does a great job in both roles, especially in fated hearts where the character he's portraying is a lot more complex

thee's contacts are so heinous lol. it's giving gl
