Hoping they will come back to their senses in the next episodes, as I really want to enjoy this arc.

Anything would have been better than what they did. The whole backstory of him saving the guy in the past and them meeting by chance, only for the guy to recognise him (as well how dod he even recognise him)... Why was all that necessary? WZ could have just saved him from the soldiers near the bridge in the present and introduced the character that way, becoming his benefactor right then and there 🤷🏼‍♀️ all this complications to write something full of holes and no logical sense, just why???? 🥲

I suppose they wanted to show us (and WZ) how resourceful she is without resorting to violence, but they couldn't think of anything that made more sense. 😅 For me, it was the arrow scene after they crossed the bridge... like... why? I watched it few times and still cant figure out why that scene happened

Did anyone else get confused by the bridge scene when they crossed and met the young guy?

It felt so choppy and didn’t make much sense. Same with the soldiers and the trap involving the young guy… Was that supposed to show how he’s trying to protect his people? Because with the way he was acting, I’m wondering how he even survived before meeting the leads 🤔

I still need to finish it. I have put it on hold 😅 it is just too silly for something that is not really comedy. But I guess in general they tone down novels for the show version because that way they can reach a wider audience and make more money

Someone said PY is dumbed down to make the ML shine, but honestly, none of the characters are made to be too clever. They all make occasional stupid mistakes to simplify the plot and keep it moving. At times, their decisions feel out of character, but at least it's not something they do to just one character, so it’s fine. Until the overall plot makes sense, we can survive with some weird decisions characters make. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because the show is toned down, and they don’t want it to be too complicate, because they think the audience isn’t clever enough to follow the story, they are offending all of us 🤣🤣🤣

It depends on what you mean by feelings. They do seem attracted to each other in one way or another. Affection and love are not really there at that point. It is like some kind of beginning of something.

Because she's the type of person who can't just stand by when something is wrong; she always wants to help and feels the need to support others

Sssshhh, don't say it out loud! There are still so many episodes left; they could still do something stupid 😅. A lot of people seem to complain that PY in the drama isn’t clever enough, but let’s be real, everyone was toned down, even the male lead. He used the same arrows as when he was an assassin, without even retrieving them. So, I think it's all good. They all share clever and stupid moments

I mean, some novels had a happy ending, and they managed to change them to open-ended or bittersweet endings, so anything is possible at this point. Unfortunately, they just prefer anything other than a happy ending or a properly wrapped-up ending that makes sense 😅😅😅 so one day of they change a SE to a HE i think it will be truely a miracle 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a viewer, you can see his attraction to her growing, and he himself is baffled by it but still doesn't fully understand it. As of episode 20, he still doesn't have real feelings for her, or at least not enough for himself to realise it or for us to say that he is in love. He is on his way, but not there yet. As for her, she weirdly doesn't have any hard feelings for him, even though he tried to kill her and hurt her multiple times. She is able to compartmentalise that between the him she didn't know and who was her enemy and him after they started to be friendly (and understood his point of view and motives). I'm not sure if any human is able to be that rational, but if she is, I'm okay with that 😉 I just enjoy slow burns 🤣

I came here just to write the same thing after watching the last episode 🤣 It was really unnecessary to make him fall for her. He would have been such an interesting character without any strings attached. This need writers have for multiple men to be in love with the FL is so annoying. I didn't read the novel either, but from all the spoilers, I feel he would have benefited from not being in love with her even in the novel (as they say he was in love with her in the novel. In the drama, I see no love, just obsession). Although the drama is promoted as a love triangle, luckily it is not because PY is like that third wheel just put there for drama and definitely doesn't help his character development to be a plot device. Love triangles, quadrangles, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, and all other geometric shapes are something I REALLY hate 😅

He is a visionary fpr his time who embraces gender equality 😅🤣😂

If they do, I just hope they kill him off and put him out of his misery 😅

Yes he was interesting until he started obsessing over her and than he just gives this ick vibe

The worst thing is that the second male lead is not giving up on her, probably not until episode 40. I have little hope that they will make him more rational toward her. I guess this is what we get when one of the tags is a love triangle... but let's face it, there is no triangle here because she does not care for him in that way; it is just him obsessing.

She escapes toward the second half of episode 18.

It’s not just about revenge, his people are still being enslaved, forced into prostitution, killed, and treated like animals. His subordinates aren’t brainless followers; they support his cause because they want to be free and seek justice for everyone who’s been killed or imprisoned. He didn’t sacrifice them, their plans simply failed. Whether the plan was brilliant or not is another story. I think the show struggles to capture the duality of his character: how he can be ruthless in pursuing his mission but still deeply care about the suffering of lower class people. They tend to only show one side or the other.

The same issue exists with the 2ML. He’s supposed to be a manipulative strategist who believes he can 'own' the FL because he genuinely thinks it’s what’s best for both of them (and he is the typical man of that period when women were considered property.). But instead, he just comes across as a full-blown creep with obsessive behaviour.

The thing with her master really gets on my nerves because FL is a very rightous and reckless person and why she didnt teach her to fight is beyond me. The master was escaping from danger, and she knew that the mountain was a temporary place and that they would have been discovered at some point. But no, let's keep you in the dark and completely unable to fight to protect yourself. At least she is knowledgeable with other things 😅
