Don’t think too much about the current rating it usually takes a couple of weeks to settle, and I do think some people tried to drag it down early. That said, I personally find something a bit off in the story and in how the main characters are portrayed. weirdly enough, I enjoyed the ML’s older brother more.

A few key scenes that should’ve been impactful just felt awkward instead. The sword dance, for example, came across as cringe rather than powerful, and that emotional coffin scene was completely thrown off by the FL’s sudden arrival and declaration. There are several moments like that scenes that should land, but feel slightly out of rhythm.

It’s difficult to describe….. almost like the whole thing is shifted one inch out of place. You’re watching, and you can’t quite pinpoint what’s wrong, but the timing, tone, and emotional beats just don’t sit right in my opinion. Still watchable, but so far it hasn’t really clicked for me, but it is only ep 12 so anything can happen 😉

When it’s a close friend or family member, they tend to get some kind of redemption it’s practically written into the drama laws at this point. Talking about revenge dramas, redemption arc is nothing if compared to when someone spends 40 episodes plotting their grand revenge, finally gets the murderer who killed their family, ruined their life and destroyed everything right there, ready to finish them, then suddenly decides, ‘You know what? I’m better than you. I’ll let you live.’ Like...what? 😅🤣

I know, but it is a cdrama, they always have a redemption arc around the corner or something to explain the character behaviour when the behaviour is inexcusable 😅

I still haven't watched ep 14, the last time I checked, the subtitles were bad. Anyway, he can't survive, that's for sure (considering the morality, etc in cdramas). So his redemption will probably be realsing he was manipulated (by that unknown person from the character relationship chart) and TLC is innocent. He let his hate and whatever else was going on in him (maybe he was jealous too that TLC was the successor) consume him. He will throw himself in front of TLC to save his life or something like that. I do hope I am wrong and it will not be just a last minute sacrifice, and that he can have a proper, full redemption arc before he dies

No romance for the main character, but he is shippable with anyone. If they decided to do any romance, his pairing could be the rest of the cast 😅 but seriously i dont think there will be any real palpable romance

Liu Yan’s whole crusade is peak self delusion. He sees TLC as a monster, so he sets up traps where regular folks die and then uses those deaths as proof of TLC’s ‘evilness’ (monsterness 🤣) just because he is passing by. Like bro, really? You’re literally creating massacres to prove a point that only exists because you said so 😅 Let me avenge Fang Zhou the man preaching world peace, love, riding unicorns and playing music under cherry blossoms and rainbows by manipulating people and letting innocent population killed, but it’s fine because obviously it’s all TLC’s fault 😅

I'll try my best 😅😆

Me, every time I open MangoTV: maybe this time the subs will make sense… Not! Why can’t I take a hint and just wait for proper subs like a sane person… why WHYYYYY 🥲

Liu Yan is the first one to brainwash himself into believing Tang Li Ci is the monster, because deep down he knows that he became the real one. In his obsessive quest for revenge, he abandoned everything righteous and his followers are just echoing that delusion. He needs TLC to be the monster, because otherwise he’d have to face what he’s turned into. I’m guessing at some point he’ll realise the truth, go through a redemption arc, and end up dying to save TLC, probably in his arms, with some tragic flashback to when they were still happy… ideally with TLC’s music compositi9n playing in the background for maximum heartbreak 😆

I was so busy these past weeks that I didn't have time for anything, but I used the little time left to watch this series, like a crazy person! Even today, I forfeited my social life so I could watch the express 😅 when was the last time we watched a series where the main characters were likeable and not stupid? when? I dont remember 😆

Yes! Can't wait for it to air and hope it doesn't disappoint 😆

I am at episode 3 and having problems with the family, too. Maybe if the show was completely a comedy, I would have no problems with them, but they are just so exaggerated so far when compared with the rest of the characters. Probably they will tone them down eventually, but still, I don't know they feel like characters who came to the wrong filming set 🥲😅

I think it’s because of the contrast you mentioned,Kaoru is juvenile but also genuinely caring, and his unrestrained behaviour is the total opposite of how Manami was raised. She feels drawn to that difference, even if it’s not exactly healthy. At the same time, Kaoru himself is starved for a real emotional connection. He’s never really been cared for his mum always put him down, his teachers ignored the fact he was dyslexic and made him feel unworthy and stupid, all the adults in his life failed him. So when someone finally sees him and cares, it hits him harder than it would most people

he had maybe the most peaceful death. when I go, I hope it’s like him: no regrets. His whole life plan went up in flames, but he didn’t care. He was so zen about it, like, ‘Well, that was fun. Later, losers"

Yeah, I wish that he was at least scared or something😬. He was more like, "Well, that's that, bye." 😅

No, he was even satisfied with himself before he died 😑

Honestly, I feel this is more of a website issue. ratings for shows that are still airing shouldn’t even be allowed. A lot of people go on crusades giving low scores for the pettiest reasons, but by the time a show finishes, they’ve usually already moved on to something else. Ratings should only open once the full show has aired, so at least they’d come mostly from people who actually watched it through or from those who dropped it but felt strongly enough, positive or negative, to come back and rate it

I wish they had just given her a dagger or even a small axe for close combat. It would have looked so much smoother and made sense, because if you’re an archer you need a secondary weapon.you can’t realistically use a bow and arrow at close range there’s no space or momentum for a proper shot. Maybe the writers thought it looked cool on camera, but it really doesn’t. Same with her using arrows as daggers like, no. Why not give her actual knives? Imagine how cinematic (and accurate) it would look if she fought with short blades alongside her bow. That would have been genuinely badass 😬

yes, he did but his persona still comes across as very childlike, even outside his interactions with her in these early episodes. I suppose it’s necessary for the plot since his original self is the complete opposite,this way, he can gradually learn how to care for others from this more vulnerable state. i confess the tone of voice he uses really reminds me of when FLs in dramas do that baby-talk voice only this time it’s the male version 😅🤣. Still, I’m enjoying it so far! After so many dramas that misled me with their trailers and ended up being nothing like what was promised, this one actually delivers exactly what the promos suggested. so i am happy so far

I’m on episode 5, and I can’t help but notice that his amnesiac adult self feels more childish than his actual child version. To stay immersed, I tell myself it’s because he’s lost access to his superpower on daily basis 😅
