Maybe just wait a few more episodes to drop. that way you can binge it and power through the parts that are currently…
If I were working, I wouldāve spared myself... but since Iām free, I decided to fully commit to self-inflicted suffering š I live in delululu land, waking up every day thinking 'todayās the day everything changes in the drama' and yet, no. But this time itās different,this time weāre at the turning point. For real. I swear. (Is she delusional or finally right? Tune in tomorrow to find out ššš)"
Itās fine. Once the drama finishes airing, the rating will go up to something more normal, unless they drop a completely horrible ending, of course. But honestly, itās always like this with ongoing shows. I havenāt watched the last two episodes yet, but I heard the drop is mostly because people got frustrated with the constant delaying of their relationship
I think Jiang chang yang might just be my favorite ML EVER? Like seriously, he is a dream partner. Chill, funny…
and he always has that smile on his face, the one that reaches his eyes and somehow finds its way straight to your heart. You canāt help but smile back š
Itās understandable to be tired, theyāre clearly in love, so let them at least have a moment of emotional honesty. If theyāre not going to be fully together yet (fine, danger, politics, Prince Ning, different class, take your pick), at least let them confess how they feel. Like, a single moment of āI love you butā¦ā would do wonders for our sanity at this point even breadcrumbs are ok š š¤£š š
Donāt worry, you can binge all the way up to the latest episode without losing your mind yes, thereās drama…
Thank you š š I feel in general itās just human nature to pick sides, itās easier, and often we gravitate toward the character whose sense of morality aligns more closely with our own. But honestly, if characters are written well (villains included)we should be able to step into their mindset and understand how they think, even when we donāt agree with what they do. Even people who commit awful things donāt usually believe theyāre evil. They rationalise, justify, or genuinely believe theyāre right. And thatās the fascinating part of character exploration, understanding doesnāt equal excusing the same goes for the characters we love, just because we understand their trauma or choices doesnāt mean we should excuse the harm they cause and the butterfly effect they create with their actions. ps. I really need enemies to allies tomorrow, like I'm gonna 𤯠š„
lmao it ain't a cdrama if the FL doesn't stab the ML at least ONCE
In her defense, the show treated her multiple murder attempts like a sitcom gag. Like, āHaha, he almost killed her again, cue the laugh track!ā Meanwhile, he gets full Oscar-bait misery with sad Liu Yuning eyes, tragic soundtrack (sang by Liu Yuning), and dramatic slowmo zoomins of Liu Yuning sad face. Of course we all (myself included) sympathise more with Tragic Suffering ML. Meanwhile, sheās out here getting nearly burned alive by the majority of audience to the sound of clown music šš š¤£
OK, fellow comment section members this is a lesson and how to watch episodes with this much misunderstanding,…
When I get stuck in too much angst, I try to pause watching and just stack up episodes until I know the torture arc is over, so I can binge it all in one emotional burst with a guaranteed resolution. š I do fast-forward in dramas Iām not super attached to, especially during those "let me suffer for 10 episodes straight" segments. But when itās a show I actually love? Skipping feels like Iām losing the magic. I mean, I could fastforward if I promise myself Iāll go back and rewatch properly later⦠but letās be honest, that almost never happens. That said Iāve definitely done exactly what you described during certain dramas, because I was going through some real life suffering and didnāt need the TV adding ulcer level emotional trauma on top of it. ššSelf-preservation comes first
Donāt worry, you can binge all the way up to the latest episode without losing your mind yes, thereās drama…
ps. I just want her to be the one to go to him from now on. I feel he did enough, and he needs to stop running after her. It is her turn; I believe in equal rights
Donāt worry, you can binge all the way up to the latest episode without losing your mind yes, thereās drama…
I already have ulcers so they canāt hurt me anymore. Iām invincible at this point š¤ Honestly, from my point of view, they both did wrong, he did try to kill her multiple times. And Iām not talking about the version of him in the āoriginal evil ML scriptā I mean this very man right here, in this version. But on the other side? She matched those attempted murders with her own brand of torture, emotional homicide. She didnāt stab him (actually she did once and plotted to kill him too) she just ripped his soul out and stepped on it over and over again. So yeah, in my personal ledger, theyāre on equal footing at this point. And now Iām just begging the drama gods can we please be done with this part of the loop? Letās move on. Enemies to allies arc when? I hope from tomorrow
at this point itās not about truth, not about justice, definitely not about the woman he allegedly loves. Itās…
I swear at this point I could start writing those fanfics myself; the titles are already forming in my head š Fifty Shades of Hate (starring Nan Heng) or If Thinking About NH is a Crime I Would Be On A Death Row: a General Chu Story
Chu Gui Hong⦠my boy⦠AGAIN with your baby face š itās so hard to take you seriously.Stop plotting shitty…
at this point itās not about truth, not about justice, definitely not about the woman he allegedly loves. Itās Nan Heng. Itās always been Nan Heng. Since age nine, this man has been living a one-sided epic love hate saga where every diary entry just reads: "Dear Nan Heng, I hate you so much I want to destroy you." His hopes? Nan Heng. His dreams? Nan Heng. His twisted revenge plot with layers of emotional damage? Still Nan Heng. Everyone else is just background noise in his life šš¤£
lmao it ain't a cdrama if the FL doesn't stab the ML at least ONCE
š¤£š¤£ Oh absolutely! At this point, theyāre so even. He tried to commit actual homicide (by trying to murder her over and over again), and sheās been emotionally waterboarding him for 24 episodes straight (plus stabbing). call it karmic balance, itās time to shake hands, kiss (maybe), and finally move on šš š
This FL character is really so so fixated in her view and perspectiveā¦not smart at all.
He didn't turn like that in the original script because of the FL; she was sweet, innocent, and nice. He is different here because the script was edited, and the FL, as well, is a different person/personality. I can't see him ever cross the line to be a full villain like he was in the original script just because he is tormented by everyone, he has quite a strong personality to still stand there with all this abuse
Im still in the middle of ep18. Everyone's biased against NH. From the FL to the effing emperor.It's almost like…
Just push through it, at least his masked gang of misfits are always ride-or-die, so heās not completely alone. Weāve officially reached the peak of his Suffering Era⦠starting tomorrow, itās uphill
every characters personality changed from the original script but NH personality not in the FL perspective? it's…
NH did change; he isn't the person FL is accusing him of being. Remember, the manager of the actor asked for script changes, so when the actress FL got into the story, she is in the new script, and she is changing it by being part of it too, even if the main plot points are still there, but many other things are changing around the main plot points
