Not unique at all. Wuxia has been a genre that goes all the way back to Ming dynasty.

hopeless

I don't think no one is taking it out on her directly haha? It's more along the lines of: if you question the person these fans are obsessed with you get the most toxic behavior possible, and for a bonus a personal attack. And this is what most of the people are sick of. Just look at this thread. And I still stand by what I wrote. Most idols are not very good. Granted what's good can be quite objective. But if you take them and put them next to a good seasoned actors/actresses even a blind person can see the difference. Now I quite like Bae Suzi. And she's also very pretty. But objectively still her "acting" is very limited. And she has had quite a few roles under her belt.

Can't win an argument? Easy, just attack the other person personally. Ofc that's the most intelligent thing you can do. For somebody accusing other people of having little brain you sure as hell display the dumbest behavior of them all. It's funny how someone can be delusional and praise something but soon as someone of different opinion questions that thing objectively, he gets attacked PERSONALLY and labeled as spreading hate. The lack of self-awareness and the amount of mental gymnastics is just off the charts with you.

You're not the only one! This probably has to be one of the most annoying and stupid FL I've seen in recent years. But to be honest the rest of the show is pretty go so if you just skip her scenes you will miss absolutely nothing in terms of the plot. Just pretend you never saw her.

Apparently that's exactly what it is in the novel. He has a harem lol

It's completely ridiculous. How exactly did he saw intelligent, kind, etc in her? If noting else he saw complete opposite when she was about to torture him and was yelling at him. For someone so smart that manages to navigate other intricate characters, guessing their MOs and coming up with elaborate plots this is beyond ridiculous.

Not questioning her character at all. And the reason why she's probably getting so much hate is because of all the deranged black pink fans all of a sudden shipping them as best actors in the world.

What defines real actors is training, not waking up one day and because you're famous all of a sudden you're an actor. Yes I do agree that there are still trained actors who aren't that good.

Haha indeed I started doing exactly that but sometimes it's really frustrating when you wanna watch a good show as far as the premise goes with a good actor that you like and they pair him up or her with an idol

I wish they would start casting real actors not these stiff idols.

Really good point! I had the exact came thoughts. But I think in the second part it's down to the bad writing. of the Grand Princesses character, as well as the strong need for plot armor. Yeah she's preoccupied with political games but they made her into this emotional constipated stooge. She just hands over XQA to LinAn - one of the most irrational decisions is when she was just about to recommend XQA for the lead investigator and LinAn interrupts her, and not only she lets her but she also tells her that he's in jail so she can save him - very convenient as the whole premise of why XQA forgives LinAn is because "she save his life" - (facepalm). I mean how much more plot armor do you need??!?!! But plot armor aside, it should be exactly because she's so politically savvy she should keep XQA on leash for political reasons if she doesn't have any feelings towards him. And later when she offers him the badge to work for her - which shows this exact intent - the decisions before don't make sense any sense. I think this drama would ultimately be better without any romance.

Absolutely! Especially in the beginning. Anything better than Lin An. Despicable character.

I agree with you 100%. This would have been so much better without the ML FL romance or a different FL! OMG Dylan Wang is in Ever Night 2?! I never bothered because they changed the cast but after seeing this show I might go and watch it now! Thank you for pointing it out!

No it's not just you. First 18 eps she is one of the worst FL leads (like you said with all the worst character traits a woman can have) I have ever seen in the drama. And the way they brushed off the fact that she was lying is just despicable. And by the time it gets to the "big" part where everyone is saying that she starts to "change" (btw they in no way redeem her for her past actions, they just do a bait and switch, they come up with some quazi emotional sub plot that is supposed to make you feel sorry for her - typical cheap emotional manipulation) it was already too late for me. I downright skipped all of her scenes and didn't miss a thing. She has absolute 0 importance to the plot. At least that.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! At least someone with an ounce of brain. I haven’t read the novel and yet you kinda cleared all those suspicions I had and couldn’t quite pin down. There was were so manny things that felt off, and sooo much (unnecessary) stupidity - mainly Lin An. OMG prob. top 2 most unlikable FL leads in the history of C-dramas. And they were trying so hard to make us like her. And turning characters into complete morons for the sake of cheap laughs and emotional extortion is just appalling. I completely skipped all of her scenes and didn’t miss a thing. As a matter of fact I was better off because of it. Same goes for the other Xu like you said. At one point all this playing dumb just really became annoying. And they spent sooo much time on it, and the important stuff was just skipped. And now you’re saying there’s even more in the novels? I really like this show but all these 10/10 are delusional.

I do have to say I did mostly skip her scenes so might have missed something. But I was expecting nothing less than her, on her own, initiating the appology. Now that would be a worthy redeeming arc :) But hey maybe that’s just me. Also she’s not even in that much beyond ep21 so all good.

Just watched ep21 and still skipping her scenes. Her big moment that you mentioned was more of a mosquito fart. They didn’t redeem her at all. They just swept the whole thing under the rug and used yet another plot armor to solve the thing. They built the whole premise of why he forgives her is because she ‘saved his life’. And the only reason this happend is because she magically appeard just when Grand princess was going to suggest him to solve the case. And for some unexplicable reason (read plot armor) Grand princess doesn’t go through with it and even later tells her that he’s in jail. This whole thing is like watching a montage of lotto winners for the last 5 years. And tell me who finds that interesting.

Haha I understand that, but this so called ‘romance’ is so forced it’s laughable.

She is the most god awful thing in this series. What would otherwise be a near perfect series rivaling the Joy of Life turns into stupidity fest of cringe worthy proportions.
