I’m so happy to be right about Ming Tan’s dad as well as Jiang Xu and the Emperor’s plans! I loved the scene…
Thank goodness—it didn’t fall into the tired trope of ‘divorce, followed by a rekindled love story, and a last-minute reconciliation’. That narrative arc has been repeated so often, I now find it utterly distasteful.
It’s great that they aren’t overstretching the conflict.
It’s the same for me. I don’t mind a bit of angst, but the problem arises when they take it too far and drag it out unnecessarily—it starts to feel more exhausting than emotional. Thank God this drama didn’t take that lane, as I’m loving it and don’t want it to become distasteful because of this.
Don’t be scared. The drama is angsty right now, and yes they are still “fighting,” but it’s not irreparable.…
I was worried the writers might overdo the drama by making the leads go through an actual divorce, only to reunite them in the later episodes. I really can’t stand that trope.
