see my comment about this parallele you'll understand what i'm trynna say.

If you want to compare, do it correctly. The 'good' one didn't show that she was a victim of being beaten by her husband. Her son cared about her situation. Moreover, her husband acted just for fun or I don't know, but not when she didn't give him what he wanted.

The 'bad' one revealed to her entire family that she was suffering. Her son didn't care about her. Her husband punished her when she didn't give him what he wanted—whether it was money or even the servant. That's why she constantly asked her family for things. But this wasn't for her; it was all for her husband. She was scared of being beaten, so she became obsessed with satisfying his wishes. Eventually, she started to lose her sanity, and that's how her desperation grew. With fear, a human can do all the worst awful things.
The ‘bad’ one was extremely angry with her entire family; she believed it was their fault. She didn’t want this marriage, and when they didn’t give her what she asked for, they also failed to help her. As a result, she suffered physical abuse.

The "good" one didn't hold a grudge against her family and just accepted the situation.

Tbh i don't really like this parallel, it's like de "good" one is showed as a weak person who accept the situation. And the "bad" one as an angry person who didn't accept the situation but try to survive in satisfying her husband whises .
The ‘bad’ one demonstrated the extreme path to experiencing abuse;
-Mental illness
-Submission to her husband
-Distress

She committed some terrible acts, but it’s important to remember that she was under duress. That’s why the law provides protection for people in such situations. When you’re in survival mode, your mental stability can be compromised and you don't really realise what you are doing.

For you, is beating considered a minor offense?
She clearly demonstrated that she had been physically abused by her husband from day one. (my bad someone corrected me and this wasn't her situation, she wanted this marriage despite her grandma advices) . Despite her many wrongdoings, her mental health was severely compromised; she lived in fear of being beaten and acted out of that fear. Over time, it seems she became mentally unstable, especially since no one was there to support her, not even her son. Yes, her mother tragically died because of her, but she felt abandoned by her family, believing she might also meet the same fate in front of everyone eyes. If her mother died, it also because she felt guilty about this situation.
The daughter is clearly a victim, she screamed and showed that she was being beaten and nobody cared.
It’s heartbreaking that nobody even seemed to care about her suicide. 🙁

yes ofc but maybe she wasn't like this before ?? i think that she was just angry at her family to let her suffer with an husband like this. She always showed her scars and seemed to demand help. maybe i'm getting to emotive with her character idk.

Am I the only one who feel bad about the grandmother's daughter?? she's abused by her husband. She is alone with her grievance, nobody tried to save her and now her mother is dead then she took all the blame?? Nobody is blaming or attacking her husband, poor girl, it's like nobody cared about her at all.

any informations about the release date ???

I've totally got what you mean and i totally agree ! the 2 ML had to die sooner tbh

Oh, so this is it! I wasn’t aware of that. Now that you say it, I totally agree! I thought that Li Ni was portrayed as a hero, which is why 2ML was always nearby. But now that you’ve explained it, I understand it better. Thank you!

Similarly, I was searching for Liu Yuning’s song “If Love Remembers” and couldn’t find it on Deezer. Then, I checked Spotify, but unfortunately, it wasn’t available there either 😭. So, whenever I want to listen to that song, I just go to YouTube 😞
On a positive note, let’s appreciate the good side of the UK : the english subtitles. I'm from france and i swear i wasn't into english before but i had to force myself to learn it because the translation of some dramas or webtoons wasn't avalaible in french.😩
Sometimes they are, but usually after the English versions, and I’m not that patient.
I believe that one day the wonderland ost will be avalaible on spotify or any streaming platform !! lets keep hoping for that✊

I think that her acting is one of the best in china industry tbh and i don't understand why she's not more famous !! i hope that thanks to her new projects she'll gain more recognition.
btw i'm trying to find "Glory of Tang Dynasty" with english subtitles too, if you find anything let me know !

No worries, Happy to help you !!😊👌

Watching her dramas since Fight For My Way (and even in descendant of the sun). She finally has her time to shine with Queen of Tears!!!! She's an amazing actress !!! Waiting to see her in more projects.

Yes ! this is a concept that we can see a lot in manhua manhwa or webtoons ;
A contract marriage is when 2 ppl marry each other during a predefined time for something.
Exemple with a plot (to show you the difference):
Male lead needs to be married to inherit grandfather's company or for the grandfather's last wish (ex :wants to see his grandson being married). And a female lead needs money to pay her mother hospitalisation . They'll meet each other idk how but they will🤣(or they already know each other and ml knows fl situation) . After he'll propose to pay her mother hospitalisation and all her stuff ( medicaments etc..) but she has to marry him during 1 year or 6 month ( = contract of the marriage).
So there are 2 case :
1. They start hating each other but after starting living together, feelings come up.
2. They live almost 1 year together but they doesn't like the idea to being separated and realise that they already felt for each other.

Whereas conventional marriage is most of time when they loved each other and during the marriage they got some issues (so the plot is totally different).

yes she's the best korean actress i've ever seen 👍

Happy birthday to our favorite korean actress and the best one !!!! 🥳🥳🥳 waiting for you girlll

pouhahha 😂a yes I am 😎

We don't see the same things so, jing tian acting was very good to me. Xu kai role was not that complex but he ate.
A Ying is a very good character but if you don't understand her she can seems like a nuisance.
I respect your opinion, i wish that youll find a drama that corresponds your expectations.

Agreed !!!! You explained that perfectly ; even in some bts we can see that Jing Tian was hurt by the sword (for exemple : bts of the wedding night).

I didn't said that to disrespect Xu Kai work at all !! xD its just that i think it's normal to put him ahead to increased his popularity etc.. His character is the perfect one, many fangirls will come to him after seeing this drama. I don't know how to explain that, it's hard 😞

Actually fl lead is good at acting, its just her character who's like this. She already made so many movies where she's totally able to fight so i don't think its the actual issue.
I think this show was made for xu kai career, to put him ahead (idk if u see what i mean).
I watched this show many times and after understand better fl lead character, i think that she portrayed this role very well.
A Ying is young and very carefull towards the male lead but many moves or acts that she did was details and not showed like Li Ni ones. He is actually THE "perfect" male lead so it's normal to think that this is due to his acting only but not (bc his character is made to be likable). A Ying character is very complex maybe you should rewatch this to see that (if u want to and if u have the time for (i see that you have a big "plan to watch "list)).
Xu Kai ate this role, i agree with you ,but this was the goal, he's a young actor who's going to be in his prime, Jing Tian was here as a mentor and good partner. They had a good chemistry btw and even more off screen ( don't forget that 10 eps had been deleted so we don't see all we had to).
