It is normal for the 2nd couple to be more entertaining. By nature, they are savages. Meanwhile the first couple…
Yes Main Couple is in push and pull phase. It woud be time they really get together. Because to be honest, ML circling FL is cute but I would like to see them together. And see how FL dodges Na Zhan advances meanwhile obtaining the millitary power to avenge her mother's death.
Do you really think that this SML bandit is more sexy than ML? I don't think so, he is just bolder than ML.
There is even more violence toward women in the old asian dramas. I like to watch "old" k-dramas around 2010. and I noticed that FLs are often forced kissed at minimum. I imagine that maybe, at the time, force kissing a woman was supposed to be romantic. In the 80's and before it was, if you pay attention to movies. Great example : the guy always puts that poor girl in his bed to have se* with her or he force kisses her: https://kisskh.at/737601-maid-s-revenge Other example 1957 : ML meets FL on a train journey and FL's skirt get sturk in the doors of the train. So basically, first look, first humiliation for FL. https://kisskh.at/72885-birth-of-romance
So no. It is like reading old "harlequin" novels. The ML takes what he wants and the FL has to go with the flow, and stand everything.
The solution would be to pick only strong/badass FLs. They would have less chances to be raped or bullied because they would retaliate.

There were no rape because FL escaped so SML could not force her. But as I see it, SML is back and decided to kidnap FL and force himself onto her. So basicaly raping her again with or without poison.
I also dislike violence toward women. Yes, in love and nirvana Jiang Ci suffered a lot repetitively. I watched till the end. It was a beatiful story be hard to stand the violence. I side-eyed a lot of scenes.

You have some fair points. I am wondering what misunderstanding ML is creating. I found the hide and seek cute but now it is time to speak to FL and really make a move. On the other hand, SML is decisive and he knows what he wants. Even if it is raping FL. As for Na Zhan , yes you are right, the bed scene with the 2nd princess was very sexy.
So if a take all this in acount, the less decisive and proactive is ML. ML will have to step up his game, because this doesn't cut it for me. He is very hansome, he should make a move asap.
Lmao what was that dance scene in ep 5? Beside the color changing fire thing which might’ve been cool but cringed…
I totally agree with you. I would have loved to see FL offering a great performance to the king. Unlike the plot, her arms waving filmed in close-up are nothing more than average. Sorry to her die-hard fans. The director wronged her.
Thank you! I had the exact same thought further down in the thread: https://kisskh.at/749787-love-in-the-desert#comment-18994094And…
No THANK YOU!! This performance as it was filmed was not as impressive as it should have been when I listen to the dialogue and the way the plot is evolving. Cute arms move don't cut it for me.
I totally agree with you. The dancing should be amazing regardless of personal tastes. It should be a great performance. But shooting her in clost-up makes her seem very average. If like people say, she is that good, why her agency did not advocate for her, so that she can showcase her academic skills. Watching this close-up, she looked just like an amateur. Too bad if she is talented. They wronged her.
I love Madhuri dixit she is just amazing. I liked her in the romeo and juliet type movie : "Aaja Nachle" I would have liked to come and dance with her too (^_^)
I'm not lost, just bored. She seems passionate about a lot of thing other than him.
Yes indeed. She has her revenge to seek and the palace ploys to fight. But it seems that she is not sure about her feelings for him. Being hot and cold is certainly not a seduction method.
Just to warn you that this drama started foreshadowing sad ending too so now we be worried 😫 You will see at…
No at all, you are welcome to intervene. I totally agree with you. I enjoyed the secret romance so much at the beginning. The secret messages, codes ... But after every antagonists left the story, I don't feel the need to keep watching the lasts episodes. Yes, you are right it is straight boring. I watched the show as it aired and I am still reluctant to drop it so I will probably finish watching it very very slowly.
I don't know why the endings are most of the time disapointing in c-dramas. I can't blame the censorphip because it is not about sex this time. The main problem is that, they made all the antagonists leave too soon. That killed my buzz. They did a big disservice to the show. This is a pity because the show was funny and sassy at the beginning.
You have some fair points. Indeed, the chemistry comes from poisoning. So yes, we can wonder if FL likes ML or if her behaviour is coerced by the drug she took, would that make the chemistry forced ? Logically yes.
As for, the fact that sexual tension can come from angsting situations. Sorry to contradict you but yes it can. The "shaking bridge effect" is psychological effect that can fake attractivness. Because a dangerous situation can make people mistake their own physiological sensations for love. So, being pursued by bandits can arouse them and lead them to desire each other.
I personnaly like that FL could resist the temptation. It shows a difference between the two Female Leads. One is cold and can control herself when the other is "naughty and wild" as Sha Qu [Qing Yun's personal bodyguard] said.
Like you I would have also liked a slowburn romance plot leading to emphasize the sexual tension. But the writers prefered to use the " shaking bridge effect". This is a rare approach to romance. I am curious to see how it will develop.
I don't know why the heroine is hot and cold with the hero. They are supposed to be at least allies because they share secrets. I don't know why she behaves like that. At some point of time I thought she wanted to make him jealous. But I am not sure because it seems that she wants to end the relationship. I am lost.
