court

i watched about half of the episodes before stopping, the movie version takes out the stuff about the second couple but contains all the important parts about the main couple & the plot. hope that helps :)

mango tv cut the episodes and put it together to make a 'movie' version! here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eU54MLPYiE

excited to see janice again! hopefully theres equal amounts of story, career development and romance

i almost dropped the drama bc it was getting draggy but then they released a movie version which was way more convenient & i ended up finishing it :) i’m glad everything was resolved in the end and xiao bao was def my fav character hehe

i've never watched a drama in this time period so i'm excited to see the sets and outfits!

i’m enjoying this drama so far, i really hope it doesn’t drag out, have any stupid misunderstandings, or is constantly revolved around her life with his family. i was hoping that the sml and ml would be bros but the sml is not reasonable at all. i love how protective her cousin is with her & am happy she didn’t end up being w the emperor. i’m wondering if the emperor’s mother will come into play again later or if the plot will revolve around them vs the other country. i also really like how most of the elders are old faces from other dramas i’ve watched.

ugh i totally agree, i hate when FLs have to go through so much after moving into the husband’s family. i hope she doesn’t have to deal with his cousin and mother in law for long & gets along w his sister well

thank you for letting me know! i’ll give the drama a try :)

some cdramas i’ve watched recently would try to put as many kiss scenes as possible right after the couple gets together and i didn’t notice it until i saw the progression of the couple in you are my hero. some kiss scenes would be appropriate timing and some i felt were unnecessary

thank you for replying! i really hope the ex trope doesn’t last that long lol

no problem at all! i think it’s a great idea to try to make more people aware of these things even if they’re “just a drama”

really enjoyed your article! possessiveness and exaggerated tropes are what make me drop a lot of dramas, i haven’t watched some of the dramas you pointed out bc of this. you pointed out some interesting things about the dramas i have watched, especially you are my hero. the audience probably sees the “watch from afar” kind of thing as sweet but as you said it can also be seen as light stalking.

other than that part about the drama, i think everything else about all of the couples relationships were so real and non toxic that other writers should take notes about how you can make a drama enjoyable without constant skinship & conflict.

thanks for a good read <3

i’m debating watching this since i can’t get over FITYS but i watched the trailer and saw that there’s the ex trope, how long does that last and is it super annoying?

loved loved this drama, i really liked the character development, how the drama still focused on their careers after they got together, & how their relationship felt natural and was very non toxic. they talked things out, joked around with each other, encouraged each other, etc. sometimes dramas will focus on all kissing & bed scenes after the main couple got together, but it felt really refreshing to see something different and still be satisfied. the other couples were also very nice to watch even if it took them a little time to get together.

trying to find a reason not to drop the drama :/ i really liked the beginning but now it feels boring, i wanted to enjoy this since i really like the actress but it’s so draggy and i hate when secrets take forever to come to the surface. best part about the drama is xiao bao, i feel like the leads would be cute too but it’s taking forever for them to get together & once they do i feel like it’ll be lots of misunderstandings or conflict.

I also put it on hold for now because I sensed that a stupid long love triangle was going to happen. I was initially really excited for the drama because I saw the bts before release of her and yan yan & thought it would be a fun cute story about the first female in the imperial college and the good friends she made & them going through obstacles together.

really enjoyed this series because there was no unnecessary conflict or dragged out conflict like other bl’s have, they were able to fit all the important information and emotions into only 6 eps each season, we didn’t have to see the couple have sex to prove their attraction to each other, the parents were reasonable & actually cared about their son’s feelings, and best of all - the acting skills from everyone was spot on. you can’t help but fall for the main couple bc of their chemistry, you start to smile when they’re smiling & you’re crying when they’re hurt. lastly, i loved how the drama didn’t want to make it obvious who was the more ‘masculine’ one of the two and just focused on two people who were in love with each other.

you should! it gives sort of an explanation behind their story :)

did you watch their snippet in ep 15? and the special :)

btw does anyone know what the text message on the phone said when kaeng was doing work at the table?
