first episode was solid.. the lead male was weak IMO.. max or pond should have been the lead in this.
Yeah… I’m a fan of his yet even I think that the other two second male leads shine brighter than him after watching only two episodes… He’s a good actor but he can be a bit lacking in terms of charisma sometimes
I’m glad because they did give Anon more depth than in the original (like his trauma with his mom and his desire to make his dad proud to then see his mom) and also to give him sweet scenes with Anda (like how they bound over their body scars)
Jiang Xue Ning, a Mary Sue ? 😂😂😂😂We must not have the same definition for Mary Sue…But apart from…
Here’s the definition that I found of a Mary Sue : a type of female character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses. Nothing to do with the fact of being loved by everyone So JXN is definitely not a Mary Sue !
In the novel, she doesn’t turn evilBut she kinda has a pitiful fate. If I recall correctly, she becomes the…
Well, it’s not because of Shen Jie, it’s for some political reason (i’m actually not entirely certain it’s Shen Jie) JXN gives her a bracelet that her (JXH) birth mom hoped to offer her for her wedding and she basically conveys her a few words from her mom JXH is first shocked but eventually throws the bracelet on the ground, breaking it into pieces. Let’s just say she doesn’t feel much love for this selfish birth mom that she never knew and who did so much evil (plotted against the wife, gave up on her daughter, ruined the main wife’s daughter, etc) so even after her death, she refuses to acknowledge her and grant her request (understandable) JXN says nothing (after all, all she had to do was give the bracelet, nothing else) and I think that’s the last time they see each other
People must stop comparing Scent of Time to Kunning Palace because it is not similar at all, I saw another post…
Jiang Xue Ning, a Mary Sue ? 😂😂😂😂 We must not have the same definition for Mary Sue… But apart from that, yeah, I agree, both works are different, especially the novels (SOT is very different from the original novel : the female lead doesn’t go through rebirth but transmigrated as the villain character in a novel. So it’s really not her fault if her character did bad)
I really like Jiang xuening’s sister Jiang xuehui! I’m really hoping she doesn’t turn evil or anything!I…
In the novel, she doesn’t turn evil But she kinda has a pitiful fate. If I recall correctly, she becomes the crown prince’s concubine I remember that their mom unfairly blames this on the female lead, saying that her bad reputation somehow impacted her sister’s (and Xie Wei kinda puts her back in her place by pointing out how biased and unreasonable she is)
Se Hyeok and his family get on my last nerves!! Why do they want to use Yi Joo so damn badly? Everyone knows Se…
Well, I think it’s because they want to take advantage of the Han family’s wealth anyway and Yi Joo is the easiest and only way for them. Yes, they know that the one he loves is her sister but let’s be realistic : from the beginning, Yoo Ra was clearly out of his league and they knew it. Let’s not mention that she clearly doesn’t even see him as an equal or a potential partner, even if she had somehow been into him, her parents would never have settled for a driver’s son who can only be a minion for the rich and powerful. They were okay with him being with Yi Joo because they saw Yi Joo as an inferior and thought she could only settle for this much but Yoo Ra is another story. And his mother and sister knew all of that. If they thought he could get Yoo Ra, who has a better standing in her family, then they probably wouldn’t care. But just like Yi Joo’s family considered her ex to be her best shot, her ex’s family considered Yi Joo to be his. Both families clearly thought their respective kid didn’t have the ability to find someone better. And well, in the ex’s case, they’re right

Kinda hope it’s true ‘cause I’m a huge fan of his (nothing against Lin Geng Xin)
