Hum… he’s someone extremely cold. Like he devoted all of his life to revenge and calculation. He’s not cruel…
Oh he definitely is ! 😆 But his jealousy never leads him to hurt the female lead or to pick a fight with her ! Rather, it leads him to realize how important she is to him However, it can lead him to go after his rivals 😅 (there are 2 scenes in perticular : one where he almost kills Zhang Zhe because JXN used herself to protect him because he was pointing an arrow at him and this turned him so angry ; a second is at the end, when… let’s just say he even took it on an innocent kid who praised Zhang Zhe 😂😂😂 lol, so immature)
Out of pure curiosity : what made you unsatisfied ?I also feel somehow unsatisfied but I can’t put on my finger…
Hmm, that’s a classic trope to punish the nang Rai in that dramas Having her raped. I’m not a fan of it either (most of the time) because I can’t help but feel like this strengthens rape culture and gives the impression that rape can sometimes be justified and that it’s okay to use it as a way to punish someone. Moreover, once again, the female character once again mainly evolves through sexuality (and jeez, we’re more than just a vagina !) And I don’t see why when the female lead gets raped by a male lead who wants to punish her, we should pity her and blame the male lead and be like « you went too far ! Now you must make up to her ! » but when it’s a villainess, we should be like « serves her right ! the rapist did a right thing ! ». Why should there be double standards for the same disgusting action ? Moreover, if we agree with rape being used to punish a villain, that kinda means we’re willing to tolerate the rapist and what he does. And I don’t see any way to feel like a rapist did the right thing And finally : it’s getting really old, predictable and overused. So it would be about time they find some other punishment for the nang Rai. Sorry for the long thesis😅
Hum… he’s someone extremely cold. Like he devoted all of his life to revenge and calculation. He’s not cruel as he won’t take pleasure in someone else’s sufferings, and he may even disapprove, but if it isn’t of any benefit to him, he won’t help as he will consider that this doesn’t have anything to do with him, and that he doesn’t have to be anyone’s savior in this harsh world (can’t blame him, though). So when he meets female lead, he’s kinda… let’s say it takes him a while to understand that she isn’t just a bystander to him for a very simple reason : he’s someone who didn’t even know he could have feelings. It’s not really his fault because he went through some REALLY traumatic experiences, thus his revenge and cold nature. So when h the female lead slowly but surely takes place in his heart, it kinda leaves him… astonished, even in denial sometimes : he won’t admit because he thinks it’s not possible, because he can’t recognize love and at the same time, he doesn’t understand why she stirs up these feelings in him, the need to help her when she’s in trouble, to comfort her when she’s sad, to hold her back when she tries to leave, to see and touch her, the discomfort and anger when seeing her show care to someone else or trying to leave him… And when finally he realizes it, she appears to him as the light of his life : let’s say that she’s the only person in his world who awakes love, affection and attachment in him. As a result, he considers her not only precious, even vital in his life (after all, what is a human being with no love or attachment in his life ? 😢) But at no point, he turns toxic. I definitely wouldn’t call him « a good person » because he’s cunning, manipulative and merciless towards his enemies, but to say he’s a bad person doesn’t seem right to me either. He’s someone who will be indifferent towards the rest of the world, even towards himself, but will treat the one he loves with the most care and affection, and won’t let anyone hurt her, not even himself, as if she’s the most important person in the world
When did the engagement between Bua and the ML ended? Or does it get dragged until the end of Lakorn?
A few episodes ago Because the male lead found out Bua’s brother was directly involved in a relative’s death (a sibling, I think) so he could no longer force himself with this engagement just to please his mom and respect the promise between their elders But honestly, I think they all knew this was bound to happen because Khun Luang never made a secret that he didn’t want to marry Bua, because Bua was a terrible person and I think eventually no one would have had the ability nor the heart to force him into this marriage
I doubt Xie Wei will be anywhere near as dark as in the novel and also some of the characters and plot plots as…
I don’t know for Xie Wei but that’s very likely for Jiang Xue Ning Although a part of the new trailer gives the impression of a scene where the past her tries to seduce Xie Wei, which kinda looks like her past-self in the novel. However, I’d be surprised if they keep two things : the part where she kinda seduces a lot of people to get her goal and is even willing at some point to go to Yan Lin to keep her position as an empress after her husband the emperor dies in the rebellion, because Chinese censorship doesn’t really like opportunistic, shameless seductresses (they’re kinda sexist on some things). And also the fact that she gets raped in the past life because whenever a female lead gets raped in a novel, this ALWAYS disappears in the drama adaptation (except in Sealed With A Kiss and Goodbye My Princess, but in this last one, rape was only suggested and viewers weren’t dumb enough not to guess) : Siege in Fog, General and I, The Confidence, Legend of Chong Zi, Once We Get Married, The Last Princess, All Out Of Love, Wonderful Time, I Love My President Even Though He’s A Psycho, Tears in Heaven…
Hope in this drama, Bai Lu will show better acting because in Till the End of the Moon, her character is so flat.…
I think she was really good in TTEOTM : her character maybe not so much but her acting in the scenes where was screaming and crying in despair (like that scene when the evil female strangled her after revealing she killed he’d grandma or when she would cry when sacrificing herself for TTJ) really made me want to cry out for her and hug her (and actresses who make me want to hug them when they cry aren’t a lot). I could really feel her character’s despair and heartbreak
lol, i can’t help but notice a little foreshadowing in the trailer : the last lines, when Xie Wei says « People in this world, Who loves you » : Zhang Zhe, her first love, appears « Who cares for you » : Yan Lin, her childhood friend appears And finally : « Who needs you » : Xie Wei appears !
A nice foreshadowing about her different relationships with these men and why eventually Xie Wei is her male lead…
Planned to after watching TTEOTM though
But his jealousy never leads him to hurt the female lead or to pick a fight with her ! Rather, it leads him to realize how important she is to him
However, it can lead him to go after his rivals 😅 (there are 2 scenes in perticular : one where he almost kills Zhang Zhe because JXN used herself to protect him because he was pointing an arrow at him and this turned him so angry ; a second is at the end, when… let’s just say he even took it on an innocent kid who praised Zhang Zhe 😂😂😂 lol, so immature)
That would work !

They got married and lived happily ever after !

I WANNA KNOOOOOOOOW !!
(And I hope we’ll get kisses !)
the last lines, when Xie Wei says
« People in this world,
Who loves you » : Zhang Zhe, her first love, appears
« Who cares for you » : Yan Lin, her childhood friend appears
And finally : « Who needs you » : Xie Wei appears !
