Ya'll this drama and A Dream of Splendor have set new standards for the portrayal of women in historical cdramas and I AM HERE FOR IT. More of this please.
I came here to explain my personal struggle with recalling on moment of this series. (Major Spoiler below towards…
The tragedy of Yeon-hee's death replays in my mind often bc of how incredibly upsettingly realistic and pointless it is. The way it will never leave my memory. A moment that I could see coming and yet could not see any way of preventing. I still remember reaching my hands out as if I could stop her from making such a pointless decision. I honestly will never ever forget how heartbreaking that moment was. I'm still so sad. It's been several months since i i finished the series that's 50ep long and yet when i think back this moment is all i can think of. Truly few moments in all of television/film haunt me the way that scene does. I have no specific goal with this comment other than to find out if anyone else feels this way. I came here at 12:30AM on a Saturday after recalling it for no specific reason and needed to know if i'm the only one that can't forget it. I swear I don't know if a suicide in any series has felt this realistic before. I'm still reeling. Please save me by telling me i'm not alone.
Can someone tell me how painful the last few episodes are? I read the netflix episode summaries and I can't bring myself to continue bc I hate pain. Are those episodes even funny? I don't want to cry.
how can two people be this evil to a man whose done very little to deserve it? can someone explain to me how to not hate almost everyone in this drama?
To this day i'll never find a drama so grounded in realism as go ahead. Even if it is still a drama, no subject touched in the drama is glamorized or romanticized. it's all just wounded people healing with the people around them. I really hope more people watch it.
how much tragedy is in this xianxia? I rarely watch them bc i can't handle too many reincarnations/deaths but this has such good reviews i can't decide if i am willing to suffer. i don't want spoilers just an idea
