sighs heavily at all the woobifying with bambi. yes I do feel bad for her re the ptsd flashbacks but no I'm not forgiving her for her stalking and harassment just bc she has trauma?????????? are you guys for real???????????????????
every episode bambi pisses me tf off but I really can't get over her meeting w prim's dad for any purpose other than backing up prim and telling him to go away. like idgaf about her tragic past I hope bambi gets hit by a bus!!!
so first bambi was stalking and harassing prim and now she's trying to force prim to reconcile w her father???????? I hate bambi so much free prim from her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They really should build on their relationship from the past because atp it seems like Prim is just going out…
I mean bambi is a manipulative stalker who knows exactly what buttons to push bc their history. I don't fault prim for getting tangled back up in her abusive ex's bullshit but it is exhausting to see that she knew bambi was just trying to get her attention and she still did what bambi wanted bc she let her anxiety win instead of putting her foot down. but next week we're getting prim snapping 🙏
prim is so much nicer than she should be lol. I am also quite the worrier but there's no way in hell I would go make sure bambi is okay if I'd just spent days dealing w her nonstop harassment like prim has
prim get behind me!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting so fed up w complaints about prim "having no backbone" when it comes to bambi as if bambi isn't a manipulative stalker who knows exactly what buttons to push to make prim do what she wants due to their history. just say you hate abuse survivors ffs
You expressed exactly how I felt about this series in pure details, I really hate how a lot of CBL's get overly…
yeah agreed that characterization felt inconsistent, I feel like Yi Wei and Pei Jia both had 180 character turns out of nowhere and we're just supposed to accept it bc we're supposed to be on board w these romances lol.
thank you for the kind words / your comment in general 💞
I mainly got more information from series recaps, non-biased reviews, and two friends who watched the series as…
yeah it was a very excrutiating watch and it boggles my mind that this was released only a decade ago when the predatory romance feels like something that belongs in an '80s film. and I'm nearly finished with the script! (it's looking like it's going to be about an hour long 😵💫😵💫😵💫 me vs making short videos lmaooooo.) thank you for your interest and I will def share the link once it's up! hopefully sometime next week 🤞
I'm literally scripting a video essay atm about how fucking wack it is that this show is so popular when the age gap romance is so central to the story. as someone who sat through the whole thing (curiosity almost always gets the better of me 🥲) I could not agree more about your thought of Goblin being found family for Eun-tak, esp given her losing her mom so young. and also hard agree about your comment down here that he treated her like trash. I'm not sure what details you gathered from elsewhere since you only watched the first episode, but there's a plot thread where Eun-tak starts crushing on a boy she knew from her childhood that she reconnects with and Goblin like... basically throws a tantrum about this and, as Eun-tak has moved in with him bc she's genuinely unsafe living w her aunt, he forces her to do a bunch of chores around the house that are very labor intensive under the threat of her being homeless if she doesn't comply. like.... wow. the writers understood her aunt was abusive but now her love interest is treating her the same way and it's treated as humorous bc he's jealous. it's just so 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
wish the summary had included that she transmigrates into the foster sister of the lead character....... really tired of this "they're not blood siblings so it isn't incest" mentality
Honestly, I'm looking for negative reviews because I feel like I can't be the only one who thinks this drama is…
Yeah, I feel like the politest I can be is still "wow this is dreadfully boring" lmao. 100% agree that the romance feels fake, I could not understand why they were falling for each other — I'm just told that they have and I'm supposed to go along with it. And if there's one thing I can't stand it's forced unearned relationship development lol so... just a very painful watching experience.
Not gonna lie,I actually agree with many parts of your review. I was also having a hard time for lazy story writing,so…
TY for your response 🫶 I can see what you're saying about Ji Bozai developing feelings for "Ming Yi" despite not truly knowing her due to the belief she wasn't after the Golden Millet Dream like everyone else was. I guess my frustration is that the show wants the audience to fill in most of the blanks when it comes to their initial feelings because I just never felt like their romance was earned.
And yeah, obviously by the end Ming Xian/Situ Ling wouldn't work 😂 But while the initial set up of his character obviously had hints of what was coming, it didn't *have* to be read that way and I am just very weak for the "I will do anything to prevent harm coming to you" flavor of devotion that he was exhibiting. 100% was not healthy, 100% he was obsessed with this pedestalized version of Ming Xian so that he couldn't see the real her. But before we peel back enough layers to know that, I do think the Ming Xian/Situ Ling dynamic worked better as a romance than Ming Xian/Ji Bozai did.
that's my girl <3
