This series was doing very well until they…

This series was doing very well until they got to the Lige-kidnaps-Ziqing sub-story. This is just awful. Totally hack plot-contrivance. First off, the whole 'look' of the Lige character is beyond pretentious and it's a wonder that all the other characters don't burst out laughing when they see him. Bust 2nd of all, and more serious, is that he is a kidnapper, holding her prisoner and forcing her to do something to fulfill his psychopathic obsession. Yes, she has something to gain from this (information and Qin skills), but it was not her choice to be doing.. He robbed her of choice. If he respected her as a human with autonomy, he should have returned her to her people after rescuing her and then asked her if he could teach her. Instead, what he's doing is abuse and degrading. If he was just a villain, that would be one thing. But the writers are clearly going out of their way to try to make Lige a 'sympathetic' character. He has an illness (or poison) so we are supposed to feel sorry for him. He has some relationship with her Mother (which feels creepy in itself). He's also pretty-boy handsome. All that feels like cheap manipulation and personally, makes me very disappointed in the show. Because the kidnapping and abuse scenario is not something to be taken lightly. It makes me feel like the writers might be sick people if they think this is entertainment. Hopefully they will turn this around and make Lige pay for his crimes.

Five Stars

Moeum is so hilarious, I cannot with this woman ;D Danho is so adorable and lovevly, I am so glad that their realtionship is going further, slowly but further. Also he is really a good listener.Whole family cried and blamed themselves, such good people but this show is also a good lesson for us all, we never know what struggle someone has or what might happen to someone we know, so let's not say words or do stuff to othere that we might later regret. Seunghyo couldn't be more perfect I swear, he listens, he understands, helps is patient, he did everything the way it should be done.So we said godbyee to Hyeonjun, funny how few epsiodes before I would be happy but not it's kind of bittersweet, he was indeed a good fiance, he helped her the way he knew and could, he did his best.

forgot that in the dynamic of a Dom / Sub…

forgot that in the dynamic of a Dom / Sub relationship the Sub is the real one with power - lol... so little wonder that the one that had all the power is now down on his knees begging, the twist was somehow fitting & yet Jeong Han this whipped he can't think straight? he didn't deal with Jeong In until he had too (& beating him isn't dealing with the problem, it's just making things worse). same with his father, am sure his whole life he was dictated too, as the future successor his whole day was planned yrs ahead, not weeks or months & his every move was reported back to his father - this i know just from watching K-drama's. Jeong In being born in that environment needs educating?!?? shouldn't he know better?!?? he wants to be with Il Jo in Korea where gay relationships r still stigmatized? & given his position, he would be doubly so, add the fact they related & that would be like opening pandora's box - the chaos that info getting reveled is mind boggling. yet no plans, no fore-thought about how to make sure nothing wouldn't touch the private life he wanted with Il Jo, just living life & hoping everything would work out - guess he had a perfect life, before taking Il Jo in, after the funeral. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************regarding Il Jo - i will ask/say again, if he knew he should stay away from Jeong Han, why did he show-up at his gate after standing him up for the dinner date? he knew being near Jeong Han was gonna put Jeong Han in danger, but he still went - when he knew that he had to get away from him, to keep both of them safe. so why come back only to then depart?!? & anyone saying it's cause he loved Jeong Han so much he couldn't stay away - i call b.s. cause if u really love someone so much, u will keep away to not hurt them, instead of coming back only to go away adding to their heartache & messing with their head. ******also i am happy he didn't sleep with his half-brother, i literally gasped when the half-brother said that to Jeong Han & the other things he said made me wonder, is Il Jo really an evil femme fatale, master mind that loves to play with men's heads? & he targets "tough cookies" that r hard to crack, which makes the conquest that much more sweeter when they fall for him?!? now that would be a hell of a twist for the ages, him actively trying to destroy the Seo family, cause he held a grudge against them for not accepting him, as one of their own.

so was a bit confused in this ep - why wasn't Il Jo elated that Jeong Han wanted to date him? why didn't he answer him when Jeong Han asked how he felt about him. cause am 99.999% sure Il Jo still head over heels for Jeong Han?!? what did his half-brother say to him, when he was beating him up?? as it was clear that he knew there was something between Jeong Han & lI Jo, just he assumed that Jeong Han was playing with lI Jo. did he threaten lI Jo or tell him that he would hurt Jeong Han if lI Jo didn't keep his distance ?!?? is that why, even though he agreed to date he wants it kept a secret?!? ******************************btw Jeong In was always gonna be a problem, cause he can hurt both guy, as i am sure Jeong Han's CEO father wont be happy to hear his son is not only gay, but in a relationship with his cousin & that's putting it lightly. & even after the 2nd beating Jeong Han didn't feel the need to try & find a way to deal with Jeong In, making sure he wont become an obstacle in their lives.

call me a mean girl, but i didn't feel bad for Il Jo, dude has had enough time to get his act together & if that house is important to him, he should find a lawyer. he is working - even if part time it is something better then nothing, means he has an income & being proactive means he can also go to the cops. anything then passively letting his half brother come vent whenever he feels the itch. same with his happily welcoming Jeong Han with open arms - when he didn't even offer an apology. but it's Il Jo we talking about - u can walk all lover him & he will ask if ur feet hurt. *****************************************************************& Jeong Han is another one, acting all "knight in shining armor" when facing a battered Il Jo, he understood exactly what Jeong In did to Il Jo & why Il Jo hadn't shown up to the date. but he sat there nursing his demons instead of going to find Il Jo, to make sure he was alright. so his acting worried when he saw Il Jo outside his place made me roll my eyes - as i did when Il Jo told him "...i didn't want u to see me like this..." - then WHY u even show-up at his place??? like plz with the fake act.

so is this gonna be a running theme?!? Jeong Han getting blind drunk & then jumping Il Jo???? & somehow the fact Il Jo is into "this" is making this that much worse. but no matter how bad Jeong Han treats him he like a happy puppy running to get kicked by his master. with a puppy u can't blame the animal cause their owner (no matter how evil) is their whole world & they have no other way to survive - but when we r talking a adult human behaving he same it causes an allergic reaction in my body. i can't deal with this - this Not a romance that amount's to anything but a BDSM like relationship - which i get people r into. but hard for me to root for something this toxic - one hell of a ride though.

why one BL after the other suddenly they all…

why one BL after the other suddenly they all different levels of toxic?!? like WTF is going on - idk if to laugh of cry. **************ironically i kinda agreed with Jeong Han, when he watched Lee Il Jo get stomped on & beaten by his half-brother. like who willingly turns themselves into a doormat & keeps begging when they r getting the living sh*t beaten out of them? at no point self-respect, self-preservation, bleedin anger at the injustice of it all, didn't make him counter-attack?!? defend himself with words or actions??? nope, he just took it??? ******************************************************************************************so yeah i agreed with Jeong Han, as i was feeling more or less the same things - Lee Il Jo annoyed me. but then Jeong Ha added the f*cked up line, where he wondered "...how much more pathic he could get..." sounded like he was gonna try & find out... which turns him into a sadist & idk how much i am into that.... & as much as Il Jo is a walking victim - he's already down idk how much i am gonna enjoy anyone kicking him & adding to his misery. but thankfully this short so i wont have to suffer too much (i hope).

Inner conflict

This episode had the biggest battle yet between hunters and earth fiends. Luo was given a similar vibe as River in Serenity movie. She definitely went beserk and did a lot of damage. For as intense as this battle was it didn’t have that big of an emotional impact on me because I really don’t care about most of these characters. It had the makings of a good story but it wasn’t fleshed out enough to really feel engaged with a lot of the cast. It was interesting having Luo’s mom there, but her finishing off Lin XiRou and Luo making a rookie mistake with sword while Yan Tuo was not able to provide backup with a decent weapon, greatly diminished the viewers’ satisfaction at the ending of a major villain. The mom has taken Luo to parts unknown and Yan Tuo wakes up by the doc after being in a coma. The hunters have made memorials for the lost hunters but their weapons and capabilities were so mismatched with the earth fiends that it simply made me wonder what happened to their training and why weren’t they more innovative with long range weaponry. It’s truly a wonder any of them survived because Luo was the only one making serious damage and she ended up stabbing XiRou rather than pithing her from an aerial attack. We are given more of the doc’s back story and why he assisted both sides. This should have been the earth shattering battle of the ages between these two groups and it really was more meh than good job kicking ass. There was a lot of buildup but that turned out to be better than the actual confrontation.
