One Stars

was sure Baek Sa Eon would notice at the start, what he did by the end. this whole ep felt like filler & the more i see of the past, the less i like Baek Sa Eon. idk why he fell for the older sister or what their deal was... but he didn't have to drag Hong Hui Ju into this mess (but then no drama lol).********************************************************************************************************************************************now i kinda get that Hong Hui Ju is an only child (her sister isn't biological) but cause the children of the Chairman were the ones that died & got disabled, Hong Hui Ju's mother forced her to act like she too was injured in the accident. so he wouldn't take out his anger for his loss, on the new wife & her child. personally i don't get this way of thinking, but i guess the mother knew what type of man she married & didn't torture her child for the heck of it... still doesn't justify traumatizing & abusing her daughter - let alone continuing said abuse.********************************************************************************************************************************************Sim Gyu Jin (Baek Sa Eon's mother) is another one i don't get, from what little we get about her & her past she knows what it's like to marrying into that family. shouldn't she as someone who went through that hell not try & be a better mother-in-law towards Hong Hui Ju???********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really love a lot of the side character's they add some much needed levity. also love how Ji Sang U doesn't bow-down or back off when Baek Sa Eon tries his usual tactics of trying to bully him into submission showing he's top dog. like how Ji Sang U stands his ground & even push's back - about time someone puts him in his place

Right into the action!

Honestly, this is one of the best first episodes I've ever seen from the Xian Xia genre. We just right into the action and. the tension between the two leads is off the charts. There's a dramatic escape, multiple battles, diabolical evil and even a freaking kiss scene... like what more could you want? Plus, the two leads are both powerful baddies and have loads of chemistry despite the fact that the setup is one-sided love. Usually I dislike FLs who go grazy over the ML from the get go, but MXL is different. She's decisive and clever and has so much agency; it's really refreshing to see. Honestly, I the sense that the ML is the one out of his depth here hehe

Nice wrap on the opening arc

Although half of this episode is basically just wrapping up the opening arc and therefore less-exciting than what we've been seeing, we get a lot of great development from our couple, a lot of scenes to drive home the concept that the XXC is really starting to soften towards MXL and sypathize with her more. I'm really impressed with VZ's portrayal, how he manages to infuse so much emotion into his character while still being his cold, holier-than-thou self. His sublte facial expressions and obvious discomfort with his new feelings are so fun to watch. Of course, MXL never tires in her pursuit of him and finally convinces him to allow her to join him in Snow City. Hell yeah girl, you go!

i really dislike Kim Yeon Hui, idk what type of mother keeps treating her child like she does Hong Hui Ju & isn't it about time that Hong Hui Ju stood-up for herself & not let people talk sh*t to her, let alone push her around?!??? even that mother ( ˘︹˘ )*****************************************************************************************************************************************even the so called awakening romance between her & her husband is utterly toxic. he had zero reasons to hate her, let alone treat her like he has been for over 3 yrs. she was Never at fault, if anything she a victim of circumstances. a situation he created with her older sister & it was his choice(!) to marry Hong Hui Ju, so she was more or less was 'sold out' by everyone & yet somehow she always the person everyone is blaming??? what ＼（〇_ｏ）／*******************************************************& the fact they knew each other for over 2 decades & he knew her personality, let alone saw how she was treated cause of her disability, yet choses to treat her like he did, when she was forced into marriage. sorry but how is this an ML/romance i gotta root for?!? now cause he suddenly notices her, we gotta forget his shitty attitude? why would i want Hong Hui Ju or any woman for that matter, to end up with someone like him?!?*****************************************************************************************************************************************think the only times i have seen Hong Hui Ju smile & relax was around the people at the sign language center (don't recall how it was called) & around Ji Sang U. every other time she looks like she's carrying the world on her back. her husband suddenly noticing her isn't a reason to rejoice IMO, if anything with the return of her elder sister this "awakening" is gonna bring her only more heartache.*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i am beyond happy that the "jig is up" as is she was Really bad at play acting as a kidnapper. her demands & conversations were cringe & pointless - why the frack would some random dude, care about the relationship of his targets?!? who they were with, let alone their true feelings... like plz that whole plot turned ridiculous.

don't know a things about bombs, but given…

don't know a things about bombs, but given the blast there's NO WAY anyone in that room survived. maybe Baek Sa Eon (cause he was in a different room), but he too should've been seriously injured given the blast blowing the door into his room. Park Do Jae who was standing near the guy opening the pizza box, for sure shouldn't be logically standing there, being capable of worrying over his boss. *****************************************************************************************************************************************& get Hong Hui Ju not thinking straight (considering everything happening to her) let alone her cold weird relationship with that douche of a husband, but the sec he took her phone to check for hacking, shouldn't she have told him that the car was for sure hacked?!? & considering it was done once, why wouldn't the kidnapper try again?? especially after almost getting away with it the 1st time?!? & after the way the car "acted" when she came to get, still staying in it, let alone driving off was a stupid move IMO *****************************************************************************************************************************but after her knee-jerk reaction of not just taking the encrypted phone, but calling her husband to threaten him, she seems a bit lost without any forethought as to what she wants to achieve & how to go about getting it. Baek Sa Eon who is made out to be smart, should've clued out by now that the person on the other end is female cause of the way she was talk - which was more emotionally motivated, then pragmatic. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also the whole back-story is confusing me a bit. when Ji Sang U spoke about his childhood playmate i was sure it was Baek Sa Eon. but now i am assuming it was the male child of the Chairman that Hong Hui Ju's mother was talking about. so am guessing that she has 2 girls from her marriage to Na Jin Cheol. & the rich man she married had 2 kids that died - guess her daughter Hong Hui Ju was involved in the accident, but was the sole survivor. **************************************************************************************************************so the chairman wont get angry that his children died, while his step daughter survived - her mother forced her into acting mute ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、) poor kid/girl/woman.
