End of episode 10 - 1:1 copy of Vincenzo episode 3 ending🙄.

Ok, I was starting to worry it's gonna get gruesome.

Wait, FL’s gonna be raped here by the bad guy?

Visually it looks nice in setpiece scenes , but short format didn't do any favors to this drama. Very abruptly edited, no time for characters exploration, side characters overacting, cases are too easily solved. Overall it's all very meh. Are there better dramas about Di Renjie?

That trope mostly never is necessary, imho. Just feels tacked on most of the times, and in worst cases takes all seriousness out of the plot.
If you sure it's out of the plot here, I'm glad.

If they drop all of this, I'd be content. I'm just sick and tired of this trope in cdramas. The runner up is incessant family sqabbling and excessive plotting, but I guess it'd be too much to ask to get rid of this one too.

Apparently, FL here was guy (?) in previous life and a top military sniper and elite agent 🙄. Of course, here we go again.

Wait, I've read that in the novel there's a transmigration trope. Ffs, can't there be a simple historical cdrama without this tired bs?

Likely because "moli" means jasmine in Chinese. There's a trend to give dramas English titles. At least this one is not a far cry from og title.

Same, I don't like that actress in general.

I'm more curious about director and writer combo. On the one hand, One Dollar Lawyer was funny in the first half (mostly because of the cast), but conflict with the screenwriter made it into a rushed mess in the later half.
Cafe Minamdang was...well, it was watchable, I guess, if very tropey. At least the actor is the same here, playing something of a shaman again.

Did it do so well that it warranted season 2? I personally thought it was pretty meh. But I guess people liked it a lot.

Ooh, season two. I liked the first one, quite original.

Just agree to disagree, no need to write walls of text.

After you've seen a number of these types of dramas, some tropes just become too annoying. Here this character just has no business being so possessive, it looks plain psycho. If she at least had real engagement with ML at some point or knew him for a while, I'd get it.

If he really cared, why don't he just marry her for real, grandpa'd be pleased. It's all a drag just for drama tension, stringing along the misunderstandings for frustration's sake. I'm getting sick of these in kdramas, tbh.

Anybody else thinks that that Business Proposal mom actress (aunt here) with short haircut looks like Missy Elliott, lol?

He's not in a hurry to refute that bs engagement announcement publicly. Also, if you really want to make a woman to buzz off, don't just say you're not interested and act aloof, or hide behind another woman. It makes them even more determined.
This one looks like a spoiled brat, he should have been real rude to her, calling out her being unattractive as a woman and person, or smth. If she's after money, he could have used logic reversal to make himself undesirable to her, like switching focus to his cousin.
If she's just a possessive psycho, cut her off at every turn, get a restraining order on her, or even use her own tricks to write bad pr articles about her.
And I think the easiest way to get rid of her is for him to talk honest with his grandpa and get him to accept FL.
There are options, but they prolong this bs with her barging in everywhere like an uncouth thug for tropey drama.

He clerarly wasn't firm enough and too polite. And he had so many opportunities, but to prolong this dumb drama with her they even resort to cutting the scenes without him giving a proper tell off.

That Mo Tae Hui character is pure trash. Skip, skip, skip.
Also, ML is annoying for not telling her firmly to buzz off. She looks like an obsessive psycho and he doesn't even need her company's help.
