We may have a situation where bad people get their hands on the marriage contract and blackmail ML into stopping his quest to become a king. Something along those lines.

We all love the leads (except for haters, lol) but she’s definitely a gem in this drama too along with the actress who plays FL’s sister in law.

In the drama, royalty has high status/prestige but no money. They are supported by the state (taxpayers) which is why prime minister oversees their affairs. It’s possible they may own some real estate assets (like palaces, homes, etc.) but they are cultural landmarks so can’t be sold anyway. So that’s why ML marrying FL is a worst case scenario for Queen Mother. Now ML has access to a lot of money and he can use those funds to get public even more on his side and mount a campaign to become a king (for example, the king is a child, let’s not ruin his childhood and ML already acts as a regent anyway, so what’s the difference).

Well… he put it in the safe now but it just gives us a hint of what might happen: best case scenario — no one will break in and he will use that will to become the king; worst case — they will break in, steal the contract and use it to cause trouble. But, honestly, at this point most of us except a contract marriage drama to have something like that, lol. There needs to be something exposing marriage as a sham, heroes get separated for a bit but then get back together because they truly love one another.

P.S. I’m also lowkey not sure Queen Mother was the main cause of that inferno. She might think she was at fault but it will turn out the king was dead already or that someone else was involved 🤔

Episode 4 is the best so far… by a lot!

Marriage contact will be discovered for sure. And it will likely happen when someone breaks in to find The Document (you know what I mean) and the contract will be there

I’ve asked a lot of people in the comments of Our Generation about the book. It had a bit more details about his life over there but — bottom line — even the book didn’t have a reasonable explanation for his behavior. But other than that Inreally enjoyed OG because of its vibe. It was a bit like WIFTY x TFF… except the source material wasn’t as strong 🙄

Thanks!
TFF was meant to be watched with The Best Thing 😁 They aired at almost the same time and balanced each other out (for the most part). One thing I appreciated about TFF is that they did a reasonably good job of explaining why FL left both times. That’s a lot different than most dramas where people leave their beloved for random/unwarranted reasons. For example, I loved the mood & ambiance of “Our Generation” (and love both leads, obviously), but I just couldn’t accept the reason why ML left & ghosted FL. So in comparison to most dramas, TFF did a great job and I especially enjoyed mix of present day & flashbacks. I’m not a huge fan of when episode 1 has present day (leads meet again) then we have to watch 15-25 episodes of their past and then move back to present day.

I hope in 10 years when they announce their marriage and a birth of their child, the fandom war can stop 🤣 If only we could have situations like in “You Are My Glory” when both management & fans encouraged their idols to get married & were super supportive 😁

Gucci needs to do everyone a favor and do a combined ad campaign with them 🥰

Yay, May 4th!

I certainly think it’s nice for people to be passionate about something, but constant fan wars or unrest/unhappiness is hard to understand for someone who is not a local person immersed in that world. For examples, we almost didn’t have a gem that is “Pursuit of Jade” because ML & FL’s management companies were bitter enemies & swore to never work together due to a prior dispute with their other clients about who gets top billing (which, apparently, is a huge thing in China because it impacts endorsements, etc.). Or there are trolls who pretend to be fans of person A when writing mean comments about person B hoping to start flame wars. People seriously need to find an outlet for their energy. Maybe then can volunteer to be script reviewers so that dramas don’t constantly recycle same annoying/tired tropes 🤣

I mean, many people believe the Earth is flat, that Moon landing was fake and that dinosaur bones are fake.

My thought as well. Maybe not to stop resignation per se, but for some other reason.

Even the stats won’t convince haters because they will claim the stats are made up or manipulated. That’s what happened with Pursuit of Jade earlier this year which set all sorts of viewership/ratings/hot index records on Chinese platforms and on Netflix. But haters haven’t stoppers spreading conspiracy theories saying numbers are manipulated/artificially inflated 🙄

He’s being pressured to marry and it’s better to fake-marry someone who will support him & be his ally compared to arrange-marrying someone who is controlled by Queen Mother & whose status is kind of low. FL is incredibly wealthy (unlike royals who are supported by the government), so she can do all sorts of tricks to influence public opinion and maybe even potentially get him on the throne. Now, that’s all setting aside the fact he may have had a crush on her during school years as we are slowly finding out.

That was a dumb decision for sure. But show has gotten better with each episode, I think. By episodes 5 & 6 most of us are pretty happy with the drama :)

Yes, we all need to be nicer since everyone has different opinions. But keep in mind that many of people who are writing negative comments & leaving bad reviews are doing that as trolls for purposes of rage baiting. A measured negative review/comment is one thing, but trolls are trolls because they write complete nonsense.

The short answer is we don’t know because they haven’t revealed the full royal family tree and exact rules.
We can deduce the system of succession is Primogeniture (direct descendants take precedence) but we don’t know if it’s Male-Preference Primogeniture (e.g., younger son takes precedence over older daughter) or Absolute Primogeniture (whomever is older gets the throne).

Maybe Netflix did AHS a favor after he starred in KPDH 😁
