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 😁

Female fans definitely would not have complained if he was asked to take his shirt off when he was in a sauna 🧖

P.S. That scene looked kind of strange because why would you get in a sauna device fully clothed — your clothes would get very sweaty 😓

The whole storyline stopped making sense after FL barged into a hospital room full of reporters and screamed “mom!” at a perfectly safe mom who wasn’t dying or in a coma. Writers really were very sloppy in how their relationship was revealed. It could’ve been something pre logical like them actually going outside and paparazzi catching them.

Writing definitely leaves a lot to be desired. There’s only so much good actors can do to help it 😳

I was excited when Ep. 3 started by showing off relationship with her mom and started to believe writers finally got something right. But then they came up with an absurd way for their relationship to be revealed (very dumb of FL). The writers don’t seem to know what they want — a cozy village romcom (like Once Upon a Small Town) or something more serious & angsty (like The First Frost). And characters keep making decisions which are very illogical 🙄

Agree. This drama feels like a collection of scenes designed to make us laugh or emote, but a lot of them just don’t make any logical sense even if you put yourself in a character’s shoes. I’d highly encourage everyone to watch “Once Upon a Small Town” (good village drama, very short and almost all chill/cozy), “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” (same type of helpful male character but who is a lot nicer), and “The First Frost” (FL also sleepwalked due to trauma).
Any other drama references I missed? 😁

I highly encourage everyone to watch The First Frost although some elements may be triggering to victims of violence 🫣😳

The answer is: because writer(s) aren’t very good. There’s a lot of puzzling decisions being made. Like when ML & FL met but neither wanted to give a right of way — that’s something that might only happen when one of the people is very impolite, but 99.9% of the time one person will just let another person pass because it’s quicker than arguing. Or in ep. 3 how reporters barged into a VIP’s hospital room… or how FL yelled “mom!” at the top of her lungs in a presence of a ton of reporters (when it was clear mom was fine… she wasn’t dying or in a coma). Or how the channel manager wants to ruin a perfect setup (1 great cosmetics sales person + 1 great non-cosmetics) and is making both of them mad; especially since FL selling cosmetics again will likely resurrect articles/stories about the incident that caused sever damage to people. Just a lot of unexplainable things. 🙄

He made her write her address down on a contract she signed promising never to come into her house (it was when she was trying to catch escaped chicken). Let’s be honest, there’s no need for an address on a contract like that so it was clear the writers were setting up a scenario like this one.

I love light hearted dramas, but have to admit that writing of this drama leaves much to be desired 😳

Friday can’t come soon enough! 👑

Ohh… did you enjoy Born to Run though? I love TFF even despite the horrible mom — it’s just quite heartbreaking 💔 to watch flashbacks. But it did make the last two episodes super nice when FL got accepted into ML’s family & could relax and be herself. Actually, last two episodes of TFF should be a blueprint for drama endings — instead of doing something trope-y like breakup & reunion in last episode, spend more time on happy times (and don’t do it as a 5-minute special). I really like You Are My Glory not just because it has two sets of nice parents but also because it shows development of a relationship and even life after marriage.

Tencent / WeTV needs to hurry up, get aboard WCR train 🚂 and finally release this drama!

I haven’t watched those shows yet, but to me the worst parent is FL’s mom in The Firat Frost. What she had done / not done makes other drama parents look like angels 👼
