How is this considered a well written drama when the FL is into someone else for most of it but they still market it as a romance? Not everyone has the same taste, you are right. That's whyI can’t see it as a good romance when one lead treats the other like a backup option

In that case, the comment I replied to is also a fake account. Check their profile. I don’t get how having a new account automatically makes someone’s opinion worthless. Does that mean the OP’s concern was invalid too

So is everyone in the comment section just BWS fans or shippers? Because most of the comments I see are people not liking the drama. I only noticed one account with IU’s name. You can’t really turn this into a fanwar or play the sympathy card when the drama itself was just average.

The eight tailed fox said Eunho had been crying over Siyeol for ten years. So why didn’t she just go and see him?

The difference between the Kdramas you mentioned and this one is that the FL never really swooned over the SML or even if she did, it didn’t drag on for long except SWBS, which I didn’t like for that same reason. This drama feels more comparable to the currently airing Our Universe where FL has a huge crush on SML and they keep dragging it out but People are rightfully criticizing that

This is my favourite type of character

Lmao I kind of get you. I just dropped a drama where the ML came across as a total simp and cuck.
I actually commented here without watching, so I don’t know what’s waiting for me. As long as the FL doesn’t like another guy, I probably won’t see him as a simp. I actually love watching losers in love

So thankfully, there’s no character the FL has a crush on or swoons over, right? That’s my main concern with romance stories these days.

I mean there’s a romance tag and the poster clearly suggests a love story. What were you expecting? Maybe romance just isn’t your thing because most romance fans would be giggling over the very things you’re complaining about.

Nice to see others feel the same. I watched it as it aired and enjoyed parts of it, but something always felt empty. I never warmed up to the male lead and I don’t think he had any major character development.It seemed like the female lead simply outmaneuvered him , rather than him actually growing. I couldn’t quite put that into words back then and I didn’t dare comment because the viewers would’ve eaten me alive lol

Is there any SML or SFL?

Maybe I expected more from the short clips I’d seen but this ended up feeling really boring. Only the kissing scenes were worth it, I guess. I also didn’t expect the actors to have such a big age gap. I thought it would be at most 10 years.

Cdrama audiences seem quite different from Kdrama audiences. Many kdramas get negative reviews if the second male lead stays around too long. But in this drama, the SML had an even longer presence and viewers were still praising it while it aired.
I wonder if people just skip the SML scenes. But if they’ve skipped almost 40% of the show, how can they call it their favorite drama?

This isn’t worth it. No kiss scenes or skinship. Just endless scenes of the female lead being assaulted by the villain. Why even bother putting the ML on the poster when he’s barely in it for four episodes?

I’ve watched my share of short Cdramas and those were kind of toxic but good toxic if it's making sense. This one, though, was actually bad. The male lead was toxic and the female lead was insanely irritating. There are definitely better dramas out there.

Ngl this sounds so tempting

But IU’s dramas always have sad or bittersweet endings

This is the second ZLH character I haven’t liked and both are with Zhao Jin Mai. I’m not blaming her tho
I disliked her character in their previous drama and now I don’t like ZLH’s character here.

But I’m surprised they’re doing back to back dramas together. Was their pairing really that popular? Or maybe it wasn’t talked about enough, so they got cast together again?

From what I’ve seen, his pairings with Bai Lu and Xu Ruo Han seemed more popular

Why are they writing ZLH’s character like a cuck?
The FL comes off so stoic. She never really seems in love with her husband. Is it a chemistry issue, an acting issue from her side or just how the character was written?

Can someone give me some hints about ZLH’s character in this drama? I’d love it if he’s unhinged like Xie Wei or a cute schemer like He Suye. Or is he just playing a normal character this time?
