in episode 11 makes me struggle even more to understand the FL’s logic.Okay, i get that she’s angry because…
Yeah I’ve been thinking about it, too. I get why she would be angry - she’s been trying to prove herself to Wei Yun and his family since the beginning, risking freezing to death to get him out of jail, getting hit by the whip, having her connections attend his banquet, taking the dart in the leg for Yun, etc. She’s done a LOT for this family, so I understand why she’d be frustrated.
But I think it would help a lot if she at least took responsibility for her deception and validated and acknowledged Yun’s point of view, because his perspective also made a lot of sense. Her not at last taking accountability and expressing understanding of his perspective is hurting her character. Maybe they won’t drag it out too long.
The chemistrying chemistry!!! 😍 DYX is GREAT!! He emotes SO WELL! I am loving watching him catch the feels for Yu 😍 I am also really enjoying the role reversal? With him being the one who is more emotional, young and inexperienced - while she’s obviously a bit more mature than he is. It’s super cute 🤭😍🥰 I’m into it 💯
AND almost everything is out in the open between the leads regarding the case, which is wonderful. After 10, I was starting to get worried that they were gonna drag out the secret-keeping and the lying. I’m glad they didn’t, thanks to our amazingly intelligent ML who has that youthful openness and transparency 😍 I am loving seeing DYX play just a dynamic character, who is childish in some ways, but is also observant and cunning.
I will say, though, that I am starting to struggle a little bit with Chu Yu. I apppreciate that they are trying to give us insight into where she is coming from, but it’s a little hard to understand her. I get that Yun has openly suspected her since the beginning, and I get that she’s upset / hurt because she risked her life and got injured for his family many times since she joined it. I get that she’s upset that Yun didn’t trust her. But… he apologized? He acknowledged that he did use her (she used him too), and offered to help her investigate? And it’s clear now that they are on the same side with common goals?
She has also told her maid that she doesn’t trust that Yun won’t discard her in the future, so I do wonder if that mindset is related to her shitty mom and also being ditched by Chusheng. Regardless, she has literally known Yun a lot longer than his brother, so it doesn’t make total sense to me why she would trust his brother so quickly, but not our guy. I don’t dislike the FL, but there are some holes in my understanding of her that I am trying to fill.
Anywho, this show is really good! And the second couple!!! 😍
Is this why there aren’t many translated TV shows depicting historical Japanese culture? My partner and I have…
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or if you’re taking jabs at me for no good reason 😅So I’ll assume you’re a nicer person than that. I have looked, but there is also a possibility that I am not looking in the right places. I only got heavily into Asian shows a year ago. Started with Korea on Viki, then fell into historical China on Viki, IQIYI and WeTV. I’ve been interested in stepping into Japanese TV shows, but maybe I am not sure where to find them. I tried googling historical Jdramas and couldn’t find a whole lot. If you have any tips or recommendations of ones to start, I would welcome them 😊
it broke 24000 today. and it is going to air on satellite tv nov 3 !
Do you remember if haters tanked the ratings of Glory and TPoB at the time they were airing? I am a recent MDL member and I wasn’t around here when they aired. TPoB is my favorite show.
