That was pretty intense. And rather telling that their romance was going to be a slow burn and that he was going…
It was SUCH a good scene! And when she told him the meaning behind her name… and him fishing for whether she was romantically involved with someone (and his face when she wasn’t). It was such a heady scene filled with soooooo much emotion.
Just finished episode 5 🥰Fu Yixiao freaking kicking ASS on the boat and looking like a gorgeous freaking trapeze artist while doing it. Feng Suige showing up with his men and being all like, “Leave one alive” like the badass mf he is. Suige being all sexy af Alpha Male by being all protective of Yixiao and tossing her off the boat (come at me if you want - alpha males are hot if written right). Suige saving her “son” on the ship by calmly smirking and telling him to not be afraid AND EFFING STAB THE JERK WITH THE KNIFE HE GAVE HIM. Him being a freaking badass DAD FIGURE sacrificing his life to save his future *son*. Her in turn freaking swimming bACK TO THE BOAT TO save him from drowning. A moment of connection by a campfire with a flustered KILLER GOD OF SUSHA who was blushing like a schoolboy and then him sitting clOSER THAN NECESSARY to her and being all flirty like the sexy mf he is. And she is being all flirty back liiiiiiiike Ahhh lemme just sit back and enjoy this warm cup of fluffy feels ☕️ while it lasts.
I doubt it's possible. Major target audience has changed a lot. No patience to watch a slow-burn, slice-of-life…
Yeah I struggled to get into this one until episode 20 and then even more around episode 30. I think for me I watch shows primarily for the romance, and it’s hard sustaining my interest if the main couple doesn’t have a lot of scenes together. I’m lame, I know 😅 But I LOVED the main couple in this one so much once they got together. The ML in this one is one of my faves. I rewatch a lot of their scenes.
I think my biggest issue with this show was the lack of the FL caring that she was dying… Like she remained in denial for the entire show. I wish we had more human feelings of fear, I wish we saw more hospitalizations and / or cancer treatment, or her wrestling with her own mortality.
OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THE BROTHER / SISTER FEELS 💛💛💛 (episode 3). I know I KNOW that I am probably gonna hate her later on (dunno why, but apparently I’m gonna), but lemme just feel the love and warmth of them now 😍 And then grieve over what could have been a fantastic sibling relationship 💔 I’m such a sucker for healthy and loving big brother / little sister relationships 🤗 🥺Now I’m sad.
so she's not one of those hypocrite towards him !? I read she lie to him and she used him for what she wants!?…
Oh yeah you’re totally right. The irony is that she absolutely is using him and is really not much different than them right now. I want the truth to be out asap because all of their sweet moments are jaded right now because of the lies.
Right now it’s a male main character (love rival for the ML with the FL) 🙄It’s annoying. There’s jealousy and possessiveness brewing. 🤦🏼♀️
As is pretty normal with c-dramas — very quickly 😂
To be honest, there isn’t another show in the same genre that holds a candle to this one HOWEVER there is one that is currently airing that has incredible potential - Fated Hearts. 30 episodes have been released so far, and I have heard nothing but stellar reviews. Others who loved Prisoner of Beauty have been raving about Fated Hearts. I am only on episode 3 and it’s GREAT so far. So if you wanna risk picking up a show without knowing the ending that may be your best bet. I can see loving it like I loved TPoB. It’s another enemies to lovers story, but it’s darker than TPoB - the leads are legitimate enemies and torture each other in the first couple of episodes 😅Both leads are incredibly capable, they have great chemistry, and yeah. I can’t say a lot about it because I haven’t watched as much as others have. But people LOVE it. I have been anxious to get home and watch more!
Different genre (xianxia), but I also loved When Destiny Brings the Demon. Outside of some iffy CGI effects, this one is a feast for romance lovers. LOTS of sensuality, kisses, intimacy and skinship. No love triangles, awesome communication with the leads, no breakups. It’s my 2nd favorite cdrama under TPoB, but the genre may not be for everyone.
Oh my gosh I love the FL (and ML ofc). The way she “innocently” calls everyone out on their hypocrisy and their two-faced bullshit toward the ML is epic. Ready for the deceitfulness on both sides to be done. Especially because I’m sensing that the ML is really starting to catch the feels oh no 🫣And also let’s just add a flipping love rival 🤦🏼♀️Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
