Regal Ink Queen

Joe ignored it because he was attracted. It's clear in the novel that Joe was infactuated towards Ming. He used to ignore Ming's insensitive behaviour as childish.

Actually Ming never acted good. He was always insensitive towards Joe. He used to occasionally taunt him if u can recall. He clearly said this relationship is only physical. Till this point Im fine with Ming and Joe was too. He is toxic when he can't see Joe with another guy but he is not loyal himself. He is using Joe as a substitute. He sabotaged Joe's career because of this arrogance. These things make him horrible.

I just want to give shoutout to the creators of the show to represent novel correctly. There are some changes but it didn't destroy the story. This is what step by step and Kinn Porsche failed to do that they didn't do justice to the novel. I was disappointed with step by step as the novel was awesome but the creators destroyed it. And for KP, I wanted some of my favourite moments to be in the series. Here the story is neither moving speed or slow, it's just perfect. They covered the entire flashback in just 4 episodes. Brilliant.

In this episode Joe reads the news that Tong acted in the film and it became super hit. But in the novel Tong (Wang Yu Dong) didn't even act in the movie. That moron provoked Ming to keep Joe house arrest but in the end he did not even act in that movie. He just couldn't see his stuntman getting recognition so he played this evil game. AND POOR JOE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE. THAT'S SO UNFAIR

Variation in the novel regarding Joe reading news that occured in his absence. Spoilers down.

NEED TO CLAP FOR UP. He made me forget that he played cute innocent guy in the lovely writer. Nubsib will be shocked to see his P'gene like this.

He dies while performing the dangerous stunt on mountain as shown in the preview. Yes the story continues from episode 1. I think as per preview the episode will end with Joe's accident. From 5th epi, the story resume to present day. Yes Ming becomes miserable. He feels guilty.

Is there news like that? Is there any drama being made on this novel in Taiwan?

Does anyone have english translation of the novel? Please share it... Thanks

It was more like teenage crush for Ming.

No Ming was not in love with Joe at that time. He did that because he still loved Tong. It's when Joe went away to mountains for work he started missing him. Then he slowly realized his love. As you said Ming has flaws and he was going through a phase but sabotaging Joe's career was a big mistake. Yes Ming went through the pain because of his own actions as he deserved it. In the end after reading the novel you kind of forgive him.

He does . His redemption arc was good and at the end we forgive him.

Ming flaws are fine. I can't tolerate his actions but I understand he comes from a rich family with different upbringing. Also he made it clear there is no possibility of relationship. But I can't agree when he went out of the way to stop Joe working in a movie to just fufill tong's request.. It was Joe's dream. Ming should have not done that. Due to that Joe not only lost his job but all other chances to work in the industry. And he decided to take risky job leading to his death.

lol I just loved that scene in the novel. It was awesome to see him suffer.

Yeah that's because he and his father illegal money activity they got into I think. I wish he suffered for what did to Joe

In the novel Joe's mobile battery was dead. Ming wanted to tell that he is already in love with Joe and doesn't see him as Tong's substitute anymore. But before he could utter the word love, the call got disconnected.

Yes you are right. He is using both of them. It was clear in the novel

No nothing big happens to that MF.... Since he was already a part of the family, he didnt face major consequences. This is what I can recall. If Im wrong anyone can correct me.

Oh God may be I read the novel , my eyes are slightly wet already. My heart is aching for Joe. Im sure its going to be crying mess for me next week. One question was Ming sister this sweet in novel? It's been a long time I read the novel. Because as per my memory I don't think so. I like her so much here.
