The preview for next episodes; really? I’m guessing he’s helping her out coming up but she’s still doubting…
I actually don’t mind her doubting him. Even if they cleared up the misunderstanding, I would still be mad if I were her. He didn’t give them a chance even after how honest she was with him about wanting to get revenge together. It’s not his style but I do want to see him grovel a bit.
With the stress level rising for Su Mu Zhe, I appreciate the comic relief provided in ep 24 by the new couple. The new guy is cute but his styling, ahem, a bit like Tarzan.😁 Looks like YZJ is looking out for SMZ and KJ is still their shipper but I’m glad that she is cold towards them. I want him to work for her love! Next two episodes will be angsty. Will SMZ lose more people that are important to her? Confirmed at least one 😭 but I hope the other will survive. This show is killing off characters way too easily…
Excellent movie - the cinematography, the effects, the acting, romantic cliches done well. All the men were attractive, especially the ML of course. His style was amazing! What I loved most though was the FL’s discovery of herself and how she turned out to be so powerful. It was so fast-paced but the romance was believable and engaging. I hope there is a second season for the drama version and we get to see the two leads again!
Eps 22 & 23 - That’s my girl! Showing everyone how it’s done and getting the upper hand…then my heart broke for her again as she reminisced. I don’t like the angsty parts but they certainly showcase the actors’ talents! ZLS is so good with her expressions! More angst coming up based on the previews 😢
Cui shi jiu is quite pitiful, she’s just a typical weak woman who doesn’t have a choice but selling herself
So she was repaying him out of gratitude? Wow, for her to do that, she must be really broken since it seemed so out of character compared to her usual defiant self.
Ep 22 - The scene with everyone from the Astronomy Bureau running in to save the day was more hilarious than heroic to me :D The background music reminds me of Stephen Chow's style movies...

But that's what I don't understand. The Zheng guy was not forcing her or showing any expectation of her succumbing to him yet. It's like she made the decision on her own, thinking that she had no other choice. I thought after she saw DW during the rain scene, and saying that DW finally saw YZJ's true colors, she would collaborate with DW. I was expecting a "recovery" arc from her. So I was really surprised to see her make that choice without any pressure from anyone
Most surprising thing about ep 21 for me is Cui Shi Jiu’s actions. I’m not sure about that Zheng guy - right now he’s definitely morally very grey. Yet, I’m excited to see how DW is going to work with him based on the previews. I still have a soft spot for YZJ but I want DW to succeed despite him going against her! I want ZJR to come soon too, create some jealousy stress for YZJ and DW needs more friendly faces around her!
We need to add a romance tag to this show because the show is doing well showing the progression between the ML and FL. Despite not being the main focus, there was enough to make me believe how and why the ML fell for the FL and why it made sense for her to respond.
Fun Korean language fact from ep 10: If someone offers to send you to Hong Kong,
Ep 18 was sad but not because they are on opposite sides. They will be in ep 20.
Not sure if you already watched ep 20 but what you saw was essentially what happened. So let's see if he will in public pretend to try to get rid of her business-wise but in private protect her. In a perverse way, I do want her to end up working with Zheng, and making it difficult for YZJ for revenge (yes yes unwarranted, I know but at a minimum, out of spite for being so cruel to her), and then end up with them taking the Zheng family down together.
So what do you want him to in that situation? Despite knowing all the dangers you want him to keep DW with him.…
Yes, he's always trying to make her stronger, but given how their relationship developed, his latest actions were not consistent. After they got together, he willingly agreed for them to take on their revenge together, and their communication was open and honest. Perhaps almost losing her once clouded his judgement and made him more paranoid but 1) He already saw that by leaving her behind, he did not keep her safe so he might as well keep her with her. 2) She has always been independent regarding her dreams and just because he is with her, does not mean that she cannot start her business. They have gone through so much, and by now, she has learned to survive and know how harsh the world can be. How much does she need to endure?
I've seen enough dramas to know that this trope is not the only way to achieve the two points you highlighted. This show decided to go this direction, and that's totally fine. It leads to DW's next arc, which I very much look forward to.

You know, Do Hyeon does not come across as inexperienced. He was pretty smooth :)
