before i start this, are the leads enemies? Hiding her identity while plotting against him or does she hide it but is acting sincere towards him? it seems the ml is already warming up to her and when it happens this early that means the angst later on is gonna be big. I hope the identity reveal does not involve her going against him out of a misunderstanding of him having the antitode goes then he'll be all (you've never been real with me and wanting to kill me) kinda hard to get back together from a betrayal like that

the issue is their love language is not the same. He shows it with actions and gift giving and she wants words of affirmation and actions. She already can tell that he's apologetic and likes her but she can't be sure without him being honest. it only comes across to her as him realising her worth and is a great ally to have back but not that he wants her back cz he loves her, just that it would benefit both. So her responses towards his actions as shown at the after party in ep 26 is being professional and thanking him for his assist but anything more would appear like she wants him back but HE HASN"T SAID ANYTHING and says he'll leave if she plays darts with her coworkers? He's just proving his emotional immaturity even more. He needs to take note of the 2nd lead's actions (he's annoying but at least he's been telling her his feelings and intent from the very beginning which she needs right now to rebuild trust) their love language does not need to be the same throughout their relationship but for the switch to happen and move forward, they both need to be on the same wavelength or nothing will come across. COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL RIGHT NOW.

is this a HE or sad/open? i'm not ready for another c-trauma

is this a HE or sad cz i'm not ready for another c-trauma

ok the dislike presented by muslims here is not on the fact that they used islamic/arabic stories but at the abhorrent twist to the story. Promoting arabic/islamic content is a an amazing feat only if it's informative or to allow society to know our culture without misinformation. But twisting it by making it a modern day fantasy is not something we can be proud of or happy about. the origin story might've been used to adapt a fictional one from but there is a reason Aladdin didn't use it the same way. Genie in a bottle is a Djin (highly taboo topic for us though not as much as using Iblis-the literal devil) which is why it didn't have backlash. This however was depicting a real life sacred story and twisting it for entertainment (lucifer was based on the biblical side more especially cz biblical names were used and not arabic AND IT WAS STILL RECIEVED NEGATIVELY BY MUSLIMS- they dared to have a human acting as GOD so yh the blasphemy was off the charts). It's already a story worth portraying as it is, why twist it? OR USE REAL INDIVISUALS? they could've made the ML a Djinn (a highly powerful one or whatever) and nameless angels or any other way and the story wouldn't have gotten a backlash. Just names are important and depicting a misunderstood DEVIL with a cute love story is highly satanic and WRONG PEOPLE WRONG. I'm all for the underdog who survives and wins the day, the devil is the last being to be used for that motto

honestly their problem is just their start. the chemistry, the likemindedness, the seeking love and attention; they're so in sync that a relationship is the best fit for them. today's kiss was proof; it was hunger for one another and so real. he just does not know how to court her cz it was always the other way around for him and she is just can't read his actions as love whenever he lets his mask slip cz he still has that mask! ugh honestly she clearly still loves him and once he just drops his smugness and be real, she's melt and take him back right away.

i really hope they don't go that route cz it doesn't add meaning to any arc. if it's for the leads' relationship, when the FL returns to the ML , she would love the boy as a mother (she already does) and if it's for the ML to develop hateful feelings for the aunt then he already kinda does so there really is no point to making the kid not blood-related cz the trauma of finding out ur brother is actually ur dad is enough, let alone finding out that u're not related to anyone (even if they end up adopting him) will just make him second guess his worth on a large scale (especially cz his blood related aunt would be the cause of all the pain). he'll never be the same no matter what and THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR SUCH A PLOT MORE SINCE IT ADDS NO DEPTH TO ANY CHARACTER BUT PAIN FOR THE KID (who's not even the lead so an origin story is not needed thank you very much)

exactly! it's refreshing

i already know what's going to happen but i still obsess over each episode and can't wait for the next one. that's how captivating lusi's acting is. honestly the ML too cz of his subtle facial changes (today's slight smile when his wife slapped the 2nd lead gave vibes of "she still wants me, she's just being tough") i can't wait when his tough indifferent guy acts falls when he realizes it's really over ( i honestly believe his harshness is just a mask but the moment they're themselves he'll be soft again (he claims it's acting but i think he was subconsiously himself for a while)

ok hear me out, the Ml's an ass and deserves a witch hunt but i think he's internally conflicted. he was genuinely surprised finding out she loved him and you could see him in pain at her meltdown but he's a rich guy with a guilty past so a big part of him is cynical enough to not believe anything she says (we saw her perspective so we know she loves him but how can he?) she hasn't asked for anything but she tried hard to be his wife and hide her past his initial interaction with her post revelation will be bad and cold (especially cz she still wanted to be with him after him being harsh), given time their dynamic might've changed but he still will be in control so they both needed the divorce to cut ties and have her reinvent herself for him to be able to see the real her cz in his mind the act never ended (you can't build something without a foundation) is he an asshole in general, yes . Does he need to seriously grovel to get her back, yes . But, he's still a proper ML and i approve of his treatment of the 2nd FL (can't send her to a mental institution cz he still needs her father's support but he doesn't fall in her arms just cz she's mental) just hope he gets retribution to set his cynicism aside and be the FL's knight again (with all the dark edges targeted at other and not her )

i hope rumors about the son not being his to be false. yes it would be better for the couple if he wasn't but i feel sorry for the kid during the fallout. it's not like they'll erase him from the family register or kick him out (worse plot device) so what's the point of making him not realated to the ML other than add more trauma. the FL is the type that if she decides to love the ML again, she'll fully commit with or without the added child

the "explaining the child's pain to the parents/ML" scene is so wholesome but so very sad. The Fl's going out of her way to be sincere towards everyone (even towards her sister who isn't even slightly empathetic to find out her sister's pain which she speaks of or why she went out of her way to cut ties("not that close to mom and dad" my ass-how blind was she not to notice how lonely she was (it wasnt just one problem or 2)) only to be treated coldly and misunderstood ("u didn't love me either" ) just cz she lied about her parents. if money was all she cared about she wouldn't have worked hard to make ppl happy or use her efforts at work

yh that's my question, what business? cz all she's done is hosting and no business ideas or foreshadowing of anything

regarding the new job the FL ends up doing with her sister and friends (maybe the nice assistant/collegue is one), what is that job exactly? all she's done is TV hosting

nvm that woman does not deserve our FL one bit. i really hope the ML becomes a paragon of green forestation to atone for his schemes and his family's treatment of her cz she deserves all the love she can get (yes she lied but with a mother in law like that i'd doubt my worth too and lie about my background but she has been sincere towards the ML from the star and even had him meet her most precious person)

oh i meant both their acts that's why i can't take him being sweet

Something I don't get is the mother in law's coldness towards the FL when her son's marrying her to cover up his scandal/child. kinda shameless? or maybe she's trying to save her from this marriage or giving her tough love as pointers for improvement. honestly i think she might become an ally/new motherly figure post the FL's change to her real self

when should we expect the truth bomb? cz i can't take anymore of the ml being a sweet and loyal husband when this has all been an act (on both their sides) so i need it all out in the open already so the angst can start and the lies stop

nope they butchered usagi's morality scale big time. i was even rooting for their survival only for arisu to dump her ass the moment she woke up (the fact that she didnt lose the baby was so unrealistic cz pregnancy that early is risky enough let alone a suicide attempt). also her emotional affair? yes her father's suicide affected her but trying to die with SOMEONE ELSE is next level, he even said " i thought we were alike and wanted the same thing- to die" while literally trying to survive the games, hypocrites much? defending that manipulative asshole in front of others is one thing but infront of arisu? That man cheated death for her and that's his treatment? sorry their reunion pissed me off cz i needed him to guilt trip her a bit (just be less of a green flag for a moment) while informing her of her pregnancy cz the moment she pushed arisu away from the wheelchair guy (he deserves no name for putting them in this situation just cz he listened to a stranger so he can get an in to the games then procedes to try to survive- just die already, wasnt that what u wanted? why fall for someone and come between the leads?) i stopped rooting for that relationship. the worst thing was how he needed to tell her "i'm never leaving you usagi" to reassure her when SHE NEEDED TO GROVEL or just be the more apologitic of the 2, not him. yes she was battling depression and yes she does not need to apologize for confiding in a psychologist for that but the moment she tried to survive the games and got her will back (pretty fast if u ask me) and regretted her decision, a sorry arisu was not enough. she was acting like buisness as usual towards arisu and i didn't like it. I preferred her season 1 and 2
