the writer just suddenly remembered his root as a cdrama writer at that ep. some annoying part must be included to establish his legacy.

i mean ep 18 19. after 5 years of separation and endurance, a little trick of slipping tiny paper that say 'i am in a secret mission. pretend not knowing me' would suffice and not so unrealistic at all. but the urge to create conflict between main couple rather than fighting common enemy together, wins.

they still go 'i am not communicating with you to protect you, so we have reason to raise a conflict between us later. why would we find some way to communicate if we can create misunderstanding and miscommunication?'. can't raise my hope too much if it's about cdrama 😏

hahaha, so it's not just me who feel ep 17 has something familiat in cdrama 🤨

thank you 🙂👍

which ep is it? cause i'm putting this on hold right now after that acknowledging of fake merit. really need some motivation to look for, cause my 'cdrama tropes' tolerance is so damn low.

i do hope so. hope the director/screenwriter keep sober untill the end, and don't pull 'typical cdrama' jutsu later for 'sophisticated emotional impact' sake (which i hate so much)

i'm at ep 17 and really like this drama, feels different from 'typical' costume cdrama (and it's a rare thing). but why do i feel like 'typical' costume cdrama is on the way? please, don't be. i've already praises this drama so much and don't want to feel deceived 🙏

it makes cdramas which drag misunderstanding for 8 eps straight, looks ridiculous.

i'm just at ep 14 and really like this drama. the director/screenwriter know which part to cut short, and which part to emphasize. at least in my personal opinion, the director/screenwriter understand what would make the viewers keep engaged without the urge to fast forward. ofcourse the actors/actresses, not just the main lead, are also good. the screenplays are also deserved praise 👍

because not giving happy ending makes them feeling superior in writing story.

are there nobody sober enough in production team to consider 'this kind of last part won't be appreciated so much by the viewers'?

so many opportunities to drag the story with misunderstanding, but they writer chose not to take the obvious temptation, easier materials to prolong the story, and stirred it other ways beautifully. i really like the choice they made for the plot direction and pace. this drama is viewers's satisfaction oriented.

they are getting better in ruining last past of (c)drama and failing viewer's satisfaction. 👍

more like a weed ritual for last half cdrama. happens almost regularly.

the ending, they just have to make it 'do not make a cdrama ending in line with what more preferred by the viewers. leave a room for a little disappointment so they'll remember'

well, the real life has already given me the both side. so, i prefer more dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphin in imaginary life like a drama. it's better benefit for my mental health and blood pressure. there're reasons why this drama get 6.x here, not merely because of fan war. maybe one of it is because the majority of international viewers are just like me, looking for something entertaining, not distressing. 🙂

how can 'enjoyable' and 'angst' can be put together? 'entertaining' and 'distressing'? what mentality should you wear before watching this type of drama?

the ML Is just cdrama-ing

aah, 'shine on me' ruins me.
