no, the audiences don't love it. maybe for the first reason.
i call it recycle bin tropes. it includes amnesia, denial, noble idiocy, self-stupid sacrifice, breakup after being together, time leap separation, holding proper explanation, stupid forced misunderstanding, etc.
I didn’t feel that the ML was the FL’s second choice… felt that the ML was the FL’s soulmate ❤️and…
i'm currently watching si jin. there's a love triangle i think, but the main leads don't sway. this kind of trope is still in boundary of my tolerance 🙂

i was just saying about my preference when a drama put romance in it. I'm watching a drama to get entertained. when it starts give me a feeling of annoyed, for me, it means it has failed its purpose as an entertainment. so, people just have different preference and tolerance about dramas 🙂

if he's not the first choice/crush, the best he can be is the second. this kind of romance trope doesn't work for me. I'm fine with any-angle romance, as long as as the main leads don't have change of hearth. an Ex is okay as a backstory, but no-no as the main plot flow.
So, the ML is a FL's second choice ?. it's definitely ENTERTAINING. just like LLTG, for couples of first episodes, the romance went the wrong direction for the sake of character development. it was ENTERTAINING to see .... NOT! -_-
I know what "noble idiocy" trope is, and I also hate it, but this drama ain't it.
I'm just extending my own understanding of noble idiocy : "any pretending act based on one side decision, while being miserable in the back, when 'talkiing' goes out of the window, in the name of protecting/saving the other side, while disregarding the opinion of the one being saved/protected, especially in ruth and hurtful ways, which exercised in many costume chine drama, to drive the story and create emotional effects, sometime comes in tandem with 'amnesia', no matter whether the viewers would like it or not, as long as the job's finished" 😁
it's a good drama. but for the second part, i can't stop telling to the ML, "you're such a hero of noble idiocy. chinese writers must be like you so much"
