🤣🤣🤣 I feel you! I kept trying to get a couple people to watch along with me and they were like "I'll watch when it's OVER don't spoil it" 🥲. Feel free to message here or private and respond when not brain dread

LMAO I absolutely agree that those last 4 episodes were almost like a tacked on set of special episodes rather than a full continuation of the original plot 🤣 - I mean that's where you got the SiL and grandmother doing a COMPLETE 180, 2 comically done "I'm dead.... no I'm not" scenes, and ALLLLL the actual intimacy where they cranked it from "tease the audience with chemistry and banter" to "OMG THIS IS 🔥"

okay! I'll give it a try then! THANK YOU!

I caught on as much with the whole truce and I had his trust because I didn't strike first so it was justified conversation.

I know! I was Sooooo suprised aside from the frustration I felt from the delay they had uploading the English subs near the end... I wanted then NOW.

Oh Im sure she plots and plans behind the scenes, manages to create 1 war and brokers 2 peaces with neighboring countries etc.... all while being "exiled"

Oh okay, you did answer my question just in the opposite direction 😅🤣 - I realized I worded it badly. I didn't watch this one because I read the comments so I skipped around and then to the end so I DID know how this one ended and was wondering how the one with YYT ended because some comments there were saying it wasn't toxic but I didn't trust it since I was looking at this one and going HOW could they change it THAT much 😅?

😅 No I haven't read any of these novels so I was just guessing since it says part 2 (I also didn't want to spoil anything about what her last line was but if you've read the novel then IS her last line the basic premise for what would happen in the second half?

It depends on what you want out of the story I suppose. The beginning scene was ridiculous (I honestly clipped it in a couple spots and laughed) but after that it's not clownish. I gave it an 8 because it fit my criteria of: "mostly" coherent plot with a more unique than not storyline and interesting characters (specifically I enjoyed the FL father/daughter relationship and the ML relationship with his brothers).

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well I'm off work now and have tomorrow off so bring it so we dont clutter up the comment section AGAIN 🤣🙈 🎉

Not sure where you are but the easiest way to explain it is when she says "I did it" he took the "she killed her" to mean more than just a literally definition of the FL going up to the woman and stabbing her or poisoning her or personally being the one to run her over.
This woman lied, which caused him to not be able to bring the "real" killer to justice in the 1st episode which leads to the snowball when he starts to feel sorry for her after the sword scene but overhears how crazy she is when she's talking to her maid. After THAT conversation it became a matter of "what's actually real and what's she trying to make me THINK is real?".
It will actually only get even MORE confusing for him later but he WILL drop the overt declaration that SHE killed his love.

By all that is HOLY.... They may have teased that chemistry for LONG time... but they GAVE.IT.TO.US..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Look.... we're not even going to TALK about 21 when we just got 22 and 23. Until the plot started plotting again for a moment there I thought we were just going to get 4 episodes of slice of life married life and *cough" MARRIED life....

They haven't said for sure but it's a normal drama so it "should" be between 35 and 45 minutes per episode.

It's a KalosTV one so it keeps getting taken down while it's exclusive. The English title is Forced Sweets. If you keep googling the title you might find a Dailymotion link before it gets taken down again.

I saw this one pop up on YouTube the other day and ended up skipping because the plot made me too sad. Did you watch the Yue Yu Ting version also? Does it end the same?

I had to try and remind myself that this girl is NOT simple and to NOT be dragged into her game when she was crying after he left one of their conversations and she said " 'I won't let her down'. So you'll let me down." 🫂

The subs are fairly decent. Words/phrases are occasionally repeated when the line breaks but I haven't found it outrageous or unable to understand what's happening. I'd put it at a 90%+ for readability/understandability. Easy enough to figure out any slightly awkward phrases. Biggest issue right now is that they are behind on the subtitles in general. Eps 17, 18, 19 are out by not English subbed as of tonight.

This is technically a "Part 1" but the story ends in a spit where if they never actually made the Part 2 it wouldn't be a major issue. All the issues of this story are resolved and it can be assumed the Part 2 would be a "What happens next to the family" type thing.
The FL is the star here by far. The ML is a bit of a puppy and cute but their isn't a "lot" of romance, instead this is very much a political scheming story where the FL is working to stabilize her and her future husband's family with the knowledge that eventually her husband's family WILL be exiled while trying to change as much of the future events as she possibly can so that they're in her favor.
Admittedly, I could absolutely see this being made into a longer series with the political power plays given more screentime rather than sometimes reduced to a line of dialog from one character to another.

Thank You! I finally watched it on dramafren but luckily that person gave the direct link because that site in general is trashware site that tries to stop you from using even an ad/malware blocker if you click anything from the homepage. 🙄
I saw the links starting to pop up on my watch YouTube recommended viewing this morning and had already saved the first one you linked below to my rewatch playlist 🤣
