This is an epic drama with one huge flaw. The second fl was killed in episode 2 and the ml was over it by episode 3.
Why is this a problem? The second fl is deaf and the male lead is written as being dead from birth, but somehow still living amongst those who have actual beating hearts.
This kinda ruined the entire drama because it sends the message that in popular Chinese dramas, viewers prefer watching a female lead who is not handicapped. Even though the male lead is walking around without a beating heart, the second fl is still not good enough for him simply because she is deaf. She is brave, beautiful and kind, but she is still killed off because she has one flaw.
This is how patriarchy oppresses women. Men are allowed to be imperfect and women cannot be less than perfect.
I actually like the female lead character very much, but the fact that she is used to replace the second female lead whose inly mistake is being written as a deaf person, ruins the love story for me altogether.
I am upset because i expect more from a Chinese production. Chinese people are polite and this starting storyline is a mistake and unnecessary. If the script writer wants to show the male lead is compassionate and caring, then Suma's chracter could have been replaced by a best friend or sister.
