the intro song "She" by Liu Yuning. never skip it, it speaks to my heart and idk why nobody's talking about it 🎶 the character growth i'm still waiting on for the FL and ML. i know it's coming and i'm sitting here patiently 🧎♀️ the groveling and wife chasing arc that hasn't even started yet 💀 he's going to have to work for it and i'm already seated the friendships?? so beautiful actually, no notes ✨ and lastly. Luke the Samoyed 🐶 yes the dog has the same name as the ML, no i will not explain, he's my baby.
Ending should be the least of your worries but the toxicity in their relationship. God it's toxic and it's burning…
Imagine this is the watered down version of him, if they would have adapted the book version you would have dropped it in heart beat and may be even boycotted the drama. I see some comments defending him lmao. Those people need prayers if they dont see the toxicity, they really think concent if everything lmao.
lol I don't think a drama rating is based on the health of the main leads relationship.
Sorry but this made me laugh out loud 😭. Who rates a TV show based on the relationship of the leads, next they will rate like a 2 because the villain is a killer😭.
How is this drama this high? It does have a good cast and acting, but what about other parameters: the characters,…
LMAO bestie you watched 18 episodes 😭 that's not "frustrating," that's the show having you in a chokehold also you're rating the characters not the drama lol. them not trusting each other IS the plot, if they communicated properly by year 4 we'd have zero episodes and you'd be watching them grocery shop 💀you literally said the cast and acting are good. that's the rating right there 🤷♀️ being annoyed at fictional people for 18 hours straight is not a writing flaw, it's them cooking.
He didn't offer her any workplace promotion in exchange of her body. He didn't even kiss her when she was drunk.…
They are nothing alike not even close but i still dont like how their relationship started, How he talks and the whole FWB relatiosnhip. Love like that is not worth it.
wait, who is calling SZT the red flag?? literally every comment I've seen has been dragging the ML lol. but okay since we're here, let me say my piece. novel Luan Nian was a straight up red flag, no debate needed. and honestly I think the drama deliberately watered him down because the production knew a fully book-accurate LN would get the show dropped or review bombed. they wanted angst that keeps you watching, not angst that gets boycotted, so they sanded off his worst edges and kept just enough sting to sell the tension. that's a business decision, not character growth.
but even this diluted version is still toxic if you actually pay attention. halving her YEAR END bonus because the second lead picked up her phone?? that's not professionalism, that's abuse of power. he used his authority as her boss to punish her for personal jealousy, and work consequences should never be about your feelings. then the "cheap and docile" comment when he saw her with Alex, plus the whole "flowers don't suit you" thing, that's textbook negging. you chip away at someone's self worth until they feel lucky you even want them. stack that with the constant criticism, zero affirmation, emotional withholding, and the way he reframes his cruelty as "pushing her to grow," and that's manipulation and low key gaslighting that a lot of viewers aren't clocking because he's attractive and the show frames it as romantic tension.
and yes, judge drama LN and novel LN separately, adaptations are their own thing and drama LN is softened by design. as for why SZT couldn't just walk away, psychologically it tracks completely. there's a massive power imbalance, he controls her paycheck, her projects, her reputation in an industry where everyone talks. then there's intermittent reinforcement, that cycle of coldness followed by rare moments of tenderness is exactly how a trauma bond forms, your brain gets addicted to chasing the highs. she's 22, alone in a new city, professionally and emotionally dependent on the same man. leaving isn't just a breakup for her, it's blowing up her whole life. so no, she's not the red flag. she's the one trying to survive dating one.
There is not a single second in this drama where any of the characters are "wearing no makeup".Going to…
Loooool I know, I know 😂 they’re always wearing makeup in dramas. I meant heavy makeup like strong eye shadows, contour, etc. I’ve been watching dramas for like eight years now, trust me, I’m not that naive 😅English isn’t my first language, so something might’ve gotten lost in translation. All love!
Watching How Dare You, I couldn’t help but notice how naturally beautiful she looks when she is wearing no makeup, no layers, no accessories. Just effortless, honest beauty. Sometimes simplicity really shines the brightest.
Why do i feel dissapointed when i dont even like rebirths. ifeel cheated. Now i wont be able to invest in this drama emotionally since the premise is messed up.
here is the synopsis i read. In the last life, Chu Yu escaped a marriage granted by an imperial edict for the sake of Gu Chu Sheng, and traveled thousands of miles, but still ended up dying of illness in a foreign country. When she was reborn at the age of fifteen, Chu Yu was on her way to escape from marriage. She resolutely turned around and married into the gate of the Wei family. She knew that the Wei family was about to die in battle, leaving only a fourteen-year-old son, Wei Yun. She also knew that Wei Yun would support the Wei family, would become the one ruling over everyone the prince of Zhenbei who was known as “Living Yama”. However, this part of the road would be like hell, and the Wei family had walked too tragically, with too much suffering. She secretly vowed that she would not repeat the same mistakes and waste away a lifetime. She would be no one else than the first lady of the Wei family, and accompany Wei Yun through these difficult times, so that that the Wei family’s hundred years old loyalty would no longer be insulted.
Honestly, during the war death scenes in episode 3 I was supposed to feel something, but I just couldn’t. I kept thinking, “come on, let’s get to the rebirth part already.” 😅 This is why I don’t like reading Chinese drama synopses — they always spoil the twist, so you already know all these deaths will be undone once the time-travel or rebirth part kicks in lol.
At first I honestly thought Haoming was going to emotionally manipulate Yan Yan — but lol, turns out I’m the one being manipulated 😭. How did they make me hate him so much, and now suddenly I’m ready to forgive him after everything he put her through?! The scriptwriter and actors really did their job too well 👏🔥
fanglei really thinks she got a chance with a man who just got married lmaoo
There is something Cardi B said in her interview lol. Men respect the ring, women dont. when would back off after they see the wedding band but women...xd. No hate by the way.
to the novel reader too, does he manipulate her into doing things his own way, like is he behind her not getting the host job, i dont emotional manipulations and such.
For those of you who are traumatized by romantic endings and are already jumping to conclusions about whether…
i actually dont care about the end my main thing is the means, i really dont like the saying the end justifies the means. If its toxic am out of there no looking back.
guys is this like a psychological control thing where people play mind games, i hate such books or dramas lol, its triggering. Can someone let me know. Than you.
