Dreamy

Am on their 20th ep, but am already pulling my hair, I despise 1st ML mother so much, gosh I can't stand her, what a scheming evil bitch!
And I like 2nd ML more than the 1st ML.
2nd ML life is just sad while the 1st ML born with silver spoon & everything has been served to him in a silver/ gold plate.

I feel like the 1st ML insisting his own feelings & trespassing his boundaries to his brother's fiancee even when he doesn't know where the FL's heart lies just yet or if she ever love him, it just doesn't sit right to me.
Also, I don't see their bond is deep enough to make their mounting obstacles lies in their future & their suffering gonna be worth it, rather not sold on the romance here.

I find LAR love story way more beautiful & I love Si Feng character way more than Xu Feng (pun intended), Si Feng knows how to respect the FL feelings, knows how to back off when he think the FL love another man & try his best to support her love and happiness even if it's hurting him inside, while here I almost can't stand Xu Feng, tho his mother evil deed & schemes is indeed play a bigger part in this.

The FL is better off without them, she can choose an easier love life & future, why bother having the troublesome esp if their love ain't even that deep (I don't think if she even love him), rather one sided from the 1st ML insisting feeling (hence it's hard for me to root for him as he bring even more baggage, his mom hatred to the FL).
I can't help but think with my brain since my heart doesn't buy their relationship just yet.

I like the bromance here way more than the romance, but I sense it's even set to doom 🙈

Aww you're welcome, yes I'm still rereading it from time to time too, loving the novel & can't wait for the drama to air ❤🥰

Yeay! Glad to hear I've got companion in this desert land 🙌 🤣😆😆

No, Qi Yan died & there's nothing indicate he is living outside the palace. Many were speculated like that when they watch the last ep without sub, but it's all clear (that he died) after watching it with sub.

Prince Guang himself wasn't even aware Qi Yan is that sick, when he find out it's already too late, he's even upset to the divine healer to have this arrangement with Qi Yan (counter QLZ carefree mind poison with highly dose medicine which later led him to his death due to internal organ damage) behind his back.

As for the Yu Er smile brightly at the end, it's because she has promised Qi Yan that she will live happily for the rest of her life on his behalf, so her smile is only to show/ indicate that she's fulfilling his wish for her & is happy by the end.

Whoa, I didn't expect it'd be like that, thank you

What happen in the movie me before you? (Haven't got to watch that)

Painfully waiting for his upcoming drama to air 🤧 Southwind, Deep lurk, Agarwood
I need them to be released asap, I want more drama with Cheng Yi as main ML 😭

Now I'm in desert land without his drama on my cw list🍂🍂🍂😂

Yes, lol, if he's been married then his former wife & baby mostlikely were died as well.
How his nightmare dream being taken is rather odd tbh. It doesn't align well with the other hint they give.

Was the hand that caught him refer to / use as a metafore of his own bloody hand (responsible to other person's death) or was that refer to the hand of the deceased himself.

I guess we can only wait & see more hint with more ep 😂

The man is having similiar hairstyle to Du Shik so it's actually tricky.
Like you said, it can be too dark but we need to remember as well how it can also be served as the final test for Hye Jin, as formerly she can't accept her father marriage, him being once married maybe served to be a final plot point of her journey to learn something that she can't accept before.

But some said that him being once married will be relevant to the story & be her journey/ lesson to grow as a person, as formerly she can't accept her dad remarriage & even praise Chun Jae's daughter to be a lot wiser than her.

The man in the photo seem to be wearing the suit that Du Shik is about to throw tho? I posted the link above.
So higher chance the man is Du Shik himself.

Here's Seon ho photo that I was referring to 👆👆

Hmm, interesting take, it's plausible that he's somewhat guilty to the death of his friend (was it when he served his military enlistment) & felt guilty to his friend's family (wife & son).
But... hmmm... I find it's somewhat weird as well to carry another household family photo around, unless.. maybe his friend left it to Du Shik?

Also, since I see some photos of Seon Ho wearing his suit & carrying the actor baby, my mind may hv failed me & it turns out to be nothing/ actors just having their time taking pictures on set, lol

Yup, she's a realistic person & a product of the current environment.
I can relate to some of her take as well, but she need to filter some of her words, or wording it better 😂

What do you guys think about his photo?
I think it's his baby & his former wife photo because idk, the photo doesn't give older photo vibes to his grandfather & kindergarten self photo.
The black suit he's about to thrown away might be his former wedding suit.

Also, idk but seeing the teenage ver of Du Shik in the flashback, he might be isn't as bright & well socialized like the current Du Shik.
So maybe it's not too farfetched if the neighbor never heard about Du Shik being married after he graduated from SNU?
Esp if later it's ended as tragedy.
He might coming back to Gyeong Jin to heal himself & purposely tiring himself out by basically doing everything & learning everything, helping other people so that he won't have any time left to be depressed & think about his past/ guilt.

Du Shik past self might be similiar to the current Hye Jin but he learned the harsh way & become his current self rn.
That's why maybe he can't seem to leave Hye Jin alone & help her to be more socialized/ learned her mistake as he see a part of him in her.

Their ending is not ambiguous at all tho? It's a clear sad ending to me, he died & that's for sure. The leads will only hv their happy ending in their next life/ their next drama South Winds Knows My Mood 😄

It isn't abnormal to think that way, but some things are meant to be left unsaid otherwise like what you've suggest, she's no better than her collegue friend at that wedding, she's hurting others just like what they did to her there.

For instance, to think a person isn't good looking is different with saying it outloud to the person at how "ugly" he is, there's some boundaries need to be set & common ground as to why certain things are meant to be left unsaid.

She can use a better terms to say her point to draw her line, ie. every person is different, I'm not like you who's born/ meant to be socialized, I prefer to have my owntime, alone, even if it means you'll see me as an uncivil/ unsocialized person, so I'd appreciate if you can respect my choice & give me some space, or say how their personality aren't compatible & took a distance from him on her own, etc.
Instead, she choose to point out at how nosy he is, how he has a different social class, how she's out of his league & so on.
I mean, I understand why she's been all defensive, but I won't acknowledge/ deemed what she did is right nor a proper way to do.

True, tbh knowing her character, I find Du Shik is pretty much all set to doom whatever reaction he gave to her, if he take the incident seriously, I'm pretty much sure she'll be throwing her jab too how he's getting all ahead of himself & she's out of his league, why take such lil' incident as a big deal & so on.

She's been caught in her most vulnerable state so her spikes/ thorn is set at max, whatever reaction he give to her, I see no better outcome coming for him 😂

While I get her character, I do hope Hye Jin can lower her defense/ thorn for quite a bit, because ngl, since the Du Shik that we know is already suffered from traumatic experience, so whenever she throw her thorns, it feels like witnessing a stab to an already injured person, I was like ouch ouch
😂🔪*bleeds

Yes, agree, DS is actually giving her an easy escape route so that she won't get herself embarassed but she's been taking it all wrong & took that as him belittling her feelings when actually it's never be the case.
