There's a scene in episode 7 when she's in a flashback with her deceased mother where she's like a human mannequin! Just the most stilted acting. No wonder her looks are played up so much as she's all fur coat and no knickers.

The supporting cast are much better, even some of the servants.

Noble idiocy strikes again! Loathe that trope.

How is someone who falsely imprisoned her, took away her martial arts, murders her family. then childhood friend in front of her and rapes her twice NOT a villain? 😕

Very true! It differs all the time, so I usually skip to a minute up to a minute and a half to see where the intro ends.

Skip to one minute, seven seconds in to avoid spoilers in the intro for this drama.

Well said. I thought I was going crazy for thinking that the ML was wooden and bland, but nope I was seeing it for what it is.
There should be a spark between them, like in Rising Feather but there's nothing there from his side.
Such a shame when the actress is so skilled but she's not got someone oppossite her on the same level to play off of. Like listening to a duet but only one singer can sing 😞
These dramas have such similar clichés that strong chemistry is barest minimum of things to expect but this has me grasping at straws, looking for a secondary couple to ship. What a shame.

😂

Weed is illegal in China 😉

I agree with you that the old title was better.

I don't blame you. She also tends to portray a lot of Mary Sue type characters so that puts me off as well.
Imagine possible improvement to acting only once middle age has set in? 😲

'A bit' deranged in the head is an understatement to say the least!
Guy is giving her love bites and kissing her against her will.
I will agree that this dynamic is strangely addictive, though in the vein of those alpha bad boy meets good girl tropes.

IKR?! It's like they come out of the same playbook😒

The Glory inspired or did this one's book come first?

MTE! I said 'Korea's version of Elite' when I saw the trailer.
Anyone know the song used in the trailer, btw?

'Also, I had no idea they had breast implants in ancient Korea.'

🤣Said the same thing about Empire of Lust!

Just seen the trailer and she does seem childish, which isn't what I expected.

IKR?! Accurate!
I'm seeing this in The Substitute Princess Love (suffering, more like) and she doesn't behave at all like the backstory they gave her.
Honestly, even fanfic writers do better characterisation 🤦‍♀️
Main times I see stronger FLs is when they're villains, guest stars or leads in a much shorter drama (like less than five minutes per episode).

I agree that he could've let her stay! It's getting so dragged with their dynamic out that I'm tired.
It also seems a 180 from how he was when he didn't know she was his bride, she carried his wounded self to safety, treated him with her own pricey medicine originally meant for her and how he was loyally waiting for her to return from fetching water for him.
Least he could do is let her stay.

Some people strangely rate a series before they've finished it and also overrate series as well.
I've seen mediocre and worse than that series get eights and nines just because it ended happily.

What do you mean by 'black water', btw? 😕

I never stated it as a fact, btw 😕
Majority of people? About Disney declining? It depends who's asked as there's highly viewed videos bashing them on YouTube.
