So I came back to say that the chemistry between NAMNUNG and SUNNY clearly wasn’t fake on the show. Sadly, the choices at the end were limited, and NAMNUNG didn’t actually come out for either Sunny or Time. I can’t really blame NAMNUNG; she was probably afraid of rejection and uncertain about SUNNY’s feelings.
After the show, Sunny said that she and TIME realized they’re better off as best friends. I also get the impression that something might be going on between TIME and TOD, though I’m not completely sure.
As for NAMNUNG and SUNNY, I honestly think they might be dating. There have been a few live videos outside the show where their interactions feel… a little too telling. Something definitely seems different between them.
Lastly, you can watch “LOVE(X) Mini Series: Roommates In Love,” which is currently airing now.
I just watched episode 10, and this is how it played out: – When SUNNY was called, only two people came out (Joy and Matheus). Sunny didn’t choose either of them. Namnung didn’t come out at all. – When TOD was called, only two people came out (Mill and Kong). Tod didn’t choose either of them. – When TIME was called, only two people came out (Sunny and Tod). Time, unsurprisingly, chose Sunny.
That was the end.
I am happy Namnung didn't come out for Time or Sunny. She deserves better. If there’s a Season 2, I can say with confidence I won’t bother watching.
She tried to force the ML to sleep with her and ignores him repeatedly saying No. (If the genders were switched…
“Force” is a very strong word you’d be better off saying “seduce.” Did she tie him up? I’m starting to think some people are overly prejudiced. I have seen reverse situations where it gets much worse of how the ML's in some CDrama's treat the FL's, yet people still swoon over it. Thankfully, when the stories progress the ML treats the FL nicer.
She is too self reliant...I can understand that at the beginning of the drama, but towards the ending when ML…
You might just have to blame the poor writing in the last five or six episodes.
The ML clearly became more emotional toward the end. Yes, it was his job to investigate, solve, and decide, but he was suddenly dragged into a family he didn’t even know he had; discovering a brother while everyone around him was scheming. I fail to see how the FL made things worse. If anything, she helped resolve his family issues. His emotional exhaustion stemmed mainly from his father, not her.
And let’s not forget that the ML also helped the FL deal with several issues within the Rong family.
Lastly, the FL comes from a matriarchal family, which is practically unique in their world, especially since patriarchy remains the dominant social system. This alone makes it very different from the usual Chinese dramas we’re used to. We’ve seen countless dramas where MLs treat FLs poorly/a bit bad until they eventually “change,” and no one questions it; red flags are painted green, or viewers look for tragic backstories to justify the ML’s behaviour and explain why he did what he did.
If anything, the only thing the FL may be at fault for is not fully sharing all of her plans with the ML.
Some people are calling the FL a red flag, but I’m genuinely confused. So far, I haven’t seen any reasonable criticism; only prejudice. If the issue is communication, both the ML and FL share that flaw. Did the FL harm anyone? I think not.
Love (X) will be the death of me 🤣🤣 Just finished watching episode 8 and they are playing with my heart 🤣🤣 Heart is always beating...📈📉 when TIME, SUNNY, TOD and NAMNUNG are the main focus.
Allow me to dissent. Grandma doesn't know AT ALL how the world can be brutal to the women, otherwise she wouldn't…
You’re overthinking this, as if you can read the grandmother’s mind. You’ve heard one story and decided you fully understand her trauma and what she wants for her grandchildren. That’s not fair. I seem to have heard the RONG family has/had several grandfathers and they let them go If I am not mistaken (I wonder what happened).
The grandmother gave the FL a choice. She knows all kinds of men with different personalities will appear in the FL’s/RONG's sisters lives. Did she force her to choose Mr. Yan or anyone else? No. She simply wanted the FL to marry, because remaining unmarried forever is not realistic in that era. The grandmother is far from perfect, but she has done well so far in her role. Frankly, imagine how unbearable it would be if she were written as constantly irritating or unreasonable. She has managed to hold power until now and protect the RONG family, the only matrilocal family shown in the drama. Do people really think it’s easy to stand against officials or prestigious clans? Can anyone just do that without consequences or political influence trying to topple their power?
The RONG family’s affairs are largely in the FL’s hands. The grandmother only intervenes in extreme cases that require her authority. Power struggles within families, especially over inheritance or leadership, are nothing new in C-dramas or in history.
That said, I do agree there was poor writing in episode one. The abduction of the women, including the FL, and the grandmother showing no concern made no sense at all, especially considering the FL is effectively the head of the RONG family.
Back to the grandmother. She is elderly and has lived through countless hardships. She has every right to educate her children based on experience. In ancient times, people were framed, killed, or worse, even raped, because of naivety. Thankfully, one of the RONG sisters (FML) is intelligent enough to survive. The RONG family has been prestigious for years, which naturally means many enemies. Outside a matrilocal system, plenty of men still cling to patriarchy. Look at Mr. Yang, someone forceful, controlling, and arrogant. You can easily imagine how the family would have been destroyed if someone like him had married In.
As for the ML, yes, he’s a good match, but he also has many enemies. We know this as the audience, but he hasn’t been fully honest and has been acting secretive. That lack of transparency can easily cause problems and give villains opportunities to interfere. The RONG family knows nothing about his background, so if accusations or suspicions arise against the ML, they are justified in questioning or challenging him until the FL explains everything. And honestly, does she even know everything about him?
Love your sense of humour.

There are plenty of dramas out there that are ML-centered or have equal focus on both leads.
So if this one isn’t for you, feel free to move on and watch those instead. No one is forcing you.
– When SUNNY was called, only two people came out (Joy and Matheus). Sunny didn’t choose either of them. Namnung didn’t come out at all.
– When TOD was called, only two people came out (Mill and Kong). Tod didn’t choose either of them.

That was the end.
I am happy Namnung didn't come out for Time or Sunny. She deserves better.

I will for sure re-watch as many times as I can.
Just finished watching episode 8 and they are playing with my heart 🤣🤣

So calm down.
