She was at least funny in earlier episodes. Now that she realizes Erlang cares for her somewhat, she is demanding…
I honestly didn't see the need of her from the beginning; other then the sham marriage. After that the script could have just hid her away somewhere; not made her ultra annoying and in the way like a throw rug. This drama just doesn't need romance. When these extra parts are thrown in, it throws an otherwise strong dynamic off kilter. Because there's simply not enough time for it. If you look at the genre of this series, it's historical and mystery. It has thriller components.
To be honest I wish they had not gone with any romance in this and stuck with the mystery. I was not thrilled…
I agree. This would have been just fine without the Romantic aspect of any kind. Like even the subtlety of GBZ and SY doesn't really work because there's literally no time to be sweet and cute. This isn't that type of drama and it takes away from the strength of it. There's a pack of murderers on the loose trying to take down the empress and so far they're ahead of the game. Adding that BS melodrama just takes away from the effectiveness of an otherwise very strong team dynamic. I mean WITM has three leads and no one is romantically involved and it's doing just fine.
Lord, if I hear Liu Ran shriek "Erlang" one more time, I may kick her ass into another costume drama. Why the hell did they create such a lackluster and annoyingly clingy love interest for him? Her voice is like nails on chalkboard. I get shy and uncomfortable but dear lord, shut up! 🤦🏻♀️
