And also add in that all the male characters that come across her, fall in love with her. That somehow guarantees her safety till her good husband comes to rescue her. If only ML didn't marry her, he could have minded his own business keeping the north safe and all his generals alive and with him.

I am disappointed with that ending. The story did the Hu sibling generals bad. One died to the scheme of the third prince and the other died while protecting the third prince. ML wanted to get justice for the soldiers who died in that conspiracy, but in the end, the third prince is still the emperor?

I guess, only the lives of the nobles matter, in the end, the soldiers were the real pawns in the power game of the nobles. I can't help rolling my eyes when I remember FL being shocked and complaining that she was a mere pawn in the power struggle of the palace.

I think that the Qin family was facing a financial crisis and facing bankruptcy, so they had Qin Mu Xuan get involved with Gu Zi Jin and then threaten Gu family to do acquisition of the Qin company (S1 episode 4). But I have no clue if drugs were used.

Lu Man knows that her sister was pregnant (after the accident) and that He Xiya proposed to her and that her sister disagreed and that they both had a quarrel before the accident. She tells it to Wei You so that she breaks up with He Xiya. But what I don't get is that it was her sister who didn't agree to the proposal, so why is she blaming He Xiya as if he was the one who cheated her sister. I seriously question whether the writers were thinking straight when they thought of this.

But after finishing the drama, I did think that actually she didn't fully believe that He Xiya was a "love rat". From the way she was describing her sister and He Xiya, I think she believed them both to be good people and approved of their relationship, but she also knew that He Xiya was hiding something about the proposal incident and wanted to know what really happened, which He Xiya refused till the end. So she started taking revenge against him so that he would say what happened to stop her. Because everytime she meets she keeps asking what happened, rather than just scolding or swearing at him. And even the matter of telling Wei You to break up, was also her attempt to make him say what happened. We can see that when she says that the only way to make her agree to their relationship is to say what happened.

So, I think it was just poor execution of this plot that made her character horrible and immature. This had 40 episodes, there is enough time to have some character exploration for Lu Man and reveal these points slowly as the plot progresses, but the writers had to cramp that into the 2 episodes at the end.

Sorry for the long post :)

The dream stuff were used precisely for the scenario you described and after that the whole thing is forgotten. There is not a single mention of even the word Dream in the second half of the drama.

This is just what I think happened as you said it was delivered poorly. I think the cure for it was to make her depend less on Cheng Yin, by reducing her alone time and just being there for her. And in one episode, ML consults a doctor, who says that the current way of treating her might take long but reduces impact and damage she will have to bear in the future. So the ML has been doing that. In that final scene, it shows that she is no longer depending on Cheng Yin as she hears Cheng Yin saying goodbye to her, and starts depending on the ML, which is shown as he holds her hand which she reached out for Cheng Yin. This is what I think happened.

I started watching this drama because of that scene 😂

Indebt? He has been taking care of her, her son and also her family, at least financially. And she is very biased towards her son. Dan Dan's father has no luck with women at all xD.

Unless there are more scenes explaining how she took care of Dan Dan, her character is ruined.

He is visually impaired, not completely blind. He is able to detect movements within three feet but can't tell colours apart. It is explained in episode 6 and 22

I thought it was a comedy, but it made me tear up more than any tragedy TT

Does anyone know what the FL and the others were trying to prove by deceiving the ML? The FL didn't know the ML before, and she wanted to see if he actually love her, so the first couple of episodes were alright, but it really went overboard during the middle when both her and the ML's family got involved. I am not even sure what they are trying to achieve with all this drama now. Very disappointed at how this lakorn is turning out to be. They are seriously playing the ML for a fool now.

Everything is explained in episode 26 and 27.
Heavy Spoilers:


The lady who had all the paintings of FL's mom was FL's real mom. FL was actually the daughter of the painter who her mom was with previously, since Panu had vasectomy after having Chanok. And since Panu found that FL's mother was going to meet that Painter, he tried to kill her. But since she survived he sent her abroad and had her undergo plastic surgery and come back as Chonrangsee. Then using the FL as a hostage, he gave her money to start a company and do money laundering and bribing so that his company wins all the bidding. This is why FL had to stay with him and why she was important for his company to win the bidding.

For about 12 episodes, the story has just been the ML trying to protect the FL who still has no clue what is going on and still believes her boyfriend, and the bad guys are systematically destroying and invalidating all the evidences that the ML and his group aquired against them. The ML keeps everything to himself and asks the others to trust him but never shares anything with them, even the attempts on the life of the FL. Who in their right mind would actually trust a guy like that. I am really surprised that Prim did though.

And not to mention annoying and unnecessary characters, like Nam and Koy. Nam added no value to the revenge and Koy, instead of confronting the guys about the hard drives and the laptop, she goes to a shop and gets herself and the secret mission exposed.

And another aspect that seems lacking is the effect of losing his fiancee and her brother, had very little impact on him. There was nothing shown on screen, other than few brusts of anger and one scene of reminiscence of the fiancee. And instead of focusing on the ML, the plot seemed to revolve around Kawin and his escapades with his women. The romance between the main leads fail by comparison to Kawin.

I am just hoping that Jade actually survives at the end of the drama. He was the only one who was working to bring the bad guys to justice. I mean, he went undercover and got more information than the ML who was working to get closer to Kawin and the FL. He was the one who found where the laptop was hidden, he was the who found the data hidden by Radee behind the picture frame, he got the recording of Yorn telling that his boss ordered the hit on Radee and also blamed the FL making her a target, and again he was the one who got the location of Koy when she was kidnapped and also got the recording of Sumet (Kawin's right hand man) trying to get info from Koy.

Now what did the ML get out of being the FL's bodyguard? He became one of the trusted person of the FL and Prim, and other than that nothing. Even bugging the FL's room had no impact on the story, other than that one time where Kawin revealed that one of FL's fan gift was his. And nothing else. He couldn't get into the business that Kawin and FL were doing, nor could he find out why the FL was needed by Kawin. Even the point that Kawin was out for money from FL was found by Prim and not the ML. It is when I look at this point that I feel Koy was right from the start. They got nothing from being with FL. I mean if this was not working, the ML could have actively tried to make the FL and Kawin split up so that Kawin would slip up. But nope. Nothing of that sort happened.

Episode 15: why doesn't the ML tell the FL about the death of his fiancee? At this point that piece of information won't change anything and he got the chance as the FL was asking for him to come clean. smh. This is going to come back to bite him.

Episode 16: Seriously, for 16 episodes he did nothing for revenge and just kept on protecting the FL, but suddenly he couldn't say the word love, see when I said it is going to come back to bite him.

Rant over.

Now I am just watching it since I am close to the end. This is by all means not a revenge lakorn at all. This could have simply been a drama about the ML trying to protect the FL and completed leave out the revenge part. This is the most idiotic ML I have seen in a revenge lakorn (Everyone in his team either took a bullet or got tortured and Jade actually got both). He was dancing on the palm of Kawin.

I am at episode 12, and I am still wondering when the ML is going to start his revenge?

I am on episode 3, but I just find it weird that the FL was alright being with guys who were shooting at each other. And what I can't wrap my head around is that the FL actually went with the boss of the gang who were trying to kidnap/ kill her in Japan.

The tests reminded me of Kung Fu Panda

This is actually a better synopsis.

And check out The Merciless, he is an undercover cop acting like a gangster. Loved his acting in that as well.

Need the daily dose of kdrama and need to complete the 2021 watch challenge xD
And yeah, Iotnbo was a rare case. Love triangles creates two teams among the viewers which allows for them to keep a conversation going back and forth. But I do love to read those comments xD
