that is an interesting take. Now that you point that out, that is absolutely true. Sure, she gets better at her job, but we don’t necessarily see how how she is better in the relationship.

now imagine a man did any of this. he would be the ultimate red flag! I am seriously lost why everyone is pointing out the man. do we forget what a good relationship looks like?? it comes from both individuals working together and giving themselves to the other person while keeping their identity. equality doesn’t mean the woman gets treated like a princess while the man is her servant.

she joins a dating app for her friend, which is a double slap to her man. not only does she not give him the head’s up so he is hurt leaning she is talking to some 35 guys. also, he is an investor in the dating app and realize his girl swimdled him to invest into a scam.

she’s ultra close to her dude roommate that is obviously into her. she has yet to make her relationship with main dude clear. she goes on business trip with her man but tells him she is meeting a friend. turns out it’s her ex. her man sees her give ex a hug goodbye hug, and ex comes back to her room later to take care of her while bf watches. then GET THIS…she later has the balls to suggest to her man that she wants to make relationship public because she wants to check MARRIAGE off her bucketlist. we can suggest she didn’t communicate well, but she literally just came from talking to her friend that told her she needs to think of marriage.

ofc man turns her down. he has a frkn spine! so what does she do? runs away by signing up for a project way out of town. so man has to go chase after her. 🤦🏻‍♀️

so toxic! A woman is hit on by her boss…she shys away but then gives in but declares she wants a secret relationship. guy looks hurt but willing to entertain her wants to be with her. she starts giving him cold shoulder whenever she can’t communicate and even blocks him and last minute changes plans to go over for weekly visits. man looks sad bad still wants to be with her so he learns to apologize and acknowledge that he is a cranky sour puss so tries to compliment her more. there’s even a point where female doesn’t want special treatment because she wants to make it on her own, yet she gets upset that he doesn’t give her special treatment. okay. everyone wants to scratch it up to she’s young. fast forward

thisssss. I was advertising it to my friend because she was frustrated over horrible communication in a different drama. now I have to take it back. literally knocked off a whole point for me. I get when it’s a break-up where audience is frustrated but there is some sense…even noble idiocy. Here, it literally helped no one and it was done when neither of them hurt each other. She went from caring about him to suggesting she loves her career more and all of this wouldn’t have happened if they weren’t together 🤔 logic please!!!??!?

I knowww. make it make sense 😭 I feel like they just had to work in the cliche breakup as if they can’t make a compelling drama with that 😑

we all need a bestie like Lumi

and as she as she started showing that she is a viable member of the team, he trusted her with assignments and is helping her grow. I run a team at work and I don’t have time to babysit sometimes and I would be hella upset if I got assigned someone who looks way too green behind the ears. he was just being real when he called her out for looking too soft to deal with pushy clients

right? like real dudes that exist irl. not necessarily a red flag like everyone is making him out to be. my hubby is the same yet he is the man who fought traffic to pick me up from my kpop concert even though he thinks it’s all a little crazy 🤣most guys I know don’t wax poetry but they are there for you when it matters and then some

I don’t know if I have watched some questionable dramas with legit red flag MLs or if cdrama fans have been spoiled by the number of green flags lately (or the overly green FIELDS like Sang Yan from First Frost where FL runs laps around ML without showing a true bit of reciprocation while ML laps at her like a begging puppy)… 😮‍💨 I digress… I actually don’t see ML as a red flag. this is my opinion. He has flaws and the actor even pointed out that he worked hard to not display a domineering CEO type but an real character with complex personality that has flaws. Yes, he is sharp tongued and doesn’t sugar coat his words. He is changing though. SFL notes how he is Lian Nian who doesn’t apologize, yet we are seeing him now apologizing to FL.

We are also seeing FL put her foot down. Although she annoyingly does by silent treatment or distancing herself, we get that she is younger and also learning how to make herself be heard by properly expressing herself. They are both growing as individuals and together as a couple. I appreciate that balance that they are changing for each other for the better.

To suggest that ML is red flag in all this seems odd to me. dude has flaws and every character in drama knows it. he knows it. he is changing though and has reflected how he is becoming the person he hates most - his father.

I also think FL is growing and becoming a boss girl of her own right. She knows how to twist him around her fingers with her puppy eyes from getting him to help her friend to having him take care of the dog he doesn’t want. I actually like this relationship, minus the fact that they need to learn how to speak what’s on their mind and be more open with each other.

I went from watching a dramawith the best communication with one with the worst communication 😂 🤣so I am just consistently 🤦🏻‍♀️ still enjoying the angst

yeah. I totally get it. the angst worked though because I was so annoyed at her 😂

I am sorry. but when Mo Yi’s wife is going off on FL and asking who she should blame… ummm. bush. blame yourself. you greedy woman made him get into the mess. ah okay. good she realizes

omg. what did I just watch at ep 31????!!!? what?! nooo

Mei Si and Grandpa Snake…one of the greatest pure bromances in a cdrama land. who would have guessed? 😂 dude can’t even ascend because of his ties to him 🥹

He didn’t need to kill anyone. He could have locked them up. It’s not like letting them go was going to bring peace because their people were hell bent on revenge, at least at the hands of our main baddie. IDK. It all felt weak. ML was a bunch of talk and chasing tail around in circles. FL ends the major conflict because he does exactly what FL said she would fight for (his little decree) and she’s the one who talks her people down. It all felt like a lot of buildup for nothing. From the politics to their relationship. meh.

wdym this little simp who is an emperor of a whole dang nation goes out to find the girl again just so they can ride in the desert. we are supposed to be satisfied with just that after all this investment.

they created more problems towards the ends rather working towards resolution. it was this nonsensical revenge drama where people were plotting without much actually happening and you think there will be some payoff at the end. instead they save all the so-called plot twists for the end but they throw some of the twists so far into the end of a super slow burn drama that you feel you wasted 32 eps worth of your life.

hold up. hold the 🤦🏻‍♀️up!!! he just let’s them walk out?? they try to end him. kill _____. but they are allowed to just walk out? even if their identity wasn’t the big bad guy…if a normal dude just kills someone important and threatens the king, they wouldn’t be allowed to just walk out. dude is such a useless simp and girl took advantage of it through and through. CZY. I really tried to like this for your sake? but this sucks so bad. I thought maybe I could at least give is a passing grade, but ep 30 just made me sad that I binged these last few eps…which o did not because I liked it but I just needed to be done with this ish. not being able to drop dramas is such a pain. I’m going to have to rewatch a really good drama to get this foul taste of a drama
out of my system.

part of my criticism is the script itself, but I don’t think the script called for dead fish as character breakdown for FL.
