Kinara

I agree and I don’t like the way the female is behaving either with regards to this. They are trying to make the mother who abandoned the baby a victim

Yeah they have unfinished business for sure

Contrary to what people say here- people don’t change that easily. The ML is someone with very low EQ in general.

And it also shows that LX being in prison did not matter- he rose up again in the most honest way. And that’s the beauty of it- for an extraordinary person like him with that kind of confidence these setbacks meant nothing. We see people like that around us too

Yes the actress is very beautiful

Yes the revenge arc was beautiful- no shortcuts and Gao needed to see that - the most memorable dialog between Gao and Li Xun is when he takes the card to interview at that gaming company- Gao laughs at LX and Li Xun says Gao has always been short sighted ! And he proves that point

Rewatching fourth time and I am sure I will do it again in a few months

One thing I realized is that Gao had extremely low self esteem. That’s why whenever LX criticized him he thought LX was put to get him. He also thought the whole world was against him when everyone thought that LX was a genius. A more confident person would have been like who cares and just did their own stuff . That is what Zhu Yun did - she calls herself a follower but not true - she rather challenges herself to get better and at the same time walks forward with LX. It’s an absolutely amazing lesson

According to me she gave too much of herself to a guy who did not care at all- she was very hasty getting married to him

I agree he does love her but his EQ is too low and does not express.

Yeah what she said was really an eye opener

Actually I think they were too hasty when they got married. She was young and immature. He is definitely older than her and had not gotten over his ex yet. That’s why they ex tells the female that he is using her as a substitute .it was a very unequal relationship - each wanted something different. In the present they are still fighting about the past but the male’s EQ is really low - that’s why his first girlfriend left him.

There is a reason he takes away those shares though- at that point he is really scared the FZJ will do something to her and thinks she is better off with her parents rather than with him . And what she has for the male is not obsession - I don’t agree with that negative term. I always feel the way her parents treated her was way worse. I actually like the fact that ZY gave their relationship a second chance .

ZY never accepted LX as he was. Let’s be clear - she was no doormat. She is a very intelligent woman. She always stood up for herself and contradicted LX whenever she felt he was wrong. LX was confident but not arrogant. He was very blunt and called everything as it was. There are people who can do that . LX always acknowledged the people who worked with him. He liked people who worked hard. ML deserved the success he had in spite of what happened. It showed that nothing can stop truly outstanding people like him- I like that message from this drama. I like that they both fought back after all those incidents and hardships.

Yes totally agree . We do have double standards for males and females. It’s really remarkable the way she stood by him and gave that second chance their love needed.

I would not label their relationship toxic at all. They both grew immensely throughout their relationship and that does show they are compatible .

I am not sure if you watched the same drama. I would say ZY’s parents alienated her from LX and that’s what causes her trauma - it was not the break up - it was the fact that her parents kept her from going to him- that’s why she went into depression and became suicidal. Her parents are abusive and controlling. LX on the other hand never controlled her. Even with that decision to push her away - he was scared that FZJ would get to her too. If anything her parents - dad was no less- they were just brutal to him at his low point when he had just lost his sister. So let’s not judge easily. Yeah he did not want her to wait for him when he went to jail - which is fair.
Anybody who labels this unhealthy has never been through hardships in their relationships or had relationships for the long haul.

Yeah he is one of my favorite actors too and is really good in this . I have to watch the first part again - it’s quite intriguing

And for the NTH time LX is not a toxic male. Complicated yes - but far from toxic . Gao is more toxic in his relationship. ZY’s parents are toxic with the way they treat her. But the male os not if anything he always thought she would be better off without him. People like to throw that word around without understanding its true meaning. Zhu Yun grows so much during her relationship with Li Xun- that will never happen if the male were toxic. Her confidence and self esteem grew rather than shrinking - that’s not what happens in a toxic relationship. He helped her realize what she likes and who she is rather than diminishing her and that is why he is not tpxic

Kdrama Decoy is very good- a dark crime drama - but excellent.only part 1 is out thought so we are all gaining in there. After a long time I got hooked on to thsi Kdrama.
