I honestly thought when the whole prince Helian storyline started that the lady he took fancy to would be Gu Nanyi and we would have hilarious misunderstanding 😏. The writers decided to go another way and instead of full of misunderstandings BL we got similar but GL 🤭 (I could not believe when it was insinuated that Wei Zi is in fact BLing 🤣 and hence refusing marriage with her).
Still, every time prince Helian and Gu Nanyi are together on the screen, I think that they have chemistry and since we know who OTP is, prince Helian should stop lying to himself and get together with somebody else (not sure how healthy it would have been to be married to that spoiled princess...).

I am on EP02 and the dad just said: do you know why there are no women among executives? Because women get so caught up in meddling, gossiping and spreading news that they end up being inefficient at their own work.
🤮
Dad should really check some actual studies about the "facts" he just spewed and impact women have at work.
At this point I don't care (yet) which of the illegitimate children get he company (the legitimate one just has to be an 🍑 from the get-go) but I so hope that they will make some big changes.

Side note: I am sorry but how is the children's fault that the father could not keep it in his pants (he tripped, fell and accidentally impregnated at least 2 women that weren't his wife)? Why is the label of bastard stuck on the child and not the adulter(s) being shamed? The child did not choose his/hers parents or the circumstances of their birth. In this case, since all kids have different mothers, the common denominator is certain trash.

I think one31 is serving us quite a variety of series this year - and none of the fluffy college kind. If I remember correctly theirs were: The Next Prince, Love in the Moonlight and Khemjira (Khem and friends are college students 🤔).

I meant Logan Roy only as example of patriarch who totally disregards a daughter as a potential heir when she is clearly the most competent one and he does it just because she is a girl 😒

I just started watching (I am literally at 6min of EP01) and I think I get why she would have to be manipulative if she is interested in becoming an heir - her dad seems to be a chauvinist (kind of like Logan Roy in the Succession, which is based on Murdoch family). Her idea - attributed to her oldest brother. Her youngest brother, who seems like a pariah (not clear if he has any skills or knowledge for the position he got of the bat from father) got a position higher than her (who seems to have more experience and work put in the company). Living in such a family can warp one's moral code. I am not saying it excuses her but it definitely makes sense character-wise.

I am actually hoping that the werewolf is the reincarnated guy who betrayed Methas 😈
They could do Our Skyyy for them if not S2, just saying...

Can you spoil a bit? I am at the moment she already is "in enemy's territory" and dressed up as FL to seduce her husband. I honestly cannot continue watching because if 2nd hand embarrassment. I saw some comments that she might end up with emperor but considering how delulu she is I doubt it.
For the record - I only pity her due to how she was raised. She was sheltered from everything and nobody told her anything. ML was like: I told her not to marry him, so why does she want to? My guy perhaps you could explain what is the issue with him? Like death camps, how he almost killed the girl he supposedly loved etc. On the other hand she was quite far in delulu land, so perhaps she would have still not believed + tipped the guy 😒

I wonder that as well especially with as much hype (+time) this series had 😮‍💨 It's totally illogical and we are talking about vampire series here! Not to mention that I haven't seen lamest vampire than Ramil (character-wise) + fighting scenes are worst than Kant's tattoos in Heart Killers.
The only thing keeping me watching are glimpses of my 🎀 vampire (I saw on social media something about Mark supposedly blocking people who put ribbon - usually in hair - on his Methas stills and then GMM Twitter did the compilation of those pictures and Mark was like: how can I block this?! 🤣)

I don't want to spoil but definitely watch EP10 (their screen time is not long but there is one scene with them).
As I watched EP08 I thought that I was missing some of the story but give it a moment and you will see that they do flashbacks that explain things (like how ML met Junior's character).

Yes, the actors Junior and Mark. I don't remember Junior's character name but Mark's was Phone (LOL - it's funnier when you see their storyline). Their story starts in EP08 and ends in EP10 (I watched only their scenes and I don't think there was anything in EP09).

I am further in EP17 and keep on facepalming with that princess, like girl are you for real?! What does the guy needs to do to make you see straight? Try to kill your brother? 🙅‍♀️ Try to kill him again? 🙅‍♀️ Actually killing him? 🤔
Another facepalms for the main coupe: how exactly "he did everything he could"/"what could he have changed" (she is no better IMO, like I am sure her "bestie" would love to hear about boss lady from the death camp)?! Are his words more precious than gold? Why is it so hard to say what "hubby" did?
I really hate the "miscommunication" thorpe 😬

To be honest I actually don't think (I am on EP17, so I might change my mind) that the empress did it maliciously. Since the princess is a girl she does not pose threat to empress's son's position and she wasn't so hostile as the 1st prince, so definitely easier to like. Emperor, as usually, if he knows his children's names and more of less how they look like is considered as a role model of fatherhood 🙄 In this series he seemed to know at least something about his daughter (like the deserts she was making) and it seemed like he might have refused the marriage if she was against it. However being a good parent is preparing your children for the real world and they all (big bro included) failed in that regard with her (and it seems like the 2nd son is also too naïve for his own good - to be honest I was thinking who is the masked man and 2nd prince + marquis's son are currently my top contenders for this plot twist... with me leaning on the marquis's son at the moment due to prince's age, as some of that plotting hat to start waaaay in advance).

Side note about empress: yes, she is a b**** but to be honest she is not as bad at 1st sight as some others... where I got instant dislike (like in The Double where I was genuinely surprised at her ending and how genuine her feelings towards the emperor were). I am not sure about customs in this timeline but some dynasties were burying all the women from the harem with the emperor and only mother of the new emperor (or ones with infants, I think) was spared that fate, so if it's the same here I get why she wants her son to ascent the throne - self-preservation (if not, then her family gets a lot of control, especially with such a young, inexperienced and naïve emperor).

I just started EP17 and I was so hoping for somebody to do it! How could they let her grow like that - totally clueless! Ok, fine - she is not the scheming type but why not tell her even a bit about the husband? I know she was crazy in love because... checks notes... he saved her life (I wouldn't call it that but whatever) but surely her brother could talk some sense to her. At he moment I cannot fully be angry at her when everyone were keeping things from her, so how was she supposed to do the informed decision but still her behaviour is frustrating.

Side note: I know that they made a joke about 1st price and marquis's son being together but IMO the 2 guys from the hero trio were quite more sus 🤭 Especially since it was clear that the doctor lady had a thing for the dummy and he was totally oblivious to her but had no qualms about undressing his "bro" (I know, I know - they were in army together but why not BL additionally? 😉).

I would say: Echoes of Self. Interesting concept of her going back in time but in a separate body (yes, there are 2 of the same looking ladies). Ending is for me not 100% clear for her version that did not travel to the past.

If you know the play then you can see that the tilted shrew is Faded and Style is being sent to tame him, so that Kant and Bison can date.
At least Fadel is not getting the tortures that Kat had in the play (among others: sleep deprivation) to basically break her spirit 😬

Well considering that THK were based on Shakespeare's Taming of a Shrew... You can always find similarities to other series/novels/etc. 🤷‍♀️

I am watching WDBtD and the FL is just hilarious. Such a slacker-wannabe! 🤣 I wonder when ML connects the dots that she is not from this world (she basically told him this several times).
I am all for FL being OP but she has much, much more luck than brains sometimes.

I would agree to most about grandma but we should consider that this is happening in 1963, she is quite old, so she might not have came across people of the same sex having feelings for each other + considering how girls were (and is some parts of the world still are) considered like a property and were basically sold (or gifted with extra assets, so that somebody would take her) - which is exactly what is happening to Pin - it might seem normal to her. I am not saying that it makes it ok and that she doesn't have capacity to understand and accept who makes her grandson happy + stand on his side.

I have a different question: what happened to the letter sender? Did they break up or was he ghosted? Is he going to "blast from the past"? I surely hope they are not planning to leave that storyline at the current point.

😍😍😍😍😍

Can you expand TPoB? I have to add 2 more 😁

Haven't seen that one but adding to my watch list. Thanks for (kind of) recommendation 🌻
