I've read many comments saying the ml is toxic and I disagree. He's honest about who he is, right from the start-hello, she saw him kissing another girl and still kissed him right after, only pulling back to complain about the other girl's lipstick and maybe saliva-how gross is that? Toxic would've been him hiding his wondering penis tendency, to get her in the sack. But he didn't even have to. She saw him for who he really was, still jumped in with unrealistic expectations of -oh, my golden vjay will change him -and when it predictably didn't, he became toxic. When a person tells you that this who I am, believe them. It only had a HE because it's a drama.
They should've stayed as mentor and mentee. There was absolutely no spark between them. Rather what they had was mutual admiration and that was lovely to see. The 2 kiss scenes were very painful to watch and I cringed on their behalf. Wasn't satisfied with how the office villains got off, but maybe I'm too bloodthirstyπ
I'm considering starting this. Why do you think the rating is so low?
There were a lot of deleted scenes, which made the drama hard to follow sometimes. I had to search youtube for them to make sense of the scenes. Also, almost all-and there was quite a number of them-the skinship scenes were cut, so it really brought down the sizzle of the romance even though they've got one of the best, natural feeling chemistry I've ever seen. I read somewhere that the story's a bit taboo for the Chinese authorities, what with her being a consort and he being a eunuch and all. Finally, personally, the characterization of the fl towards the end, took a huge set back. Yes, she was manipulative in the beginning, but she wasn't sly; she was only trying to survive. And she retained her innate goodness. However, when they got together, she suddenly started using his feelings against him for selfish reasons, with no regard whatsoever for his. It's like she went from this totally likeable badass great person, to a sly and totally selfish person, I almost couldn't recognise her. And even though she cried about using him, it still didn't negate the fact that she was being in a word a total biatch, so yeah, I fell out of love with her, toward the end and was filled with pity for him.
I miss her. Tyh, is my comfort drama. Ageist South koreans probably think she's too old for dramas, which just proves how narrow minded and wrong they are. This sidelining of true talent in favor of young, plastic looking girls who can't act, is part of the reason why kdramas have lost their lustre in the past few years. Such a pity.
Zhou Yutong acting is superb. But for ML. He is just handsome. But his acting is flat
Maybe because his character is a doormat here, but this actor is actually good. Try Go go squid for modern or Flourished Peonies for period. He does well in both and isn't a pushover in those dramas.
Really? Do share your coping tips pls. I haven't been able to finish LBFAD- her voice makes my ears ache everytime I try. But I l'm a DW fan and the story line's intriguing, I'll love to be able to finish it.
Oh then I'm going to start this, Princess Gambit is just so beyond stupid it's making me lose so many braincells…
Oh no, was preparing to start ADWAD. Thought it was good from comments but I can't stand obsessed guy with fl who doesn't give a F troupe, so i"ll pass. Thanks for he heads up.
