Mimi

Oh yes, this might be the reason.

Yeah, real. She really isn't that bad. People are just not considering her POV. We see more than she sees. Most people would be like her in that situation.
Also, we clearly see how she feels sorry and is conflicted about all this.

Yes, I did not like how she treated the ML, but we have to consider her POV. She mainly had negative experiences with the ML at first. After getting to know him better, she felt sorry for him but still could not stop thinking about her fate. She feared for her life, which is why she tried her best to stay away from him.

Then, she found out he had lied to her about his identity, which deeply hurt her. She had hatred and love in her heart.

It only got worse after she realized that all the scenes from the script were still happening, which is why she then wanted to cut all ties with him.

Regarding the stabbing, I believe she expected him to pull his hand away. She looked shocked when she saw she actually stabbed him.

Now, I still think she behaved wrongly and could have heard him out, but I also understand why she did all that.
Just imagine having all these feelings: fear, love, hatred, anger. Could you have behaved calmly and logically?

I feel deeply sorry for the ML. I totally understand all his actions, and he does not deserve any of this.

So I watched episode 24 now, and I am honestly confused why people are hating the female lead so much. Based on the comments, I thought she did some horrible, horrible thing.

GOSH HOW I HATE THIS EMPEROR AHHHHH

me too

Yes, you should always be aware that you COULD get spoiled ... but that doesn’t mean spoiler tags shouldn’t be used.

And no, this doesn’t only apply to airing dramas - people visit these comment sections even for finished shows to discuss episodes with other viewers.

Yk there are people who want to discuss earlier episodes and also see the ratings/reviews?
The spoiler tag exists for a reason.

Oh, good to know, ty. Will wait for tomorrow then. These subtitles are horrible.

It def is.
Non-watchers don't know what exactly will happen this season. Maybe the players will riot again and more than one person can survive. Or who knows what other events could happen.
I would just put spoiler tag on this.

Dang, please put a spoiler tag on this.

I'm so mad she'll die. Don't want to watch this now, ahh. 😭

Yeah, same. I was surprised to see it be underrated. Even people hating on it, like how?! This was the first C-drama I was able to watch non-stop.
I was starting to think I had bad taste in shows. 😂

Yes, agreed. But after all she said about Nan Heng, I'm pretty sure he won't. Already not a fan of the misunderstanding plot. 🥲

Yea, it will be very painful. 🥲

I'm kind of sad she still hasn't figured out li's identity. She is smart but, it seems, blinded by love.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This exactly!

Wow, the costumes here are absolutely beautiful

Honestly! This drama is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It's so, so good.

On ep 5 and gosh, do I love this one. The main characters are so well written. I'm such a fan of FL and ML in this drama. FL is so smart, which I absolutely love.

I DID NOT THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH THIS SO SOON.
