Someone please spoil me when they get along? I mean which episode? Happy ending or sad ?
For the first 9 episodes, he is pretty much trying to kill or use her. There are glimmers of moments where you can see he is reluctantly impressed by her, or where she calls him handsome, but really, she keeps messing up his plans and he is so focused on sacrificing anything and anyone to achieve his goal, he can't see beyond that. But I believe it's in episode 10 when an event happens that allows her to see things a little differently, and they have a conversation that ultimately shifts the dynamic between them. After that change, they spend more time together and their relationship slowly changes. She does not forgive him right away or forget what he's done, and he does not warm to her instantly. But they slowly start to trust one another and maybe even like each other a little better over the next few episodes. By episode 14, he is worried about her and doesn't want to see her hurt. By episode...I want to say 16, he's in the "touch her and die" phase of caring about her, lol.
This is a true enemies to lovers. It starts as true enemies, then moves to "well, I'll work with you but only because it's convenient/I have to", to "hmm, we work well together, but don't read anything into it", to "I will kill anyone who hurts you"...and we haven't gotten there quite yet, but I believe we're getting to the "I would die for you/I love you" stage soon.
Am I the only one who doesn't think the changes are happening way too fast? I am enjoying the story because, in…
I agree completely! I feel like they've done a very good job of making this a REAL enemies-to-lovers slow burn romance. I love that she does not just forgive him everything after their dynamic shifts in ep 10, and their interactions are still tense and unsure of one another for a few more episodes, gradually changing as they spend more time together and get to actually know each other. He is remembering his humanity and empathy for others beyond his own people and mission through her, and she is understanding the world and people around her more and more deeply because he doesn't try to restrict her or hold her back (like the selfish and manipulative SML).
This show is a 10/10 for me. I also have not read the novel so the drama stands on its own for me, but the actors are really doing an excellent job showing a lot of nuance with these characters.
