Xiang An Tu has always been a proud, willful young lady - that's pretty apparent from her introduction as a little girl. And the audience knows what ZH is after - but she doesn't know his whole back story and revenge path. So while misunderstandings are a common trope used in dramas for, well, drama, I understand where she is coming from. She's been waiting all night for an answer from him, not knowing the emotional havoc he's been through all night. Patience all, she will know soon enough, and she will hopefully learn and grow as a person as well.
tbh, as an honest romance drama watcher; I love how the romance is quite very lowkey here, the story supposed…
The Marquis is a bad dude out for his own interests, but in reality, many people of his status are sadly the same. I like how there is at least the attempt to make him a rounded character, not just a crazy psychotic murderer - makes the road to revenge more complex to watch.
I'm going need a drink (and I don't drink lol) after finishing this one. I don't think I've been this affected by a tragic love story since One and Only back in 2021.
Yep, I'm catching those shows you mentioned as well. Also watching Dear Hongrang (dark tragic love story).
Typical kdrama (period) stuff: family power struggles, a love triangle and a dark mystery, but the production is lavish, and the music really stands out. Love the acting from the whole cast too. If you don' t mind the darker tone (and some violence), you can check it out!
