I saw the CP recently in Deep Affection Eyes, and loved him there. Why are they making me hate his character here so much? I mean its just the actor playing 2 different roles, but still, its tough to hate him here, but I am getting forced to.

Exactly!! Haha!

If you have seen the drama- The Double(2024). There was a guy there, though he was not the 2nd Male lead, he could be said as the 3rd Male Lead. But he was so good. He helped her, was a good friend to her, supported her always. He wanted to marry her, but when he understood that the FL only loved the ML, he took a step back. I mean is it so hard to show healthy one sided love. Even there was a girl who had a one sided crush on the ML, but she was such a good friend too. I mean that show, showed really healthy crushes. Nowadays, they are just going on the same obsessive male lead tracks.
Also, I would have understood if its actually important for the story. But most of the times, its not. I mean the novel do not have that track, why do you have to add this?

I think it might be just a plan. I think that would be the best. I mean according to the preview of episode 30, he romances FL but remembers his people. They can show that he is slowly forgetting about her, idk. I just hope, if he really forgets her, the angst should not be for more than 2-3 episodes, so that they can wrap up the climax in a perfect way.

Jin An was too nice. His memories as Jin An should return to him. I don't want the makers to show that Prince Annan fell for the FL but never gained his memories as Jin An. That would be so bad.

You are right. I think they would wait, I mean that's logical. But I don't think that's very convenient to show in the drama, so they might have ditched it.

True! But season 2 changes many aspects. Like in Flex X Cop, first it is taking a lot of time. Then the FL isn't returning. That's why even though we can hope for season 2, I believe we should have a closure about their romance in the last episode.

He is the director of Flex X cop as well.? Ahh! Now I am sure there is nothing happening in ep 11-12. In Flex X Cop, the mutual attraction was so evident, they still did show anything more. That means this is the style of the director. I loved Flex X Cop as well.

Maybe before. Now, mostly people are hating it. Once in a while, or in some dramas, a same trope being used is okay, but now its like every other drama. I get it though.

Notice a drama people liking- hating on it because of age gap- peak wastage of time & energy on hating stuff- gaining attention which was otherwise impossible.

Exactly! I think they can just show someone as a good friend who cares for the FL. He can also have his own love story with someone else. The obsession story line is kind of repetitive now.

No I would still blame him. He married someone else. Yes he was forced, but he still married someone else. Then he went to her when he needed her for protection. He is constantly lying to her. That's not love, he just wants to possess her. But yes, I get you he has been in love with her since childhood, and he really believes that because she is a woman, he is now an emperor, she would come back to him.
yeah in LOFG, it was just 2-3 meetings, and the guy was obsessed. But I really believe, its kind of boring now. Every other drama, this plot !

Yeah I get it. Prince Annan even tells her why can't you hurt me, is this because I look like your Jin An or is it because I am Jin An, and then goes on to kiss her. Its such a wild scene. Especially after such cute romantic scenes in episode 28. I hope the angst won't be for long though.

@jgh_hjg That got more criticism than this, when that's not even romance based. I mean after 10 episodes, except some smiling, nothing has happened. That's basically a boss and junior supporting each other. Its just legal cases there and solving it together.
I mean I get it if people hate age gaps. They can just drop. Why to hate on things when others are enjoying it.

Again with the uncle aunty shit. I mean unless you are 10, I don't think someone 35 would be an aunty for you. Find some stuff which you like and compliment it. Why waste energy and time on hating things. I mean seriously, aren't you tired. Going to pages of different dramas and hating on them. Either give constructive criticism on dramas about acting, plot or just move on.

I think the ML knows by now. He seems a little different in the later half of episode 28. Also by the previews, it seems he knows in ep 30. In the novel the ML never forgot the FL. So even if they have many changes, they might just make the ML pretend or something. There are also some scenes which are released, which included Prince Annan kissing the FL. Just a wild guess.

So the last three dramas that I saw, legend of female general, Moonlit Reunion, and this all have this obsessed side male lead. I mean why? They should not just come up with something new.

I really thought, that was it. Yeah there were no witnesses, but who cares. Its so stupid if they are not considering that marriage. My babies are married, I don't care what the emperor thinks.

The obsessive side male lead track is overused, I believe in C-dramas these days. Like basically, in every drama, the same plot. Even in dramas taken up from novels, where there is no such track, directors are finding it amusing to use it. Like we get it, a jealous track is nice for 1-2 episodes max. Then be a obsessive male lead or obsessive female lead, it just disrupts the story, and majority of the people find it unlikeable then.

What's wrong with the preview of ep 29? Aren't they already married, why would Jin An ask the obsessive emperor to grant their marriage. I am furious by the preview of ep 29. ep 30 preview is nice though!

I think he sees her a little more than a student, or among all a person closer to him than others, otherwise the kind of introverted cold person with that kind of attitude, but still he actually discusses personal stuff with her. But yes romantic hints, are never from his side. The FL has a one sided crush, I guess, but she is also not acting upon it very well.
