During her conversation with her dad, when the flashback was shown from her dad's point of view, I felt a little upset on FL, yes she has the right to demand her livelihood from him, bike, building whatever. Her father gave it to her. But changing will? Nope, her father has the right to decide who his heir will be, his dumb legal son, or his intelligent illegal daughter. His property, his right. FL got a lot from her dad too, she can make her own business, separate things from them, live happily.

But few minutes later, when the flashback was shown from her point of view, I felt bad for her. The way she was looking at her father, maybe what she wanted was appreciation, a little love which she did not receive, hence she decided to get everything on her own. I remembered that's what she is, she isn't that typical FL who leaves stuff for others, or is a saint; she wants things, she gets them, she is greedy, she considers it her right, she would get it. That's her character. But that's also her coping mechanism.

Its a good sign, that few minutes apart, a show could showcase 2 different perspectives from the same flashback, altering what I think. This is good.

He has wrapped up Lament of Autumn in March, and is currently on a break with some brand shoots. He is rumored to join filming a modern drama in May.

MoLi, we don't know the airing date though, supposedly in June.

I am waiting for Spring of the Blade/Mo Li/Overdo whichever comes early hehe! I am not into xianxia/wuxia or any of the supernatural stuff so currently airing dramas do not interest me!

Hehe finding my cdrama mates here is so fun!

Right.

True exactly. I am not one of them who is just obsessed with leads you know. I love the supporting cast, they make the drama what it is. Like the SFL here, has a role, she is power obsessed she is doing something for her goals. I want Steve Noh's character to be like that as well. Maybe fighting for the benefit of the country, trying to protect FL and ML. Not just a simp towards FL.

Hahaha, best!

I really like her character though villain wise, I hope we don't get any stupid redemption track. Let her be power obsessed and get defeated in the end.

So appropriately said.

I agree to you. But she doesn't think like that. She isn't satisfied with the money/power she has now, she wants more, she wants to be the head of the Castle Group after her father. She thinks her father supports his legitimate son, firstly because of the gender and legal status but more so because he has married someone with immense power even though her brother is dumb makes bad decisions in business. Her sister in law comes from a very powerful family. That is why she thinks if she marries someone with more superior power/lineage, she might get a chance to inherit the company, she is way more talented in business than her brother.
Plus remember Queen Dowager said any business group whose heads are close to Grand Prince, receive funding, respect, backing of shareholders over others, hence business conglomerates are always trying to butter Grand Prince. FL thinks if she becomes his wife, shareholders in her father's company would support her in place of her useless brother.

More than being forced I think she herself didn't want to marry a guy who wasn't the heir to the throne. She seems too power obsessed, even her love for her son comes second, so ML must come even later.

I think the company she heads might be a part of the original parent company headed by her father. Her brother is the director there. She on the other hands leads another company, but I think it was mentioned its part of Castle Group, like I think its named castle beauty. Yup she struggled to make it what it is, but the initial funding seems to have come from her father. Plus when her sister in law called her to force that arranged date, she said father in law is threatening to close Castle Beauty, to in turn threaten FL into going to that date.

I did not watch positively yours, but I hated the screen time given to the SML in Our Universe as well, it was stretched with no requirement. Even in Dynamite Kiss.
I absolutely love Steve Noh so I wish him to be a good SML who has things to do rather than just following and obsessing over FL.
