I find it quite strange that if CY & MJ really loved each other so much and regard each other as the only family member in the whole world, how could they part ways for 6 whole years without any visit or contact? I can understand CY did that to protect MJ and he was overseas most of the time….but how come MJ didn’t contact or visit him for 6 years and only came back because she happened to have work in her hometown? Or did I miss something?
The question is a bit subjective...what is toxic and/or dark may not be so for another. I can't watch horror movies,…
Haha u have a point! Dark and toxic to me just means depressing… l watch dramas to relax & enjoy myself….so I prefer not to end up feeling sad and depressed or stressed after watching a drama. Anyways I’ve started and it’s good! Thanks.
The ML loves the FL and her safety and happiness is his bottom line. He did something for her so she could go…
Ok…that bit abt ML doing something that led him into a dark place is what I was worried about… like he killed someone to protect her and was jailed for years…..But judging from MarieLaure and Twinty’s replies…. nothing like that will happen… so I’m going to proceed to watch! Thanks!
I’m threading very carefully here (trying to find out a bit more about this drama to see if it’s worth watching) coz there are spoilers everywhere! I’ve decided that it’s probably safer to just post a question here…. I saw many mixed reviews so far and the not so good ones mostly mentioned words like “toxic” and “dark”. Can someone please confirm if it is indeed dark and toxic for if it is, I will shun. Thanks!
Wait. Was the dad electrocuting the boy? To torture him to get back at his mom? Or training him to be an electrician? Punishing the boy because he was naughty or defiant? Or is the horrible dad just plain sadistic or have some kind of sick fetish?
I think the painter was completely loyal to the Empress Dowager, and she took advantage of his loyalty and gift…
Thanks for the very insightful explanation… I think you’re right about the painting… the writer expects sharp viewers to be able to infer that……but sadly for me…..hahaha
And all that background about the Consort…I’ve no idea how I missed it all…hahaha…probably attention deficit on my part…
But thanks, all clear now…I don’t need to know about the poem no more!
