I didn't mind his mother in the end because of that. She didn't necessarily like WWX, but she trusted his loyalty to JC.

I do love the different characters in TU because (like Cqlis said) there are so many morally gray areas and characters. While it's obviously a different world, there are many personality traits that reflect back on rl. Some people handle painful events with a smile while some are angry at the world. I like to think that if JC had someone to lean on more with less people around him bashing WWX, things might have ended up differently.

Also, I remember later JC was talking to WWX about the past and he said something along the lines of "You said you would be at my shoulder when with me at the head of the sect. You said we would be like the Twin Jades." It's been a minute since I watched, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it was something along those lines. I always thought that, in addition to the other losses, he was hurt to have lost WWX to something he didn't understand. I felt like he mourned losing his 'brother' to dark cultivation and really just wanted WWX to choose him first.

I think most everybody suffered in some way or another in this. WWX suffered with a smile, LWJ suffered in silence, and JC suffered alone which amplified his anger.

I actually liked her there. The mental illness she had made her character all over the place, but I thought it was done decently well. I might be a little biased because I like the actress though. xD

I'm not sure I hate them, there was definitely some dislike, but both had reasons for the way they acted towards WWX so that made it a little easier to understand their characters. The mom just wanted what was best for her children, and she saw WWX as someone who might get in the way of that.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng had everyone that he cared about taken away in an extremely short time span. If anything, I felt sorry for Jiang Cheng because, while Wei Wuxian had Lan Zhan to support him when he came back, JC didn't really have anyone to lean on. Even in those 16 years that Wei Ying was gone, he had to rebuild his clan and be a somewhat father to his shijie's son. He's definitely still a jerk, but a lonely jerk. :)

Not sure if you've watched I Hear Your Voice, which has Lee Jong Suk in it. He acts a nineteen year old in that one, while the FL is depicted as a public defender in her (I think) mid twenties. I didn't mind it the first time, but it was a little weird when I went back to watch it again. There's a lot of character development he doesn't get to do since they make the romance okay due to his mental trauma maturing him.

I know an age gap I saw recently, but didn't mind was Fix Me. A lot of people had a problem with it though.

I didn't really have a problem with the Goblin age gap since they didn't start romancing it up until later and the two did have chemistry together once they do the time skip. My biggest issue was the end when there's another time skip and she ends up younger again. That was a little eh for me.

I'm a HE person too, but sometimes I like to torture myself with SE's. I definitely am not a fan of surprise SE's. I never finished Scarlet Heart Ryeo or Make Our Days Count either because of the tragedies. I still cry when I hear the OST from SHR, lol. Also, The Smile Has Left Your Eyes was a sneaky sad ending. That one hurt.

A sad ending drama that I am looking forward too is My Country. I live for impactful sacrifice (or maybe traumatizing myself).

Lol, are you offering yourself up? Because I don't think anyone would blame you.

Oh, yeah, they slipped that one in at the last moment! I forget about it! This one has all the lovely mini ships.

Same though. That jawline could moonlight as a paper cutter. xD

In addition to the ones Sheyra mentioned, I also considering two of the psychiatric patients as a couple. They were super cute together.

It's a site. Drama3s.me. It's where I watched it :)

I personally loved the secondary couples (there are two) but they don't get a lot of romantic screen time like the main couple. They're more of a sweet side thing that happens along the way. :)

You can use drama3s as well. That one doesn't run ads on the video itself which is nice.

One of the greatest responses! Savage AF. I lost it at Baby Lans, lol.

I've had this on my plan to watch list for a little while, but I'll definitely move it up the list after this! Thanks for the article!

Hey, I wanted to share my two favorite TU FMV's. I thought ya'll might enjoy them!

This one is more wangxian and focuses on their journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnR5q_CTuY&list=LLvssO4aI2r6HNqA95Qa6-dw&index=14&t=0s

This one is more focused on Wei Wuxian's journey along his dark path, but still wangxian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wby4EY_xD-w&list=LLvssO4aI2r6HNqA95Qa6-dw&index=13&t=0s

Honestly, yes. She professed her love for the SL one second and then did a 180 the next episode. I couldn't really get behind it. I will go down with that ship!

Don't force yourself, it may just not be your cup of tea! However, if it's any consolation, it took me until about episode 25/30 to really get sucked in. I liked it before then, but the storyline really comes together right around those episodes and that's when I fell completely in love. Not sure what episode you're on, but maybe if you get to that point it might click for you! I do hope you love it if you decide to pick it back up! :)

Same! He legitimately did so much for her willingly. I do wish we got to explore his character more for sure!

I really thought the ML was super arrogant and rarely listened to her when she really needed it. Also wasn't a fan of what they did to the SL at the end. I felt like it was injustice for his character for the sake of continued drama.

I suffered some hardcore SLS from Miss Truth, but that was only because I thought the second ML treated her better and had more chemistry with the female lead. There are a few other times, but it rarely happens anymore. I think most of the time I just feel sorry for the second lead, but I like shipping the OTP a lot.

These days I try to stay away from dramas with storylines that milk the second love line too much. It get's a little exhausting watching them chase the FL when she obviously loves someone else. Plus, I feel like if you really do love someone, you would want to see the happy. Even if letting go is hard, if you really profess to love someone, you should want what's best for them. I think that's why I've come to dislike the second love trope.
