Yi Chen was toxic as well
First of all, I would like to apologize to my 15-year-old self for reading the novel and watching the movie back in 2018. 😭😭🙏🙏
Even though I already knew all the entire story beforehand, I genuinely enjoyed the psychological suffering while watching it.
Although the acting in the movie was indeed good, the actors in the drama truly outdid themselves. Their performances were outstanding.
While I won't deny that Lu Feng's character was genuinely toxic and extremely toxic at times, I would also like to point out that Yi Chen was equally toxic.
On many occasions, he avoided explaining his situation to Lu Feng despite knowing that Lu Feng was an impulsive, hot-tempered, and emotionally unstable person. Even though he knew exactly how Luo Fang would react, he still chose to stay silent.
What frustrated me the most was that Yi Chen always seemed to choose other people over Lu Feng. Meanwhile, Lu Feng literally chose Yi Chen over everyone else. He gave up his name, his family, and his inheritance. He turned his back on his father, who was on the verge of death, and on his sister, who loved him dearly.
But for what?
In the end, Yi Chen would always choose others first. What bothered me even more was that he chose others over himself as well. Because if he had chosen himself even once, he would have chosen to stay with Lu Feng. 💔😭
This does not excuse the many unforgivable things that Lu Feng did to Yi Chen. However, what makes the story so tragic is that I actually witnessed Lu Feng's transformation from a genuinely kind person and an almost perfect boyfriend a complete green flag who stood by his partner through every hardship and was never afraid to be proud of his love into a black flag who literally became a kidnapper and a r@pist.
Watching that downfall was heartbreaking because he wasn't introduced as a bad person from the start. He gradually turned into someone completely different, consumed by his obsession, jealousy, and desperation.
