I'm sorry, but she is already in danger because everyone else knows she is his wife. Her home was destroyed because Evil Dimples was mad at her husband. If she at least knew his identity, she could maybe be more prepared for things. While yes, I'm sure there will be issues with the disparity of their situations, she is a rational woman who should be given the opportunity to choose what she wants to do. Her autonomy and safety are being taken away in the guise of "protection."

I would agree with you early on, but now it is getting a bit ridiculous. Literally everyone but her knows his true identity.

I call him Evil Dimples.

I had a very teary lunch today because of that scene. They really knocked it out of the park.

I yelled at my screen, "Cry later... get help for the man dying in your arms!" That was seriously ridiculous. Also, the sequence of her aunt happily running to QYK, the crazed mass murderer, made absolutely no sense to me.

I am so frustrated with this lagging plot and the back-and-forth. CZ has had next to no character growth. I do like the small growth we've seen from MQY. His character is more interesting and she seems to learn nothing and keeps doing the same thing on repeat. At least it seems we are finally getting somewhere.

I would say it is because she abandoned him, as so many people had before. She said she loved him and then left. It is a betrayal of sorts. I completely understand why he doesn't want to talk about her.

Just finished the first five episodes and this is fire! 🔥 There is so much to enjoy. ZLH and TXW are adorable together and have such great chemistry. I've also had my heart broken multiple times by how the FL is treated (probably used like half a box of tissues already). I can't wait for more!

I think he chose well. The characters in this drama are so interesting, and I love their interactions. It is rare to see a drama like this, so I think he was wise to be a character he really hasn't been before. 😊

You really hit the nail on the head about a solid foundation for a relationship. This is my frustration right now that she won't tell him the truth. I feel like things are going to explode soon, mainly because of her insecurities and her unwillingness to be herself around him.

This drama is so different fora romance, and I am loving it. I think it feels very real, and some serious truths are being dropped in the dialogue. I can't wait to see where this is going!

I have to say that this really hooked me. I'm rather invested in where this story is going.

I really enjoyed the dressing down she gave the Emperor. Clearly he didn't want to hear his shortcomings, but she said everything I was thinking. I was glad they were together at the end. I would like to think they can deal with whatever is thrown their way.

I second the emperor from Love Like the Galaxy (I think he is the best). The actor who plays the emperor in this drama also played the emperor in Destined, where he was mostly good (he did cause the leads to suffer a bit, saved them, but made some bad choices). The emperor in Story of Kunning Palace was decent too. I have to agree, though, that there seem to be quite a few scumbag emperors in these stories. 😅

She actually grew on me (much later). I, too, was not pleased with her character in that part of the show.

The low rating seems typical for "crime" shows on MDL, where there may be a hint of romance because the romance isn't the main theme. Also, this could be due to haters. I personally think this is a well-done show and definitely worth watching. I do look forward to the episodes each day.

I couldn't agree more! I am so done with her. He has been crystal clear about his feelings for her (friendship), but she keeps going and going. I hope it doesn't last through the rest of the episodes.

I was wondering the same thing after they introduced the Narcotics division. I am hoping she is a CI, because the alternative may be heartbreaking.

Mainly from the emotions. They got engaged, were super happy, and then she went to the real world. It showed them together, yet separately, and that was rather bittersweet. Hence, the crying. I also cried at the end, but for good reasons. I was essentially in a cage of emotion and cried it out. 😅

Yes, he is the same. I don't remember them explaining how he was there at the beginning, but at the end, he said he was going to come to her world for her and did.

Same! I am also glad I bought express a while ago. I really enjoyed this drama, even though I did cry my eyes out towards the end. Yeah, the second couple was rather... meh. I will definitely be rewatching this at some point... highly entertaining and enjoyable.
