Yes, she's really become a formidable woman.

Her mother also raised DM to have zero sense of self worth, and then blames her for being bullied by her SiL.

He's such a spineless git, and selfish to boot.

I don't think we're watching the same drama, because she absolutely did not give her money away 🤣

Yeah, I was like, my girl is BOLD, is she really undressing? And then she came out, and they got me good 🤣

This is definitely a thing that some dramas are guilty of, and having women supposedly passionately in love with MLs yet acting like terrified virgins about to be raped is tiresome at best. I feel that we see less of that these days though, thank goodness. It's a hangover from back in the day when women weren't supposed to 'want' sex, it was just for procreation, because if they did it for pleasure, they were seen as being immoral 🙄

She shows it very clearly

A dream of splendor also

I agree about the double. They went a little too hard with that one.

Song Mo, I feel your pain my dude. Ep 19 gave me blue balls as well. He looks at her like he hasn't eaten for a week and she's a juicy steak. I almost cried when she came out ready for her presentation 🤣🤣🤣

It's been on my watch list for a while, but I haven't gotten around to it

MLs dad has no political favour at this point, so if she's going to rely on him, something is going to have to change very quickly.

It's not enough to convince me they won't edit out the good kisses. You know what it's like.

Step monster is now only relying on her BiL and Daddy for support, and they are at odds, so realistically it's just Daddy. DZ has her imperial edict to decide her own marriage, so Daddy has to tread carefully there to oppose it, because telling the Emperor he made a bad decision can result in you losing your head. As much as Daddy loves his daughter/the stepmonster, I don't think he'd be prepared to risk it. The only other people who could safely interfere would be the Empress or the Grand Princess, and I can't see that either if them have a reason to intercede on step monster's behalf, especially as both were involved in the matchmaking of the leads.

I haven't seen any, but I've seen other dramas where we've been excited for the leaked kiss scenes, and they've ended up the the cutting room floor.

At the very least she needs a beating and divorce.

Yeah, Dad has a looong way to go to redeem himself. You don't get to be the good guy because you did one Dad thing after years of doing Not Dad things. He also didn't reign in his wife with how she treated Ming. The oversight would be normal for the time if he had sons he was prioritising, but he didn't. He literally only had one daughter at home who was being treated like shit by her mother.

Song Mo doing the most for his girl in the healthiest of ways. I'm also loving no toxic SML or sister/maid. I have a soft spot for strong male leads who are smitten kittens for strong smart women.

If we don't get a proper kiss on the wedding night, I will be throwing hands, because their chemistry is ELECTRIC. The way they look at each other is 🔥This drama took me by storm out of nowhere.

He was poisoned, but we don't know if that's 100% the reason for the grey hair, given that he has a grey strand already in his second life after the beating. I developed a grey 'ponytail' at the crown of my head when I left my husband at age 30
