I agree that the drama has some problematic tropes like Shan Shan forgiving easily and Feng Teng being quite controlling.…
tbh i stopped watching when she found out n then forgave the girl -- didnt realize or remember that she broke up with him --- they loved to add a long break-up in those old dramas
i was just so upset when she brushed off what the girl did --- and didnt tell her off that i stopped watching!
i rewatched and now im not sure why i liked this drama before????
Maybe I can no longer stomach weak FLs and forgiving others easily --- i was really longing for a moment when she would stand up for herself and say she is someone of worth -- not just Feng Big Boss!! or to tell of the fake friend who played her while smiling in her face ---sis that girl kissed ur man while u were downstairs and u eventually tell her everything is OK --- excuse me???
I know that was d style of old dramas but i was still hoping for her to stand up for herself and not be bossed around while in a relationship
I binged it again, dont know why, still enjoyed it. Its such a good drama
i just rewatched an d came to say im not sure y i liked it lol ---
i think its because for a big part of the drama they just kept the msg that he was gold and she wasnt worth to lick his boots --- there was never a moment where she stood up for herself : against his communication style, the fake friend Lu Shui, the co-workers or anyone
did i just like the affection that was so easy for the ML back then??
exacly very rude and intolerabele ml . this is not even romance ! Whenever I see the poster of this serie . I…
this happened before they knew each other or were together -- which was a terrible thing but was never personal ---
ur earlier comment made it seem like he did it her again to her after he felt guilty about finding out it she was the employee he made quit -- ive seen MLs that personally treated the FL badly for all types of weird reasons while they knew each or after breaking up --- in this drama i never got to see him treat her badly -- but he did say sorry, repent and even quit
if she didnt get back with him - id also be OK with her decision and she had a right to be hurt----- but u guys made it seem like those old kdramas where the ML is personally cold and cruel to FL for many eps and labelled him as the worse ML ever --- he really wasn't.
while she was personally and professionally rude to him from the beginning -- but even her actions i let go of
My only defense is that the flashbacks in the early eps were done in a novel way and really well Tbh even doh…
I liked the editing at the beginning where the scenes crossed ...for example if the scene was driving ...it would flash to a similar scene in the past .. i thought it was cleverrrr lol
