I write from the perspective of a story analyst and drama reviewer. As far as I'm concerned critiquing characters,…
Yes, I completely agree (again) with everything you wrote. May I just add that not too long ago people were complaining non stop about the usual female character trope that - since the beginning of time - was only worried about getting herself a man and had zero ambitions outside of the classic fairy tale ending.
Now we have this one male character whose more revered trait is the fact that his only priority in life (literally) is his beloved. The dude has zero ambitions and has shown over and over that he prefers to die should the lass ever die before him. So which one is it? For a woman, this is considered pathetic, old-fashioned (imagine a woman giving up her life for a man in this day and age!) but for the man it's the one quality that makes him the ideal guy and all the other guys are just the epitome of toxicity. I'm confused. As I wrote somewhere below, we don't need to emasculate men in order to empower women. This character apparently is even more of a background character in the original work the drama is based on. Hats off for the actor for being able to flesh the character out a bit more to even make it relevant enough for these discussions to be warranted. So when fans find out that this type of character is not really appealing to a vast majority of the audience, it shouldn't really come as a surprise. Endgame or not, it's a darn shame.
The comments like when if I was younger I would go for the bad boys but now I'm older I want to go for the good…
You hit the nail on the head! But boy, the things I've read from the "purest love" team... woof. They are craving some neck bites but won't admit it 😎🔥
The usual complaints about Orchid are getting so old. She's a fairy, a flower fairy to be more specific. A young flower fairy. Her roots were damaged. There's plenty of character development (she's not really what she seems to be). That sums it up. Okay? Okay.
No, but really. There must be a strand of soul left somewhere. I'd give all the colors of my eyes to save this dude lol and I need them for my job but I'd be willing to paint only in black & white from now on 😹
Question for viewers who didn't read the book first. Are you confuse watching the series? What was your expectation…
The thing about different mediums is that one should not and does not need to ready the book prior to watching any film/tv show/musical or any other kind of adaptation. They need to be their separate entities. I haven't read the novel so my perspective is different. But I was able to understand it :)
