Im not saying it makes sense, I am just explaining the writers’ train of thought when they decided to add that. In my opinion, this lacking realism was the less problematic part since its dramaland, but it was the fact that he faked his death in front of the woman he loves and left her completely traumatized.

What if in a moment of weakness she committed suicide since the kingdom is in her brother’s hands and the man she loves is not there anymore? She could feel like there was no point to continue living. And then we would have a Romeo and Juliet situation. When he woke up from "death" he would find out she died because she thought he was dead....and then he would commit suicide too.

I think the whole faking his death was unnecessary. I know why they did it, so the brother would stop being doubtful about his sister, which is another whole story....I cant believe the kingdom was left in his hands, but I think they could have found a smarter and more realistic way to accomplish this objective of regaining the pabo’s trust.

I think I remember he used some protection below his armor and fake blood. And about him not breathing, there is actually a drug that will slow you heart rate so much that you look dead but after it wears off you wake up. Of course there are risks associated with using this drug since it messes with your heart and it could cause it to stop beating, but it is totally possible and has been used several times in real life for like prison escapes and other situations where people had to look dead for a certain period of time.

It is also not the first time I have watched a drama where they use this kind of plotline of someone faking death by taking this drug.

Yeah, the story had potential but that was it. The script was average and the ending was predictable in a frustrating way.

Yeah, I guess I remembered right.

Let me know if this ever gets proper subs. I cant stand auto-translations.

Hm, I dont want to spoil it for you so let me just try to make you find the answer without actually giving you the answer.

She is a real person, he is a character from her novel. From your previous experience watching dramas with a similar plot, what do you think happens in the last episode?

Don’t answer as it would literally be a spoiler. Just think about it and decide if you still want to watch. I dont regret watching. I just wish the way it ended was different.

Yeah. I think a lot of people were not very happy about that sub-plot they added around episode 25.

Yeah, I know. That is why I said next time. The next drama you watch, if you are not sure who the ML is, it is usually the first man that appears in the cast from left to right, top to bottom.

hahaha This is a good one, but the ending might leave you frustrated. So its up to you to decide if its worth watching.

Although I read the spoilers before I started, I still cried buckets at the end. Just why? That ending is so unsatisfying. Bittersweet is as nice as it can get when describing it. At least there should be 1 more episode to make it realistic but less heartbreaking. But no, they just ended it there. Sigh

True, my bad. XD

If you mean Vincenzo, yeah, I made the mistake of starting it while it was airing. And the funny thing is I almost dropped it. The first 2-3 episodes did not really catch my attention mainly because the FL being on the villains side angered me. Then as I was thinking about how the FL needed a wake up call or I would drop the drama...something happened. (cant say more since you just started it, dont want to spoil it)

But after that I felt the story got more interesting and I just kept liking it more and more with each episode. It has a good amount of many genres - comedy, thriller, law, crime, drama, slight romance, ...

Let me know when this gets subbed.

hahaha true. I keep watching them like there is no way I will be disappointed and I keep getting slapped on the face. But its a love-hate relationship because some Chinese historical dramas are my favorite dramas of all time even if I started with Korean dramas.

Right now I wouldn't even be able to tell you if I prefer K-dramas or C-dramas. Not many good K-dramas have been coming out...well, except Vincenzo, which is my favorite K-drama of the year. I know its a little early to call it, but I doubt another drama will be able to make me laugh, cry, smile and get angry all in one episode. XD

No problem. They did announce in the last episode that a 2nd season is coming, but I have no idea when so you might as well wait. I would have waited too if I knew.

Just coming back here to tell you its 12 episodes and they are all now subbed on YouTube. There is going to be a 2nd season tho as many questions were left unanswered so it might be a good idea to wait and watch the whole thing together.

Yeah, if it wasnt for those last episodes I would have given it a higher rating. I would still re-watch it, its a good drama.

There was no misleading. Ye Miao legit appears in the first scene of the first episode talking in retrospective. Also, it is revealed pretty early on that the boy she met in the past was him and not his brother. And usually the ML is the first man to appear in the cast list. Ye Miao is in front of Ye Lin.

When in doubt check the cast so you will know who is the ML and will not feel disappointed next time.

I dont know why people were so surprised by the turn of events. From the first scene I could tell this would be a more dramatic kind of drama and I felt the fluffy scenes were just added to lighten the mood a little bit. The last few episodes went full on drama and I think that was why people were so angry.

With that said, I was not surprised by all the melodrama, I just thought it was too much and the story would have been much better had it went in a different direction.

Yeah, they spent the last few episodes on the female antagonist’s scheme, the break up and flashbacks. Could have used that time to wrap things up neatly instead off adding unnecessary extra drama.
