i really like the look of the xiyan costumes!! especially the high priestess's — the dangly jingly bits of her headdress reminds me of the jibaro siren (from love death + robots)
in the middle of ep 17 now and i love that we /did/ get the miscommunication trope. not between the leads, but between MJH and the wei guy 😆😆😆 he tried so hard to discourage his crush on ML but wei misunderstood so bad LOL
the ep 19 trailer has me so excited omg is there anything more humiliating for the CP than having his own wife-to-be run out of their wedding ceremony to chase another man 😂
The drama has a good balance of romance and conspiracy, but it's lacking the thrilling , intriguing or engaging…
yeah i kinda get what you mean! this drama does take its time with one major conspiracy instead of the usual formula we get from other conspiracy/revenge dramas (usually something like antagonist stirring up trouble → leads figure it out and deliver a payback → rinse n repeat until the final major arc)
the plot beats in this drama keep it interesting for me though, so i don't mind the slower approach. it feels more character-driven
It's just weirder that he's more shy than her. The trailers and his character in the beginning didn't seem shy…
that's valid!! i guess to me i don't find it too weird because he only trained her up to kill him for his plan. so it makes sense he'd be awkward when their relationship instead took a turn towards something he didn't foresee happening (i doubt romance was at the forefront of his mind throughout the years he dealt with the qingzhou massacre aftermath)
((my question is more about people's expectations of his villainy, not his romance with ML))
based on the posters we got before the drama started, i personally thought that LM's actress does have a pretty handsome face that would suit a female general. but watching her on camera is no fun... she barely has any expressions ?_?
I believe most of these comments are made by men. No woman wants to be mistreated, humiliated and placed in the…
gosh YES to all you've said... i wish people who want MJH to act one certain way would realise that it'd only cause his character to be flattened! and that's just bad writing! the drama wouldn't be enjoyable!!!
I don’t understand why some like violence against women. There is enough of that in the real world, would like…
!!! hard agree. truly we as a society have progressed the need for plot points involving violence against women as a shock value (even in horror media. i'm sick of it). i don't trust most writers to handle such a sensitive topic, and i don't think it has a place in this drama if it's meant to be a romance
