That's crazy. Your argument is like saying: "I made my kid work when he was 6, now guess how strong and independant he is at 20!". Or, exagerating more: "I beat my son sometimes, and now he is much resilent than the otehr kids"!!! Well, sure, but...

Sure, FL turned strong and independant in part "thanks" to her mother. But that is not better than having experienced mother love. The script goes far overboard with her, and I dont mean only for the beatings. A good example is when we hear the mother speak with her friend, kind of admiting she went overboard disciplining her... and the next scene its a festivity her daughter never attended, and the mother still goes, grabs yan yang infront of her daughter, and tells her: "you've never been here, come with me, let us enjoy it" and leave the daughter behind. She hadnt even done anything wrong at that point. Didnt make any sense at all. That doesnt have anything to do with disciplining or independance or even protecting yang yang. She was just mean to FL

Scriptwriters may have wanted to show what you explain, but they went too far by a lot.

so? it's also better than a drama were everybody dies at the end. doesn't make it a good thing.

I don't like one-sided loves in any direction. having dramas were it's the opposite is no excuse to make it the other way

It wasnt a sudden breakup, it took some time. The events that end with the breakup start in 19 and in 21 she finally decides to give up and convinces the other guy to also give up

well, yeah, love square, even worse. the first guy was already annoying enough (not the guy himself, the entire plot about another guy). and then they had to add ANOTHER one... omg. they really went all out on tickling girls guilty pleasure.

All those things you list as good things, I already noticed them. That's why I am still watching and enjoying the drama. Even more, that I still think the drama is very good, even with all the crap I listed, speaks of how good everything else is.

I would still totally recommend the show, I am enjoying it. But I am enjoying it despite the onesided romance, not thanks to it.

Not exactly, altho some of the dramas you listed are indeed very good.

What I want is chemistry. And chemistry cant happen if the love is very onesided. A show with chemistry can be slowburn, but that means, both of them slowly fall in love more and more.

In this show, ML falls instantly for her (like you try to mock on the shows you list). And FL doesnt slowly fall for him more and more.

She doesnt want anything to do with him, until in episode 27 she realizes he helped her, then she goes from 0 to 50. She still doesnt like him, just thinks she is good for her. And then in episode 38 when they "torture" him, she again goes from 50 to 100 and finally loves him.

But during 38 episodes it was completly onesided. It was a show for girls enjoying having the amazing ML constantly be in awe of FL while she minds her own business.

You accuse me of wanting tropes, but you find the love triangles and that ML instantly falls for her at first sight fine. xD

when did I say FL was evil or something? it's disgusting scriptwise. the triangles, FL not really loving him until episode 38, ML needing to carry all the romance, him having to endure FL with other guys while already loving her...it's not that FL is bad, it's the script that is annoying in that regard

Yep, sometimes teh rating is not just because it was an 8, but because it had parts that were a 9 and parts brought that rating down

I wont write everything I already wrote again, you can read my other messages. But here's something new:
Im on episode 33. ML has been in love with her for like 30 episodes. FL still hasnt shown a sign of love. Yet scriptwriters think it's more important to create yet another scene where ML has to apologize to FL again.
The show is good. But their relationship is clearly thought to please girls guilty pleasure.

I literally said "everything else is good"

But the onesided effort in their love, the stupid love triangles (in plural!), the breakup, the "ML has to apologize and FL to forgive like aaaalways".... All that sucks and makes this not be a masterpiece.

I am still watching the show despite that crap, so it means the rest is very good.

i mean, the show it's still good. everything else is amazing. but their relationship is indeed aimed at girls guilty please of the most powerful guy loving FL like crazy, pursuing her, and doing all the work while she is just "strong and independent".

still, the rest is very good so I wouldn't completely discard it. And FL is still lovely, this doesn't make her annoying like other shows. it just lets you... wanting to see her do some effort too. but not hate her

Im not saying she did wrong for rejecting him while she was engaged. I say the scriptwriters did wrong for engaging her to somebody else. Or for creating love triangles in general.

But that's not the only moment she was indifferent. It's a pitty, because there were a few episodes were they started having sparkles around them, like when she healed his arrow wound. But then she seemed not only to start likeing the otehr guy, but to even feel uncomfortable around ML

The last scene Ive seen, he is injured at home, and she goes visit him (forced by her dad), and she doesnt want anything more than to leave and be rid of him. It's pretty disgusting.

And Im not saying she HAS to like him... if this was real life. But this is a romance. A "love like the galaxy". And the only one loving like the galaxy is him

There, look how you described the good things about each of them:
FL: bold, intelligent...
ML: patient with FL....

That's the problem of this romance. It's very onesided. It's made for girl watcher guilty pleasure. Im still at episode 22, but it's not cute at all.

And about jealusy, same thing. I dont mean ML is unlikeable because he is too jealous, like in other shows. I said it's disgusting that ML has to bear jealous scenes of FL being with not only one but 2 other guys!!!!

It's exactly how you say. FL is strong, independant, and has ML crazy for her, doing all the work, and enduring all her indifference and scenes with other guys. Sweet my ass...

And don't get me wrong. Everything else about the show is amazing. But the love triangles, and "onesideness" of their love... is terrible

Depends. If you find unlikeable for FL having 2 other love interests, even getting engaged to one of them.... right infront of ML when he was happily going to see her, later starting dating ML just to use him and only start likeing him later, and then close to the end breaking up with him for 5 years.... then maybe this is not for you.
Besides all that, she is very likeable, clever, pretty, fun.... but yeah, regarding how he treats ML in most parts of the show.... pretty unlikeable

I finally decided to watch this show even knowing it has some annoying things.
But it is clear to me that most of the high ratings come from girls wanting FL to have a harem and watching ML get jealous over her.

Well, I admit the rest is good. But these 2 things are disgusting.

I've been told that many times. I guess I will continue. but I don't see how that annoying breakup until the last episode won't leave me with a bad tase

shows can be slow burn without annoying love triangles and breakups

here is my list if you are searching for things to watch

you could watch it, the show is very light-hearted and everything I explain only happens mildly.
