Living Tribunal

Can you give me your opinion on who you want to strangle?

I haven't read the manhwa, so I can't comment on that, but to me, he looked too old for the role he was playing. His acting was on point, but he didn't look like Lee Won Jun (a college student) to me.

No it won't in current life.

😂 So True!!

Yeah, the internal dialogues in the novel helped us understand what the characters were thinking, but the drama didn't include them, which makes it hard for us to understand why the leads did or said something. The drama also didn't include some scenes that were in the novel like the handkerchief scene or the kicking Pei Wei Xuan on their wedding night scene. Also, I think the drama has mellowed Li Rong a bit because she was much more aggressive and flirty towards Pei Wei Xuan in the novel, constantly hitting him with her fan.

He is a supporter of the second prince in this life because he wants to take revenge against Li Chuan (the Crown Prince). We can say he is a gray character who wants to avenge his family's massacre in his previous life and prevent it from happening again in his current life by supporting the second prince.

Yes, he has.

What do you mean?

Yes, he likes her, but his duty towards his family, taking revenge for what happened to his family in the previous life, and their safety in this life are preventing him from acting on it but he is unable to control it.

Yes, he is reincarnated too and was the one behind poisioning her.

Making someone jealous doesn't mean that you love them. It isn't right to make someone you love jealous. If she had really lost her feelings for SML, she wouldn't have tried to make ML jealous by meeting with SML, knowing how insecure ML is about SML due to constant comparisons by everyone and their past relations. I don't know what you read, but even while being in the background, SRQ was always in her heart at the start. She started warming up to ML more in the novel after the whole fiasco at his uncle's house. Even when they were kissing and having s*x, she wasn't acknowledging it as her feelings for him despite the constant flirting between them. It was only after she became pregnant that she acknowledged she had affections for him.

They won't because there wasn't any in the novel.

Actually, she didn't ask for a divorce outright. Instead, she gave him options: either divorce her and lose everything he had gained, or let her take the 'guest' and be allies with her, but only at the start of their relationship problems. Divorcing her would mean no chance of a future with her, however slim it might be, and losing the positions he had gained through his hard work. So, he chose not to divorce her and became allies with her. After that, in the novel, the ML begged for forgiveness many times, but still, she didn't soften her heart.

His main purpose is actually taking revenge for his family massacre by the Crown Prince. He will support Consort Rou and will mainly try to get close to FL for his reasons.

Yeah he did come from the same past as that of ML and FL. He is trying to take revenge for his family massacre in the past life.

If they follow the novel, which they are strictly following with minor changes, then ML will be the only one to make efforts to get back together with her even after the divorce. She is very limited in her romantic actions towards him.

Yes, he did

Will the drama be watched only by female viewers and not by any male viewers? The part you said about "It's pretty much always been the exact opposite in fiction where the female character constantly gets her ego crushed by a terrible, toxic, rude man, fixes his personal issues and traumas, and has to beg for his love in the end as well" was true, but not for the last 6-7 years. The mindset of people has evolved, and they don't want to watch a naive FL begging for the love of a toxic ML after changing him. Rather, the opposite is being done now, with FLs in dramas having good and kind-natured SMLs, while the MLs have either bitchy/bad SFLs or none at all, going as far as making him a pseudo-virgin who is incapable of loving someone else other than the FL. I and the majority of male viewers wouldn't have any problem if it was done only once, but for the last 2-3 years, every drama is following the same trope as mentioned above. Second-chance dramas, if both of the leads are equally at fault, are only enjoyable when both show efforts and have equal tension because it can either make you root for only one of the characters or for both of them, but not for them together. Their efforts determine how well a viewer connects with them emotionally. If a man did something bad to you in reality, then I'm sorry in regards to him, but aren't you being hypocritical and categorizing all of us men as bad people just because of a few bad experiences you had with them?
