Lovely

Ae was really doing some things that would be questionable in every kind of friendship and he still thought he was straight-

Ae, "straight": doing the gayest things to Pete
Pete, gay: does nothing really.
Ae to his friend: no homo

I agree on all that. It seemed to me like poor writing at first, like kind of a hole in the story because it just doesn't seem reasonable to me, that XF, who is portrayed as this strong, bold character with all his morals on the right place and a perfect future successor, chose to stand still and do nothing for his brother who he loves and that he forgets about all his responsibilites the moment he fell for Jin Mi.
At the same time, I don't see how Night turned on him out of spite like that because despite the abuse, he seemed to love XF the most and valued him as his family and never saw any fault in XF not really helping him. Now that he lost his mother, it seems so wrong to me, that he would turn on him for a girl. Just as I thought, that it was so out of character for him to manipulate the Water Immortal to fix the marriage instead of trying to win her heart first.
I don't really like how they chose to put them against each other and how Night must be the bad one now even though he is the most pitiful character after the Flower Immortal. I think the biggest problem in those characters lies within the fact that they had no ambition at the beginning. XF didn't had a goal before it became to be with Jin Mi and Night didn't had one before it became to be with Jin Mi and then to get his revenge.

I read all you following comments and I definitely agree that XF willfully chose to not do anything. If it isn't poor writing, than I guess it could only be that XF didn't see the importance and the depth of Night's struggles, which really does make him a bad brother.
Honestly, the wholes aside, I can't really chose sides because I do understand them both, it's just sad how their relationship has to fall victim to the Empresses schemes.
As for the romance part, I am Team Jin Mi, so I'll root for XF because that's the one she loves for now.

I love this drama so much.

Park Shi Hoo's acting makes it really difficult for me to continue.

I just want to know who the "less attractive" male lead is supposed to be.

Park Shin Hye and Hyun Bin?????? That is a pairing I would've never see coming.

thank you, you helped.

I am still thankful

Wow, I thank you for you thorough answer. I am not confused anymore.

Haha, I feel the opposite. I am kinda a little disappointed they didn't chose another male lead. D.O just doesn't really gives of the male lead vibe to me.
and I loved Nam Ji Hyun in everything I saw her in.

I honestly will just watch this for Nam Ji Hyun. I love her so much.

just because the plot sounds similar doesn't mean that she plays the same character though.

can you explain to me how that misunderstanding developed. I am so confused right now.

Was it good???

can someone tell me who Jinmi's father is. I feel like I missed something.

haha that makes it even worse. I really need to pick up my interest on this one

is it even a drama if one character didn't dramatically lose their parents?

honestly, this show suprises me every week. the stories are all so real, so important, so usually untold.

If you found subs, hit me up pls.
