Luv Peony

Banging girls is materialistic to guys who just cares about being laid. If YDZ is that shallow, sure he lived a good life. Everything he wanted in life was taken or lost. I don’t know what you mean my losing/winning.

They excluded their ending in dashing youth. YY died in her sister’s place bc of what the sister did to YDZ. BLD wanted to kill the sister for her part in turning YDZ to the dark side. DY didn’t mention any of that except the sister died in prison later. That part doesn’t match up with TBOY.

Yet he still can’t have peace and happiness throughout his life. He was born with privilege but that was short lived since his family was branded as traitors and guilty of treason. His youth, innocence and aspirations died with his family. He may have any girls he wants but they don’t matter bc they are not his beloved. He was given a taste of love peace and a family life only to be lost. Everything in his life was short lived. Sure you don’t see it as tragic bc you like the materialistic things.

YDZ is the most tragic character I come across in all the dramas I watched. His life and encounters were so unfair to him and his end was just heartbreaking and sorrowful. I just hope his son's life is more content and happy than his.

Am I the only one who is drawn to the BFF?

You and I both! Lol

LOL...

This drama is well written and adapted...but I can't bring myself to complete it due to the character's endings. BDJ who grew up with everything ends up with nothing but living in a drunken state of losses, sadness, loneliness and regret. It's the stories of legends for sure, but the growth, choices, sacrifices and ending for these beloved characters are too tragic/sad.

Oh yeah you’re not the only hater, BDJ also hates YWJ in the novel for what happen to his BFF. BDJ can’t do anything to YWJ bc he knows YDZ would not be happy (even in death). So your annoyance of the character is validated lol.

This is the reason YDZ chose to kill himself in the end. He realized the mistakes and wrong he committed base on his selfish love for YWJ. He didn’t blame her but only himself bc that was his choice. YDZ is a very sad character who went from having something to ending up with nothing. It’s heart breaking.

https://youtu.be/M7SDhkoJpLc?feature=shared This post analyzed YWJ very well. In the novel, all she strive for is her freedom/her desires/her own wants and needs.. Bc of her selfishness, she used and ruined 3 men who were whole heartedly devoted to her. She was loved by many but failed everyone. In the end she always choose herself and bc of that, she ended up with nothing (in terms of life: love one, family, etc), thus the jaded character in the sequel. So everyone who pity her as a trapped person in her fate don’t see how selfish of a character she is. She has choices but she choose to sacrifice others to get to her goal.

That ep was heart breaking

She played this role very well. It suited her!

Wow…..I thought the maid is at least 18!!! So young …

the lead female and supporting actresses in this drama are so unfamiliar, i personally find them 'plain'...it seems to be the case when it comes down to light romance wuxia dramas.

KISS KH

like i say, with or without...folks complaining about the ML and FL having the same 'personality' will complain if they are something else.

lol you can’t win with it without these traits. I doubt audience will like to watch an ugly unsuccessful weirdo as the ML or an annoying bratty untalenteded FL. People will really riot if the m at in leads are that flawed.

isn't ML's cold personality a type of flaw?

crush is not the same as love. it seems like the bff has a kind of admiration/infatuation for ML. you can see a rectangle forming here: ML likes FL, 2ML likes 2FL, 2FL likes ML, FL likes ? first love is hard to grasp, it turns a lifetime of love or a lifetime of bittersweet/regret. here's hoping all the characters embraces their 'first love' and realize what kind of love is for them.
