You:
>"you look so dumb to be fighting demons assuming the plot line just by one episode😭 like just watch it further dude if you wanna emphasize with the characters... or don't watch it at all what's so deep"

> attempts public ridicule on english speaking board
> doesn't know the difference between "emphasize" and "empathize".

But please tell me more about what looks dumb to you🤣

I thought (based on the other person who replied to me) the husband knew she wasn't pregnant, but he DIDNT know she had just found out that she was unable to have children. That's two separate things. So I thought when the ML says what would he do if he found out, he's not talking about her not actually being pregnant, but he's talking about how she can NEVER have kids. And that's what she didn't want the guy to find out before she married him, not that she wasn't actually pregnant, which was a lie he was in on anyways.

?

The fact that he might leave her if he knew, is WHY she should have told him before roping him into committing to her forever. Well, it's not as bad as I first thought, but it's still pretty bad. That is just such a low low thing to do to another person you supposedly love.

I think part of what has me reacting strongly to her behavior there is that after I was no longer able to have kids, I have had to have a few difficult conversations where I was honest and forthright about things from the outset with a potential partner who needed to know before getting involved with me. I would never do what she did, and I know this because I've lived it. When you really love someone, you wish the best for them. It's not just about selfish love and what you can get out of someone. There has to be a level of respect for that other person. I just can't believe she was really about to do that to that poor guy.

I'm obvs not knocking this drama, because I haven't barely even started it, but my ultimate pet peeve in a drama is a liar FL so I think this one is a drop for me. Yall have fun with it tho, blessings <3

That makes no sense to me. If the pregnancy is fake from the outset and always will be, then why does she have that crazy upset reaction that she's menopausal, as if she needs to be pregnant right away? She makes it seem like they would just white lie the pregnancy, but then make good on the lie as quickly as possible.

If that's the case, then the ML would still be under the assumption that the FL is fertile, and that he's marrying a fertile woman. If a woman is sterile for some reason and knows it, that HAS to be a conversation with the person they want to marry BEFORE they marry, so he can go into the relationship as a conscious choice.

Basically you can't find out you'll never have children, and then NOT tell the person you're about to marry. That's unethical.

So then why is she so upset about finding out she's in menopause, saying "But I have to have an 8 week old baby?" If it was his idea that she lie about it, then why does it devastate her to find out she can't get pregnant and when she cries about it, it's not about her future, it's about how she can't pull off fake pregnancy anymore? Im so confused!

I started this, but I can NOT get behind an FL who is willing to lie about being pregnant to trick a man into marrying her. What a total scum. I'm partway through ep 2 and about to drop.

It's actually not interesting. Much like this drama.

Also, the type of romance gets some people caught off guard...

This is a story about a ML whos got it BAD for the FL, and the FL is not (consciously) thinking about the ML as a romantic interest. He's her teacher, and then there's several other plot-related reasons why she'd never consider him as a possibility.

ML watches FL like a hawk from the start of the show basically, and he's lowkey obsessed with her, and is (very very secretly) very very possessive over her. So when he finds out she has a crush on another guy in like ep 10 or something, he is surprised, and he is ticked off. And he starts to lecture her, saying basically (I'm paraphrasing here) "It's obvious to me that you like him, and if it's obvious to me it would be obvious to your enemies here in the palace. If anyone finds out you like him, then he's going to be in danger, because as far as your enemies are concerned, he is your ultimate weak point, and they will press on it to hurt you. It gives them leverage over you, so you better bury that shit, and keep it to yourself."

But what he's describing there, is his feelings about HER!

So if you watch for it, you can see the tension and desire in him rising and becoming stronger from the very outset.

But her? She is just on another planet with a puppy-love crush on this other guy. She's oblivious to ML's feelings -- partly because his social standing intimidates her, and partly because he deliberately hides his feelings **till he can't control himself any longer**! When things inevitably fall through with her crush, he immediately swoops in to "be there for her", and that's when things change, and he starts steadily losing his cool, succumbing to his strong feelings of desire for her, driven by jealousy and possessiveness.

But she's a dingbat! I mean she's smart... really smart. But she's totally oblivious to his feelings for her **because he deliberately hid them from her and everyone else**, so when he starts finally coming onto her, she doesn't "get it". He has to literally attack her for her to "get it".

So this is a love story about an unsuspecting bunny rabbit being stalked by a lion and then pounced on!!!! It's just BAM!!!!

Well some people find they don't like that kind of love story. They say "I'm not feeling any attraction from the FL to the ML," or "There wasn't a lot of romantic buildup," or "Isn't that basically assault?!" But I thought it was HOT. And so did the FL.

No clear consensus. It's about a 50-50 split of opinion.

Well people like them can't come into the palace armed with weapons. So he's weaponless. He knows his bros have got this. That scene where yan lin jumps in he is lookin fine right there. <3 Xie Wei is like "oh f*ck..."

If you asked Xie Wei "why u no haz martial arts wtf?" He would put on his cranky face and tellyou he's just a bit rusty. Then he'd storm off and go play angry sounding music on his qin by himself.

I'm on my 6th rewatch, and he's still hot, and he's a really compelling choice for her, but since I am a vampire lover and ML is so vampy and moody and cranky and brooding, I just see it as no contest. Vamp wins. But I still do love Yan Lin tho. I love the way the stylist did his hair in this show, best I've ever seen him look. And he's just acting his ass off, he's very sexayyy.

Plus, in the second timeline, she still has the memory of him being super nasty to her at the end of her first lifetime, so she's seen this side of him that definitely if it were me would make it hard to fall in love with him. Even if in this timeline, it's not the same 'him' that was so nasty, he didn't actually do anything. But she would know that if pushed far enough, he's capable of that kind of behavior. It's just unsettling. Brings a little bit of a chill to their relationship.

SWAK I just went and looked at it's MDL page, and I realized that this was like so red flag that I - a red flag lover - actually noped out on it. Maybe the most toxic ML I've ever seen. I gave it a fair shot, maybe 5 eps or something? But I could see NOTHING redeemable about him whatsoever. I hated his ass so much I had to quit watching it! That was like apex red-flag, lol! Probably the worst ML I've ever seen, worse than the korean guy who runs the chicken fast food chain in My Heart Twinkle Twinkle who was such a bastard! My auntie calls him "Chicken Man" and we still make jokes about him because he was so awful.

tysm what about I will never let you go, the confidence, unexpected falling and moon lovers scarlet heart ryeo? do they have HE's or SE's?

sad ending/happy ending

GBMP and the Wolf both have SE's right? Do any of your reccs have HE's?

So then someone else later is going to say "I can't move on, what do you recc?", and what would you say to them? 🤣

Just about the only thing wrong with SoKP imo, is that it's the best thing I ever watched. Where are you supposed to go from there.

Tysm!!! ❤️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Like watching someone try to light a pile of moss and twigs in the rain with waterproof matches and ypu spend the first 2/3 of the drama like "what even am i doing watching this nothings happening" and then suddenly BOOM, raging forest fire!!!

"Well, that escalated quickly..."

I love red flag ML's, but this one was kind of jerkish and tepid. And he was wearing high heels and a really foofy coat, and to me nothing about that ML said "Manly" or "Crazy" the way I prefer. I like long hair, black leather pants, crazed logic, impulsiveness, dangerousness, and total obsession. This was like the polar opposite of that. To me, this ML gives off kind of creepster vibes.

To me this is the best set of circumstances to watch it under:
*You are bored and you feel like you've seen everything else
*You're ready for a long slow immersive story
*You feel like a cozy 3-day binge maybe on a stormy/snowy/rainy dark night
* All the lights out, and no distractions

IMO, this is like if Jane Eyre was a vampire story and a c-drama at the same time. Jane Eyre is a lonnnngggg read, but it's sooo cozy and the payoff is really really good.

Also: I am so so SO into vampire stories, and to me this was one of the best vampire stories EVER, and there's not even a vampire in it! If you have problems at first with the tone of the story or wondering where ML is at mentally, just pretend he's a vampire and it will all start to fall together.
