Cdrama writers are perverted,wonder how they will pull off the 2ML moving from one sister to another.
moving to other person in a love triangle is not the problem at all. Problem is moving from one sister to other, especially after how strongly the 2ML pursues the FL.
This at least is better since the 2ML does not date or have cute moments with FL. I have dramas where FL dates both brothers and has cute moments with both brothers. Absolutely disgraceful writing from drama authors. Not sure what kind of message they are trying to send.
This Love pentagon which involves sisters, brothers and teachers is a prime Jerry Springer candidate.
Only normal ones seem to be ML and FL for a change.
FL is too nice, should have slapped the crap out of 2ML when he tried to feel frisky knowing FL had a boyfriend. Her being nice gave him impression it's ok to do what he is doing. A lesson, if you are already in a relationship and some one tries be funny with you knowing that fact - be savage.
Well, 2ML is not sticking to the FL to be her friend. How many times does the 2ML grabs the FL by her shoulder, touches her face etc etc....Do male friends do that to their female friends? a big NO.
Like I said, 2ML in Cdramas make the FL look like a fool. No women who has dated would be so ignorant as to why a guy is sticking her and keeps touching her.
I seriously lost count on how many dramas are out there where main lead or second lead starts their relationship…
Probably the worst trope currently in Cdramas, especially when FL is not aware of her brother wanting to shag her. Second worst is girl dating brothers/cousins or having sweet interactions with them. Third worst would be the guy dating sisters (have not seen this trope played in any Cdrama though, hence third worse)
I see that many people dislike 2nd ML but up to this point I kinda enjoy the comedy! I even think it might be…
And to juice it up, should have the ML date the cute colleague from the office who is after him. Their fluffy interactions before the FL might wake her heart for the ML.
For someone who loves and watched both Ten Miles Peach Blossom and Ancient Love Poetry, I will give my side of…
Spot on,
For me TMPB is not a love story. It is story of Bai Qian. It's basically the FL story. It's about her first love, It's about her central aim in the series, to bring back her master, it's about her tribulations to become a goddess, it's about her second love who we all pretend is the ML.
There really is no ML in TMPB. Ye Hua is just a plot device to show the growth of Bai Qian.
There is only one lead in this series & thats Bai Qian. There are numerous supporting characters who accompany her in her journey & one of them happens to be the Ye Hua.
For all who think otherwise, pretend Ye Hua did not exist in TMPB, we would still have a great story of Bai Qian.
Now imagine ALP without ML or FL...there is absolutely nothing to the story.
A lot of us tried to compare Ancient love poetry with Ten mile of peach blossoms. I would also like to raise my…
Opposite for me,
ALP is way way better than Eternal Love. In ALP, the central theme for both ML and FL is their love for each other. It's not about other things. 'other' things are there as plot devices to show the love of ML and FL.
On the contrary, Eternal Love has nothing to do with it's name sake. Only ML was invested in love. FL on the other hand had ML may be on 3rd or 4th on her list of priorities. She had other more important things to do and uses ML to reach her goals. Right until the ML death, you don't get any sense of "Eternal Love" from FL towards ML. After his death, all her crying and drinking just came across as fake. She never showed it when ML was alive or showed her desperation to be with ML.
Wondering if you guys have to name only 1 person in this drama that u hate the most, who will it be?
SML, This slime ball is using his Female Student to hit on her sister.
Eventually these two will end up but how in the world can the fact that this dude was hitting on FL and using the sister only to end up with the sister.
FL goes for family lunch with her childhood sweetheart and both sets of parents are talking about marriage. In another scene we meet FL ex-boyfriend who is mean her.
The FL parents did not know she had a boyfriend? Why would they be going all cute about them being childhood sweethearts who are destined for each other?
Just could not understand the whole set up, writing is horrible and editing is terrible.
Great ML and FL characterization. Like how the story revolves around the main leads and supporting cast is there to support them and not take canter stage.
ik everyone has different tastes, but this was rly not as bad as everyone made it out to be in the comments!pros:-…
Wow, thank you.
I really mean it. Thought I was the only one here who felt the "brother" falling for the FL was creepy as hell. She was thinking he was a brother to her & the brother was having kinky thoughts.
All the SML actions become suspect at that point. He only ever cared for the FL because he wanted to have a relationship with her & used her thinking of him as brother to achieve that.
This trope is carried across numerous Cdrama's & as rightly pointed out, it is incest.
I could feel the Eternal Love of the ML for the FL. All I could feel from FL was how she used ML for her own goals. Her crying for an episode at the end does not make up for how she came across as some one for whom ML love was never top priority. She had her own more important things to do, which I guess is fair enough - just should not have named the drama as 'Eternal Love'.
This is what you look for in an epic love story, an unwavering love between the leads, angst, sacrifice and a happy ending.
The story of the leads is breath-taking. What they go through, their longing for each other and the lengths they would go to protect each other. The two actors did a phenomenal job in carrying the multiple roles they portrayed.
This is by far the best Xianxia drama ever, followed closely by Love and Redemption and Ashes of Love. This is an example for future Cdrama writers and directors how to make an epic love story. You need both the leads to be invested in love for it to be epic.
Fl not dating both brothers, stop spamming, its not first time i saw same messege from you
I think the writer & director are aiming for cool girl & pure guy thing but in most dramas the FL come across as undeserving the ML.
Have seen couple of dramas (unfortunately) this year 'Dr Cutie' & 'A love so romantic' where at the end of the drama, I wished the ML would end up being alone than be with the horrible FL. In both these dramas, the FL runs away with the brother of ML.
I doubt there would be many people in reality who would run away with sibling of their lover and even consider dating them but Cdramas portray these angles so regularly. This is just disgusting and makes the FL look absolutely horrible, creepy and pathetic.
I think the Cdrama writers and directors need some therapy where they are made to write 1000 times 'sibling of your lover is not your backup lover or future lover'..
Fl not dating both brothers, stop spamming, its not first time i saw same messege from you
I love all kinds of tropes, even brothers falling with a girl/ sisters falling in love with a guy. BUT these complicated stories have to be done very carefully.
'falling into your smile' is one of my fav dramas this year. It had typical ML who is your typical Cdrama ML and FL was typical Cdrama FL. It was so much fun and was directed so well. The ML has a brother and that brothers interactions with the FL were a hoot and one of the best ones in the drama. Similarly 'Ancient love poetry', which probably will be one of my fav all time, has standard tropes but the whole thing was done masterfully.
The first love/pure love/older woman-younger man tropes work for me... What don't work though is siblings falling in love with same person and crossing boundaries that should never be crossed.
Just to make the whole comparison lot more uncomfortable, how would it feel if the ML had feelings for the FL and the FL's mother? I know bringing the FL mother is crossing a different line but the comparison is very apt. the relationship feels disgusting when the mother is brought in. It should be disgusting when the sister is brought in as well. After all the blood relationship exists in both cases.
Sister and mother of the girl you love are your sister and mother as well & vice versa for a girl. These relationships are something you love and cherish for what they offer us in our life with the one we love.
I wish Cdramas would cut down on the trope or do it tastefully. In many dramas the brother of ML even thought the FL is dating the ML keeps going at it. It just left a terrible taste for me.
It's not like these creepy love triangle adds anything to the actual story, it does not.
Take this show for example - had it been a family friend of older friend of ML, it would have worked so well but it just had to be the brother. What exactly does this serve to the story line?
Problem is moving from one sister to other, especially after how strongly the 2ML pursues the FL.

wonder how they will pull off the 2ML moving from one sister to another.
2ML is absolutely horrible,
FL who is shown to be very smart is now enabling 2ML toxicity knowing fully well the only he is around her is to shag her.
Stupid ML sister - check
insufferable 2ML - check
This Love pentagon which involves sisters, brothers and teachers is a prime Jerry Springer candidate.
Only normal ones seem to be ML and FL for a change.

And because they come across as awful, it makes it look like FL is stupid to stick around them.
