horrific writing and no understanding of characters
beyond the extremely bad writing,
i hope no one leaves this series thinking this is love, even calling it toxic love is too generous. i see people saying things like “you cant be that in love youd do all this”… this is depicting mostly obsession not love.
love is best defined by acting in another’s best interest, that is love at its core, famillial, romantic, platonic it doesnt matter if its not functional under that core idea its not love.
people can feel love and it can become something ugly… but id say that was a weak love that lacked integrity to begin with.
if this show convinced us from lu feng’s pov yichen royally fucked him over utterly, then maybe. but even through lu feng’s pov the issue is sinply that he never tried to understand why yi chen would make the choices he did in the fallout of everything, all he could think of was his own suffering.
that said all characters behave like morons in this so im not at all defending yi chen here.
