That's how soap operas are formed to keep bread crumbing you along. After a while you feel a bit guilty for hanging…
LOL I like the way you put it....Letās say this drama is basically a toxic relationship between the writers and us. They hurt us, we complain, and then we come back tomorrow anyway...lol
this is not the first time unfortunately and it wouldn't be the last time, this is an era where FMLs have ambition…
I understand you, bro.... Maybe another type of drama would suit you better. Some stories focus more on balanced relationships where both leads have their own lives and grow together. Hopefully weāll get some of that here eventually...lol
this is not the first time unfortunately and it wouldn't be the last time, this is an era where FMLs have ambition…
Agree... I think itās the trend now: FLs get ambition and a purpose, while MLs are written mainly around loving and supporting them. And somehow, this has happened with this actor more than once....lol.. It feels like theyāre aiming for that soft, dreamy, ideal boyfriend type that younger viewers loveāthe man who only has eyes for the FL.
LOL, I agree.... He looks more like a high school kid who somehow escaped into adulthood with gray hair... They shouldāve cast someone with a more intimidating, villainous presence for the role..lol
Doesn't that sound contradictory? Saying 'the ML isnāt the problem, the writing is' doesn't really make sense.…
I think thatās mixing two different things.
Of course viewers can say āthis is a badly written character.ā Thatās normal. But when weāre talking about who is responsible, the blame goes to the creators, not the fictional person. The character didnāt choose to be underdeveloped, inconsistent, or reduced to one traitāthe writers made those choices.
Saying āthe ML is badly writtenā is a criticism of the writing. Saying āthe ML is the problemā is a different thing.
A character can have flaws, make terrible decisions, or be frustrating, and we can discuss that. But when the issue is that the writers gave him layers, trauma, dreams, and potential, then failed to develop them properly, the criticism belongs to the script.
You donāt blame a painting for having a bad compositionāyou question the artist who created it. Same idea here...
I don't think MurongQingyi doesn't have other agenda than loving Su Su and revolve around her.That man is ready…
giiirl...nothing wrong with him being deeply in love with her. Thatās not the issue. The frustrating part is the way they wrote him to look so desperate for her love...
Our man has his own storyāhis terrible childhood, his trauma, his pain, and his own battles to fight. But instead of letting him deal with those things, the writing turns him into a side character in the FLās story.
And thatās not okay. I understand theyāre trying to create this epic, unforgettable lover, but please... donāt make him look so weak and completely dependent on her.
I really hope they fix this soon because he has so much potential. He deserves a journey of his own, not just to exist as someoneās love interest..
From my understanding, he doesn't have a Purpose or life at that moment because he just got out of prison and…
Exactly. That's why I blame the writing. They gave him insane trauma, family pressure, and a brutal pastāall the ingredients for amazing character development.
Then they just kept pulling him back into the romance with her instead of letting him confront his own demons and grow. That's wasted potential.
I wanted to see him finally snap. Stand up to his mother. Call out his brother. Stop chasing her for once and choose himself. That would've been a much more satisfying ..
Maybe they'll get there laterāI honestly hope they do. But right now, it feels like they're solving each plotline separately instead of letting the characters grow naturally through the story..
Doesn't that sound contradictory? Saying 'the ML isnāt the problem, the writing is' doesn't really make sense.…
You don't blame the characterāhe's an imaginary figure. You blame the people writing him.
In this case, they created a ML with so many layers: pain, trauma, dreams, loyalty, and emotional depth. They built a character with so much potential.
But then the writers kept stripping those layers away by making almost everything revolve around the FL instead of letting him grow through his own journey and confront his own demons... That's my point. The character had all the ingredients to be greatāthe writing just didn't let him become everything he could have been....And everyone has the right to criticize. But if you're going to criticize, the criticism should be aimed at the creators, not the fictional character..lol

Then the blame is on the adaptation for not showing the full ML. .... I havenāt read the novel, so I can only judge what the drama gives us.
And what the drama gives us is a man with pain, trauma, and his own story... but somehow every road leads back to the FL. If his other layers, goals, and personality arenāt being shown, thatās a writing/adaptation issue.
What Iām saying here is: donāt blame the character for what the script failed to show.
So basically... NOW all the female characters are pushing away their love interests... and for WHAT?!
Itās always some hidden mission, social status issue, future disaster, or secret nobody bothered to explain....
Like GIRLS... can we please try communication before destroying everyoneās hearts?!!!! LOL.. The men are out here bleeding for love while the women are living in a completely different world with a totally different agenda....
The ML isnāt the problemāthe writing is. He feels real, loyal, and emotionally invested. The problem is that the writers reduced him to revolving around the FL 24/7.
She has a mission. She has goals. She has a life outside the romance. Meanwhile, his entire storyline is basically: find her, save her, sacrifice for her, suffer for her... repeat. š
The crazy part?!! The drama clearly shows she loves him too. But she still gets to be her own person, while his entire identity gets swallowed by loving her...
A great love story gives both leads their own journey. Here, one gets a full storyline while the other spends most of his screen time orbiting around her. Thatās not an epic romanceāthatās wasting a great male lead....
I honestly feel like the writers are treating the plot like a checklist instead of telling one connected story. Finish one problem? Done. Close the file. Open the next one. Move on. Emotional consequences? Character development? Who cares??!!!!
The characters arenāt driving the story anymoreāthe plot is dragging them around wherever the next twist needs them to go.
And now weāre adding another mysterious man from the shadows?! BRO... can these people get ONE peaceful episode before another disaster falls from the sky?!
The relationships donāt grow naturally; they just get rearranged whenever the plot needs a new shock. One episode theyāre healing from trauma, the next episode everyone has a new mission, and all that emotional progress gets thrown out the window.
This drama is driving me INSANE... and the funniest part? Iām still here every episode like a clownš Iām mad because the ML is actually THAT good, and watching the writers fumble his potential is painful..... Bro deserved better....yeah
My brain is buried in classes and reading the comments... Iām already 3 episodes behind. š„²
RUNNNN, BRO, RUN!!! ..lol.... Iāll keep my mouth shut and try not to spoil it... but just know Iām currently fighting for my life trying not to rant..... Iām MAD. LOL.
