it depends totally on place and culture of the region . in japan, its so common , and these men don't fall out…
grooming depends on situation. law in japan is different. an 18-19 year old dating a 50 year old should be cool right? because the younger one is adult? right? but its not. no miracle happens at age "18" some 18 are physically and mentally more immature than some 16-17 year olds. japan is not abiding by european or american law. it is legal in japan to marry someone even when they are 16-18. in my country you can't marry until 21-22 legally. japans age of consent starts from 13. plus understand the meaning of the term grooming. fl approached the ml here. she lied about her age, she pursued him. not the other way round. in case you don't know what grooming is , ill tell you, since i have suffered one myself. it is when a grown fucking man like 20-21 approaches a 12-13 y/o on his own and emotionally manipulates the child to believing that the toxic dependency that theyre growing onto them is true love.it can be 20-13, 50-19, 25-18. yes even when one is 20 other is 25, the younger one can be groomed. it takes someone who has a lack of emotional experience and someone who greatly does into exploiting them. but thats not at all the case here. this movie just represented a traditional trope in modern times. in japan 16-18 olds arent seen as kids. neither in my country (we have population problem so high age of marriage), to justify, 16 year old in my country will get adult jail time. 16-18 is a growing age. one can grasp mental maturity at 16 and some at 18. white romeo juliet law dont work with asian one. yeah a creepy 50 year old going for a 14 year old will be plowed down dont worry about that
is he really a eunuch ? like by exact terms castrated male servant for queens and princesses and noble ladies.…
i really like the representation then. most stories that include an eunuch/intersex in historical or even in modern times have the lover of the eunuch to be a male character. it irks me. like why do they always have to be "feminized" in a heterosexual way and end them up with a "oh male savior" even in fictional stories . yes there were, even historically, make grand eunuchs who were in love with their emperors and their story was majestic, take malik kafur as an example. but this time the eunuch's love interest is a woman. that is so totally a new perspective. eunuchs usually even took a feminine appearance , which also makes us wonder about the princesses sexuality. my question is did this really happen ? like for the real life princess
one thing i hate here is that they are step siblings . unlike the original korean one. this is like the only flaw. In og the parents, sister, brother, everyone around them were just entitled and wanted to rule over fl and ml's choice. but here there is actually a valid reason for everyone to be against their relationship. even i, am against step kids falling for each other. but yeah situation was different here .they did not grow up together. yet. here "couldnt you have found any other guy/girl" is a suitable/agreeable claim from ppl around them
if ML is actually a eunuch and not pretending to be one !!!
if ML is actually a eunuch and not pretending to be one !!!
good lord this needs an lgbtq tag. eunuchs of that time were of two types. one that were born intersex with a masculine body structure and other were male born but had their testicles chopped off. if the ml here is not a man pretending to be eunuch , then this can be a huge and dramatic change to chinese cinema. Royal princess falling for a eunuch. :') that so sweet and queer and romantic. also whenever there is a trans/intersexromance involved, the partner is always a cis guy. you will never find translesbian romance drama. this is probably the second one im finding ( if it really turns out that the eunuch is eunuch only and not pretending to be one in the story) , first being Joshi-teki Seikatsu . beautiful !! sorry for the rant
this is one of those dramas where the love interest of fl/ml is not the ml/fl. the fl here is teng xiao xiao and ml is lu mang. duan chong is the love interest of xiao not the ml lmao
