I think they did a great job with the leads, honestly. But unfortunately… it did came at the expense of somebody else 😅 This happens way too often, mostly they do it to the leads. Like suddenly making the FL act absurdly clueless just so the ML can swoop in and be the hero, or turning her into a perfect, all knowing Mary Sue while the ML becomes a lovesick golden retriever with no personality beyond “I love her, I'm obsessed". I think we can't have it all 😅

It felt so unnecessary and completely disconnected from the rest of the drama. Like… did they film those scenes, toss them in a folder called “Maybe Later,” and then go, “Hey wait, that one image of XH with the necklace in his mouth is going viral quick, slap a tragic montage and glue it to the finale!” It genuinely gave off deleted scene resurrected by popular aesthetics energy 🥲

😭😭😭😭😭 Please don't ever remind me of those completely pointless parts of that drama that exist for one reason only: to give them a "beautiful death." Like wow, congrats, they died aesthetically. They literally added those scenes for ✨vibes✨. I'm still grieving, emotionally and narratively 🤧 I want just to erase from my mind that last part of The Double 🥲

It’s always the same in dramas, the side characters are sacrificed just to make the leads shine brighter. As if the only way to highlight the main character’s strength or virtue is by dimming everyone else around them. But good writing doesn’t need to do that. The leads can stand out without undermining or throwing other characters under the bus.It’s frustrating, especially when secondary characters are used as emotional collateral or plot obstacles. They deserve better #FromLegendToPlotDecoration #JusticeForTheDowngraded 🤣😅

They are all around the comments; I was reading everywhere 🤣

I'm at work, but I can quickly have it AI-transcribed and translated when I finish later. I don't know how accurate it will be 🤣

Yes, same here! I literally renewed my WeTV subscription this month just for this drama I don’t have the strength to wait for the Viki lag. And honestly, who knows… when the final episodes drop on the 29th, I’ll probably be too weak to resist and just pay for express access like a fool with no self-control 🥲I just really hope they don’t do her poor husband dirty. He doesn’t deserve any bad karma from her choices he’s been through enough just loving her 😅

This is one of those rare instances where I can't pick the side. I think his anger mostly comes from the fact that she probably wouldn't have told him ( at least not yet) if this situation hadn’t forced her hand. And to be fair, she wasn't completely sure if he had truly let go of his vengeance plans… and honestly, neither was he until it came down to this moment. So yeah, I totally get why he’s mad, i’d be even more angry if i were in his shoes. But at the same time… I also understand her. I probably would’ve done the same thing withheld the info just in case. So honestly, it all depends on whose perspective I’m looking from and when I switch, my sympathy flips with it too 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I haven’t watched the episode yet because I refuse to pay for express and I’m trying so hard not to cave and watch it elsewhere 😅 But I am happily spoiling myself with all the comments! What really frustrates me about the cousin is how she constantly uses that poor man like he’s some brainless toyboy. Okay, maybe he’s not the sharpest sword in the armory,but he’s loyal and kind and she knows it. Instead of appreciating him, she manipulates him (like she has before) just because she can. And after everything the FL did for her and their family? She owes her morally. The least she could do was talk to her husband and make a joint decision. But from what I'm seeing in comments… apparently not. I get that she wants a peaceful life, who doesn’t? But this isn’t the kind of story where you get to opt out. If you want peace, you have to fight for it. Hiding behind excuses while others bleed for your safety isn’t peace. It’s cowardice 😡

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!! If I ever start writing, it's not for fame, it's not for art, it's for vengeance. I will avenge every side character who died nameless so the main couple could grow emotionally, no more unpaid deaths! Power to the plotless!!! #UnderpaidButOverkilled #BlinkAndImGone #ILitTheTorchSheUsedInChapter5

my bestie! let’s hold hands and share some stale bread in the background while the FL and ML ride past our village in slow motion, their silk robes fluttering like destiny itself. We’ll blink once, maybe cough dramatically, and that’s it our entire existence reduced to two lines of scenery description while they pass us by under a filter of golden light. No name, no dialogue, just ‘villager a’ and ‘mud stained companion’ living our best irrelevant lives 😅🤣😂

Oh wow, meat and/or a roof? you are aimjng so high. I was mentally prepared to live in a mud hut, bathe once per solstice, and catch the plague from a mildly suspicious rat. Honestly, your optimism is offensive how dare you believe we’ll survive long enough to marry anyone? 🤣🤣

In every novel scenario i can only imagine myself as a Patient Zero in a zombie apocalypse. I’m the person who sneezes once in a supermarket and dooms humanity. Or the poor soul living exactly three metres from ground zero when the alien mothership decides to redecorate Earth with lasers. If it’s a historical drama, I’m not a duchess or even the noblewoman maid, i’m some dirt-covered villager in the background, just trying to survive the 67th famine of the decade while wondering what soap is 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel your disappointment

🤣🤣

the first scene I saw her in, and it immediately put me off. The fact that she carelessly pushed a pregnant woman and showed no real concern , except for being flustered because she found the male lead attractive, really set the tone for me. It’s hard to get behind a character after that kind of introduction, no matter what growth might come later

Yeah, she's totally giving me Emma vibes, but I think Emma was even more out of touch (from how things are in the real world) than Ming Tan, at least from what I've seen so far 😅 but yes definitely Emma kind od character

It took me three tries to finish the first episode, not because of the actors, but simply because it's hard to get into something new while following other dramas at the same time. That said, this one is light and easy to watch; it doesn't require much thought, which makes it a nice filler while waiting for other shows to update. I'm only on episode 2 (or 3 😅), so I have no idea what the FL does later on that some people find annoying, but so far I haven't found her irritating. She comes across as a typical privileged noblewoman, much like many others in historical C-dramas. She doesn't seem foolish and has her own desires and thoughts. If she stays as she is in the first couple of episodes (and isn't dumbed down just to make the ML shine), I have no issue with her. Honestly, there are plenty of other things one could pick apart in this drama, but her character (at least so far) doesn't seem to be one of them. She is a rich girl who wants to continue having a good and privileged life, and to do so, she needs a husband she can tolerate and who can give her this privilege and stability 🤷🏼‍♀️

🤣🤣🤣
