Miao Jing said Being here I am causing you more pain. Girl you are just hanging around you ex knowing fully well that pains Chen yi. Going to live with ex will definitely make Chen yi happy. This girl wants Chen yi to do everything for their relationship. Did she ask herself what has she done herself? Rather than blaming him. Did she do anything to gain his confidence? For starters You can't even keep distance from your ex.
The drama has completely gone off track since the time leap. It no longer makes much sense because viewers were never shown what exactly happened before the jump, making the current situation difficult to understand or relate to.
They also made a major mistake with the romance between the lead couple. By cutting, altering, and changing so many key elements from the novel, they left themselves with very little room to properly develop the relationship. Those changes have completely altered the dynamics between the leads, and the emotional impact just isn't the same anymore.
They toned down both characters compared to the novel. In the novel, Chen Yi and Tu Li were actually a couple, and Miao Jing even had a boyfriend, Zhengsi, whom she dated partly to get back at Chen Yi. The drama removed or softened these details, making the characters appear much more polished and less flawed than their original versions.
the novel Chen Yi was not like this although i somewhat agree with your commenti honestly i love the drama version…
I honestly don't mind flawed characters, whether they're male or female leads. Considering everything they've been through in their lives, they don't need to be perfect to be compelling. That's why I find the novel version more relatable and realistic. However, drama audiences often have different expectations, so adaptations tend to portray the main leads, especially the male lead, as more idealized and perfect.
The issue is not that Miao Jing had ex-boyfriends. The issue is the double standard. I have noticed this pattern in many C-dramas and K-dramas. The male lead is often portrayed as a loyal, one-woman man who has never truly loved anyone else, while the female lead is frequently written with multiple past relationships. This creates an imbalance in how the two characters are presented and judged. If loyalty and romantic history matter in the story, the same standards should apply to both leads.
I think Ji hyun is still stuck in her past relationship. Until she realises Si U is different from Ga eul. She will keep feeling insecure and Si U can't do anything about it.
It doesn't make any sense. He was just 100 meter away from her still lost her. I bet he will meet his daughter in last episode. They'll just keep pushing that till last episode.
Till now it's been great drama. I bet he will meet his daughter in last episode. That's how kdrama writers drag storyline. I hope this one is different because it has all elements to evolve story.
He is behaving like they never broke up. She has no problem going back her ex house and sleeping in the same room. At one moment he is behaving like lover boy , next moment he is acting pervert. She is tone deaf no emotion. No idea what exactly she wants. Revenge. It's just bullshit at the moment.
she is literally keeping her distance from him so that he won't be involved in the process of her "revenge"…
Where did I say she is using him now. I just hoped she doesn't keep him in dark this time, that won't do any good to both of them. Anyways he is always ready to support her, she can be rest asured. No need to hide a thing from him.
10 years down the line, both lead characters are the same. He still loves her like crazy and willing to forgive her for anything. She loves him too but doesn't mind using his feelings to for her motive. Hope this time she doesn't keep him in dark if she truly loves him. That would too devastating for him.
