Men simping for an emotional abusive woman! This wasn't what i signed up for.
Who doesn't love a strong female lead? But when it borders on domineering with no respect for her husband Pei, it upsets me.
The synopsis of this drama makes you think they will try to love each other again with their second chance at life. I am 20+ episodes into this and exhausted. I had SML syndrome at first, but i feel like that plot line is going nowhere because she's already married in this second life again.
There was a scene in the carriage where Pei blew up at her because she couldn't see that he loved her from the beginning. They made up, and then the next episodes they bicker at each other again. Another episode Princess thinks he knows her plan in the butterfly gorge, but he was just planning a date with flowers everywhere. Meanwhile she planned a trap and a scuffle with some enemies. His instrument gets destroyed, he gets stabbed and is heartbroken, and she's just standing there like ":O".
Most of the plot has been political plotting & there isn't enough romance to balance it out. Crown prince's woman left him for the border, and Shangguang gambling with su's brother is the only relationship worth the show.
There is just so much ANGST.
Sometimes.. reading a trash book or fanfiction is good. However, trying to realistically portray this relationship on screen makes no sense.
Maybe the book is meant to convey ML differently?. In the drama, ML says he likes a woman who bullies him. So maybe he has some kinda kink? IT'S SO PAINFUL TO WATCH. Princess is a complex character but has not developed any further in 25+ episodes.
