Nikhil

Ah, so she intends to seduce him just to break up with him, so he can feel the same pain his best friend or crush went through.

I can more or less predict the narrative arc: she seduces him, he resists for a while but eventually falls for her. They start dating, and somewhere along the way, she genuinely falls in love with him too. Then comes the inner turmoil—guilt begins to weigh on her as her original intentions haunt her. She plans to confess the truth, but before she can, he finds out on his own. They break up.

After a short timeskip, much like in Filipino dramas, they cross paths again. Old feelings resurface, the unresolved tension leads to a wave of angst, and eventually, they confront their emotions. Amid heartfelt confessions and forgiveness, they reconcile, get married, and finally share a genuinely happy life together.

Despite everything, I’m waiting for it to air. Haha.

The airing schedule is both frustrating and tantalising.

Its synopsis reminds me of ‘My Bias Gets On The Last Train’ manhwa. Nevertheless, I’m excited about it.

You have my respect, senior.

The tag suggests it is, so either they’re taking a lot of creative liberty with the adaptation, or the tag is inaccurate. Thanks anyway.

It’s reverse-harem?

I could see it coming from his gaze, haha.

It serves two purposes, I suppose—it pushes the plot forward, and it also acts as a vindication of the female lead’s beauty, emphasising how sought-after she is within the story. It’s a common narrative device used by many writers to reinforce the traits a character was introduced with.

One is his given name and the other is his courtesy name. In ancient China, it was common—mainly for men—to get a courtesy name (called zì) when they officially became adults, usually around 20. It was part of a coming-of-age thing, and the name was usually given by parents, teachers, or elders. People used this name in formal settings or when addressing someone respectfully.

The given name (or míng) was the one given at birth by the parents and was mostly used by close family and friends. Once someone came of age, it was actually considered too casual or even rude for people outside that circle to use their given name.

It’s not really done anymore, but it shows up a lot in historical dramas.

Aren’t 60 episodes not allowed anymore?

At first, I assumed it was a subtitle issue, but did he truly say that?

The photos from the set also hint that we’ll get to see their children.

Yes, it’s premiering on the 7th of June!

Tomorrow.

I expected this drama to be like New Life Begins—with the lead couple’s relationship as the main focus, accompanied by some light political intrigue, occasional misunderstandings, and a touch of angst. But it turned out to be the opposite, especially after the marriage, with the romance taking a backseat and the political scheming and heavy misunderstandings becoming the primary focus.

No, she doesn’t have much screen time. She leaves the screen for good in episode 6th or 7th, I guess, and she returns in the latest episode.

Why can’t they just give us long-awaited fluffy and wholesome moments, haha? Like, we are moving towards the finale and there is still much to resolve.

Don’t worry! Just wait for two days and we’ll have Express Package. :)

His reputation’s already hit rock bottom—this won’t exactly cause a stir, haha.

They didn’t do it in the drama, but since it happened in the novel, the drama just sort of absorbed the energy. Haha.
