the story is cute, but like it's really a case of "mmmh how can i make this huge age feel okay? past life romance? check. what else can i add? hoe and what if i made the older woman act like a child and the younger guy act more mature so mentally they seem like they'd fit together" bc she sure as hell doesn't act like a 40yo
A CROSSDRESSING COMING OF AGE PERFORMANCE?! OMG we could never see that in the current korean entertainment industry anymore
"i want the story to unflpd just like the original and for every character to meet their destined person, so to do that, I'm gonna fuck with the plot and change the events that will happen" make it make sense
I must say, i really dislike when some select ppl notice the value and power of another erson that is known for being weak amd powerless and despised for it and hate themselves bc of it, and they will internally praise them elevate their status and responsibility matching their real abilities and not their perceived inadequacy, but they won't ever tell the despised person about their value.
just throwing them to the wolves without a shred of direction.
and yes, I'm talking about the old guy who gave her books and made her meet the guardian beast and made her the 1st consort.
he cpuld ask his ex-ganster ceo bestie for help lol
nonchalant x overly expressive
I'm not reading it bc I'm sick of overly expressive characters to the point that it feels like I'm a toddler who can't yet recognize emotions and expressions unless its over exaggerated. to me, it diminishes the story and makes it unbearable to actually enjoy as anything other than a fool being ridiculous to entertain the court
Switzerland mentioned, but at what cost... the unofficial symbol that nobody uses in Switzerland made me laugh at least
yet another "i challenge you to a duel, if i win you will never talk to fl ever again, if you win you will marry fl" without ever asking what fl wants to do. it's just shallow peacocking and fl is still clueless about the other's feelings for her.
I'm dropping that shit, that kind of plotline infuriates me. it dismisses the fl's agency over herself.
honestly, oto is utterly stupid. "i don't wanna inconvenience the actual father of my child that obviously loves and treasures him, so I'm gonna prevent him from exercising his parental rights and the opportunity to be a father, steal his child from him, and marry someone who doesn't even love me or the child"
other kpop groups lose members over the years, climax gets new member lol
fl is the type of person/character i hate the most, taking decisions for someone thinking they know better all qhile keeping that person in the dark AND hurting them in the process
honestly, I'll never understand the ppl who walk out without hearing out the other. like even if I'm fully confident in my choice, i still wanna know the full picture as much as possible.
knew from the start she'd get pregnant in the end. it's just so predictable, a disabled person can never stay disabled in fiction, no thex have to be healed with the power of love
AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION? TIME TO REREAD IT FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME
the mc is so dumb it's incredible. he hears about ml smiling at his phone and ppl speculating he's in a relationship and he doesn't even think that he could be smiling at his text that he sent around the same time. he hears about how giddy the ml has been since morning and doesn't even consider the fact that he could be giddy about going to work together and furthering their relationship.
he's so insecure and scared of being abandoned that he thinks the ml to be a cheating two timing bastard and never dares ask him about it.
also taking rumors as the truth bc of his insecurity is top tier dumbassery.
the to is so dumb it's so funyy, each time he uses the "for the baby excuse" he kills all the progress they've fone towaards a relationship
it irks me how the ml always gets jealous of every little innocent interaction the fl has with other men, but he never looks at his surroundings to see the women with obvious romantic feelings for him that is driving him and the fl away. open your eyes and look around and most of all listen to how this bitch talks to your precious crush
Lutida is such a flat character. she had her life basically ruined by her sister, just bc she was jealous, and yet still think "so we can't make up" and "I'm glad she's happy". it's honestly pathetic. it doesn't make her a kind person, but a doormat and an idiot
