OsmanthusTea Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 @Tofu I'm very excited for this drama too. LYN is so lethal while SZE is devastatingly beautiful in the trailers. I always love both LYN and SZE so this pairing is like a dream comes true for me. Melon said most likely will airs first quarter of next year.... I read the novel but I dropped it half way because I prefer to wait for the drama. This is another walking 🚩kind of ML but knowing C-Ent I'm sure they'll clean him up nicely. Btw, it's an 18+++ novel though Another clean up for the writer/s 1 1 Link to comment

OsmanthusTea Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) 13 hours ago, Tofu said: WAHHHHHHHH?! How is he like in the novel?! He is a warlord. Strong smart powerful and of course smoking sizzling hot 😎 FL’s grandad was in alliance with ML’s dad but in a way “ betrayed” them and caused the death of his dad and gege. He took over his dad’s position becomes more powerful and after 14 years his grandma betrothed the enemy’s granddaughter to him. I think grandma wanna end the blood feud, I didn’t finish the novel so not sure. At first he came to her for sex only but he fell for her. He is torn between love and hate hence he is abusive. So many hearts fluttering moments but many occasions where he forces himself on her too especially when jealousy overwhelms him since FL is a great beauty. She’s A Helen of Troy of some sort. Add. Forgot to say that the novel is a great reading. Very tight writing and never a dull moment. Characters were written in details. I hope the drama can do the novel justice. Aside from not wanting a spoiler, I dropped the novel because I don't want to compare and gets disappointed if the adaptation is missing something I hold dear.

Tofu Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 @OsmanthusTea Wait...wah?! He's going to be a red flag male lead. Does the novel have an English translation version out? It sounds interesting, but also problematic at the same time. I think Liu Yuning can do a good job at bringing that character to life. 1 Link to comment
