The love by Hypnotic - can/will include SPOILERs

So far I am on episode 10. ML (Li Qian ) childhood friend is delusional.  Like sis..the man does not want you romantically. like he clearly stated he sees you as a sister. What's up with his psycho brother?!! I legit hate the guy. Is the emperor dumb?!! Do you guys think he knows the brother is trying to kill Ming Yue ?  

I am now on episode 11 and umm I just want to punch Li Qian in the throat. I mean I know MY was wrong to use hypnosis without his permission but dang...arghh..so when does it get better..i.e. when will i no longer want to punch LQ in the throat?

The infuriating eps are from 12-17, but it peaked at probably ep 14-15 and that's where I really wanted to drop so brace yourself! But that newest ep or two (17-18) is where it takes a turn for the better and has several steamy kisses though so stay tuned!!

But I agree! I love dramas where there's a supportive sibling in arranged marriages, it's just so adorable~~ So far, this drama is giving me hardcore Princess Silver vibes, except it's just a more lighthearted and cute version.

I watched it raw on maplestage but if you need subs I'm not sure if they're out yet

Yeah, I'm at the point of thinking of dropping as well! I'm not sure why - I love how this started as fluffy and adorable, and how it did a lot of really interesting things that I feel were very fresh in romcoms (i.e. like FL being friends with the ML's sister, FL helping ML to shoot the arrows when the ML was drugged, FL and ML agreeing to work together to figure out his memory, etc. ) but then there are these moments where you have ML's brother endlessly scheming and the second FL not understanding what "no" means which kind of ruins the atmosphere. I feel like it would have been so much better if we had the ML brother and second FL just be another couple instead instead of trying to use them to make the plot more "serious" and "intense." Another thing is that I'm really not feeling the second male lead (maybe it's because it took so long to introduce him?) On the other hand however, the music and ost for this drama is AMAZING and I love the title track. 

I totally understand how you feel but don't drop it. Let's hang in there. Second female lead has to be the most delusional female lead that I have seen. I mean it's not like he gave her missed signals. How many I am not interested signals does he have to give for her to get it?!! Yeah his brother is annoying as hell. I legit want to kick him in his throat and balls. Lol

This exactly! I can deal with the second FL because it's just so typical that they'd have some pestering character like that, but the second ML... just no. I honestly think even if they made the second ML less hostile and aggressive, those episodes would've been so much more bearable. I thought this drama was going to be another one of my top faves because the beginning of the story was so fresh and cute/fun but once the brother showed up I was so disappointed...

I agree though, the OSTs are so good! I'm looping the ending theme right now haha

So I managed to watch 13 raw and some of 14. Lol at Google translate. I could tell that MY lost her memory of umm cant remember his name. But why was she hypnotized to forget him? Thoughts? Stopped after 14 because I want real english translations!

I totally understand... I think also I just don't really get the Second ML. If you really liked her and were all "aggressive" and "intense," why didn't you just talk to FL before she had to leave? Also my issue is that his complete disrespect for the ML and the FL's relationship is a little irritating - after all, she is already married, and her marriage has social and political implications. 

I really, really hope they keep the fresh and cute tone throughout. But I'm really thinking this isn't going to happen, which makes me a little nervous. The official OST clips were released on the Tencent Youtube channel today, and I saw a bunch of clips where it looks like the Second ML and the FL may? get together? for a short time (or at least he kisses her on the forehead, and there are shots of them holding hands together). Not sure what that means, but it really doesn't give me any good feelings.
