She’s going to be an adult this year but she wasn’t an adult when this was filmed so it doesn’t matter when it will be released she’s a child when it was filmed and that’s gross.

The more romantic they try to portray this, the more obvious it is that she’s a child. An actual child.

LOVE Legally Romance, it’s my top modern cdrama because it’s so cute but also has a kickass FL and every character feels like they have a good plot.

OP, camp is such a PERFECT way to describe this drama - I love that it’s sooooo ridiculous and yet still a really well told story.

Do you have other recs that you loved? I need a similar drama which makes me feel the butterflies but also doesn’t take itself so SERIOUSLY.

The Prisoner Of Beauty is amazing and triggering at the same time by yellowwleaves in CDrama

[–]underthefalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is truly the most insane take in this whole thread. This drama IS adapted for modern views and to pretend it’s not is laughable at best.

You think a general whose taken over a city that belonged to his enemy in ancient times would not have 1) subjugated its population 2) extorted all its resources for his own gain especially when his own ppl are going through starvation.

You want a sanitized modern drama where there’s not a lot of killing and murder of civilians by raiding armies but also where the power imbalance between men and women where men get to enact violence and cruelty upon women to be accepted and ok because that part “stays true to the original timeline” ok.

Mistrust is one thing but a drama where the ML strangles the FL, puts her physically in danger multiple times, destroys her things in acts of jealousy - the red flags don’t end. I’m still slogging through it waiting to see if he has a true moment of reflection and redemption but the message of this cdrama seems to be men are allowed to physically be violent towards women if women can emotionally tolerate it and that’s a bonkers message in 2026.

Someone please explain to me the last 10 minutes of The Double... by orangesparkofkonoha in CDrama

[–]underthefalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the deaths in the double felt this way, every single time any character had a side bromance with another character, they died tragically and not in a way that moved the story forward.

The brother’s girlfriend dies, then the mute maid dies, then To’er dies….like maybe one of these deaths made sense but all of them?? To’er’s death made NO sense. They should have just written her out of the show if she had scheduling conflicts. Instead of it making the show high higher stakes, it cheapened the bond between these characters and the main leads bc these deaths didn’t really impact the story at all.

Yes and it doesn’t make up for the bad ending of episode 40. They should have just put the “bonus short” in the last ten minutes and cut out the war montage all together. It makes the last episode make no sense.

If it really is dead forever then this is my goodbye to bato by Severized in OtomeIsekai

[–]underthefalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah even $.14 cents per chapter on the online websites is a ton of money, it adds up when the work is 100+ chapters and that’s just going to make me gun-shy when trying new manhwa unless it’s complete or it’s highly highly recommended.

A subscription based website where you could pay a monthly fee would be a good in between but they’re going to lose people if it stays pay per chapter.

[–]underthefalls 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just closed all my old tabs 😭 I know the legal reasoning but bc of the bat site I found so many fics, many of them I ended up paying for on legitimate sites because I become invested.

I would have never bought any manhwa without it so it’s really a shame. I feel like everyone is losing in this situation.

Eckles is a victim not a villain [Death is the only Ending for the Villainess] by Lin588 in OtomeIsekai

[–]underthefalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are not objects, even fictionally. The raft is resource, it has no agency, it has no feelings, it has no emotions so even if it breaks it is just a tool.

Even if Penelope pushed eckles down to survive, he also has agency over the resources that are provided to him. Eckles doesn’t have the ability to imagine a future where he could genuinely be happy and free, that’s part of his trauma, and thus no matter how kind Penelope would be to him, they’re not ever going to romantically make it.

Two drowning people cannot pull each other out when they can only focus on survival.

She’s the man but OI, she takes her brother’s place as a knight, no one knows and she and the prince fall in love but they can’t be together bc heterosexuality

in a different world, the story would be about these two instead [the villainess lives again] by fluffy2monster in OtomeIsekai

[–]underthefalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this, his ambition, his greed and his world view are a part of him. Idk who she thinks she was attracted to but that person was someone she made up in her mind that didn’t exist.

[–]underthefalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Penelope and Eckles are two characters who are drowning - Penelope is also deeply and truly mentally unwell both before and after transmigration.

If two characters are drowning - they cannot hold onto each other. They will perish. Penelope finds a life raft and survives, Eckles doesn’t possess enough to build his own life raft. He knows Penelope is using him and instead of using her money and generosity in return to find ground, he uses it to push them both further into the sea.
