And I mean, there's still at least some disapproval or lack of social acceptability around PDAs, from what I can tell? (I remember reading something about Chinese couples tagging along with international tours, pretending to be foreigners so they can get away with PDAs in public.) So it might be conservative as well as old-fashioned?
Very true! Though with those assumptions ZYL's behaviour towards SW becomes even more UGH to me.
Yeah, they're all totally lacking in empathy in this scene.
Yeah, I find that so unpleasant!
*loves on the drama some more for fixing that, with Shen Wei forgiving and reconciling with Ye Zun in the afterlife* <333
YES! They made the afterlife a place of forgiveness and reconciliation instead! I hadn't looked at it from that angle before, but OMG. :D :D :D
(Which makes it all the more frustrating that that's the part that got censored the hardest when they took Guardian down in 2018. Boo!)
I'm like, "Do not out your boyfriend to strangers!!!" Not cool!! (What if one of Shen Wei's students or their family members happened to be around?)
RIGHT????? It's appalling. I mean, sure he knows that SW is the Emissary and therefore not at risk in the same way a human would be, but he does have a human identity/life that's at risk! Have some care!
(In Korean, one word for wife is literally "house person".)
Oh, that's neat, too!
Is it that she thinks he's using bad logic to justify Shen Wei's presence? Like, he's pretending to be all capable and in charge, but solely for his own (stupid, childish) ends?
Haha, if that's what she's thinking she's definitely not wrong!
Being used to draw fire? This sounds like a reference to a military strategy
facethestrange explained below that it's gaming terminology! That makes sense, glad to know that!
Maybe he doesn't realise how persistent her feelings are? After all, she propositioned him in a fairly pragmatic way. (Or maybe he's in deep denial about it, like in the drama.)
Yeah, might be he's in denial about how real her feelings are ...
