História de Amor dos Estudiosos das Flores (2023)

A very familiar plot but FL is severely lacking charisma and moral fortitude.

I mostly watch historical these days, usually Chinese. There are a lot of them so I feel like I'm spoiled of choices. In comparison sageuks are hard to come by so I try to watch the first few episodes of majority of them and find a gem that's worth watching through the end. Let's just say that in terms of passing my standard, I only end up watching completely at most two or rarely three in a year.

I really thought this was worth my time and fill my sageuk quota until I saw the FL's action in the second episode. I like ambiguous leads but I expect them to have at least have a proper reasoning for their actions. I though it was not enough for me to see FL suddenly taking the decision to join with the antagonists just so she saves her inheritance from debt. I know she look like she is not fully aware of the magnitude and criticality of the situation but she should at least have an inkling of the behind the scenes conspiracy of the royal court. Watching herself sell her services out to help the bad actors search the prince left a bad taste in my mouth and her flimsy excuse and reason for doing this isn't good enough for me. Drop at episode 2, I may pick up this later depending on my mood and how the story goes.
