I wish they explained better what the scent thing is. Does it do anything besides make you smell like flowers? Do other people know about it? If they do, why is the ML so surprised she smells nice when she told him she was from the Fleur family? (since it was apparently a family secret that she doesn't have a scent)
Is the black-haired kid really quitting acting forever because of that? I mean, I do think he misinterpreted Peter Pan's character, since Peter Pan is supposed to be a childlish, selfish character that doesn't really understand consequences or guilt, but seems a bit strange that he quits over one incident like that.
Doesn't really make sense to me, since you need to stand out from the others if you want make it as a famous actor. There are times when you need to match the scene and not steal the spotlight from other actors, but in the example shown, they were literally all just reading the same line, not acting out a scene. Just seems weird to me. If they wanted to get that issue across better, they should have been doing a scene where he's a minor character trying stealing attention from the lead.
No that's not the issue. The issue is he doesn't want to hide who he is to fit in. Him standing out is a natural consequence because he's perceived as "odd." Like he said, he was serious about work but he was scolded because he was seen as attention-seeking when he was just being himself. Although he didn't like not fitting in, he also didn't want to suppress his true self so left with no choice, he quit acting. That's why he's trying to walk on a new path.
How is just interpreting the character wrong "being who he is"? The acting teacher was literally like "stop trying to stand out so much" even though he sincerely seemed to be putting a lot of thought and effort into interpreting the character. A good teacher would have just gently corrected him that his interpretation was wrong, instead of accusing him of being attention seeking. It's just disappointing to me that he's giving up something he's passionate about because of this.
It's who he is because he was NOT trying to stand out. He interpreted the character that way with no hidden intention. He didn't go for the "odd" angle because he thought, "oh if I do it like this I'll stand out more." No. He was 100% serious and thought he was right and that's how the character could be. But because it's "odd" people think he did it on purpose to seek attention. Even though he did nothing unusual from himself, but because he's odd, he got criticised. That was the issue. He didn't want to be scolded for being himself (like thinking in a weird way).
He literally says, "I don't want to hide who I am to fit it."
That's why he tried going the idol path, where being "odd" doesn't bring criticism (as much). There's more freedom of creative expression in that area.
I said he was sincerely interpreting the character, but he was doing it incorrectly. I never said he had some hidden intention or that he wasn't giving it his all. But he's in an acting class to learn how to act, so obviously he is going to get feedback from his teacher if he's doing it wrong. If he's so thin-skinned that he can't accept getting some advice from his acting teacher, I'm surprised he makes it as an idol.
Fair enough I guess, if he decided he doesn't want to learn how to act anymore because he would rather be just himself rather than act out a character the way it's written. Certainly not suited to acting, in that case. But I still don't think the scene portrayed that at all.
Oh I think there's a misunderstanding. What I meant is that his acting class/teachers thought he had a hidden intention (to stand out) not that you said it. Even if they did not think so, that was how it felt to him. Incorrect is incorrect but it's being "odd" and pressured to change that got to him. We can also see that when he talked to his mom and she said something about how this is society is.
Also, I don't think there's a right or wrong in acting since it's such a subjective art form. One right interpretation could be wrong the next. For example, having different actresses play the same character or having different directors film the same story would lead to different results. This is also why there are conflicts between actors, writers, and/or directors sometimes. Not everyone's visions align all the time. So yeah I understand why he'd quit and be an idol instead.
(Although being an idol doesn't guarantee total creative freedom, who can still force him how to sing and dance when he's already on stage? Lol)
I don't get why she cares enough to fix up that mercenary guild, it's got red flags all over it (bad coworkers, bad workplace environment, no money, etc). It's not like she became friends with someone who works there and wanted to help them. She literally just met them... She can just get a job literally anywhere else.
Also don't understand her plan to live as a commoner. Why does she want to work for living? I thought she just wanted to go on vacation and chill at the hotsprings... But even if she wants to stay occupied with a job, being a clerk seems a bit menial for someone with her level of education. It seems like a very customer service oriented job, which doesn't seem like her expertise. Plus wouldn't it be more challenging/exciting to start her own business or manage her estate? She spent all that time studying law to break her engagement but didn't think about trying to use it to get inheritance rights for women or something?
Also does she expect her parents to never try to contact her or look for her? Her parents didn't seem like bad people, so I don't understand why she's completely cutting ties with them. Also are they just gonna live in the country villa forever and never leave? Who is managing their estate/money while her parents are also gone on vacation?
Glad to know im not the only one thinking about this. Im stretching my suspension of disbelief enough as it is lol it doesn't seem like she had a good plan from someone who supposedly "thought it all". Is not just a motives from FL that seems lacking even the villainess reasoning to see FLs "temper" doesnt make sense...FL getting angry to find out her fiance was cheating on her will make other people sympathise with you? The Homewreker? Causing a scene in public after finding out your fiance found his "true love" is the bare minimum of all reactions lol i would've get it if the Villain just wanted ti see her humiliated
Yk what now that I think about it, for someone who was introduced as a smart, girlboss, go getter person in first chapter, she kinda became naive and dumb in the next chapters. She literally studied law as she said but didn't even research about the place she wanted to settle down with? Kinda stupid if you asked me.
Also looks like she's already old in her first life and brags about her skills, so I totally assumed that she would start her own business lol I don't understand why she was so desperate to be a commoner, she's already a noble why is she downgrading
Is she stupid? She knew she was going to confront him and tell him to stop meeting her friend, so she should've just recorded it to show her friend what an asshole he is. By recording it, she can also show her friend she was only meeting him for that reason and not because she's interested in him.
