The Flower Dances and Wind Sings Chapter 26 Discussion

I really like this novel- most such romance novels focus on FLs being reborn/transmigrated into shitty families (theirs and/or their in-laws) and after being naive and silly in the first life they suddenly turn into talented strategists along with face slapping all those who did her wrong in the first life and win the ML in a HEA ending. So the premise of rebirth in this story is unique- she regains her past memories AFTER she has married and had a son.

1. Loved the way the both leads are portrayed. If you want reborn FLs who suddenly become world-class strategists/business women/ femme-fatals- then this is not a story for you. The ML here is powerful but not OP.
2. And yes, it is agonizing to watch them dance around each other while you rip your hair out screaming "TALK TO EACH OTHER DAMMIT!!" But it does feel a little more realistic. The post-partum depression, lack of communication, crossed-wires and the fact that its easy to scream at 2D characters and say "they should have know" or "how s*upid can she/he be" might make readers shy away since it is not a light-hearted romance but honestly this story is a palate cleanser! And all the above are things that real-life couples do undergo.
3. Translation. Really good translation. FYI the manhwa has proceeded beyond the novel (no pressure to the translators... really no pressure! I would always prefer quality translations over MTL)

Many might be annoyed at either leads (FL for being a less-than-stellar mother and ML for being an overall lousy husband and father) but in my opinion unlike today; post-partum depression, how isolation messes with a person's emotional and mental state and the fact that you might give birth to a child at the age of 22 but that does not mean that you are mentally mature and motherhood just "naturally" comes to you- these issues have only begun to be addressed recently. This is a novel with a european ambience - I am assuming they are styling the era similar to victorian or regency England. In that time, such issues were unheard of.

So in case you are wondering if you should try it out- I would say YES! Despite what is shown in the early chapters- both leads are good if flawed people. The problems and misunderstandings don't miraculously go away- just like in real life empathy, patience and good ol' luck also play a big role in mending broken relationships. So truly a treat to read!!!
