@Yanne I agree with you. People tend to look down on insecurity and jealousy as a bad thing (and it can be if it goes out of control) that they don't realize it's literally one of the six types of love: mania. It also happens to be my second-place winner in my own love profile. It's annoying and...
Gyeol just gave himself an alibi, too. Now nobody will know that he was also outside the Old Lady's home and the conspiracy is successfully hidden for the current time.
I don't think that Soo-won took the throne just to give it over to Yona. At the same time, I'm second-guessing my earlier thoughts that he tried to kill Yona, too. In the beginning chapters, it looked like he just planned just to kill Il and to leave Yona alone. Then when Yona witnessed it, he...
@simplicity I want to know about his mother. There's been zero mention of her so far.
Ha, that's true about Baek Han sacrificing himself. I guess in my mind I was thinking about a betrayal scene similar to what happened with the little brother. I'm not sure how that situation would happen...
At first I was really disappointed in Dowun for agreeing to leave Jayang alive, even under the condition that she would be sent far away. But when I looked back through, I noticed the author's detail to body language and am blown away. The moment before that Dowun lays down the hardest question...
@AevaEl Harsh, but it would be a well deserved path for the story to take. I would make one change. I want to see Lyon have to make a choice between Baek's life and her own. In that situation, we would get to see if her romanticism or survival desires are stronger. I think Lyon would pick her...
@Torpe It's possible. I would like to say that Lyon does this, too, but I think she's acted like an idiot more than anything else when she makes decisions. You know, such as trying to chase down and apprehend her older, grudge-holding half-sister. We did see her rationalize an emotionally-based...
@Torpe Not to mention that the funeral tablet took too much time going through the political process for it to just be a convenient "manipulation strategy". I've talked about him knocking down the memorial stones before so I won't repeat the whole spill. Basically, I'm convinced that he was...
I have a bad feeling that Soo-won's "recited everything perfectly from memory" is going to be the trigger for the next stage of this tragedy. That entire conversation happened right in front of him.
@zz2000 They made the decision to save Jayang before Hong Lyon was acting sullen and rebellious. The closest she came to stepping out of line is when Dowun didn't want her to know they were about to assassinate her father.
I don't think the family has liked Dowun's rise to power. When Dowun...
I don't care how genius of a child Dowun was. Accusing a 13/14 year old of being able to completely manipulate Hong Lyon into planning into usurping the throne is a tad bit ridiculous. She is equally at fault and is going to have to accept that she chose to copy his personality and ambitions for...
I feel like I'm probably the only one who is walking away from these flashbacks with this thought, but doesn't this make Baek Han more than a decade older than the Princess? Because we still aren't up to the banquet fire and he's already served the crown prince for around 1.5 years. He would...
