@silkytea ahhh so that's why they seemed so familiar

@Kendama I agree with you. I deeply respect King Il for calmly accepting his fate and doing his best with what he has, instead of falling into murderous hysterics in the vein Greek tragedy figures do. He has his own convictions and stays by them with integrity. While he was not the most...

I don't dislike Soowon because wrong or no he at least has a conviction, but why is Yon-hi so useless? Literally from when she was introduced until now she hasn't made a single decision for herself. She barely takes responsibility for anything beyond brooding occasionally. And that isn't the...

Oh, I actually kind of understand this dumb dumb protagonist now. A big mass of black would be kind of intimidating

OMG her kuudere conversation techniques crack me up

Awww the queen is a quirky sweetheart

I'm not a fan of her motivations for bringing the Baek clan into court, but it's definitely good to have a counterbalance of political and military power in the capital...for the people at least...since no one seems to think about the citizens

@Ren_1778 Yep, everything he's done is in what he thinks is their best interests. The irony is that both Dowun and Han see themselves in Lyon and in a way are molding her into their own ideals. Only Dowun would pluck whatever it is that she wants to gift to her, and Han would sit by the lake at...

The real tragedy would be if Lyon gathered the Baek clan and killed Dowun who has been trying to protect her the entire time. Also it's becoming more obvious Dowun is just shit at expressing himself to the extent that Dogyeol doesn't realize his brother is only trying to protect him

Poor Dowun legit can't trust anyone. He's right to be like this, groomed from childhood to raise his entire family from obscurity to power and he can't even trust his own blood relations.

Okayyyyyy she's being way too petulant and emotional this chapter. But honestly it means she still cares and hopes for Dowun's affection. You don't act out in front of someone who you think won't care at all and don't care for what they think of you. Take it from someone who gave up and never...

Yes! Character growth. She needs to come to terms with that. It's okay that she took a bit longer but I'm glad she's matured enough to take personal responsibility over the parts she could control. And that's why I still believe Dowun and Lyon are better suited. Han is a fantasy that she goes to...

@arrow1350 I agree. She's flawed but that makes her relatable. She really needs to take responsibility for her actions instead of blaming Dowun for it all. Dowun and Baek Han are direct foils. Han reminds her of her past self, the one who was kind but would never have survived this long (the...

This kinda proves Dowun right that you can't be softhearted in her position even for what seems like a harmless grandmother. She's sheltering her worst enemy. I understand why the old woman would, but this does not serve Lyon and Dowun well

This is why you can't introduce a third person into a struggling marriage. Instead of working on it together she's always going to be comparing the two which is unfair because the situations, responsibilities, and burdens are completely different

Oof that looks like visual foreshadowing with both their blades pointed at each other

Huh, maybe it's just me but I prefer the difficult relationships. Just feels more worth it in the end. I'm all for Dowun and how he doesn't go easy on her

I'm sorry, I like him, but this just feels very opportunistic.

Really hope Dowun is the ML. He's working so hard to keep their plans/nation running and that's only possible when you're cold and ruthless. It feels cruel to punish him for the personality that was required for them to succeed. There's a reason why Hong Lyon became like that too during her tour...

@AevaEl Agreed. I don't mind master-servant relationships (but mostly only in the context of isekai-ed MCs, because it removes some of the power imbalance), however in this situation it just feels like a home-wrecker getting in the way of building a complicated and difficult but meaningful...
