Ishido was to lose either way in that situation. Perhaps he wanted to kidnap her? It kinda looked like that. Not sure what it would have accomplished. To scare other nobles?

No, I got it. That's why ML also said what he said, that he'll go to hell for that instead of her. It is twisted logic though, because she herself has the intent to end her life and does the mortal blow to herself. She uses this logic to justify her sin, but it still hers. That somebody else would help finish her off is just a point of semantics.

Also, another potential bs - assisting in jigai, female seppuku. Women usually did it alone, nobody helped them with a sword. And they usually slashed their throat or belly, not trying to pierce their heart like FL here. Also, no farewell poems.
And there certainly was some twisted logic here by implying that whoever assisted her with a sword would take on the sin of murder. But mortally slashing yourself is ok. Wtf, lol. Only in this plot, I guess.

I also seriously doubt that her father wanted her to die for his sake. All that he did was knowing the repercussions of failure, so he made arrangements for her to live before that. And there was nothing to avenge - he wasn't wronged, he acted out of his personal reasons on his own. And if not for fatherly love, nobody expected anything of women back in the day besides birthing children, especially not fighting wars in men's stead.
That she still chose to do that through single thing she could control is fine here I suppose, but again, due to historical inaccuracies of this plot her character's behavior just looks very illogical. Not to mention abandoning her Christian faith for this. Irl person her character was based on was nothing like that, the only thing they've in common was their death's consequences.

Mariko was the MVP in this episode, but as I've said this before, her character is suicidal for no good reason, especially historically speaking. And if she so wanted to die here for the sake of her father, she could have done it years ago no matter what her husband ordered her to, opportunities galore. But no, she knew dying like that was pointless, it served no purpose and she wanted to make a spectacle out of it for the sake of revenge. I guess good for Toranaga for knowing his vassals so well and knowing when to use them. He's been throwing them under the bus masterfully.

It looks like you can't talk about the future, but you can try silently change it when it's about to happen? But then how can FL freely talk about being ML's fan, which only happened in the future? Plot hole?

So it's new here in the drama?

A question for people who finished the webtoon - does FL still end up in a wheelchair?

What? Like sugar daddy?

Can't help but wonder whether FL would change her own future...by not attending classes at all 😂 All she does is stalk ML 24/7, guarding his pants at night and whatnot.
Cuz let's be real here, unless teaching themselves, most of the people don't remember most of the stuff being taught at school after 10+ years.

Why are there so many time travelling "shoulda, woulda, coulda" plots in dramas lately? Is this the most popular trend in webtoons nowadays? Writers are getting older and having middle age crisis?
This drama's characters are cute and all, but can't help but think about how it's just some sad fantasies of a delulu fan dreaming of inserting herself into her favorite k-pop idol's life.

Or, alternatively, they came out of the woodwork to squeeze money out of her now that she's rich and famous and/or gain attention and/or ruin her career because they are jealous/don't like her/delulu. There are many lying "me too"-ers out there spinning stories for their own interest. Can't trust any side until real proof is presented. And not some, yea like, decades ago we were in the same school and she totally bullied me, totally. You got concrete proof and witnesses? If not, get the fck outta here.

Just nominally, lol. And that picture of him has potato quality 🤣

You've watched too many dramas.

People who cry for blood over alleged, as of yet unproven accusations are called lynch mob. A person should be treated as innocent, until proven otherwise. That's what the law says, not the dumb social media full of bloodthirsty mobs.

Why do these victims always pop up after a celebrity was involved in a successful hit?
Where were they before, all these years and decades prior?
And why so many of them later turn out to be lying delulu attention seekers trying to ruin a person's career and/or elevate themselves through sympathies on social media?

She probably hates him for marrying her off to an old geezer.

Ruroni Kenshin's fighting scenes are godly, but the rest is cheesy af.

I'm feeling there's more hate between the protagonist and Mariko than between her and her husband, lol. The only one in this triangle I feel love from is the cucked misguided husband 🤣 . Way to fck up this subplot. They really went out of their way to make the audience not care anymore. Especially with that historically inaccurate suicidal theme going on.

Also, Toranaga once again showed what a master manipulator he is. Threw his most loyal vassal under the bus to make all the treacherous rats to scatter.

Main problem is the script and actors schedules. They film dramas very fast though, could be 2025.
