I said this before and I'll say it again that i love the bro and sil. They were genuinely afraid that something…
I agree. In the first epaiode or two it seemed like real animosity between the two of them, but now that we’ve seen her brother + sister in law more, I like them, especially sister in law who is clearly the brains of that family (brother got really lucky to have a wife like that). I’m against him becoming a full successor though — it’s clear he’s not all that dedicated. But probably they’ll change the rules and FL will still be in control :)
I think Huijo's SIL is good... She is smart and keeps her husband in check whenever he starts to blabber nonsense…
She’s definitely too good for him, but she does genuinely love & support him (and keeps him in check like you mentioned). I hope they don’t turn them into villains 😊
It's like they read or watched a hundred fairy tales to figure out what's best about them, and then rolled that…
This screenplay won a competition for a reason. lol. But it was nice we got a Disney princess moment (proposal) AND a Titanc moment in the same episode 🥰
in middle of ep 6 why is queen mother against the marriage so much ? what impact will it have on her ?
Queen Mother’s ultimate goal has always been to make sure her son becomes a king and maintains his position as a king. But it’s hard to do because he’s so young and his uncle (ML) has to act as a regent and act as king’s replacement for many events (after all, the king is a kid). In theory, when ML marries, he moves out of the palace per their rules. And Queen Mother’s original plan was to force ML to marry a quiet lady of average nobility, a person who can be controlled by Queen Mother and who could keep ML in check. But instead ML is marrying a commoner (against tradition), but — even more importantly — he’s marrying a super rich & powerful person who can support him in attaining any of his goals… including becoming a king 👑 (which he himself admitted he wants to do). The important thing to remember is that the royal family doesn’t have a lot of wealth (the state pays to support them), they just have prestige & status. So if FL decides to bankroll a grassroots campaign to make ML the king, Queen Mother won’t be able to stop her.
The preview for ep. 6 is like a freaking Disney princess movie. That better not be a dream sequence!
To be fair, so far previews have been pretty honest and not misleading. Unlike many K-dramas where previews are just all misdirections or lies (that’s why I slip them normally).
