I don’t know what people mean when they say this drama follows typical cliché tropes. What’s all the hate…
No. Yes, I keep giving K-Dramas a shot b/c so many of them start off really well and then - for reasons I will never understand - in the third act, decide to change everything we know about a character and create silliness for the sake of silliness. Just b/c something has always been done doesn't mean it needs to keep being done.
A lot of romcom kdramas used to be worse than this tbh..
Oh I know. I started watching one 'cause the premise was cute, next thing I know by episode 5 they are running for their lives and there's a whole secret King plot. lol
Is the prince just gonna huff and puff and not throw the whole bunch of conspirators into disarray?! Like dude…
Modern crown story my rear end. Give me some of that old-school Ancient drama scheming. No offense to Baby King he shoulda been deposed by now and they should be taking the heads of his mom, grandpa and the PM.
exactllyyyyyy -- why write the characters as such rebels in the beginning to then give us this?
They did a complete 180 with their characters to give us tired tropes no one asked for. I don't understand.
Man give me a historical drama any day b/c the scheming concubine/low-status wife would at least be poisoning everyone right now and setting people up on false murder chargers for effing with her man and her status.
Now - I think there is a 50/50 shot of this ending in the tried and true "we don't want power, we're just gonna go off in the country and be happy" that so many ancient dramas do.
For this couple it would be:
- Him no longer being Royal or Regent - Her being satisfied with being just Castle beauty CEO and leaving the company to her brother
Because they love each other so much. And that's all they need.
Have you thought about that the ''scorched earth'' tactic might just hurt him more? Maybe she did and she is doing…
Where it comes from and how it's used are not the same thing. It is NOT mindless rampage - why do you assume there's no thought behind it - it's just a way of saying I'm going to take everyone with me - that does not have to be a mindless endeavor. Are you for real?

She's a piss poor scheming concubine.
So amateurish.
She needs to learn from the Yangxi Palace ladies.

Yes, being weak and begging for help from someone who's never shown you an ounce of love. That'll show'em.
