Dreamy

They are not a twin though? Hye Ri is Eun Ho lil' sister, you can see on the flashback when they show teenage Hyeri lies in bed, adult Eun Ho (played by SHS) open the door & seems to be upset with her

Eunho & Ju Yeon?
The show never even market them as pairing, it's always either Eun ho-Hyun Oh or Hye Ri-Ju Yeon
Ju Yeon feel attracted to Hye Ri, not Eun Ho. In comparison, it's not like if you're feeling attracted to one of the twins then you'll feel attracted for the other twins too.
Also, Hye Ri was created based on Eun ho's remembrance of her dear lil' sister, thus her view has innocent take & gesture like a kid, similar to the words written in Hyeri's old diary

Is it the latest ending song play on ep 4? If so then I agree, it's beautiful, wonder if they release it already?

So my hunch was right (she was a kindergartener to highschooler at best), hence to me Hyeri & Ju Yeon was never plausible to begin with (as romantic pairing) but suitable more as a healing, comfort partner.

Yeah but people like to jump in the gun so soon & judge people for what they think it's right without further checking, like the way they keep telling he is an offender & worst name calling when none of this were true, it was an allegation which never been proved in court. It can also be an extortion from the oppose party which court has been even sentenced guilty in defamation. We may know nothing but so did they, even worse, killing people's name & dragged people's down without evidence is a serious issue. You can't just called people a rapist, a sex offender that easy, when court after hearing from both sides & looking evidence from both sides found him not guilty & won his case over her. This case even happened like 7years ago. Everything about it feel sus & feels like they purposely try to kill his name & dragged his name though mud over unproven case.

Oh yes I wasn't meant to say JY imply it to be that way, coz yes I think he made it clear for what he feel about her, but the writer seems to keep using this physical approach when picking their dialogues whether it's intentional on her part or not.
As for Hye Ri, I took Hye Ri as a kid (in mentality) coz her view is too innocence's like a kid, esp the way she articulates her words or often stutters when speaking. Besides, Hye Ri personality & view seems to be Eun Ho's remembrance of her younger sister used to be (like what was written in her diary).

Maybe we'll know her backstory later, I only read the last chapter so I'm just as clueless as you 😅. However I think they hint her being knowledgable & love to read, maybe it's her true passion & not necessarily being in charged in a highkey position as queen. Or maybe she just tired after her rough revenge journey & just want to live in a lowkey manner.

Maybe she was bethroted when she's little & name doesn't really matter in those time, like her title as 9th princess of Masui, she may know him as 3rd prince of Tiandu or something, just his title & not certainly his name 😅

Haha yeah, idk why he receive this much hate when clearly often in life we say hurtful things to those we loved too albeit we care for them sm, people can say hurtful thing over emotional heated at that short moment/ discomfort, over different stance in value, in personality, principle, etc even when we feel we already try our best to be mindful when speaking.

And to me Hye Ri looked like a person with kid's mental age/viewing point, so romantic relationship wise I don't ship her with anybody & I think her relationship w/ JY shd never be seen romantically either, platonic relationship seems to be more proper coz idt she even understand adult relationship yet, they don't share similar emotional maturity in age.

My problem w/ this 2nd pairing however, to see how the writer often use physical affection for these two people with different emotional maturity in age to convey their feelings, like kissing without consent, the "I wanna wake up together with you next time" statement hence I can't help but feeling discomfort w/ their approach, it's like watching a child playing roles as adult.

Yes, he can't be tamed & seem to hv done more than enough damage to HBS.

Yeah ikr? idk if I shd root for either couple, they keep her ex backstory for far too long & the other forced pairing I don't think I can watch them doing a supposedly to be romantic stuff together without being uncomfortable when the other party is like a kid in adult's body while another party doesn't seem in a good mental health either, that too with the additional of weird convo/ problematic gesture being whitewashed & romanticized, a tropey melodramatic teen romance on steroids sounds spot on, you find its correct term 🤌

I think he said it that way as a waking force for her to be more independent & a wake up call for her to stood for herself as she seem to be too much co-dependent to him during their dating time, hurtful words nonetheless & not helping her current mental health at all.
But above it all, he seem to still care for her well being despite try keeping it for himself, thus he came of as giving her mixed signal.
He also can't easily defend her infront of his coworker either since it'd only make her image even worse (to be defend by her ex).

Nobody knows I guess 😂 but imho the older brother has way more screen presence (not necessarily screentime but overall better acting & meaty character thus bigger impact) & there's still a possibilty for future plot twist

Agreed! although maybe the road leads to there would be rough before we can achieve it.

It does seems to hold meaning but I haven't got to read that part (only gets to read the last chapter)🤭

He died (justfied death), the last battle will be between him & HQY.

Before this last chapter, I read chapter 12 which's the part where HBS was asked to serve NZ & the drama seems to follow the novel closely scene per scene to the dialogues, so most likely I think they will

I skimmed through the last chapter just to know the ending:

HBS & HQY lived together and they have twins, a girl & a boy, the boy pronounced as crown prince. HQY ruled Tian Du as a King but since HBS never wanted to live as Queen, HQY accept what she wanted, he didn't give her the title & announced that he'll never appoint a queen.

GXW ruled as Masui Queen/leader & give birth to a boy she named Ruo Wen

Na Zhan has really fallen for HBS & HBS become a women he can never have nor forget.

The world is at peace, they make an exchange agreement.
The winner did not win, and the loser did not lose.

Novel's ending :

Thank you! It seems the drama follows the novel quite closely scene per scene even dialogues, gonna read it to fillin' the time since 1 ep daily isn't enough for me 😅
