No. I must have missed something because although the dead husband blackmailed her with it, I don't know what the significance of the bracelet is - even though I have theories.

To be watched alone? Or do you mean solely on account of...? (I don't think that I could watch anything that screams 'misnomer' or 'whitewash' in the title.

Is it very political? Any drama about Tibet which is historically framed as "Tibet’s peaceful liberation" will probably whitewash the invasion and occupation of said country.

I am not even sure that she has a motive as such (that would imply that it was planned) - other than a need to impose her own standards on her offspring. Many patriarchs / matriarchs ruin their families because of their views on filial obedience, etc. Hopefully, she will see the error of her ways. But you could be right. There could be more to it.

Thank you. I will. It is very easy to ignore things in early episodes - which one needs in later ones to figure out what is happening.

I was responding to Starryeyes0803 about her comment. This was not my theory. Sorry. This was just a random guess of hers not based on anything in the drama itself.

Sorry. It was not my theory. Somebody else was just guessing randomly, stating that they would not be surprised if Yan was there to get revenge on the ML. When I replied to you I thought that I was talking to him/her.

Thanks for that. (There are actually comments about the supposed novel but I had not read any of them.)

No, you misunderstand. (There is nothing wrong with the men leaving to pursue their own careers.) I thought that it was odd that she would say it - IF she was the sort of person who chose not to allow her sisters to help with the running of the plantations because of arrogance or a need for dominance, etc. (But she isn't. IMO, her grandmother is to blame for the current state of affairs.)

There is a novel. There is a link to it / discussion about it at the top of the page. Yes. We'll see, won't we. Now I have to find the reply that I made to someone else who thought that I was you - and delete it. Somebody asked me why I thought that Yan wanted revenge.)

Oh thanks. As there is a link at the top for the novel I assumed that there was one. It did not occur to me that that link might be present on all pages whether there is a novel or not.

It never occurred to me as he does not give off villain in disguise vibes. I was just responding to someone else's comment.

Does it matter? or do you use that as a gauge to decide whether to watch a drama or not?

'Kingdom of Women' can just be uneducated rumour-mongering - but what is the connection between the missing Jang wife and the bracelet with the symbol on the bead which the first 'husband' used to blackmail the FL?

Why is no one talking about this? / A question for readers of the novel

But note her comment that 'something' changed; that some time in the past the men didn't leave and the women all shared the running of the family and the plantations. I find it odd. Not that it used to be that way but the fact that as you say she is in charge of everything - but that is because her grandmother expects it of her. Having said that, the stroppy sister actually says to her other sister that 'We all run plantations (or whatever the translation was)' which implies each have their own to manage but, if that be the case, why does she make a mess of the one which she has just taken over? But she clearly has some knowledge. Either that or her own opinions, however bad, are not based on actual experience but second-hand knowledge.

Why do you think that Yan (monk) would want revenge on ML? Is there something in the novel to cause you to consider this or is it merely - it would not surprise you if...? (random thought)

Hannibal Lecter the films - with Anthony Hopkins, or the NBC Hannibal series - with Mads Mikkelsen? I thought the series far more psychologically disturbing! P.S. Also very Nazi Germany.

I thought that at first - about the blood on the collar - but were they not just more petals. Of course it good be a red herring.

Good idea.
