Wait, ML's dad died 13 years ago. ML's brother was crown prince when he got married. That means ML's brother's…
Yes, which is why I believe she faked a pregnancy to get the crown prince to marry her. Without it he would probably have given the throne to Yian and became a carefree playboy (like he was described in his character description)
Did they say she was pregnant for the marriage to proceed ? I don’t recall that. I mean getting married to the…
Yi-an heavily implied someone already had a premarital pregnancy in the royal family (but he would never throw such a tantrum) when he was talking to the Queen Dowager at the beginning of episode 3. Her face suggests he meant her. And it seems the brother would not have gone through with the wedding without a strong incentive...
Also, about the Queen behavior towards Yi-An. You only need to read her character synopsis that rsooinna posted:
"After entering the royal school instead of sungkyunkwan, she actually met her future brother in law grand prince lee ahn before her fiance the crown prince. perhaps because of the thought that they would become family, her eyes often went to him. actually he was the kind of man who would catch your eye even if he just stood still. an indifferent expression, a quiet nature, and the desires hidden underneath it all. somehow it seemed like he was similar to herself too.
Maybe that is why. every now and then she would dare to imagine what it would be like if he was the crown prince. if he was not a grand prince but the crown prince, if he was not her brother in law but her husband, how would it have been.
Whenever her heart grew desperate, yirang reminded herself of a queen's life. her destiny to become the king's woman, become an idol to all women, and become a part of history. "
I think I figured out the reason behing Yian's dig about getting pregnant before marriage. In episode 4 we find out that his father died 13 years ago, but Yi-An's brother was still the Crown prince when he got married. And the current king is 8 years old. She lied about being pregnant so that he would marry her.
Is ML and his sister are step siblings , as she doesn't care about his mother and she doesn't see him as brother
They are half siblings - they have the same biological father. The sister is the ML father's affair child that he just brought home one day. (Step siblings would mean they only became siblings by their parent marrying, but have no biological relation.)
The sister is so vile. I though that not inviting the FL was bad, but episode 2, just wow. I really hope they do not try to “redeem” her like a lot of kdrama do. What she did is absolutely unforgivable.
When the "fiancé" was nagging her about not breaking up because she would be divorced before getting married ... I wish she told him she could just become a widow instead. What an asshat.
1. What the diff between half and step?2. Where's the hint?3. Water always scares me.4. 10 years ago?5. How about…
Half brothers share a parent as in they are biologically related, while stepbrothers are just connected by their parents' marriage - no blood relation. Kathryn is probably implying that Sunwoo Hae's father was having a second family way before his mother died...

It's unrequited love/crush on her part.
