Toxic relationship v Understanding relationship + a side of a weak king
I didnt realize why I knew the plot until the hunt scene and then i remembered i had watched it before. The bear outfits on people was so bad it was comical. Verbal abuse is still abuse his desert rose was just verbally abusive to him and he was physically abusive to her. (Amber and Johnny Depp anyone?) It also had me thinking about feminists and the original movement and what it morphed into. The original movement was supposed to be women supporting other women no matter what they chose: career, domestication, or whatever they wanted without the oppressive weight of society to do or be any one specific thing. In the 21st century we have become our own aggressors against ourselves. The glass ceiling we wanted to break – did we really break it or did we just put more people on top of it? I enjoy watching dramas by this FL because she tends to choose stronger more female-positive friendly roles. I like that she didnt settle for either prince and never apologized for waiting until the prince suffered what he put her brother through. I like that her prince met her on her level and that the two (presumably) live their life-long goals of bloodshed, conquering, and defending. (Again, not what i would plan to do with my life but hey girl you do you.)
