I don’t know why I m feeling off about the emperor …
Am getting different vibes from him. I fear in his eyes he sees a person who's life he's probably already ruined, because ZL is carrying a darker past than from the time he first met the emperor. And now the emperor must once again ask him to face what will undoubtedly be a more dangerous threat this time, because no blade walks away unstained cutting out the decayed bits. So maybe even he knows he has asked too much this man than he ought to, but to save the empire and for the well being if the people, he must stand by his decisionto use ZL as his blade. More so his decision seems to haunt him just as bad because his expression changes when he holds his arms.
i feel bad for prince xin.....he really loves her....refusing to move on even after 3 years, recognising her soul…
If someone truly loves you that much yet you do not love them back, the best thing they can do is let you go. But he was different in a way he refused to let her have a choice. So the only feelings that mattered were his own and never hers. The devotion we see is just an obsession, even in death he does not want to let her be free of him.

But I feel like the reason he didn't fall all the way to the deep end was because of her. She kept him grounded. Who knew who he would have become with all the evil people that were around him had he not kept thinking about her. I believe she makes him want to be a better man.
As if she's much better? There is still not one redeeming characteristic in her person after 7 eps that makes…
My main issue with this show boils down to the Female Lead’s complete lack of empathy. While I’m not saying she is in any way responsible for the woman’s death, she was undoubtedly involved in the circumstances surrounding it. Even if she is technically "innocent," the fact that she can’t find a shred of sympathy for her half-brother or her father is jarring. They lost a wife and a mother.There was a specific scene during the mother’s death anniversary where the FL seemed completely indifferent. She is so trapped in her own bubble that she doesn't realize other people are suffering too. By secret thats exaclty what I mean, we the audience have seen they care but she hasn't which obviously creates a bias in how we'll view her action from then on. Yes, she is a victim in certain scenarios, but that doesn't excuse her treating everyone else like they don't matter. Her behavior comes off like an immature, spoiled teenager.Furthermore, she is a terrible boss and in real life that's just a toxic work environment. Furthermore, she is perharps coming from so much privilege because for an "illegitimate" child, she has everything: wealth, a high-ranking position in the company, and influence. Her obsession with gaining a noble title feels hollow because the show hasn't actually demonstrated why being a noble is better than being a wealthy, powerful businesswoman. Instead of trying to gain a title that doesn't seem to offer much, I feel like she should have just been focused on solidifying the power she already had so it can't be taken away. I just don't understand why she’s putting herself through all this trouble just for that type of "acknowledgment" when she already has more than most people could dream of. So yes, her character as the FL this all makes the show seem superficial and her appear to have no ethics.

I agree with you, her character is really poorly written. Like she has a few redeeming qualities. Like her appearance caused her half brother to lose his mother and her father his wife but she has shown 0 remorse since the incident was shown till now. Tbh that rubbed me off wrong, at least she could have been nicer given her family secretly cares about her. Now she just looks like she's ungrateful. Anyway, her redemption arc should have been in thist first half atleast. Around ep 7 I found myself wishing for a plot twist where he ends up with the queen instead, that was if she hadn't been the one to kill his brother. To me they seemed to have a better storyline and somehow the chemistry is there.
I really struggle hard to find things I liked about this show. Like really struggle. The ML's only good quality is that he's rich, otherwise am not convinced he even likes the FL. The FL, if I met her irl I'd think she was challenged. There's a point where we draw the line between sweet naivety and having the IQ of a 5 year old. I dropped this at ep 21 after that sterotypical depiction. Like wdym you travelled to 'Europe' and got attacked by black people. Let's just say it left a bitter taste in ny mouth. PS, I was already watching at x2 speed from ep 12 onwards. MLs sister and his bestfriend are horrible people and the FL deserves better. The things they did behind her back are appalling, and the fact they are still portrayed as the good guys is insane.
As someone who has once been where Han Gyul is, I can say I 100% understand what his train of thought is right now. The kind of questions he has can only come from her or him making peace when his brain finally reconnects with his emotions.
I also suspect the water ghost at the start is jihwan and the reason he is still around has something to do with Minhwan
