They keep mirroring each other’s actions. First, he refused her an audience repeatedly despite her pleading, then later on she repeatedly refused him when he kept inviting her to the royal banquet. Another example— first bed scene, he told her to take the sofa but she refused; their second bed scene, she told him to take the sofa but he refused. They really know how to go full circle ⭕️ with each other 😄.
The fact that ian looks like that and haven’t had any relationships before and never kissed doesnt sound real…
He’s not a rule-breaker. Dad’s tyranny whipped him into shape. He wasn’t about to get caught in any scandals with women and sully the Crown. Given his extraordinary restraint and honorable character, it’s both possible and plausible.
This should have been a 16 episode series. they revealed the marriage contract too soon.wedding-poisoning-contract…
OMG 100%. A Director of this acclaim—it makes no sense that he’s doing these reduced-episode dramas. He’s top-tier. He should be doing 16 or more episodes as a minimum. The days of 20-episode dramas seem to be totally over though.
The PM (SML) couldn’t pursue FL before because his career aspirations wouldn’t allow for that union… politicians…
Really great analysis. I especially like your explanation of PM’s motives. The thing that sets Ian apart from PM (even though their situations in relation to Huiju and status are similar) is that Prince Ian is willing to deny convention and upset the order in order to be with Huiju. But, PM wasn’t able to make that same choice.
Plot twist theory, the contract was released either by I-AN or SHJ. or them both.
Exactly. Totally what I thought. I-an is too smart to slip up this royally. (Hehehe🤭, see what I did there.) Huiju is smart too, of course. I’m just saying that Ian was too cool and calm during the reveal of the contract—maybe due to years of practice in front of the media, or maybe because he wasn’t surprised at all that the contract was leaked. What would be the endgame though if he himself revealed it?
Does anyone remember Ahn Hyo Seop in “Seventeen Going On Thirty” or something like that? He looks 100% different now. He doesn’t even look like the same person.
Lee Kwang-soo tried to mess with our minds this same way in “The Manipulated.” I was like, what in the world? Who in the world? Wait, what??
