Haha yes - we can't watch the show with a serious mindset. :)

That's a fair point. It's not a good idea to breakup for DH's sake.
I guess in a way that does show where their mindset is still at. Everything was out. Both JH and AJ were technically released from their public execution in a way but still both JH and AJ were punishing themselves. Their relationship wouldn't last long if they continued the way they were going.

Both are too self-sacrificing to have a rational conversation where they could talk it out🙊

Exactly!

1*Busan trip- it was curiousity. He made such an outrageous declaration that he will make her fall for him, she couldn't help herself.

2*not telling the SML anything- by this point AJ was catching feelings and was having second thoughts about the contract. So while she kept DH on the loop that the bro is still behaving like a brat, she just didn't elaborate on it since even she can't explain her thorn behaviour.

3*AJ was hurt about the blind date but she was more mad that JH didn't try to defend himself when the other guy was insulting him.

4*JH drinking the whole bottle of liquer is symbolic in a way. The date challanged AJ to drink the whole bottle. JH is somebody who only drinks 1 glass when he is out with people he doesn't trust. The fact that he broke his rule to help AJ shows that despite his animosity towards AJ he actually cares about her alot and felt bad about setting her up.

DH isn't stupid- he has a stalker on the loose so he has to be extra careful- specially after the marriage plans.
I guess to balance this, they introduced the scorned ex (so he has some guy trouble but not anything active)

The Busan trip was out of curiosity- he made such a huge rediculous declaration that he would make her fall for him so she had to check out what was he upto. The fact that he knew her so well did end up making her like him more since he was the first person outside his family who actually paid attention to her (to the point of knowing which actress was bullying her)🙈

Ji Han (the meddling younger bro) and AJ

Can anybody explain why was it so wrong for them to break up?

Both AJ and JH were buried in guilt and were willing to sacrifice their own happiness to "protect" the other to an extreme level.
Eventhough Do Han finally told the truth, by this point JH and AJ's relationship was too toxic- they weren't working as a team.

The breakup while rocky was handled quite better than expected. It ended in a good note rather than in a way that could hurt them both. It's just "Good bye for now".

(Just my opinion anyway 🙊)

It's just temporary based on the preview. You can't really have a relationship built on guilt and lies. They need to reboot and start over once they are ready

Turns out AJ really is a princess - she kept her drunk promise to confront the grandfather 💪👑

It's just like what AJ told the grandfather. Everything had gotten so out of control that everybody was making sacrifices for the sake of the other without really solving anything.🙊🙊🙊

They all needed a breather at that point:
-Do Han leaving the country on his own terms
-Ji Han taking a break from his family and everything else that had consumed most of his life
-AJ needs to come to terms with the whole situation with the 2 brothers too and how she nearly lost herself by going through with the whole fake marriage in the first place

The breakup was bittersweet but the relationship ended on a good note - one filled with "may be someday" rather than an ugly dramatic breakup where everybody felt guilty hurting the other.


The time skip may seem cliché and annoying but it is a realistic timeframe for them to heal and move forward with their lives.

Nope, tomorrow is the last episode but looks like it will have a happy ending

Sanpang isn't really that bad...he's just looking out for Qian since he knows first hand how terrible Qian's life has been thus far.

To be fair, Qian was months away from finally getting released from his "parental" role once Lili started college. To SP, Yuan's love is a new burden for Qian to bear with (seeing as at that point Qian didn't have feelings and to them at least it felt wrong because of the whole non existant bro issue).

The distance was a necessary evil in a way for both Q and Y to understand their feelings and change their dynamic but the way it was executed was just too harsh 😅😅

SP is going to get his karmic justice though seeing as he's in the same exact relationship drama with Lili 🤣

The novel ends on a happy note so let's hope for the best!

You are the best! ❤️
The stills just make me even more impatient now 🙊🙊🙊

Seeing the preview...i think it's a combination of both. Yuan has always been by his side so suddenly cutting him off would definitely give Qian "withdrawal" issues. Unconsciously Qian is addicted to Yuan's presence. It's just that he's too confused and probably afraid to truly analyze his feelings. Looking forward to Qian's jealous era- he's finally going to see the light 💡

That certainly would make an interesting twist and explain why she was so calculativng and confident of her plan. She looks quite different from her "before" photo too so who knows what she could have done.


About the funds, they did mention in the latest episodes that Yoon was exceptionally smart and was sponsored by Queens till he was adopted/ arrested

Tell me about it. I can understand being foolish about Mrs Moe but at least with financial investments you'd think they'd do the bare minimum at least for the sake of their shareholders
🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I guess it's a combination of being under the grandfather's thumb for too long/ mixed priorities and being sorrounded by wolves so even if they are suspicious they keep asking the wrong people to help (like SC's son's dna test/ the matchmaker)🙊🙊🙊

"Half blooded first cousins"? How is that possible? Sorry, the first few episodes i only rly focussed on the main couple so guess something was missed 🙊
