This would have been a good theory if we had 16 episodes

There have been instances where it’s difficult to install modern technology to historic buildings without ruining the foundation. However, since they have electricity AND there was an unexplained fire in the recent past, it is an interesting choice not to include sprinklers OR at the very least keep a fire guard within the palace property lines 🙈

Probably the spy maid. The moment the Lord found out she spoke to the PM, she became a liability. The QM needs to keep the maid alive in case things go awry since her father pretty much threatened her that she could be his scapegoat if needed.

The fact that she owns the only Bugatti in the country says a lot about Castle Group’s wealth🙈

From how I see it, the father's reasoning comes out of concern for both I An (as a general observor/ for HJ's sake) as well as a means to protect HJ from further danger. It's not out of malice like with the PM.

The marriage contract is just an excuse for I An's enemies to force him to relinquish his royal rights. If HJ decides to divorce him and take the blame (specially since technically all accusations were directed at her), then the enemies can no longer gain what they want= keeping I An safe.

Since Castle Group is powerful, they can protect HJ from most of the backlash as long as they remain united as shown in ep 10,

I An's plan is pretty good too but Tae Joo's brotherly speech is important to help even with his agenda since you need the public's support. Imagine finding out that "the nation's pride" was willing to sign a rediculous contract just to protect his beloved's rights and not because he was hungry for power?

Gosh I can't recall the last time a drama made me laugh so many times within an hour 😹😹😹

If he just accepted it, it would cause an uproar. It's already a mess with the public.

Good things take time.

Knetz throw hissy fits over idols dating so it's probably a thing there.

Hell they might as well make it a sport at this point- the best protestor😅

I made a mistake in my original comment when i typed "grt hwr"- it should have been "get her" like Mary pointed out.

Opps typo🙈

I know I'm probably being delusional but I'm lowkey hoping that the PM doesn't really want to kill I An- he hates I An's guts but may be in this particular case with the Lord, he's just being covert?

"Keep your friends close...keep your enemies closer" kind of case?

Right now Lord In.. and the Queen Mother are under the impression that the PM is willing to do anything to possess Huiju. Isn't it the best cover to infiliterate into enemy lines and figure out their plans before things go out of hand?🙈

PS: DELUSION is the key word here

QM definitely had a crush on him back then. Hell, she probably still has some residual feelings left considering the way she blushes when ever things get heated between them/ when she saw him shirtless.

It's kind of sad really...not only did she have to give up on her feelings, she also lost her close friend in a way (seems like she and I An were school buddies long before the royal proposal came up). Worse- she has to see him daily even after giving up.🙈🙈🙈

The PM is an enigma at this point. Assuming he truly abandoned his rosary, I guess he chose the dark side. But idk...he's still powerful enough to do some good/ make things worse🫠

Don't think it's the queen mother- she's finally beginning to see sense. We are about to get her healing era (assuming her father doesn't drag her down further)

I know he's been pretty dispecable so far but isn't it kind of endearing how Hiuju's father was willing to pretend to be sick to help her?🤭

More like sending daggers through his eyes🙈

He is quite bold though because unlike most SMLs, the PM actually has enough power to cause chaos/ end chaos.

1)When/ why did they fall in love?
I An fell for Huiju because she was the opposit of him. Even when they were kids, she persevered through any obstacle thrown at her/ didn’t fold despite how harsh her family and society was to her. For a suppressed young prince (specially as a guy that’s not impressed by materialist things as indicated in ep 9), Huiju would have definitely caught his attention even as a kid. His love for her probably deepened once they started to spend more time together - long enough to see her true self behind her cocky mask.

As for Huiju? We can see it happened more gradually after they started to spend time together during their “dating” period. Is it really that unusual for someone so unloved to fall for the first person that sincerely cherishes her as she is even if it could hurt him? The PM doesn’t count because while he was nice and caring, it wasn’t completely unleashed like with I An.

2) “How th did Dowager even get the contract? How are they so stupid that is got found? “
They’ll probably reveal it in ep 10/11. She seems to have another secret after all based on the preview.

💯

I don't understand why some viewers call Hiuju weak after last night's episode / mention that they ruined her spunky character.

The fact that she kneeled and begged her father to help her the second she saw him shows how strong she is. She meant every word. She let go off her pride and past VALID grievances with her family to protect I An. That's such a difficult thing to do- specially for someone like Hiuju.
The fact that she did it even before giving her father a chance to react emphasises her desperation even more.

The problem is that the clause about the divorce sounds ironclad and cannot be negotiated.

Exactly!
