I also think that the emperor might be considering putting her life in danger if needed.
I think that if he can, he will try not to sacrifice anyone, but he knows that some will die (like soldiers on the battlefield, for example). He doesn't want Duke Su to become some kind of emotional liability if he gets too involved with her. I think Duke Su would have had the same expectations for the emperor if he were getting involved with someone who might jeopardize what they are doing. Definitely, if an unfortunate situation arises, the emperor might consider sacrificing JL, but Duke Su would not. Anyway, I hope they will stay strong and not fall apart by having a plan B and pretending they are falling apart because of JL. At this point, both the princess and the wife killer know they are working together.
Our life was ruined by a corrupt official. Let me become worse than he is and ruin other people's lives. The logic...…
Oh, absolutely, it's all for the grand cause, okay? He's just on this noble quest to become the scholar who will save the world from corrupt officials like... himself. No biggie if he has to trample a few folks along the way, right? Because, you know, it's all for the greater good!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Uhmm.. Ngl when I started this drama I thought she is gonna be a scheming and exciting villian who plots and is…
Me too. She was a very disappointing character, and right now she just grates on my nerves. Even in the promos about her seemingly having the upper hand on JL, I'm not even worried, as she is not even close to JL's intelligence. The only thing she had was the element of surprise, but I'm sure once JL has time to regroup and think, she will outsmart her straight away.
When I went through the cast list and saw there was a young version of SYR, I had been expecting they would give…
Our life was ruined by a corrupt official. Let me become worse than he is and ruin other people's lives. The logic... I really didn't know I could hate him more, but thanks to that past and him saying he loved his wife, he topped the charts of my hatred. Kudos to the actor; he portrays him amazingly.
His job gives him red flag vibes (he only wears red and black anyways, lol) but he has green flag moments with…
I like that even if he cares for her and tells her that something she is doing is too dangerous, etc., he still respects her when she tells him that she is still doing it. He is not (so far) one of those male leads who bypasses her wants and decisions by making his own for her
Duke Su is such a great guy for giving her that advice at the end of the episode. It was exactly what she needed to hear. Remember how she gave up everything for her ex-husband? She suppressed her own identity and desires, consistently failing to be true to herself.
"I have a piece of advice for you. In the previous life and the current, live to the fullest. Never compromise yourself to become someone else just to please others, including me."
that's definitely what's happening here, they're trying to force us to feel sympathy for him... which makes me…
At first, I wasn't very sure about what was best for her, but after watching so far, it wouldn't make any sense for her to return to her former XFF identity after everything she's accomplished as JL. A lot of things would be nullified if she was revealed to be somebody else entirely.
Cause they have to rush everything since the ending episode is around the corner. They don't have much time left
The school arc was such a waste of time. It could have been so much shorter. The same goes for the stepmother. I understand they wanted to give space to the original JL vengeance, but it was unsatisfying enough that using less time would have been better. The exorcism and all that were so underwhelming
