Could someone tell me whether the ‘noble idiocy’ trope (‘I’ll leave you for your own good’) has started in today’s episode? Thank you.

That’s how things are for the “friend” SML generally. They sit on their feelings all of their life, and suddenly get the courage when the ML enters into the picture. In here, you can’t even say it’s because he fears losing her, because as it was told earlier, she has had boyfriends before, but he didn’t get the courage then, but only now.

I think it hasn’t been released yet? I tried finding it but couldn’t. If you get to know, do tell me.

I think she’s just there as a jealousy device for the whole push-and-pull dynamic. She’s probably not going to have any real impact on the story, in my opinion.

They are perfectly made for each other! 😂

Yes, please, I just hope they wrap up this whole SML track and the girl the Queen Mother introduced by episode six, so we can finally move on to their relationship and his supposed ascension to the throne.

I thought it’d be a quick marriage, with the drama focusing on how they deal with the consequences. But looks like most of it is just going to be them jumping through endless hoops to get married.

And of course, the usual “friend” SML, sitting on his feelings forever, then suddenly finding the courage the moment the leads start getting close.

And seriously, all this angst and jealousy when their bond has just started forming?

Nevertheless, I’m seated for the next episode.

Waiting for this one! I’m a huge fan of the director.

Happy birthday! 🎂

Tell me how L&P is. I’ve read many comments saying it has toxic relationship between leads and the ML is super red flag?

I honestly didn’t expect it. I thought they’d stay true to the novel like they had been and give me a happy ending, but damn!

For me, open endings are worse than sad ones. Like, don’t leave me hanging in that kind of ambiguity.

So, as usual, they’ve ditched the novel’s ending and turned it into a C-Trauma. Why in tarnation do they love ruining happy endings like this?

He is the brother of the late king, not son, so the throne will pass to the kid, not him.

Thank you so much for the details! It’s nice it’ll happen early because I’ve seen many dramas where marriage is “supposed” to happen sooner in the drama, but they stretch it a lot.

“Why does the FL care about status if she’s already financially well off?”
— I think it’s because one tends to want what they couldn’t have or were told not to have. She grew up with the “illegitimate” tag, and that’s probably her sole weak point. So even though she’s well off, she still wants status as well.

“Why does the regent’s marriage have anything to do with the regency?”
— I believe it’s because once he’s married, his children “could” become rivals for the throne. He could also be seen as a power-hungry regent, especially if he marries into a big family, which goes against the propriety expected of a regent.

“Why is the PM considered the next regent after the Grand Prince, not the Queen Dowager?”
— I’m not entirely sure, but I assume it’s just how their succession laws or constitutional setup works.

“If the FL is illegitimate, would she be barred from marrying into royalty?”
— Since it’s a constitutional monarchy, they can’t really enforce such restrictive rules, it would go against modern ideas of equality. So status has more social meaning than real political or legal impact.

This is just my take. I could very well be wrong.

Could you tell me if the marriage is supposed to happen in early part of the drama or later part? According to synopsis, I’m expecting it to happen early, but asking you to verify it. Thank you in advance.

So they got together in the end? If that’s so, then I won’t have any problems watching the last episodes.

No. I want to watch the ending, but WeTV isn’t available in my country, so can’t have the express. If you get to know the ending, do tell me. ._.)
