We’re always seeing things through the noble woman’s POV. I mean, the antagonist that’s supposed to be the book’s protagonist are bad if they’re actually bad but how do u know? How are you actually sure that they’re bad when it’s all told from a side that obviously favours the mc? U can only ever know the full truth if it was written by a neutral party. One that doesn’t favour anyone. But it’s unlikely. In our mc’s story, she’s obviously the good person. But in the ‘antagonists’ story, he or she is the good person. Unless they’re absolutely shit and are self aware, chances of them actually being the bad guy is low. I mean, we’re all bad guys in at least one person’s story, right? If they were the protagonists in the book then why are they regarded as the antagonists here? You get what I mean? To have good there must always be a bad. What if they deliberately pin the blame onto the people that wronged them or that they deem fit to blame to make themselves look better? That’s why to them, our mc is shitty whilst to us, they’re shitty. Ya get me? Unless the person’s actually shitty as hell, who’s to say that the blond hair crown prince that brought back the woman he actually loved to escape from toxic high society is bad? In the privileged world, the innocent commoner is the wicked one. But the commoner hasn’t actually done anything wrong unless she consciously does shitty things. Stealing a man isn’t wrong too technically. Not that I would but if he would leave the mc for her then isn’t it good that the marriage didn’t go through yet? Because he could’ve done the same after the marriage. And she can’t be called a home wrecker because a home is made out of two loving people. Often the storyline consists of an obsessive mc that loved and chased after the fiancé when he clearly did not want that. I mean, if it happened to any of u I’m sure u’ll all react the same lol. Idk where tf I’m going with this but it’s all about perspective at the end of the day. Even the author’s biased sometimes but I mean, it’s their story lol.
In our typical shoujo manhwas the mc usually reincarnates or turns back in time etc,, but we are always seeing the mc as a noble woman and she always goes for the black hair ml and the blond hair dude is usually the nuisance or did sth bad to her. For example, taking in an innocent girl that knows nth and falling in love with her :DD I think we all know where this is going. The blond dude that might’ve once been in an arranged marriage with another noblewoman or was maybe chased after women who he did not feel the same towards is regarded as bad guy because after a certain extent it does get annoying. And I’m not saying it’s right to disregard the opposite party’s feelings but what if he just can’t break the engagement off as we know it’s not up to them. So the only option is to just love the commoner he loves and not love the fiancé whom he does not love. It isn’t right if he treats her bad but if she’s starting to be bitchy, which is also understandable, you can’t blame him for retaliating. Remember he mentioned a black hair prince that was chosen as the successor? If this blond hair dude was engaged to another woman he harboured no feelings towards then what we’re seeing here is how every blond hair prince antagonist ends up finding their love or sth. LMFAO IDK IT’S JUST KINFA FUNNY FOR ME YAKNOW HSJSOZHSOSB and more often then not, the women are the one who feels things towards the men when the men are kinda sick and tired of the same ‘fake’ girls rushing towards them. And they’re used to the same behaviour so is the mc leaves the antagonist, he’ll surely want her back because the change of attitude had sparked his interest. She was no longer like every other bitch in his dictionary. And plus, how many of you can say that you’re not in it for the fun when you start getting interested in someone. The chase and excitement of liking someone is thrilling. Plus, it’s even better when u can endlessly chase them without them liking u back (either that or I’m just one fucked up person ngl,, change is scary for me LMFAO)
