I think the punishment for her was quite ok. They did say that they her testimony will be helpful but it's not necessary. Giving her more hope that she is "needed" just gives her the satisfaction which she definitely does not deserve
I agreee!!!
esp regarding the sa thing.. It’s a sensitive subject so I’m kinda dissatisfied with how it was handled, I wasn’t able to enjoy the romance after it since what happened was rlly srs n a sensitive topic i was expecting a more slower pacing allowing us to process that situation and have it be addressed but no it just jumped straight into that shit n i was NOT feeling it ☠ the whole tension n everything just felt so forced and yeah underwhelming
I wish they handled the situation with janet better than whatever that was. She deserved her punishment, but could have been manipulated into giving testimony before receiving it. And that’s just Janet. The main culprit is the prince, but he’s such a high-profile figure they need a strong case to bring him down, and losing witnesses is the opposite of helpful. What will starting a war and putting unrelated people to the sword solve? Independence is good for security but surely there is another way to bring this vile man to justice aside from trouncing him when he shows up with an army—most people don’t even know the extent of the crimes he’s committed to have an opinion on the matter. We, the audience, hardly had time to process everything he revealed to MC let alone consider the implications of it all. We didn’t even have time to process the SA of MC before the story switched gears from the high-tension political intrigue to the romance. The romance is still important, the pivot was just a little jarring? underwhelming? confusing? idk. It’s sad because the mystery about what happened to ML’s ex-fiancée was part of the entire premise—the reason behind the deal between our main couple in the first place—was finally going somewhere before that momentum just stopped. And now we’re picking things back up in the least subtle way possible, with dire consequences. I like the series, don’t get me wrong, I just think the flow is weird
