Me too… Like the king is so unstable that he’s capable of one day snapping and killing Sam-myeon. I don’t see how they can be together not even stocklhom syndrome can justify this. Since it’s calle the heart of the lotus and that’s Sam-myeong maybe there’s hope of an scape, someone else who’ll be the endgame. If not maybe a reincarnation arc or Sam-myeong will be so broken that he will completely give up and surrender to this misery. I mean he’s practically blaming himself for something that’s not his fault at all.
But at the same time he’s so strong willed that I don’t see or I want him to just give up. The king is too unstable and calling him a black flag at this point is an understatement. I hope they both get a peaceful ending because as fucked up as he is…He clearly has mental health problems and I can’t even imagine how it must be for him inside that brain. I can’t help but feel for him a bit in that aspect. HOWEVER it does not excuse what he’s done and hopefully he will be hold accountable for it
Yes, I am in total agreement with you. I really like how MC is very strong-willed but has a flaw in looking at the good side that doesn't or no longer exist. The emperor's behavior isn't his fault and I hope he realizes it in the future.
Yes and because he looks for the good in people I don’t want him to end up doing so whenever he finds out what happens to the ML or if there’s a coup de tat (he’s overthrown by his people). I don’t want him to feel pity and stay with him so I have hope Sam-myeong will see him for what he is and free himself or if someone offers to help him, he says yes.
I'm genuinely concerned for MC. Cause the king is absolutely off his rockers. I didn't feel this sense of dread in a while. Of course, his appearance adds to his behavior, which makes it more uneasy. Looking at him, you can tell there is something off with him. I'm glad he doesn't look like the typical beautiful male character. It separates him from the rest. He stands out from all the other characters in this. I Hope MC somehow gets away, but I doubt it even if he does I hope something interesting comes out of it.
