Bless you but there is nothing about this story that implies the creator is concerned with historical accuracy.
Good points. It’s also hard to reconcile the idea that the nobility wouldn’t routinely use the servants, staff for sex. Like it certainly wouldn’t be something to conceal in and of itself, as portrayed earlier in the story. Totally aside from any notion of consent, which would be absurd here. I’m all for artistic license, but I think certain key elements really need to be accounted for in historical fiction.
(Also I am personally outraged on Jihwa’s behalf here.)
There are few things I don't get:
- Jihwa thought in first chapters that Seungho's from DECLINING family, what's more he is literally outcast, who got some land but still his knot was cut off...but we see Seungho mistreating his fellow nobles (punching, manhandling them)... And there are NO consequences for his actions? He was literally stepping on Jihwa in public.
- Why don't we see any wives in the story? From historical view both Jihwa and Seungho should have been married for a long time. They are in their late 20s, if not in their early 30s.
