Well, pillows are indeed hard to swallow.
That is a great analysis. It's hard that some people tend to view a story with their standards rather than the perspective of the writer. These people disregard the setting that was deliberately made by the author and complain how difficult it is to understand the story.
Idc what anyone says I feel so much sympathy for jihwa. People act like he’s the cruelest person in this series for getting upset and wanting revenge if anything it’s understandable. if I were in his shoes I’d be miserable like he is bc imagine watching the person you knew almost your entire life and loved fall for someone else and on top of that is of a lower status of you...not only would I feel hurt but humiliated as well especially being a noble. I feel a lot of people are forgetting that too like?? nakyum is a low born, he’s a painter who refuses to paint with nothing to his name. And jihwa, who comes from a noble family and almost on the same footing as seungho, is getting treated lesser compared to nakyum. Obviously if it were real life and modern times, this would be labeled classist and horrible but this type of hierarchy is a part of the potn world so??
For example, in season the first or second chapter seungho killed a man bc he thought he was lying. That man was easily disposable bc he had no noble ties to him and seungho didn’t even blink. That goes to show how low borns were looked/treated by nobles but all of a sudden when jihwa, a noble, puts a hit on nakyum and doesn’t even go through with it he’s the bad guy? Also not trying to excuse everything jihwa’s done bc they were indeed horrible but it’s the double standard that’s bothering me. Because if anything, seungho has been way more cruel towards nakyum than jihwa has. That’s a hard pillow to swallow for some of you guys but it’s true and I will gladly die on this hill.
