I watched the series of this. 7 episodes only. 10/10. You should watch it. I haven't read the manga yet because I didn't know it was based on it at first. Just as all adaptations, maybe there is a difference. I watched it because the story was entirely new and interesting for me. I see a potential maybe because I was aware of the spoilers and I badly wanted to see how it will all play out which was all worth it in the end. The ending was good. Anyway this is the culture in Japan—cheating. However, the author has a different modern approach on this as Japan is very much traditional especially when it comes to relationship, women and marriage. Overall, it gave me goosebumps and I was crying lol.
Idk if u can call this spoiler (I will not go much into details for you to watch it)
Both couples are flawed, red flags. The marriage is very realistic. I love how they were able to be honest and talk it out despite it all (both couples). How they make an effort to start again, to do everything to maintain their marriage, and how marriage should be.
This story shows that marriage is not just about love and sex. The series convey a more in depth meaning to it.
But of course, it's still not ok to cheat even with the permission from your spouse.
sir won doesn't deserve to feel and be treated like this... whoever caused the death of nyeonbi should be the one that experiences this
Finally the plot is plotting. But pls don't tell me Theo lost his memory or something I'm gonna cry
I hope the queen has her own happy ending. She doesn't deserve his treatment.
so many korean mother's in kdrama are palbulchul lmao
This feels like a fever dream no way we're about to end
It said she can't say the words "I love you" to his majesty. Why? Is there a reason behind this? Is it spoiler? Pls put spoiler if it is...
From what I read in some spoilers… she will never say I love you to him and will die without saying it. Because she should not give her heart to the king. And the king will always put duty first before loved ones as his grandfather asked him too. It’s a bit tragic. Sometimes I wish the manga would be different than the novel on this, but it is what it is.
Tysm for this info
I wouldt tell this guy I loved him either. Given his entire set of issues and attitudes, allowing yourself to fall in love with such a person will just slowly grind your soul down, never being loved back the way you deserve.
The only thing you can do is be pragmatic. And you dont drop the L-word on someone whose affection for you, you always have to pragmatically contextualize.
There are luckily a couple mangas with effectively the same plot who take a more wish fulfillment approach to the relatioship dynamic and ending.
I think it’s still more tragic than that..I remember someone saying she will say something before dying or she’ll leave a letter to him saying that in their next life, if he sees her to ignore her and let her be free. They both love each other, they were just not meant to be together. He has duties to attend and his priority must remain the first princess who is infertile, on the other hand she dreamed about having a family and she will see every single one of her kids die in front of her… it’s just a tragic story :/
