Why do people act like it's such a difficult story to understand? T_T
The father wants to leave the company to Jitae so his half brother (Jian) wants to bring him down, that is why he planted spies in Jitae's house (to find something that can be used against him).
Then here comes Mieum who goes there as a spy. But the problem is that Jitae was kidnapped when he was a kid (typic kdrama plot, rich kid gets kidnapped), and the man who kidnapped him was Mieum's father.
Jitae was in love with Mieum when they were younger and Jian knew that Jitae would recognize Mieum, that is why he sent him there. Jitae recognized Mieum as soon as he saw the scar on his neck (chapter 2) and still loves him after so many years, but Mieum does not remember. (We had flashbacks which might mean that Mieum's father wanted to kill Jitae but Mieum saved him, and that caused him the memory loss. And now Jitae is trying to help Mieum find his dad (eventhough he almost killed Jitae and Mieum), because that's what Mieum wants, and trying to help him remember.
What we don't know yet is the Hajoon-Mieum-Jitae story. But probably Mieum took Hajoon's nametag by mistake that is why he thinks Hajoon is the good person.
Ah and probably (based on Jitae and Jian's convo in ch 6 or 7?) Jian sent Mieum to Jitae, because he knew that Jitae would remember his old love and would open up to him about his secrets. And as Mieum wants to do everything to save his father he would report everything back to Jian about Jitae.
But I guess he doesn't know that Jitae is on the way to find Mieum's father. (Maybe Jian thought that Jitae wouldn't bother to find Mieum's dad because he was the one who almost killed him, but Jitae is willing to find him because he loves Mieum so much and wants the best for him. Idk it's just a guess)
Do we know why jitae thinks mieum is lying everytime he's tried to say it's his first time having sec or along those lines cause there's nothing that we've seen that would give him reason to think he's lying? Kinda annoying he won't believe him and calls him a liar each time ppl were saying it's just dirty talk but it definetely wasn't to me anyway
I don't know but maybe they did it already when they were young haha or it's really just dirty talk, because maybe Jitae didn't believe it was Mieum's first time because it was literally Mieum who offered to "help" Jitae (in ch 3?) , so to be shy after such a bold statement seems like a lie...
I don't knkw which one is more possible, because when Mieum offered his "help" Jitae looked so hurt, so maybe he knows something
Yh maybe hopefully we'll find out or he'll just finally believ him bro keeeeps telling him to me it isn't giving dirty talk cause it seems like he really doesn't believe it just a bit of a pet peave of mine when semes won't believe something even after told repeatedly idk why it bothers me sm tbh thanks for answering btw
I have some questions and concerns..
First of all what's with the Sonja is a boy part in the end??? Was he/she also a victim of the father's mania? Like how Iliyan was forced to be a girl when he was a kid?
I actually liked Helen's character until the end. I mean I can understand why she didn't like Iliyan. She saw a kid who took her husband's attention, their house, money etc., and then her ex-boyfriend. But she actually never hurt Iliyan's career (turns out it was James), she was just being sarcastic and envy at him and his happiness with Kyle. And yeah she liked her own career more than she liked Kyle, there are people like her, who would give up love. But in the end???? Why did the author have make her a bad character? She really wanted to separate Iliyan and Kyle and get Kyle back, even in the end?? After seeing what they went through and how much they love each other??Like wtf, stay in your lane grandma, there was no need for that. And she even ruined Iliyan's career so that he had no other choice but to stay in Alaska. But I like how Iliyan did trust Kyle more T_T
And that side story with Gale and Robin??? It was soooo toxic, it's so obvious that Gale does not like Robin, only treats him as a sex toy, and now that they are in the same city again he will use Robin again. They tried to make it sound like Gale wanted to protect Robin from his dangerous lifestyle, but it's so hard to beleive, it felt so forced. He is literally a 2nd James Taylor, a stalker who happens to be stronger and crazier than James. He just didn't want Robin to have a happy life without him, but there was nothing romantic in it.
It would have been better if Gale and Helen end up together or whatever.
But all in all I loved it, one of my favorite story. Kyle is such a green flag character, and I loved Iliyan, he is so funny crazy. I liked how they payed attention to his alcoholism and how important it was to work on it. And I could actually understand Kyle's saddness, he thought he payed attention to Iliyan but he missed all the details on how severe Iliyan's alcoholism was. And even when they first met he found it funny that Iliyan was wasted even before the party started and gave him more to drink and had sex with him :( but at least he learned from his mistakes.
I know everyone is obsessed with the love haha but talking about the story, I'm not sure if Kyungjoon's idea would be good (I know what will happen, but still I think about his plan) . He knows that 3 wives have died already and still would push his sister to marry Lee Nok. Dude your family might be quite influental, but you saw already that the Queen is working with ghosts and curses, yet you choose to throw your sister into it? Nah
Help Lee Nok as his royal bestie, not as the brother of his wife... That sound like an either suspicious or very stupid idea.
But they have already found the cursed objects around the palace in the previous chapters and it made a big fuss. Even if he doesn't know that the prince is cursed (but still, there were rumors in the whole country, if you reread the first few chapters. Also he knew that the prince couldn't sleep at night) he should know by now that the queen is working with curses.
Don't ask me why but I immediately love every story where the seme is younger T_T younger kids taking care of their hyungs T_T
