I feel like some people might be jumping the gun on calling him a red flag. Obviously he’s suspicious, but I honestly feel like he’s not even human? Or he is but there’s something wrong with him psychologically that makes him act like he’s not or something? Like look at the stitches on his neck. Bro really got his head cut off. Is it like a Frankenstein situation maybe? I don’t know, I just don’t think he’s that type of “red flag” you usually see in BLs.

The backstory just made my concerns about the potential second ml grow. Like he was a grown man while they were in school. And he knew MC while he was still a child. Him being the possible second ML is gross to me. I don’t care if he’s 10x healthier or hotter than the ML this is not it.
Hopefully he just remains the overprotective uncle/ older bro type of character. If not, he’s tainted to me as a character lol cause that is weird to be feeling that way about someone who you witnessed grow up while you yourself was an adult the whole time.

I’ve been hearing that the 3rd season is going to be the last and I’m a little shocked. I honestly feel like we’re barely halfway through the story. Can anyone confirm or deny if it’s actually going to be the final season?

I also cannot see Season 3 as the final season because there’s a lot to cover. Only unless the season will be a very long one like some of Naver Webtoons.
Generally speaking, the next phase is basically covering Carcel and Ines’s past and showing why they belong together as their relationship grows deeper and deeper. Calztela was Ines’s first phase of healing. The next phase comes in Season 3. Both the Valeztena and Escalante families are supposed to appear more as well since both families become more relevant from then right through the end of the side stories especially Carcel’s father, brother, mother and Luciano.

There’s Oscar and Alicia to deal with and a war that covers the last part of the story.

I honestly just really hope there will eventually be a period where she becomes more assertive. I understand that she’s at a disadvantage due to the ml’s social status compared to hers. I also understand that the ml is quite childish and makes a lot of mistakes. And I did find it cute how he was so downbad for her.
But after seeing him pursue her for 50+ chapters with her constantly being indecisive about her feelings and what she wants to do, I need to see some progress. And at this point, the only way for them to move forward without it seeming like the ml is coercing her and forcing her would be for her to start pursuing him as well.
That’s why I really hope once she gets out of this dilemma and accepts the disappointment she’s feeling from him not pursuing her anymore, she will take the lead in making their relationship official.

Can someone explain what Carcel meant when he said the archbishop can start his business a lot sooner if Emiliano gains recognition? I’m confused about the correlation.

The is long but I had a lot to say lol so bear with me:
For all the people believing a jealousy and chasing arc will fix everything and make the ml regret everything, I feel like you guys are kind of missing the nuance in the ml’s character and over-red-flagging him. We don’t know the full history yet, but it’s clear he’s ignoring her cause he thinks he has and WILL hurt her, not cause he’s an evil red flag. So the second ml gunning for her won’t cause him to regret his actions because it won’t change the negative image he has of HIMSELF. At most he’ll be protective over her cause he wants her to date a good guy.
He’s not those red flag mls that go through their development arc. He’s an insecure dude that got triggered from unresolved trauma. What he needs isn’t to “realize his feelings” cause he’s already aware of them. He needs someone or something to convince him that he won’t hurt her and that he is good for her cause that’s his actual dilemma. So, I feel like a jealousy arc will have the opposite affect.
The ml first needs to go through positive character development and build up confidence in himself. Once he does, I think a chasing arc would make sense AFTER.

I kind of agree, but I just think the whole misunderstanding arc is so cliché and lazy writing. I’ve seen it too many times and these authors need to get new ideas because all of these stories are giving copy and paste. There’s many ways to develop a character then just giving them the typical miscommunication trope and making the female lead wait for them until they figure out what they want in life.

I completely understand what you mean. I think I’m just giving this author the benefit of the doubt cause they’ve proven, to me at least, that they’re not as incompetent as I thought they would be.
I also wasn’t too mad at the end cause it’s actually in-character for him. He’s been described by numerous characters in-story, including the mc, as an anxious “pussy”/ coward. And his trauma was hinted very early on considering the nightmares he kept getting. So him rejecting her like a coward after the purple haired girl triggered him, although annoying, makes sense narratively to an extent.
The one thing I do find frustrating, and definitely copy-paste like you said, is him ignoring her cause I don’t understand the need for that. I definitely lost a little faith in the author after seeing the appearance of the second ml at the end, and the way the ml ignored her. So I do also agree with you to an extent despite everything I said. Hopefully season 2 can resolve this in a satisfying way.
The reply ended being long again. Sorry about that.

I don’t know if I’m misreading it, but this is the first time we’ve heard Ines say she “loves” carcel right? Before she would simply say she liked or really cared for him? I’m not sure if Ines realizes the depths of her feelings already or if it’s something she unconsciously stated in her mind and will realize later.

So they’re confirming the prince’s goal is to kill Carcel and make Ines his mistress once he’s married to his current fiancé? That would track with Carcel concluding they’re aiming to kill only him and not Ines in the previous chapters.

I think the whole thing was that the crown prince was getting married solely to gain the ability to take Ines in as an official mistress once she becomes a widow. Since they also mention that the crown prince cannot take in an official mistress unless he's married. So it's implying the crown prince started plotting ways to take in Ines as a mistress once he failed to stop Carcel from marrying her with his abuse and became unable to legitimately marry her.

The prince’s goal is definitely to kill Carcel. There’s the added layer that Ines is an Escalante now and his mother, the empress, is an Escalante. He probably believes it gives him an advantage since she’s technically no longer a Valeztena. Obviously he’s deluding himself because Carcel’s father would never allow it.

Carcel’s father is the head of the Escalante family. He would never allow such a thing. The empress also relies on her brother to support her and so does Oscar. He’s the one who actually props up Oscar. Therefore, he also has power especially when Oscar’s father, the emperor, often threatens not to pass the throne to him. In any case, Carcel’s father would not agree and Ines’s father, who is an unconventional and wild man, would oppose the crown prince as well. On his own, Ines’s father doesn’t even like the royal family and he’s not a political supporter of the royal family like the Escalantes. That’s the case in every timeline. He only allowed Ines to marry the royal family because she’s the one who chose Oscar herself.

I feel like people are slightly overreacting in regards to the ml. Don’t get me wrong, he’s obviously not a “green flag” but comparing him to other actual red flag mls like jinx feels like people are overblowing it. I also don’t get the argument that he’s taking advantage of the mc’s feelings because the ml made it clear that this isn’t that type of relationship and that if he wanted that then they can’t see each other. The mc was the one who agreed to it cause he liked him so much.
I would argue the ml is in a weird in between where he’s occasionally in red flag territory and sometimes back to a yellow flag. He’s definitely not a “good” person but I don’t think he’s as bad as some of you guys make him out to be.
While I love both this story and seasons of blossom, I like the structure of seasons of blossom better. While it also focused on many characters and relationships at once, there was an obvious main couple for every arc/ season that took the most focus, which allowed you to really immerse yourself with those characters. In seasons of love, I feel like the main couples progression has been kind of choppy due to the amount of times we keep switching to different couples. It feels like we can’t even get one chapter of just them. The season’s finale is coming up and it feels like we’ve shifted focus to another couple once again lol. While the main couple still has not progressed much.
I still like both stories a lot though. I just prefer the flow of the previous story. I feel like it was more focused on one plot line every season.
kinda reminds me of bridgerton s3,, it didn’t really reach the same hype as the first two seasons cuz there was just sm going on (so many side couples and stories),, I love this story too but I wish we can focus more on the main couple and Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
Exactly like more charcaters keep showing up, more couples are happening to the point where u can't immerse yourself in any of them cuz u get crumbs from everywhere all at once, the last seasons of blossoms structure was much better, this feels like a total mess
