if it didn't have eggroll and rice cake boy as the main characters like literally the plot is so captivatingly melancholic because everyone around them is morally ambiguous with their own grievances and dreams. so much potential for tragedy to happen
but hilarious af how she literally just grabs the plot by the neck and says, 'nah this is an action romcom bitch ain't no one making me the victim'
ALSO can i just say i'm so frickin relieved rice cake boy catches on quick? one of my main worries is that we will go down the path of, "i suddenly discovered you were part of the group I didn't like! you must have done this intentionally to trick me and i won't let you explain nor investigate, bc i hate you now"
i'm glad he caught onto the body switching clues with the implication that this wasn't something eggroll specifically planned for and went about investigating who she had been first to tie up the clues. GO EMPEROR! DON'T DISAPPOINT US AND HURT HER WITH ASSUMPTIONS!!!!
