A Painter Behind the Curtain
The Bondservant
They are toxic for each other. I don't mean they make each other miserable they just make each other worse. They are both obsessed and in terrible circumstances. The whole thing gives me an uneasy feeling but... I still... like it. It all feels tragic and doomed but they are both so totally wrapped up in each other. Also the lady who has been tricked by the evil older brother is so relatable too. She desperately wants to leave her family and she lets herself be tricked by the fantasy of finding her true love. Even the maid that is helping the older brother is so real for hating nobles and their petty worries. I want to see how it all plays out. How everyone ends up hurting each other and what kind of fate they will meet.
