"What on earth is affection? I ask the world. And I will answer… That which makes us unhesitatingly grant life and death to each other. That is what affection is".
Hey Guys!! I wrote this on my phone first so I'll just list my points
1) Soo Yang (Se Ryong/main girl's father) is one manipulative ass motherfucker. Like, he knew all the right things to say to get under people's skin/ control their actions
2) I initially liked him because even though he was an evil, disloyal SOB, he was still a good father. I found that kind of interesting
3) One thing I found super refreshing was the fact that although princess Kyunghye had the "kind" father she wasn't the "kind' one and Se Ryong was the "kind" one but she but she got the evil father. I found this refreshing because usually the good girl/main character usually comes from the family of good and honest people but in Se Ryong's case it was different. Everything wasn't so black and white and I liked that.
4)When I started the drama I expected princess Kyunghye to be problem and a stone cold bitch. In my mind I already was like "okay, she's gonna be super mean to Se Ryong and try to sabotage her relationship with Seung Yoo" but she turned out different. That definitely surprised me.
5) Myeon... Myeon.
I really wanted to strangle Myeon so much!! He's one character I expected to remain good and honest but clearly the writers enjoy blowing my expectations. He was so consumed with jealousy and that whole "filial piety" nonsense. Like, he was on that " if my family becomes evil, so must I" shit. I think in a way he admired Se Ryong because she just gave no fucks and most importantly she didn't feel obligated to follow her dad's evil ways or even turn a blind eye to the stuff he did. She called him out constantly! She was strong and brave and Myeon was weak sauce and a push over.
6) Now, when it comes to the romance aspect, I think Se Ryong and Seung Yoo had one of the most believable kdrama relationships ever. Their love was palpable, Their kisses were authentic and their words sounded genuine. It was one of those kdrama relationships that makes you go "ahhh I want a love like this" or "wow, true love really is unbreakable". Corny shit like that.
Yeah... lets just bask in their love for a second..
