in middle of ep 6 why is queen mother against the marriage so much ? what impact will it have on her ?
Queen Motherās ultimate goal has always been to make sure her son becomes a king and maintains his position as a king. But itās hard to do because heās so young and his uncle (ML) has to act as a regent and act as kingās replacement for many events (after all, the king is a kid). In theory, when ML marries, he moves out of the palace per their rules. And Queen Motherās original plan was to force ML to marry a quiet lady of average nobility, a person who can be controlled by Queen Mother and who could keep ML in check. But instead ML is marrying a commoner (against tradition), but ā even more importantly ā heās marrying a super rich & powerful person who can support him in attaining any of his goals⦠including becoming a king š (which he himself admitted he wants to do). The important thing to remember is that the royal family doesnāt have a lot of wealth (the state pays to support them), they just have prestige & status. So if FL decides to bankroll a grassroots campaign to make ML the king, Queen Mother wonāt be able to stop her.
The preview for ep. 6 is like a freaking Disney princess movie. That better not be a dream sequence!
To be fair, so far previews have been pretty honest and not misleading. Unlike many K-dramas where previews are just all misdirections or lies (thatās why I slip them normally).
Sheās doing a great job with her character. We obviously donāt like Queen Mother as a person, but the actress is doing a great job ā pretty much a historical drama character with all the scheming, bullying, hunger for status/power, etc.
Why are romcoms so uninspired recently š Bland comedy with bland script. I'll skip for Kim Bum...
This show is definitely a far cry from Perfect Crown that is airing right now too. Filing for Love is coming out tomorrow so that one might be good š
