I like how you said "he doubled down on his shamelessness"π
Dude, his comebacks are hilarious! And that moment when he casually summons the "butler" guy to help him step out of the sedan chair? Pure elite level pettiness, like "Screw you, you don't know my limits, I'm limitless! "
You know what I really found refreshing about this show? The moment she didn't choose him, there was no dragged out angst or miscommunication arc. Instead, the ML had his private moment to process the hurt and vent, then doubled down with even more shamelessness π, he straight up refused to give up, like "nope, she promised to be with me," lol.
He might be a high officer but his family background is not good. He is the son of a servant as far as we know.
He was kind of sponsored by the rich family. The father saw a lot of potential in him. I also think there is more to the story .... Maybe he is an illegitimate son of the family.
I love the way his confidence slowly builds as the episodes go on. As his memories return, you can see him gradually slipping back into his old self, bit by bit. Experiences can really shape who someone is and how they act.
The male lead is so crafty, I love it. He reminds me of WWX from The Untamed. Playful on the surface, but the moment things turn serious, you realize just how dangerous he can be. It's going to go down when he finally regains all of his memories.
