the romance is angsty so you won't get much sweet moments and it's more of a push and pull between them. i'd say this is more of a political drama than a romance one, but there is tension between the leads and there are feelings involved.
Did you even watch it from the beginning? Both ML and FL knew each other ever since their childhood. They both…
the reason why i said "sudden" is because there's such a big time skip and they didn't even show how their relationship developed after the incident. when they met, you'd think yoo jung was only thankful for saving her and maybe kinda liked him bc he seems nice and they empathize with each other. but i wish they elaborated a bit more as to how she developed "love" for him. and i wouldn't necessarily call ml's feelings for her back when they were kids as "love". he met her only about 2 times if im not mistaken. the reason why he asked the king to make her his crown princess is possibly bc of infatuation mixed with her family background. maybe he liked her, but not love lol it's too deep of a feeling
the whole argument about lee tae's actions reminds me of the arguments during the red sleeve about yisan's actions. cmon i know this is fiction but it's still in a historical setting. you gotta consider the circumstances, the situations they had to go through and are still going through, the power imbalance between the characters, what they should do in order to survive, to what extent their actions should go in order to prevent a specific dynasty from ruling the nation, and a whole lot more.
if you're not willing to do all that, why are you watching a political sageuk??
Well i guess Yoo Jung doesn't want to be queen bec she doesn't know that LeeTae is the king.Maybe she wants to…
the synopsis in multiple news articles said "“Bloody Heart” is a fictional historical drama about the bloody political romance between Lee Tae (Lee Joon), a king who has to abandon the woman he loves to survive, and Yoo Jung (Kang Han Na), a woman who has to become the queen to survive." tho. but idk if it's inaccurate
what's good abt this is that it's fictional so i can hold on to a hope that it could be a happy ending HAHAHHAHAH unlike ehem that other one right there that made me cry buckets of tears right at new year. but if it's tragic then im so ready for the pain
i wonder what will induce yoo jung into wanting to be a queen and why being a queen will protect her. because so far i don't think she has any interest in it?? although a queen has power, being inside the palace would be much harder imo but since it's still ep 2, let's see if they'll give a good reason.
people who are annoyed bc of hari's reason for constantly rejecting taemoo just seem like they're not trying to understand at all. haven't you ever heard of cases wherein the girlfriend/boyfriend of a famous idol/actor has been bashed bc ppl thought the idol/actor is too good for them and that they don't suit each other bc of their differences in looks, popularity etc? you do not understand society at all. plus although many of us have fantasized about dating a rich handsome man with a high status, we know it's not gonna come true bc we have our insecurities and we think we don't deserve it (unless you're very confident that you'll get one). same case for hari, she is very insecure and she doesn't think she deserves to have a highly admired man.
idk why ppl keep comparing the two couples and wanting hatae to have a relationship as steamy as the second lead couple. they are very different ppl and have different types of relationship
if you're not willing to do all that, why are you watching a political sageuk??
