I just dont get Hui Ju's character
I feel like this show was trying to get me to sympathises with Huiju too much, like we were suppose to feel sorry for her getting called illegitimate and fully support her into climbing the ranks to princess, when she's already an elitist and definitely has enough money to secure a whole bloodline.
And yk that shot were she's asking her dad for like property to build her empire, it was one of those scenes where we should be sympathising with her cause she had to ask her dad to give same treatment to her like he does to his son, which is super sad, but Huiju never faced anything from this cause her dad ended up getting everything she asked for anyway. So she is an illegitimate child who is still a nepo baby.
So the show spends the first ep with like just a group of people talking shit about her cause she's illegitimate and that was the root cause the audience got for her trying to get with the prince to climb up the ranks.
My first problem with this is that she is isss soooo incredibly wealthy, successful influence boss babe that I personally don't think anyone in their right mind would think ah let me get with the prince so I'm not illegitimate anymore. Like I feel like she's smart enough to know that joining the royal family is not only less freedom but a hell lot of public scrutiny. In addition being a princess is a full time job, so there would be no way she could even be head of her company anyways.
The main guy as well kinda was there to live love and submit to the Huiju, like he's liked her from the start and would literally die for her already so the build up of the relationship was just one sided, which honestly I don't mind it but I feel like this really nerfed his character cause what do you mean bro skipped how many days of work to be with her, to then have his assistant to remind him of his job, then to not do said job again to hang out with her. This all is giving capitalism playground tbh.
And don't get me started with the monarchy system world building, like its futuristic so it cant be historically accurate, people hating is dumb. But I feel like there so much just used as plot device for romance instead of a naturally built world. Like where are the guards, why did the guards not check the Huiju's car before the little dude went in, how are reporters taking pics of people in the palace during night (where are the guards and if reporters can pull that an assassin can deffo), why are discussion rooms giving business meetings with shareholders, what is the parliament system like, what are actual royal protocals.
Overall, I think it was a very cool concept, like i like the idea of Huiju's character but idk why they wanna make us sympathise with her so much when she literally is a nepo baby and also the world building just pisses me off. I like the main guy but bro just did jack shit first 6 episodes I watched as his role of a prince.
