Just as ian said if huiju only wanted status why she didn't marry sml, because he also have that.
I am confused you wrote - "Huiju didn't want to marry him because she loves him. " So you meant she didn't want to marry him because she doesn't love him.
I saw the first episode, and the modern monarchy concept just feels corny. Constitutional monarchies exist, but…
Japan's crown princess got married in traditional clothing. I think it's a mistake to apply western monarachies to the East . Deeply rooted cultural rituals are still a big part of many countries in Asia.
Why would I be watching it, if I found it boring? I don't get the hate watch stuff. I have no time for that. Whether it's books or shows if I'm not into it - dropped like they never existed. It seems like a more useful approach than slogging thru. It's not like you get a trophy for finishing something .
I probably have cats on the brain as I've just lost mine but watching this series it struck me on the ML and how he is presented as someone who loves cats. . But he doesn't allow himself to have one. They are close but not allowed too close. And maybe I'm reading too much into it but isn't that his tragedy? He hasn't been allowed to have anyone or anything. And even as an adult hasn't let himself have something of his own. Which makes his interactions with the FL both awkward and stilted at times. Anyway I'm happy he and the FL are moving in the right direction but someone should get that boy a kitten.
