Noooo he's so cut tho. I want him to stay that way lol.

On a more serious note, forget what he will or won't do, because in the end shj and ian will end up happily ever after so it won't matter in the long run.
My concern is that he is shj's only friend, aside from secretary Do, and is also friends with Ian, tho not as close. If he turns traitor then both the leads will have lost a friend and I just can't...

My stomach clenched when I saw that contract and I saw him put it into the safe.
My mind jumped right where yours did-to the the cliche discovery.

But then I saw what else he had buried in there and I reconsidered.
If one is revealed, then both will have to be. That might still happen. But I think it's less likely now.

omg????? HE KNEW????????

Ian!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't he say anything?????

What is going on????????

It'll be silly of him.
SHJ wants the marriage. For now she says its for material benefit but she'll eventually catch feelings, or recognize they're already there, thus making her want the marriage that much more.
Ian has overwhelming public love, and SHJ is popular too. Right now the press and public are fawning over this engagement, which the king has already approved.
If the pm vetoes it then he'll lose the friendship and support of both the prince and sjh, and there will be public backlash which might cost him his reelection in the future. A veto is a lose lose situation for him, imo.

He seems like a decent guy. I know there's a lot of speculation that he'll go dark, and maybe he will, but as of now I'm operating under the assumption that he's a man of his word unless I'm shown otherwise. Both the fl and ml consider him a friend, which speaks to his character.

I'm not gonna respond to op direclty bc I come here for funs not fights but seriously? Find me any one drama, movie, album, idol, actor, etc., which netizens DON'T find something to complain about? Seriously....its an olympic sport at this point.

omg???? where is this from? do we have any context at all??

Didn't pm already say he won't? Queen mom asked him to but he refused saying the king gave consent and the cabinet + crown must be united.
What am i missing?

Because the hate isn't logical.
This is a solid romcom comedy with perfect additions of drama and the serious. People are just mean...

lmaoooooooo

What??? pm is gonnna cross over to the dark side??

queen mom needs to get hers for sure.

about the pm tho, im conflicted there.
he befrended shj in an environment where she was immensly unpopular and hated and stood up for her when needed.
its very telling that she stayed close with him until today seen by the lunch he took her to in celebration of her royal award and in the fact that she calls him oppa and speaks informaly to him. they are genuniely close friends.

he is also on good terms with ian, as seen by their convo during ep one regarding the queen mother pressuring him to marry, and the epilogue convo at school. they seem like friends.

on the other hand, he does need to get on board with the wedding plans already....

we'll see how it goes.

while i don't have second lead syndrome here, he does come off a good guy and friend to them both so i hope to see him get his own happy ending.

it doesn't come off as rich people problems at all. for either of them. both are rich and come from so called privelaged backgrounds. but none of it has bought them peace, love, or happiness. it is a very human story about two humans who are in great pain despite all the trappings of money and prestige.

Ty so so much!!!! You are AMAZING!!!

Hi!! Thank you , as always, for the links :))

Was wondering if you know about a new release from Wang Nan? I came across a youtube short which, of course, didn't contain the title. His hair was cut very short which makes me think it's a either a new or prerelease. Seems to be a secret marriage arrangment. You can see the FL who is is wife show up for a job interview and he is one of interviewers. Secret marriage, successful husband, wife chasing success, jealousy and misunderstandings seem to be the themes. Any idea what drama it could be? Below is the youtube link.

It's quite telling that the bby king agreed for his uncle to marry despite mom shaking her head and staring him down. It's obvious he loves his uncle but I am genuinely worried how this will turn out for him once the inevitable final showdown for the crown happens. I know Ian will do his all to protect his nephew and he' s likely held on and put up with as much as he had for his nephew's sake. But I honestly don't see a way for the the boy king to back his uncle without being torn apart from guilt bc you know he'll feel it naturally on top of the garbage his mother and grandpa will be feeding him.

Nope just you

Ian and Shj are basically the same person.

Both suffered family rejection and were always made to feel less than, with those meant to protect them telling them to do less and be less bc they were only worth less.

The difference being royal status.
Ian had it, and, while it might have offered him some protection and comforts, it actually forced him to be the "less than" version of himself.

While Shj, without a royal cage, was able to tell everyone to F off and break convention and force the world to take notice.

They are the absolutely perfect pair.
They will love each other, heal each other, allow each other to become the full and best version of themselves and end up ruling imo.

Ty!!

OMGGGGGG THAT WAS SO PRECIOUS!!!!!
I'd have missed it if not for your comment.
Thank youuuuuuuu!
