Episode 3 lesson: Don't judge the book by its cover
- The ML being passionate and attacked the FL for her beliefs backfired. - But we also already knew where the ML was coming from which the FL and the rest of the team are unknowingly dismissing.
The moral lesson here is that: Don't judge the book by its cover.
Just because someone grew up with support and a loving family, it doesn't mean it was or is all bliss. They could be hiding something because they understand how society and the world is very judgemental if you are different.
It goes both ways. The ML grew up alone, struggled alone, came from nothing, without much support. Not because his words are like a two-edged sword does it mean he was coming from up high. His passion was simply coming from his own experience, and his view of the world is thus different.
In the end, Episode 3 showed us two sides of the same coin. On one side is someone who is passionate and is easily hurt because he lived through the pain and hardship. While on the other is someone who received love and support despite what the world through at her and her family.
Two characters who wants to uplift the plight of the marginalized but have different methods on how to achieve that goal because their life experiences were on complete opposites.
Episode 3 felt like it was written and/or directed by the someone from Extraordinary Attorney Woo. It was also in Episode 3 (IIRC) when they tackled how Autism is a spectrum, and they really dove deep into it.
Wow. Episode 3 was very touching. And if you're a PWD (Person With Disability), you can relate to the plot in ways most people won't be able to.
Like, I myself did ask G-d multiple times why I am not "normal". I cried about it. I thought of just ending my life multiple times throughout my life (and even did it a few times too). Why am I here? What is my worth to this world designed for people who are not like me?
Is the world really changíng for the better? When will PWDs like me experience this world, this society, that treats us equally and fairly? Where there are no discriminations, prejudices, and stereotypes?
I'm in my mid life and trust me when I say the future is only getting more darker for us. All these "I care" are lip service. Acting today, forgotten tomorrow.
So what do we do? We either end our life and not be a burden to society (no doubt they'll be very happy there's one less "sub-human"), or try to endure all the harshness and pain and just suck it all up.
Episode 3 resonated deeply that "normal" people will never truly understand unless they are a PWD or have a loved one who is a PWD.
I don't know if anyone else caught the beauty of Episode 12: The Lady in White
It explains why the Councillor is even more determined to kill the FL, why he suddenly started making mistakes, why he is wqsting time with the FL
It isn't just about getting his daughter to be the Crown Princess. There's no need to.kill the FL again because she was deposed and her new identity is only a concubine.
It wasn't because there was a king's order that wasn't fulfilled. It was technically fulfilled, he knew that, and thus cannot force the FL to die again — this is why a new Royal Decree was requested.
The real reason is this, and it is so freaking twisted:
The love of his life is alive but her brain was damaged. Seeing the FL come back alive and starting to regain her memories is a very strong punch to his face. Why is the love of his life forever damaged? Didn't she suffer enough for being accused falsely?
And so the Councillor started to make mistakes when the FL showed up. She is like a burning anvil being pressed on his being whenever he sees her.
P.s. No one is saying that his actions are justified. E12 was not about justifying his revenge plot. It was about The Lady in White and painful irony of her and the FL. Both died but one completely lost her wits and the other regained her memories.
I kinda wish Eunjin and Nam Goongmin to at least see each other (their characters obv)… but that’s a cameo…
I'm more like I hope they make a Season 2 haha. Those two are fun to watch together.

Re: cameo (just extra info)
The official definition of a cameo and a guest in the industry is: - Cameo: does not make any impact to the story, usually one scene only, and often as themselves (but unnamed characters are not uncommon), almost always an unpaid appearance, usually uncredited also - Guest: they make an impact in the story, they always play a fictional character (it's rare to see "as self" roles making an impact to the story), number of scenes is not important, usually paid unless the actors refused it or volunteered, can be credited depending on the agreement
Not sure. Aside from this, there are 2 others on-going shows set around 2020-2022. It seems that these were shows supposed to air in 2020-2022 bet were delayed for some reason.

Probably she was clinically dead for too long before they were able to revived her. And we know that it damages the brain if one is dead for too long.
