Disguised Misogyny
Someone might think I'm crazy for this claim but bear with me. The FL was in enemy territory and she wanted to save her home too which is absolutely fair but the ML would get mad at her for thinking of her people and would have to be put some sense into him by his grandmother and others. Reverse the roles, if he would have done something for his home and people while staying at her kingdom he would have thought of himself clever, and I don't even think the FL would reprimand him because IT'S FAIR since they were enemies to begin with.
I actually paused this drama for a while because I just couldn't get past his foolishness and anger issues. The one incident I remember very clearly is the one I watched rn; neighbouring states attacked and he found out she had secret tunnel or escape route made and he got mad at her for that. No secure and confident man would have got mad at her for thinking of her safety and the safety of her people. Instead she had to go out of her way to make him understand that she's still on his side and that what happened before was different from the present. Anybody mature would have understood that without having her to risk her life. Yes, it did help in the war but she was doing that thinking he doesn't trust her instead but if he had shown that he did trust her she would have still done it as her duty as a queen.
Also, even though the FL was clever and smart in her own right, all her ambitions were shifted to her trying to uplift her husband instead. Like a good little wife men expect women to be. That was clear subordination of her to the ML. She started talking about family and kids and stuff even though her home still wasn't completely secure which was so uncharacteristic of her.
He can do whatever he wants and she'll praise him or try to understand him but even when she does valid things he gets mad and sulks around. Lmao why is this drama so hyped up. Did people watch this with their minds turned off?
It also dragged so bad. I saw everyone saying it's a perfect enemies to lovers while they legit started feeling for each other very soon and were all lovey dovey all the time. And once they got together it was all melodrama from one scheming woman to another. What is even good about this show? Nobody can convince me otherwise.
