i thought akira was at least 18 now but since he said that the tutor was 23 and i think hes now a sophomore in high school it means hes 16-17 now which is definitely not yet a person who has his frontal lobe fully developed yikes and thinking that kanda proposed a sexual relationship and went after him since middle school?? that means he was probably in the last year of being in middle school during that which made him 14-15 like hes still a very easily manipulated child on top of having problems with his sexuality 😟 the tutor/kanda clearly knows that their relationship shouldn't be found out too since he's convincing akira not to tell kanata so "he doesnt get hurt" as an excuse like cmon now... you're out here in a full on suit and tie having sex with someone in a school uniform for years... he has made akira dependent on him emotionally by "being there" for him since akira's brother is straight (which he doesn't even know that kanda likes his bro)... this is definitely a case of grooming and being a pedo. akira knows that this relationship he has with kanda is also wrong thats why he's hiding it from people he knows and saw them together.

dont think you saw my edit as i said it was clearly a emergency meeting the day after bc the tabloids posted those pics of them kissing late at night... realistically he would not have time to meet her and discuss this... i work in marketing and a "scandal" like that you need to have a meeting first thing asap. the topic is also not something you can bring up over the phone with her. you're forgetting that the prime minister (goverment employee basically) works the standard office hours so like a 9am-5pm? he has to get ready for the meeting before that so its not possible. also shouldn't you also question ian in his choice to not tell her anything about the meeting before he went there? he was the one who kissed her after all and basically did it for the cameras as what he told her

he cant really ask her while the meeting is going on though and it looks like it was a emergency meeting due to the scandal... what he suggested is actually the best compared to the others who just say that they should break up though i dont think he's that evil that he would sabotage their relationship if he sees that they really like/love eachother tho? he seems to be more on the side of prince ian than the queen especially when he took care of the fire accident so ian and huiju would not be blamed... him asking huiju to marry him may be his way to protect her and also fulfill her objective of moving up in reputation as for sure the queen mother will blame huiju in trying to harm the king so she cant marry prince ian

the epilogue part with the prince wearing the jersey to bed and being all smiley while sleeping?? im sorry sunjae is that you? 😆

as a prime minister i don't think he can just talk about what he does or decides at work with huiju especially? pretty sure they take some oath or have a contract that they must keep state matters confidential from others not part of the cabinet or royal family

that part looks to be cgi

the over the wall kiss was spoiled already by wooseok himself in that salon drip interview that i immediately knew this was the scene he was talking about where they kissed countless times 🫣 but this still got me squealing and kicking my feet fr AHHHH the chemistry is insane already

kissasian

in ep 2, she basically did with that fire

it will happen early if the prime minister allows it because royals cant get married unless the cabinet approves apparently and based from the teasers and today's eps, the prime minister is in love with huiju and the queen tells him in the teaser to stop the marriage from happening

yes lol up & down by exid immediately played in my head when that scene came up

lol dont mind them they're just misogynistic/homophobic bc she seems to be either a tomboy/lesbian to me with how she acts and is styled tbh and i love it

he cant be king especially with how his older brother already had a son that time and the only way he can be one is if his nephew dies early or abdicates

dont think he had an interest in her? as for the queen, she seems only there for power and nothing else since i guess she is being pushed by her father to continue the honor of having queens in their family

thats how it works for monarchy since his father died early, he's automatically king

not his fault he's in his 30s with the looks that could still play a college student 💀 also the same could be said for the queen mother bc she literally looks like the same age as him but already has a son whos 8 years old

byeon wooseok's first scene being him showering and basically naked 🫪 they know the audience too well lol

LOL he's always the bad guy in these dramas

fr he could play a college student and still be believable

the nc scene was so underwhelming too lol
