Mainly because while there were issues with whether San would ever be able to forgive the sins of Rin's family, Rin himself is the emotionally healthier fit. My heart felt real heavy at the thought she would end up with someone who would willingly put her in a glorified bird cage and tell her the only way his friend lives is if she forgets her feelings for him.

To all who liked the crown prince: i see why, and I did feel for him and his overwhelming love for her too. I'm just glad it didn't end up being them too together, because that's a toxic relationship that would have needed a lot more EPs to solve, holy heck

controversial opinion but I'm glad she ended up with that guy 😳

Thanks for the kind words! I wasn't really expecting people to actually read through it, but I'm happy that you (and some others, it seems) enjoyed the post nontheless. :>

While i shouldn't say that this type of redemption is uncommon in dramas, I did not expect this drama to handle this as delicately as they did.
Maybe my view is skewed because I don't usually watch mistaken spouses as a trope and up until about the last part with fiery, I took this as mostly comedy only, but the reconciliation is beautifully done.

I'm not really able to put it into words, but it's great to see that both sides of the trauma were acknowledged. Emporer Tun who slowly was led to believe his daughter might be the harbinger of evil finally recognises just how wrong his treatment of her was. He isn't painted as evil as it mostly came from conflicting interests of the nation and well, belief. But he wasn't just absolved of the guilt either.

Likewise, Yetan isn't just told what's happened and swallows it, pretending like nothing happened. She initially doesn't believe her father and reality only sets in for her when she looks at the presents. While it wasn't a great amount of time, it was nice to see that she actually processes the situation and emotions. At the same time, we see that Yetan herself was showing harmful behaviours — it wasn't handled the best by the dad, ofc, but this portrayal feels a lot better than if Yetan had been shown as a guilt free lamb offered up as sacrifice with no fault of her own.

My somewhat random summary of the scenes probably is a bit out if place in the usual discussion. I just wanted to vent my pleasant surprise at the way the trauma in that relationship was handled.

I don't usually actively participate in community discussion (and use this app more to keep track of watchlists and have watched) but as I'm currently watching ep 32, the development in the father-daughter-relationship between Emporer Tun and Yetan very pleasantly surprised me.

edit: the spoiler is fairly minor in regards to the whole, but spoiler nontheless. My comment doesn't really contain more than a random summary and appreciation of the portrayal 🫠
