right, it's not easy for them. do you have any recommendations?

i know. i don't question her character at all here. i understand her. i was just talking about the divorce as user @roddib said the cultural situation during that era.

oh my! that can also work. i'm sure is he's given the role, he can nail it. he's such a versatile actor.

Interesting.

Based on your description maybe that's why gilchae gave him a reason when she said she gave her heart to ljh. It's not for humiliated by the intruders but for adultery.

Maybe she divorced him was just between the two of them. On paper, he should be the one filed for it.

Btw it's a good article to help understanding more about context, thanks for sharing.

This is so ironic looking at your username happyendingguy 😭 /jk

Disclaimer: this is not coming only from my delulu braincells but I think they'll have an open ending. The inspired novel has 'After all, tomorrow is another day' as the last line and none of them die. It indicates a hope. Of course small changes can happen but I'm manifesting their fate won't be that different 😭

That fox teacher plays a dirty move trying to pursue the math teacher. But I love that our ML can go dirtier than her 😭😂 Him trying to persuade the FL is so kyawt please 😭

The king is so unserious sometimes 😭😂

This is actually very enjoyable if you aren't expecting too much. It's light and fun.

"I accept that you have someone else in your heart."

Guess the gentleman who said that?!

If you can tolerate his character that much I wonder why you can't understand why she did what she did. ? That's a big question mark right there.

I get that emotionally cheating is cheating too. But please take a note that she was cheating after she learned the fact that his husband abandoned her, not before that.

She was very adamant and ready to die rather than asked jang hyun for a help. She insisted asking a help to her husband dispite her helpless situation. She wrote a letter with her own blood hoping it would reach out to him and he'd come to help her. She asked the slave seller to inform her husband. She was very loyal until that seller told her that her husband came but decided to give up on her. That was like a slap on her face.

"She cheated on him before knowing for real if he abandoned her..." with the same logic, he abandoned her without confirmed it himself whether she was really tainted or somehow she managed to protect her chastity. He had a chance to take his money back from the thieves but he let them go assumed the worst happened to gil chae.

But she was still doing her duty as a good wife until her husband abandoned her. He was the first who walked away from her and not the other way around. And when she met lee jang hyun and aware that he sacrificed everything for her, there was nothing to hold her back anymore.

And if a married woman pursuing another man is cheating, I wonder what would you say about her husband? I know the fact that according to their culture a married man can have another wife in sEcReT.

And if you noticed, she didn't address about him having another woman as one of the excuses to the divorce. She acknowledged her mistake. And she said sorry for that. She was the one taking the blame. But did her husband said anything about it? If we gonna talk about moral, that alone said something about their morals.

I don't forget that she's cheating. And cheating is never morally accepted. I acknowledge that she was wrong about that, and even gil chae admitted her wrong doing. But this is not that situation when you should judge her character to this extent and spreading the same narratives over and over.

Correction: if you can judge her character to this extent why not having the same energy to judge her husband and said something about it?

What's being immoral of two brothers helping a woman? So far there's no romance tag in this drama. And if they will have a love triangle, what's being immoral about that? They don't cross any boundary just because they like the same woman. We can talk about moral if the brothers marrying her at the same time line.

I've watched many of chae jeong hyeop's previous works but why did I just notice that he has such a nice voice?

That's the spirit we need 😭

Why did I immediately cry when he put her shoes on 😭

That scene made me believe that bo geol is ki ho 😭 "Let's buy a pair of shoes when we're ashore" that's the clue.

And the way he insisted his brother wasn't ki ho, it sounded like he was telling the truth. Because ki ho is himself.

Btw I seriously surprised when I heard bo geol called woo hak as hyung. I thought I misheard it 😭 Because woo hak looked like the lil bro 😭

Did they legally change bo geol's identity including age so his father couldn't find him? It sounded like ki ho's plan. And he had to remember it to do that.

And I don't think bo geol came up with the idea to bring ran joo to their program just because he coincidentally heard his brother mentioned her name.

She was in part 1, gil chae threw a pillow at her because she kept mocking gc that young master younjun visited the village for eun ae.

And there was a scene where the sister heard gil chae said to her sick father that she wanted to take care the family, stuffed her sister with luxury before marrying off or something like that.

It was the scene before gil chae getting married.

I think it's going to be an open ending if they follow the inspired source. It's not gonna be a sad ending or it would be depend on our interpretation about it.

I can even see the potential of an alternative happy ending.

That's what I thought too. Thanks for adding more context.

I'm glad it's the same swear like when I said I would never eat with sambal again.

It can be a mistranslation. When they talked about chastity I didn't immediately thought of virginity. In my opinion it was more like an honor as a woman. Because when they said about chastity, it didn't apply only to the maidens and gil chae. Some of the captives are married women too.

But I'd love to hear from them who understand korean too.

I felt a pang on my chest whenever they said 'if the crown prince succeeds the throne...' when we know what they will write in history about him.
