The king is supposed to be a Tyrant and he is not supposed to trust people easily but looking at how he is already…
It makes sense to me. He has a 'god tongue' which means he was constantly disappointed at every mealtime—until she arrived. And if she hadn't, he would no doubt be totally swayed by the Ming emissary's cooks' culinary superiority.
The guy is 16 yrs older than her why are people screaming for romance.
IRL young women go for older men ALL THE TIME. Unless a young man is handsome, tall, &/or rich he is at a disadvantage against older, more established men with attracting a female mate from his own age group.
I went into this blind, but now I cannot wait for next week. It gives me Leverage vibes, one of my families favorite…
FWIW, Leverage was never this cold—or when it was, it provided heart, growth & compassion to balance out the creepiness. Parker is an example of a sociopathic character who learned how to embrace her humanity & feelings, and forge genuine connections with others. I doubt Yun I Rang will do the same.
There should be a SPOILER ALERT warning at the top of this article. Details from episode 13 are discussed in this article while only 12 episodes have been made available to viewers.
There is an IRL inverse-correlation between very-high-IQ & very-low-EQ such that many brilliant people are cold & uncaring. This explains why so many tech companies actively seek to recruit them. It has been said that there is less than 1% difference between a sociopath and a successful CEO (or fixer).
But there also exists a percentage who choose use their smarts for good, despite their low-empathy. The phrase "Never underestimate the power of weaponized autism" applies to these individuals. They have cultivated a learned-empathy as a substitute for natural innate EQ.
I prefer shows which present the latter types as they confront trying to identify what it must be like for average humans (eg Leverage) and eschew the ones which merely focus on anti-heroes using their skills to take down other villains (Hustle, Confidence Man JP, and this.)
I think PMY is doing a terrific job with her performance which really does expand her range, but I am not finding any reason to care about her character or where this is going. Still, I hope the show does well. But I doubt I'll make it through to the end. Or even the next episode.
