Kate

they more or less established he did like her before the marriage tho,... in episode 2.

Also who talk to u when u can't sleep at midnight 🤣 < mood 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yeah... there are different ways of thinking, not everyone has a linguistic one.

yeah same... my brain does not shut up 🤡

another random question, this time to people without internal monologue.
When the FL talks to herself in her head, did you assume it's an artistic way to give her "a voice" in the show, or did you know some people have internal monologue in their heads? (I know some people don't know it, so I always thought it was fascinating topic).

i wrote 540 reviews, after that I hoped I would write cohesive sentences hahaha

yes. He was supposed to marry the oldest daughter, but she did not want to. So she threatened Sa Eon that if he does not cancel the wedding that was supposed to happen next day, she will come clean with all the dirt she has on his family. After he confirmed Hui Ju was supposed to marry a trash of a man, he suggested switching the brides, it was a way to keep the other sister happy and Hui Ju safe.

right after bed? That's even more crazy hahaha

sure... but girl did not even brush her hair... wild for her to put on these shoes 🤣

if girl likes them heels, she can wear them, bit putting them on first thing in the morning is just... a choice 🙂

i heard the click clack sound and I was like: there is no fucking way 🤣🤣🤣

wearing shoes at home is one thing (prevalent in some cultures), but wearing fucking heels right after you woke up, before you even brush your hair? That's psychopathic lol

random, but can we also talk about the fact Hui Ju is wearing heels in the house... in her pajamas? 🤣
I think that was the most surprising part for me so far

Hell is open and accepts new members :) I'm giving cookies at the entrance hahaha

rewatching episodes right now! Like damn... why is this so addicting? 😭😭😭
I have so many dramas to watch and I can focus on exactly zero of them coz my mind keeps coming back to this.

i volunteer as tribute 🤣

Forgive me Daddy for I was naughty.
Dignity? Don't know her.
I'm on an highway to hell.

Feminism? Who needs it? Not me apparently 🤡
My brain is a jelly right now.
No thoughts left.

Yoo Yeon Seok giving angry possessive daddy is not something I was prepared for, but even if I R.I.P while watching, I won't regret it.

ps. for anyone pressed, this is obviously a hyperbolic statement

Pretty sure he had feelings for her before their marriage. That's why when he found out she is supposed to marry some trash dude, he decided to switch the brides.

I think he knows she does not want to have anything to do with politics and does not want to be used, that's why he makes sure she is not known to public and drew a clear line during that dance. Also, I am sure he never even assumed she has feelings for him, I think he assumed she is just doing whatever her mother tells her to do and he does not want her to force any actions she is not willing to make herself. So he is keeping her on the arm length. When they get divorce after election, she can start over without any emotional baggage. I'd assume that was his plan.

based on nami wiki, the writer is Lee Jeong-shin. Might be their first drama, since even on namu they do not have their own page yet.

Some of my favorite quotes from the first half of the show 🥰

✒️ "You are not manly. You're not active. You're timid. You won't have any friends. You can't even work with other people." Because of people like you who try to mould people's personalities to fit your needs, many conceal their true selves like sinners. Everyone is different! And that's normal. Why do you always make me compare myself to others for being different?

✒️ I know you're trying, but... you're trying way too hard. You treat your job like your entire life, don't you? And you try to help others with everything. You were in the special forces, so you'll try to protect your employer like they're your country. Don't do that. It'll only eat away at you without you even realizing it. I told you. You're not okay. Feelings don't vanish on their own. They'll keep piling up like this. They'll fester and eventually explode. Should I tell you what would happen after that?

✒️ You should... breathe. You're too worked up right now. We can't talk when you're like that.

✒️Telling others to just let out their anger and let it go... could make some people uncomfortable. Some people can express their anger and let it go, but there are also people who really struggle to return to their daily life when they let themselves be angry. And for some people, that's more painful.

✒️ He wanted me to climb as high as I could no matter what I did, and he wanted me to be the center of it all. But in reality, I was like a solitary island. I isolated myself because I couldn't even be normal, like a strange solitary island."

✒️ You're not weird. It just means you are a kind person. Being kind isn't an easy feat. Your willingness to help others knowing your kindness wouldn't be reciprocated... Not everyone can do that.

✒️ I just hated losing. Not the fact that I lost. I hate letting others find out that I was sad about it. It made me feel like a real loser. So I was always like "Okay, it's totally fine." I always told myself that.

✒️ To me a promise is how I get close to someone. Being on time. Not going against my word. Sticking to the basics is how I show my respect. "I want you to like me and I want us to get close". To me, it's a proposal of sorts.

✒️ I hate being compared. But truthfully, I compare myself to others the most. Because I can't accept the fact that I'm jealous, I hate myself.

✒️ I don't hold back, when I'm certain about something.
