Can someone please explain the set up to me, because it is not making any sense. Okay, so FL is illegitimate,…
“Why does the FL care about status if she’s already financially well off?” — I think it’s because one tends to want what they couldn’t have or were told not to have. She grew up with the “illegitimate” tag, and that’s probably her sole weak point. So even though she’s well off, she still wants status as well.
“Why does the regent’s marriage have anything to do with the regency?” — I believe it’s because once he’s married, his children “could” become rivals for the throne. He could also be seen as a power-hungry regent, especially if he marries into a big family, which goes against the propriety expected of a regent.
“Why is the PM considered the next regent after the Grand Prince, not the Queen Dowager?” — I’m not entirely sure, but I assume it’s just how their succession laws or constitutional setup works.
“If the FL is illegitimate, would she be barred from marrying into royalty?” — Since it’s a constitutional monarchy, they can’t really enforce such restrictive rules, it would go against modern ideas of equality. So status has more social meaning than real political or legal impact.
I'm laughing my ass off; it's been a long time since I watched a non-serious drama. I like it even though it has…
Could you tell me if the marriage is supposed to happen in early part of the drama or later part? According to synopsis, I’m expecting it to happen early, but asking you to verify it. Thank you in advance.
The MDL countdown stops on the final airing day, so that’s no surprise, as it is the last day, after all. As for the news article, I have my doubts. It seems to refer only to the first 20 episodes rather than the entire series. In any case, I just hope they don’t leave the relationship in a muddle.
From what I understand, under Chinese judicial ethics and recusal rules, a judge’s close family members usually can’t practise as lawyers in the same court and that court’s territorial jurisdiction where the judge works, just to avoid any conflict of interest. So if he moves to a High Court, her ability to practise law in that province would get pretty restricted. That’s why they broke up, she didn’t want to give up her career, and he didn’t want to stop aiming higher. Even if he did, he worried it might feel like a ‘sacrifice’ and end up affecting their relationship later. The same thing happened when the ML’s friend moved to the High Court. His fiancée felt like it would cost her the career she’d worked so hard for.
Me too. Then I checked the schedule again and it's tomorrow :-(
Expected brevity of the relationship makes me want to watch it after the drop of express than tonight. It feels disconcerting, as though a time bomb is ticking in the background even during the sweetest moments. ._.)
I expect them to be released tomorrow. The usual pattern is to drop a set of four episodes on the day when, following the regular release, four episodes would remain. So, fingers crossed.
Considering episodes 20-21 aired, you should refrain from not mentioning about future episodes, at least wait…
Why not? Episode 24’s preview has released and I’m talking and hypothesising based on that. It’s not like I have special access to future episodes or have read the novel.

This is just my take. I could very well be wrong.
