but on another note !!! appreciation post for the high priestess gone but never forgotten, the true MVP along with jeokyeon and the other women here
i love her character so much and i love this story with its portrayal of women LIKEEEEE this is how you write women !!! this is how you write about women's passion, struggles, and even malice !!! majority of manhwas will always depict a stereotypical, exaggerated caricature of women, tending to be misogynistic even if the focus is supposedly on them. not only that, their relationship with other women is almost always bad; always pitting women against women and that's what always sticks w the audience, which irritates me the most. other stories will have the audience calling female characters easily w sexualized insults like bitch, slut, whore. BUT THIS STORY BRO !!!
this story actually characterizes women with REAL personalities. it tackles so much about women's struggles and understands it deeply. LIKE, the writers knew what they were doing and they gave huge effort to not only contextualize it, but also to resolve it properly. the male characters are also not misogynistic for the sake of it; like they're also infused w personalities that make them have an interesting growth and a proper character development that follows the intention of the story.
huge props to the author, artists, and translators sm
