I kind of sympathize with Dowun

He’s distant and cold but idk his character is kind of hard to hate. He’s so straightforward about his intentions; I don’t think he intends on hurting the princess but he will her as a means to his goals like he told her he would. I don’t think it’s fair to hate him for that reason since they both agreed on it..

I’m also pretty sure he’s not jealous of the bodyguard but threatened by him. Until now Dowun was the closest to the queen but now there’s someone who can do for her what he never could; appeal to her emotions.

    Lmao of course I did but when you’re raised in an environment like that with a father like that, it isn’t surprising why he acts the way he does..
    He’s probably been taught to do anything for the success of his family no matter the cost. Of course that doesn’t excuse his actions but it’s pitiful

    Ofc not but it does make his situation a little more complex in my opinion because she was well aware of what she was signing up for...lol yeah it’s definitely an unpopular opinion~ but I think he’s an interesting antagonist nonetheless

    I disagree I find his character very easy to hate. it would be even easier if his character had been a female and they were acting this way. many of the characteristics he represents, ambition, manipulation, analytical are traits all frowned upon in woman after all. we put up with it because he's a man

    I don’t think so, atleast personally I think what upsets me the most about his character is the influence his family had on his decisions (which are still awful but hear me out) and the face that he never tried to appeal to her emotions backhandedly; my opinion would stand if he was a woman.

    Its just a theory but I think he doesn't want his brother involved in this whole mess. In the chapter he said the brother is impulsive, which means the survival in the castle will be troublesome for him. May be he did treated him bad in his childhood so that he would hate him or stop looking up to him like he used therefore not following his path of life. But, when I see that how he treated the princess then it is not possible that he was considerate of his brother.
    But, I am crying for MC. She feels alone. Specially when they all left after the meeting about baek han being a criminal for treason. She felt really lonely sitting on that throne alone.
