Whenever Joy gets forceful I feel a bit iffy like, woah, he's an abuse victim, chill out a little, but I also know theyre mutually into each other, and I get the sentiment behind what joy's saying

Well, I don’t really see it as force! It’s been so many times and almost very close to where shin was gonna shut out joy, but he couldn’t..I think joy is like you won’t tell me out and i need to know in order to protect you, but it’s also I can’t tell you because I don’t want my dad to hurt you too..like I see both sides but ugh idk

Im not sure why but I had this strange expectation that shihyuk(pervy actor man) and Mr Yoon would end up together. Im surprised by how melancholy things were for Yoon, he really drew the short straw, losing the man he loved, being forced into a mental ward, and then getting out, only to remain with an insanely possessive woman who threatened to kill someone because he didnt like her on multiple occasions. I definitely feel the worst for him. Yul and Soohan were cute by the end at least, happy together, Yoon deserved a similarly happy ending :(

why is the illegitimate daughter treated so much better than our fl? Arent they both illegitimate?

According to the translated chapter in the novel, it was once mentioned that Niveah's mother was a maid (blackmailed the father to marry her). Rubiel's mom is a noblewoman. That is why even if she was illegitimate, unlike the Niveah whose mom was a commoner, Rubiel was far more favored by the father.

Not everything has to be related to her being a chef-her cooking talent was just what makes her stand out, and is one of her talents. Its isekai, not food wars.

I find it refreshing! Not everything needs to be about poison and pain but about what you are passionate about in life. I'd almost rather this was just cute food fluff but am also enjoying she didn't forget she was transmoged (like suddenly I was a princess and how it's never bright up again really)

Oh I understood your point and was just chiming in with why I appreciate the difference Neither of us are 'wrong', and I didn't mean to imply that. I do think tea, and her ability to calmly have clear communication and collaboration, could save the world lol It's more the calm clear communication and collaboration.
And your play on words: .
YOOOO arch better be a love interest too!!!
