bruh the way he acts and treats her, like... and the age gap.. everything feels a lil questionable. she is about 18 and he's 27, he is extremely possessive and rather than caring for her wellbeing, he just wants to fulfill his desire to possess her. it's not love, it's more like an unhealthy obsession for both parties involved. One could argue that in this type of patriarchal society where women are meant to be obedient and silently take what is given to them, he is like an angel to her, but we shouldn't let our standard become so low to appreciate basic human decency. he's forceful, but not to the degree it's rape or anything like that. anyway idrc cause this is fiction and tagged smut for a reason so expectations shouldnt be too high. lmao anyway just wanted to voice the thoughts i had in my head as i read this

i feel like i think differently than most of this comment section but does hee-won even wanna marry him? he's making rash decisions and creating lies while she is just unsure of how this will all turn out.. i know that this manhwa will probably carry on like lies and trying to make chemistry and then love, as all manhwas do, but i just feel so bad for her..

I get what you are saying.. but I don't think he made the decision rashly.....especially since he has been thinking about marrying her.....and honestly we cant ignore the fact that he basically just defended her too.....and although is is presenting himself strongly....he hasn't done it aggressively yet....so it means that she can reject it if she wants.....but it would be wise for her to actually think about it...and her child's future, but then again I understand her background. And I really like this development honestly....I would have actually questioned him if he had given up since day one about taking responsibility as a parent, but you can tell he is serious and dedicated. I don't think if I was a guy I would be able to just ignore the fact I have a child somewhere like that.

Plus she didn't want him in the baby's life at first which would've ultimately resulted in her losing her job and the baby losing its father. That isn't good for either party. So many people are single parents because the other half isn't willing to pick up the slack. She should be counting her blessings.

Lol I don't agree with the counting your blessings thing but guys MARRIAGE IS A CHOICE and luckily divorce in Korea is legal unlike some country I might hail from lol. So currently nothing is being forced yet. They're not yet married and this girl just has to be clear and say what she wants. This dude has been just the most akward yet accommodating dude. I'm not saying the girl is at fault. In fact this manhwa is a refreshing take on unplanned pregnancies (tho still problematic on some fronts) and it just shows how we have to deal with consequences amd develop our characters to face the problems. I'm sure our girl will be able to do that despite her upbringing.

I think she’s just scared cuz of her childhood. Like when she found out she was pregnant she went to her mother & some phrases that stuck with me are “not every can accept a pregnancy they didn’t want” or “she was forced to get married cuz of her”. I think she feels the same thing is gonna happen to her cuz her situation is the same. Her parents marriage was a “failure”. She was clearly attracted to him to hook up & she’s open to trying it out, but I think the number 1 thing holding her back is that fear.

Yeah that's true.....and I feel like that's the reason she is also not fully pushing him away and actually going along with what he says.....I feel like she unconsciously looking for some kind of assurance ...and isn't sure yet what direction to move....I could be wrong but that's how it seems to me

for this, i understand where you're coming from but the thing is, to me at least, it felt very forced... I'm super glad he has taken proper responsibility, but the thing is he announced they were getting married and she did not even say yes to the proposal first. Yea, HE** was thinking about it, she was still contemplating. I still believe it was extremely rash considering when he did ask for her input, she did not give him a solid answer. She can still definitely reject him, but the lie he created will make it harder for her. Her child can still have a wonderful future, so many kids are with single parents and theyre doing wonderfully. That's just my take on it. Even if he defended her, that should be expected of him. We shouldn't praise him for doing the bare minimum and we also shouldn't praise him for doing wayyyy too much in reference to announcing the marriage she didnt agree upon.

When i said my original comment i meant he put A LOT of pressure on her. Of course she can decline, but she'd have to deal with the consequences of his lie. The girl was actually rather clear when he brought up marriage and she said she needed time. She has been putting in just as much effort by attending all of their "dates" and trying to get closer. He rushed her and I just don't appreciate that.
i hate the ml. literally he pisses me off so fucking much. I'm not too sure about the politics and if the FL forced??? the ml to marry her or something but even if he was put into a political marriage that's most nobles. how hard is it to be DECENT, have RESPECT, for your poor wife. Honestly the fact that he likes her NOW is even more revolting because what about when she actually needed someone to be there for her? When she was alone, suffering most likely through depression, anxiety, and postpartum. You took away her child. that's just so fucking messed up. Her childhood too, blamed and hated. she was ... abused both physically and mentally and cuz of this she became traumatized. that's why your words mattered so much to her. honestly i dont really understand how the authors of these manwhas always somehow manage to excuse the ML's bad behavior, whether it be by misunderstanding or other stuff. he was bad, he didn't even apologize to his own wife when she died. where was he? yea sorry i cant get into him, i love the FL <3
read some spoilers... even if it was for the sake of elle, she was still his mother. Where is a doctor... where is her comfort... closure.. anything? He let misunderstandings arise. i hate this dude
