Was this explained yet?? So like, is she in the past or some alternate world?
So she's getting teas from these kingdoms in the east that share the same culture as countries in our world. Like okay, sure no problem. My issue is, why are the teas all named the same? Like Earl Grey was legit a blend named after a British dude. So what's the deal in their world? Does he exist there? If so, then he's technically a westerner and introduced tea way before Chloe should have. Assam and Darjeeling tea is named after locations in India where the tea is grown. Like sure their world has an alternate kingdom that mirrors India but isn't actually India, this is a geography thing not a culture thing.

I think when Chloe introduced the earl grey tea she kept the name she knew since I don't think there was an equivalent name for it. Also while it may seem forced, I think it's just so we can identify what she's talking about. It'd be a pain to rename all the teas and then expect us to remember the translations.

This is the worst love triangle ever...
Gyu tae's a total jerk to everyone. He also isn't scared to say what's on his mind, but he delivers it in such an aggressive way that it instigates fights. Like wtf is his problem. At least now he's trying to be nice to Jeonghan & let's be honest Gyutae supported Jeonghan in a lot of situations where Kangwoo wouldn't, but he's still a piece of crap that I'd never want to meet in real life. He's just so mean.
Kangwoo also sucks as a person. I understand keeping your relationship secret cause it's taboo in their society. But for uke to have never heard "I love you" even when they're alone together... I get why he left/cheated. Kangwoo would have never supported Jaeonghan with his family stuff. And these recent chapters with Jeonghan mending the relationship with his family was nice to see, cause it was clearly something that really mattered to him.
Jeonghan is also annoying af. He's a working adult, yet communicates like a toddler who accidentally took a poop between the sofa cushions in the living room and is suddenly mute cause he doesn't want to face the consequences. LEARN TO COMMUNICATE!! And if Kangwoo clearly isn't supporting you the way you want, break up with him! You don't have to cheat! Just end things nicely, but then again that involves talking which Jeonghan is incapable of doing
I still don't like him. Okay sure, he had a messed up past... but he doesn't try to better himself. Instead how dare he try to recreate the same scenario. Both empresses couldn't have children (Patrizia is CHOSEN because she can't have children. IMO that makes him worse than Rosemund). Both emperors decided to mess around with a mistress. We don't know old empress' side of the story, so imagine if Lucio's mom acted just like Rosemond. It's no excuse to go psycho, but I get where she's coming from. And now we have new empress who legit has no idea what she got herself into and just wants to protect her family. Lucio needs to stop projecting that whole scenario with the old empress onto Patrizia. Girl just wants to liiiive!!!
