Alright just hear me out for this one... I think this story treated the mother's actions right and I say this as the kid of a woman who married someone she didn't want to and stayed married to him, it's a lot easier to think you would break a cycle then actually break a cycle. Like the fact that the margrave mentioned that it doesn't absolve her of blame for her actions feels like it's a good understanding of what the mother did and just kinda how these things happen im real life
She's also a victim of the situation and the systems in place made it hard for her to go against that. But she's complicit to all the things the dad did, she definitely could have fought harder to save the kids
And I guess I also wanted to say I love it when the horrible family is believably horrible and this is believable. Like he's not favoring one daughter because that's his favorite daughter, he's a horrible, money-hungry noble that only sees his daughters as things to be sold. I can get behind a plot that makes sense
Finally someone else with sense! XD
People really LOVE to disregard a person's struggle and their own issues just because they did wrong.
Newsflash: People can be a victim AND perpetrator at the same time. And it's fine to pity them for their problems and even forgive their actions due to it, if that is in the VICTIM's interest.
Especially for women in those times, you simply had no choice but to do as the men said, even your own son sometimes. And that's why women likely often banded together, forgave each other easily and simply understood the other side and hence forgave the person easily.
The neglect of her was acknowledged and not glossed over. So the author did VERY well dealing with this aspect of the story.
I know younger readers might be on the hypetrain to cast everybody remotely not good into hell and agony, but not every villain needs or deserves that kinda treatment. That's simply how it is and how human relationships work irl. Even if people may not like that.
Every time I see his moms in a flashback I feel so sad. They look like they'd be such a happy family
It's my favorite gay disasters being disasters and I love them but please I want to sit them down and make them talk. Mfs need a couples therapist so hard for MY sanity
No points to him for going to get help after relizing he's got a pretty serious mental disorder but uh... I guess he can get a few points for being self aware? Idk man, what is in seob seeing in this sorry excuse for a man. At leasf he's refreshingly fresh aware and willing to say in words what his issues are. Doesn't absolve him tho
If they have her stay with them at the end and it's not a tragedy ending, I don't want it. I love her inner monologue a lot and want her to get what she wants I just feel like it'd butcher this set up to see her get Stockholm or smnthn
I know how these stories work I'm just holding out hope, author got me to hate those two and root for the fl so fast
He's such a well-meaning guy, trying to take care of all these weirdos. I really love our mc and the art in that last chapter was gorgeous, really serves everyone well
Let me just say those are not the eyes of a man who plans to fulfill his end of that deal
Also tbh if anyone can read korean I kind of want to ask how the raws of this look. Like what style of korean would get translated so fancily? Or maybe this was just an artistic choice. I mean either way I enjoy reading this with a posh accent in my head haha
Like at first it was really funny and I liked how absurd everything was but then we started getting so much interesting plot and now I'm even more invested. Smh and you guys were all doubting this one
