the scene where she runs to him while he's in a meeting with other nobles after escaping the closet was SOOO FRUSTRATING. like she was basically clinging to him, giving him clues about what happened to her WHILE HER FINGERS WERE BLOODY but he BRUSHES HER OFF. and he wonders why she wants to kill herself? CANCEL HIM

i have no sympathy for seungeon but i do understand his attitude a bit. he was abused since he was a child but he still got materialistic posessions cause his family's loaded. so things like money have no value to him cause he's never lived without it and at the same time it's not what he actually wants. money can't buy the affection and self-worth he's long been denied of. ji wook is probably the only "thing" he's ever wanted to have aside from his family's approval cause he's clearly given up on ever being good enough for them. so seungeon does everything he can to have ji wook, neglecting ji wook's feelings cause he's never had to be considerate of anyone before. how could he learn empathy from being slapped and punched? in conclusion, dude needs therapy and some good ol' character development

patrizia offered herself to lucio for the time being that the aphrodisiac wears off. she had suggested that he slept with a maid just to calm down but he didn't want to because he was in love with her. after they slept together this is where she confuses her feelings for him and is also before the big climax of the story where rose will be locked for her crimes. and guess what? it's LUCIO who turns her in
the "goodbye, father" gets me every time
SAME DUDE
