The Rebel Princess 上阳赋 (2021) Dir. Cheng Yuan Hai, Hou Yong & Xu Zhi Ming – Ep. 33

[feverdrea-rabbithole]

Basically, PM min is not only jealous that Ian daegun got huiju. He doesn't believe that Ian daegun deserves to get the girl and be free from the weight of royal dysfunction. He thinks he sacrificed something by not confessing his feelings for huiju and following his father's footsteps. He thinks Ian hasn't sacrificed enough to try to break the system. Another parallel with daebi mama that wasn't properly explored

[feverdrea-rabbithole]

PM min and Ian daegun's character parallel is actually a major point that I'm so sad was under utilised. Many people keep talking about his characters poor writing but the problem was not that Ian daegun's character writing was actually what was lacking. If they explored Ian daegun's character motivations well, the audience would have seen the contrast with PM min as well as he was basically daegun's only trusted friend apart from daegun's brother

The production crew of perfect crown really had a huge problem. The background story was in no way fluffy at all. It was giving Red Sleeve level saeguk drama yet it seemed they were hired to make a fluffy rom com out of that. In that context, I'm not mad at the outcome. They really tried to make it as light as possible while giving plot

[feverdrea-rabbithole]

Just read the web novel and let me tell you prime minister min's rosary was not strong enough to handle what that man was going through fr fr. That man literally planned his life towards achieving all he wanted politically then coming back for huiju in the end. They were so close and he was all in her dysfunctional family business. His mum didn't even like her and even huiju sensed that! he foolishly never made a contingency plan over whether she'd really fall in love with anyone and she did with Ian daegun, his stubborn yet idealistic yet charming " maybe friend"? Nah, I know his chest was HURTING. I know he couldn't BREATHE hearing their dating news break lmao

Just saw a picture of singer H.E.R, and that face is literally singer I.U wow. The more I look, the more the resemblance goes crazy

[feverdrea-rabbithole]

Now that we're shown a new flash back of a part of Ian daegun and his brother's relationship, the earlier writing of the show shines brighter for me. Huiju talking about Ian saying marrying for love was his "life long dream or something like that" was actually a brilliant add on. One thing about the grand prince Ian is that while he doesn't lie, he's still very strategic. After watching his brother go through all that ,marrying for love really was something he was determined to do in order to be different. Every conflicted emotion and actions he had regarding his family's situation was something only a lover could have understood. This also means choosing huiju was more than just fulfilling a long term crush for him, he was placing his most expensive bet yet: his future, on the woman of his dreams. And he placed that bet after meeting her adult self just once. Very swoon worthy yet still mature writing

[feverdrea-rabbithole]

After watching "that" scene for the 50th time, for research purposes of course, I also would be mad if I was the prime minister. Knowing that tiny waist has been squeezed by manly hands and those peach lips were kissed until swollen by someone who I definitely know is capable but is not me?!.. I will also burn down the palace for the third time lool

I'm just reassuring you. I'm right here.

Kdramas using "leaked documents" as plot twist is so... Is it too much to expect that perfect crown to deliver a new and clever solution atp? I would actually love to see huiju lie her way out like she does in business. Staying true to her motto of getting dirty to win

It's like the camera crew went on month long workshop on how to capture as much as gang dongwon's sexy self they can get ethically possible on screen because how can each shot be so perfectly framed to run me feral? I fucking love this show and it's sexy cameras!
