it genuinely pains me to think abt the difference in treatment TOP went through and that rapist did all TOP did was some weed, he didn't hurt anyone but himself and tortured himself abt it for such a long time it took 10 years for him to come back with music while that rapist (+ his freinds) dodged his sentence and criminal record and it seemingly made less noise??? I hate how unfair the world is to good people and especially victims
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
There does exiss a record of Danshim after all: a half-burned painting of her. The fact that Prince Segye must have painted her, a lowborn maid, in a style one would portray a royalty to immortalizing her for perpetuity, and written a love poem confessing his eternal love for her, worshipping and honouring her, making the world to remember her, making her eternal, when everyone else wanted to tarnish and erase her.
What if he painted the portrait not only to immortalize and worship her, but because capturing her likeness like this was the only way she could belong to him and he could keep her by his side, as a maid who was a King's woman, the portrait speaking of hidden longing, devotion and love.
DS is holding a jangdo (an ornamental knife used by women for protection), what's more, it's an eunjangdo, a silver knife, something commoners were prohibited to carry. Prince Segye must have given it to her so she could protect herself in the palace. I'm unwell!
There was a law that would penalize common people for using eunjangdos. The reason for this restriction was the importance of gold and silver. In a feudal society, gold and silver were indicators of social hierarchy. So he's breaking all the rules for her, treating her like nobility.
You can find more information about jangdo knives here:

Another great detail in My Royal Nemesis. The way Kang Danshim's painting is burnt resembles the damaged portraits of kings Sunjo and Heonjong, which were burnt during the Busan Yongdusan fires in 1954. Has a fire to do something with his death? Did he try to protect her portrait?
