Cursed Princess Club - Season 3 Finale - Thoughts

So... That finale... 

Let’s be honest, this season was chaos. In the best way possible. I think most of the chaos was in the ‘Intruder’ - ‘Prince Whitney’ episodes just because there was so much going on. But I want to talk about the last episode specifically.

SPOILERS

The Season 3 finale, Ep.106 ‘Jamie’s Art Show’ takes place during an art show that Leopold has done surrounding Jamie’s work as a food critic. Gwen and Frederick end up going together and the episode ends in what would normally be a romantic setting, which is essentially a hall of crystals but it represents how much sugar Jamie consumes. 

Let’s back up. 

Pretty much the central conflict of this comic is that Gwen overheard Frederick call her ugly on the day they met. Up until that chaotic episode arc where Frederick meets the CPC, only the readers know that Frederick has no idea Gwen heard him, let alone that Gwen thinks she told him. Personally, I loved this use of suspense. Readers get to know that there’s been a miscommunication while (hopefully) enjoying Gwen’s developing relationship with Frederick. They both believe that they’re on the same page and they are both, in their own ways, being as honest as they can manage. But only Gwen actually has all the information...besides that detail that Frederick doesn’t know she heard him insult her. An important thing to note here is that Frederick learns very quickly that he was being horrible and shallow. He genuinely has feelings for Gwen. He tells her, in this finale, that she’s beautiful. I thought that was a neat way of *almost* closing that arc. 

When I read the part where Frederick asks Gwen what he did, my stomach dropped. But *of course* Frederick was going to bring this up. He cares very much about Gwen and I think he knows that they shouldn’t start a romantic relationship until this is cleared up. If Gwen had told him the truth, he would have been mortified *and* they would start on the same page.

But she doesn’t tell him. And, at least in my opinion, this decision was exactly where Gwen’s arc was taking her. When Frederick asks, she wants it not to matter. She likes him too, she wants this moment. And, as the episode shows, she’s been told to be more selfish. Selfishness isn’t a bad thing. Doing things you want, just because you want to do them, is okay. But only as long as you’re not hurting yourself or anyone else. Unfortunately, that’s where Gwen has gone with this decision. Deciding to push her feelings about being called ugly by someone she cares about, in exchange for what will ultimately be an illusion, is the worst thing she could have done in this situation. To her, Frederick having called her ugly is more important than the potential for a healthy relationship. Her belief that it’s the other way around, that she’s putting her positive feelings for Frederick first and ignoring the negative, is one of the most harmful aspects of this decision. It’s why her reflection goes back to being shattered. And it’s totally in character. 

‘Cursed Princess Club’ is an amazing WEBTOON. The writer, @iamlambcat (on Twitter) is an excellent storyteller. This careful control of suspension, the structure of the plot, and Gwen’s (currently incomplete) character arc is masterful. That last panel at the end of the finale is a punch to the gut and excellently sets up the next season. Gwen has come so far and yet this stumble could cost her all her progress. It won’t, obviously, because this isn’t that kind of comic. But there’s only one season left and I’m excited to find out how @iamlambcat is going to bring this central arc, as well as all the sub-plots, to a (probably unexpected and surprising) end.
