The emotional vampire in me reveled in this scene!

[thisisawesomeness1825]

Somebody said on X that what if Kang had first learned about Dal being Yeonwol during this scene, right as she was revealing that she's the Deposed Crown Princess.

I loved the sweet moment that we had at the end of Ep 11 BUT. Imagine the devastation on his face while the crowd parts for him, as he runs/staggers to her, seeing the truth and anguish on her face, and he collapses on his knees, watching as they take her away, unable to protect her again. 🥹😋

(i love them together i swear but this angst was too delicious for me to let go)

[liveasbutterflies]

I have not the slightest attachment or desire for the title of Crown Prince. If I were ever to covet something for the first time, it would be you, and only you. So remain my one desire, forever. Please. Do not abandon me, Yeon Wol.

Oh, they want that royal baby asap. 😆

[thisisawesomeness1825]

She knows she is merely a replacement, he's made that very clear. She's just walking under his wife's shadow, even the palace maids know it.

And yet she still opted to wear the former Crown Princess' accesories if that would mean he would look at her twice.

Maybe he'll look at her more than being just a lookalike. Maybe he'll see her as Dal.

But she gets reminded that he's so consumed by his revenge that he even put his life on it.

Maybe it was foolish to hope for anything more after all.

Context: An unaired footage for Ep 8 shows Dal and her maid choosing accessories, and her maid suggests these that would fit her because she looks so much like the Crown Princess--oops.

[its-chelisey-stuff]

lol just end me, I don't care anymore 🙃

I can't. I just can't.

I feel frustrated, but it's not with the drama or the writing. I love the drama. I feel frustrated because these poor souls have been led to believe a reality that isn't the full story, and I have no one to actually blame, since not even the Left Minister is aware that Dal-I is the Princess (his dumbest moment if you ask me). I mean, he's the one who orchestrated this whole thing, but I feel like all of this got out of his hands pretty quickly. He can't even control his daughter lol

I guess I could blame the woman who protected her but damn, could I?

It's just... CP fell in love with the same woman again; she's not another person! And Dal-I has fallen in love again, with the same man, but she doesn't remember her life with him. And I have to watch him feel guilty that he has to let go of his dead wife, her memory, to be able to be with Dal-I. And she feels second to a woman she's never met, when she's actually that very same woman. HAHAHAHAHA IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE

It's not that I'm angry about it. Of course not! I love this angst! I love the soulmates plot so much and the fact that theirs was a love so powerful it was given a second chance at happiness, with so much more force than the first time around. This shit is like drug to me, I get high on it!

I just feel that, for my sanity, I NEED one of them to figure out the truth. Just last ep I used to think that was gonna break me lol but at this point in the story, what I need is someone to know. It's torture waiting for it to happen.

END ME NOW I BEG YOU

I love this for them. I do. I actually do. But how long is that happiness going to last? HOW LONG?!

*yells at screen* !!!! BOY, this is your Princess!!! I'm going crazy here lol

I said it before and I'll say it again: no pain, retribution, or whatever is going to be enough for the people who tore them apart. I would love to see Left Minister throwing up blood and begging for forgiveness, and even then, it wouldn't be enough.

[thisisawesomeness1825]

I come here on tumblr because of all the good musings and gifs i find here

Honestly, at first I wasn't bothered that he was falling for Dal cos i know Dal = his wife, but when he was forced to choose between Dal and avenging his wife (his very sole reason for continuing to exist), I felt so bad for them. The scene where he was at her grave saying goodbye and a peaceful rest, I was crying.

But at the same time, it would be unfair for Dal if the CP was still treading between protecting her and his revenge. She was already ok with standing by him as his concubine, knowing full well that he might never love her back as he led her to believe. Giving him closure was the best thing, because I can't take it if he didn't and the truth gets revealed and Dal starts questioning if he ever only loved her because she's Yeonwol and not because of who she is as Dal now. 🥹

[dangermousie]

The way I am swooning at his confession and her response and their faces!!!

They are both such lovely, loving, selfless, soft people - I need them to be happy so badly!

Also preview for 9 shows a lot of scary stuff but also:

(And apparently they swap again after sex hmmmm - if blood is involved, did she get to be a virgin again? Like I suppose getting devirginized twice by the same true love is romantic if you are gothic but all I can think of is this would SUCK!)

[dangermousie]

The way she (in his body) covers him (in her body) from the whipping he's taking for her AAAAA

And it's their blood mixing in the water swaps them back!

I am eating this up!!!

This was GLORIOUS!!!!!

My favorite period romance of the year, hands down.

[thisisawesomeness1825]

It pains me that Yeonwol/Dal has always seen herself and her dreams lower than the Crown Prince, and would willingly sacrifice herself to protect him. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince would kill and rage for anything and anyone that dare harm her. What a pair, your honor.

[dangermousie]

The way he holds those shoes!!! That he rescued from the fire with his bare hands that are now burned because they were her dream!!! The symmetry!!! She burned her hands for him (cauterizing his wound) and now he's burned his hands for her!

Love how she's worried awwwww

I love how you always always always can tell when it's the CP in his own body and when it's Dal I. Just as you can always tell when it's Dal I in her own body and when it's CP.

AAAA

THE PREVIEW IS MAKING ME INSANE IN THE BEST WAY!!!!

(If you think about it, it makes total sense - she died for him before, and he's regretted it ever since because he would have so much rather taken on the hurt instead of her and now here is a chance. But also, once again, symmetry!!!)

[thisisawesomeness1825]

"She burned her hands for him (cauterizing his wound) and now he's burned his hands for her!"

Technically, the body is still Dal's so she got her hands burned twice 😭
