You know that feeling everyone gets when they see something so adorable, like a puppy or kitten, and feel the urge to squeeze it? This response was associated with greater activity not only in the brain’s emotional systems, but also in its reward systems, which regulate motivation, pleasure and feelings of “wanting.” Scientists suspect that cute aggression is the brain’s way of coping with the overwhelming response that occurs when these two powerful brain systems are triggered; to temper the onslaught of positive feelings, in other words, the brain tosses in a dash of aggression. The secondary feeling is more like disgust, or “keeping a distance from the object,” This kind of behavior can be seen in children, boys who love a certain girl pretend to have no interest in her at all and try to ignore her. So in summary, the prince’s brain doesn’t know how to cope with all these positive reactions when around Yeon, so it turns into a mix of disgust and frustration. :)
