Tia and Clerivan's bond will always have a special place in my heart.
By the way, I'm too lazy to br and find the ch myself, so I'm just gonna ask. When the Empress ordered the Imperial knights to hunt Clerivan down, did Tia and Clerivan hug when he made it just in time to the Lombardi mansion? Because that was one of my fav scenes in the novel. That scene meant so much to me because the tension in the novel was on a completely different level. The manhwa cut out a lot of scenes, so the whole chase felt less intense. But I was genuinely scared Clerivan wouldn't make it in the novel. That's how scary the chase from the Pellet compound all the way to Lombardi. They were intent to capture/kill him. My feet were cold COLD. The hug of relief showed how much Tia and Clerivan cared for each other beyond an employer-employee relationship. We don't get to see it often because Clerivan keeps a serious face most of the time and maintains that respectful wall between himself and Tia.
Maybe I'm too modern for this, but I've never fully wrapped my head around the idea of dedicating your entire life and loyalty to another person. And yet, I absolutely love their relationship. He's not just an employee, that's for sure. He might not be her father, but he's definitely family. You're not gonna convince me otherwise.
The lightstick turned out way cuter than I expected. The way Moondae and some fans described it in the novel had me convinced it was some kind of weapon of mass destruction. Since it was inspired by a baseball bat, I genuinely thought Loviewers could use it to beat other fandoms (This from their own words btw). I was expecting a humongous glow stick with blunt force trauma capabilities. And oh my God??? Blonde Moondae, I kneel. I bow. I pay taxes in your honor. Even more, blonde, long-haired Park Moondae as a hwarang?! I didn't know I needed that until now. I swear my heart almost stopped when I saw that panel. That 1 point for the visuals was totally fcking worth it. Also, long-haired Baese. Baese with glasses. Whoever designed these looks clearly had a personal vendetta against my sanity. If my descriptions haven't made it obvious already, my type are either cute long-haired men or men who rock cool nerd aesthetics. If these men were real, the black market would suddenly see a mysterious increase in organ supply. And Baese in a white coat? White suits him ridiculously well, just as much as blonde hair and yellow suit Moondae.
P.S. Actually, they're all my fcking type. If I could, I'll take them all.
The visual attacks are almost too much. I can't wait for them to become an official family. Varia looks so good in black. Incoming muscle Mommy and Daddy. Too bad Leo missed the confession—if I were her, I would've been so mad.
Also, it has always been implied that Phileo would eventually have a love interest. I understand why it may have felt sudden, especially since the story's progression has been slow. Across more than a hundred chapters, we've only really seen Phileo and Leo, so the introduction of a female lead into their father and daughter dynamic might have felt a bit invasive to some readers.
Deborah looks great when her hair is all tied up. The visuals at the party was especially good. I usually don't like the way their dresses look but the design of the dress she wore at the party fits her. And oh my God, Sir Isidore is really a sight for sore eyes. I've said it a lot but they really looked good at that party.









I understand, Sylvia. Men who can cook are indeed sexy especially when they're wearing apron. Who can resist a view like that once a week? ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
