You've got a lot of happiness

Ryeon's past is already so different from the original webtoon, so people are trying to guess the new version of her past.

Korean fans are guessing that, since Ryeon already mentioned she's from 'Qing invasion of Joseon' era, she must be one of the 'returning ladies'😥

During the war, so many Joseon women were captured and dragged to Qing. They were raped and were forced to become concubines. Some committed suicide, some came back to Joseon because their family paid ransom, and some risked their lives to run and go back to Joseon. Those who came back are called 'Returning Ladies'

But since it was like... 17C and 'women's fidelity and chastity' was so important, they faced harsh criticism in Joseon. They were considered 'corrupted', kicked out of marriage, and blamed for 'having sex with foreign intruders' 🤬

Common people are throwing rocks at Ryeon, who is a 'noble lady' and this could be explained that way.

Joong-gil says "I'll take down anyone who dares to utter such insults, no matter how many bastards there are." as he murders two guys. We know that he loves his wife Ryeon so deeply, so maybe he's taking revenge for those who blamed her.

But we also know that it would make her break down. Young Ryeon already said Joong-gil's dedication as a military officer is one of the things she loves. And now he is murdering people because of her.

I got some money. Is there anything you want to eat? It’s me, Gu.

Even the people I think I like, if I stop and think about it, they all have things that make me uncomfortable. There’s not a single person I truly like. I’m wondering if that’s why I’m being drained without realising it. If it’s why I always feel alone and also as if I’ve been abandoned. I’ve decided to try finding someone like that. Even if the other person blows hot and cold, I won’t let myself sway. I’m going to just keep liking them. Wouldn’t that be better than dealing with people without any purpose? I want to try living differently. 

He doesn’t give me a straight answer when I ask him [a question]. I asked him his name, and he hesitated to tell me. I asked him what I should call him, and he just said “My last name is Gu”.
