@djv5surrey I'm definitely more emotional too. But maybe came with age I little bit wiser. In my book, Dawin is not a mere bodyguard, he is a high ranking soldier who have skill and his own team. So, what with Alan? If some day he fall in love with his female BG. Do he need to forgo his throne too. Why can't Alice have her man and the throne too? In my op, grandpa can change the rules about royalty marriage. I think Alice mom also a commonner. This is totally BS in term of gender equality. So, the writer kinda fail there.
Same with MHIL, when Anne said she change the story from the book eveeyone expected that Tien will let Moey further her study. But, instead she throw all that pregnancy shenanigan. Even that, she doesn't made it better. She kind butcher it with all the choppy editing.
In my opinion, sometimes Anne vision about love conquer all is kinda meh. Her empowerment of woman still lacking here and there on her most lakorn.
