an ode to the peons of the princess's man

Behold the finest, most skilled characters in this show: the servants. The ones who do most of the reconnaissance, who do most of the delivering of forbidden messages, who risk their lives and limbs for their masters but remain unappreciated not only in-universe but also by the audience

My thoughts exactly...

This exactly echoes my sentiments on how the servants were portrayed in the show. I felt exhausted just looking at them running around with their master's errands and the like, losing their sleep and not to mention putting their lives on the line. Especially with Yeori, as to how exasperated she might have felt having to escort Se Ryung wherever she pleases and then having to drag the girl whenever the girl's parent pleases then having to scold her when she's being particularly hard-headed or generally mopy. Don't get me wrong I love Se Ryung's character but I wished Yeori didn't have to be dragged around with her

I enjoyed watching these subordinates so much! I felt that they risked so much on their masters' behalf and got so little credit. It doesn't help that Yeori and Ja-beon (and probably Eun-geum) are smarter than their (let's be real) dumbass masters.
