Love & War

"Everything is fair in love and war."

Ch-7

Seonghwa lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing with thoughts of the imminent marriage. The events of the day had left him restless, and sleep seemed elusive.

Meanwhile, in her own chambers, Y/N tossed and turned, her thoughts equally consumed by the impending union. She couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that gripped her heart.

As the night wore on, both Seonghwa and Y/N found themselves lost in a whirlwind of emotions. The weight of their respective responsibilities bore down on them, casting a shadow over the excitement of the approaching wedding day.

Despite the fatigue that weighed heavily on their bodies, sleep remained elusive, leaving them to grapple with their inner turmoil in the solitude of their chambers.

In the darkness of the night, with only their thoughts for company, Seonghwa and Y/N found themselves on the brink of a new chapter in their lives, uncertain of what the future held in store.

The following morning, Seonghwa awoke to a flurry of activity outside his chambers. "WHAT IS ALL THIS!?" he thundered as he emerged. "We're just putting on some last-minute decorations," the head maid explained. Seonghwa sighed in resignation and retreated back into his room, dreading the events to come.

"Master?" Yunho entered. "Yes?" Seonghwa replied. "It's time to get ready, my lord," Yunho informed him. Reluctantly, Seonghwa acquiesced and proceeded to his bathhouse, where his servants bathed and dressed him in his wedding attire. He sat in a wedding carrier laden with gifts for the bride and her family as he made his way to the palace, signaled by the rhythmic beat of drums.

Meanwhile, Y/N prepared for her marriage in her chamber, adorned in a resplendent red and white wedding hanbok. "Aunty?" she called to the queen. "Yes?" the queen responded. "I'm very nervous," Y/N admitted. "It's natural to be nervous, but everything will be fine," the queen reassured her.

As the time approached, a servant arrived to escort Y/N. "Let's go," Yeji said, and Y/N took a deep breath, steeling herself for the momentous occasion. They descended the stairs to the open tent adorned with crimson silk in the garden.

Inside the tent, the king inquired about Seonghwa's family. "They couldn't make it on time," Seonghwa explained. "You look beautiful, princess," Yeosang complimented Y/N, earning a grateful smile from her.

As Y/N entered the tent, her eyes locked with Seonghwa's, and both were captivated by each other's presence. They exchanged bows, signifying their mutual respect and commitment.

"The groom will now present gifts to the bride's family," the priest announced. Seonghwa's servants brought forth lavish gifts, and a shaman presided over the Hapgeunrye, invoking blessings for their future.

During the Hollye ceremony, Seonghwa and Y/N exchanged heartfelt vows, pledging to stand by each other through thick and thin. In the Pye-baek, tea was offered to the king and queen in a gesture of filial piety.

Following the wedding, a grand reception was held, attended by nobles and dignitaries. As the festivities came to a close, Seonghwa sent a carrier to escort Y/N to the House of Gladiolus, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives together.

What did Park Ho San say? 😢

mentioned it partially in the tags of my post but i'll post it here with a full translation of the original (native speakers, pls come and tell me if i f*cked anything up, i worked this out with the dictionary, Papago, and gallons worth of tears while crawling through every article i could find):

'i don't believe it, i don't want to believe it, but it wasn't until i received the obituary notice that i did. to me, you were more like Dong Hoon [Lee Sun Kyun's character in My Mister] than Sun Kyun. Sun Kyun-ah, Dong Hoon-ah, my little brother, no matter what you did i really believed in you. how painful must it have been? how hard it must have been... i have to go to the hall [literally 식장에 or 'ceremonial hall' - can be used to refer to a wedding hall, but here it's used for where his memorial/funeral services are being held], but it's a little scary. i'm going to go anyway. even if i can't tell you anything later, i'll carry these words with me: i and all of us who know you really, really believe in you.

since you're lying down, now, take it easy and be at peace. stretch out your legs. forget all your heartache, let it fly away and sleep comfortably. rest well, my warm little brother. ♥️'

If I had a chocolate bar for every time the female lead in a K-drama written by Park Hye-run says potentially hurtful things to the male lead to protect them, I would have two chocolate bars. It's not a lot but it is weird that it's happened twice.

Love & War

"Everything is fair in love and war."

Ch-8

As Y/N entered the House of Gladiolus, she was struck by its breathtaking beauty. The main door opened onto a path flanked by gardens, each side adorned with vibrant gladiolus flowers.

"Annyeonghaseyo, ma'am. Welcome to the House of Gladiolus. I am General Park's assistant, Yunho. I will also be your assistant from now on. This is the head maid of the house, Eunbi," Yunho said, introducing himself and Eunbi.

Eunbi bowed, and Y/N returned the gesture. "Let's escort you to your room, ma'am," Yunho continued.

"Where's, uh… you know," Y/N hesitated, trying to ask about Seonghwa without knowing his name.

"The General is in his room," Yunho replied, sensing her discomfort.

"Oh," Y/N said softly.

"Let's go," Eunbi urged gently, and Y/N followed them to the House of Barcarolle. The path was lined with more flowers and delicate lanterns, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasted with the anxiety in Y/N's heart. As they reached the entrance, Yunho and Eunbi stepped aside to let Y/N enter her new quarters.

"Thank you," Y/N said, trying to mask her nervousness with a smile.

"Please, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call for us," Yunho said with a reassuring smile before he and Eunbi left Y/N to settle into her new surroundings.

Y/N stepped inside the House of Barcarolle, her eyes adjusting to the elegant black floral theme that adorned the walls. A prominent picture of the first queen of Goguryeo hung on one side, piquing Y/N's curiosity about the story of this house and the royal lineage. Though an inexplicable sense of unease gnawed at her, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the luxurious accommodations: a spacious room with a large bed and an expansive closet.

Stripping off her dress, Y/N washed her face and slipped into her night suit. The day's events had exhausted her, and she quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Y/N was gently roused by Eunbi shaking her shoulder.

"Ma'am, it's time to wake up," Eunbi said softly.

Y/N rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, blinking away the remnants of sleep. "Good morning, Eunbi," she murmured.

"Good morning, ma'am," Eunbi replied with a warm smile. "Breakfast is ready, and the General has requested to see you after."

Y/N nodded, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation. "Thank you, Eunbi. I'll get ready."

As Eunbi left the room, Y/N took a moment to collect herself. The room's dark floral patterns and the mysterious portrait seemed less intimidating in the morning light. She got dressed, determined to make a good impression and to learn more about the enigmatic General Park Seonghwa and her new life in the House of Gladiolus.

Malgré la sécurité accrue, ceux-ci parviennent à s’échapper et massacrent les forces de l’ordre ainsi que les membres de l’équipage. Toutefois, un mal bien plus profond se libère également de la soute du bateau…     “Project Wolf Hunting” est un thriller d’action…

Dinner Mate. 6

Story: 7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (kdrama) ; Drinking Solo (kdrama); Dating in the Kitchen (cdrama); Chocolate (kdrama)

The drama started off with a real bang. It was really really good at first, especially in the first handful of of episodes, unfortunately it began a roller coaster effect where it was good then drag, then it was good again then back to dragging. It never really found it’s momentum to me. The only way I enjoyed the series somewhat was pressing through with the fast forward button.
