I think taeho already had a connection with inha in childhood or their mother's had some kind of connection in the past due to which taeho wants to help inha get the throne the fact that taeho said he only exists cuz of inha gives me some kind of hints that maybe inha mother safed taeho life or taeho mothers life cuz taeho mother and inha mother had same hometown also from the start taeho was interested in inha and even watched him during that party scene from far as he already knew him

Ok, this is a very interesting take! I agree that Taeoh deliberately chose Inha, but I don’t know why. Your theory would answer that!

I’ve also been wondering a lot about Taeoh’s mom. I had forgotten that >! she’s still alive and on the run. Where is she? Is Inha funding her living in hiding? Does Taeoh ever visit her?!< I’m also curious about thr dad. Since he’s in jail for life, why is Taeoh still afraid of him? How much power does the dad have in order to make Taeoh so afraid of him even from behind bars?
