As a result, she was rewarded for her intellect and got to go to the palace.This episode explored the theme of class inequality.

This just doesn't do it for me.

I know this drama is a classic and one of the highest rated ever, but I'm finding it too boring to continue. It is just too long and slow for my taste. It seemed like nothing interesting happened this whole episode.
