Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung Episode 8

7.0/10 - Great world building.

Goo Hae Ryung and Yi Rim are going through the obligatory getting to know you. In which the female lead gets to clean for the male lead. Why is this such a K-drama trope? I blame Full House. The cleaning scenes. They were trying to brainwash female viewers.

That said this episode was a solid followup. It was very interesting to see how the government works. Not to mention how all the advisors can bully the Crown Prince! It's clear these rich and powerful men are looking out for themselves. I mean. Just look how heartless they are about the poor paying the bills.

That said I enjoyed the training that the Female Historians are finally getting! I like all the setup here as we get a feel for our characters, and as new ones are introduced. I am beyond intrigued about this whole secret plot and how women are right in the think of it. Not to mention this tie in of the western healing practice to save one of the men connected to the book.
