The wait is taking me out. I want to read the novel to cope with the stress lol but I’m afraid that it will ruin the drama for me if it’s better (since that’s what most of the readers have been saying in the comments.)
Can someone please recommend another C-Drama with the ML having the same vibe as Luan Nian? I am going crazy waiting for the next episode!!! How many times should I watch the previous episode?! This drama got me on a chokehold. I need help!
Apparently, Lee Sang Yi is supposed to be a cameo in this drama and not one of the main, hehe 🤣
For real! The only special appearance that is in the promotions and poster lol According to his talk on Pinggyego he was casted just casted for cameo/special appearance but the writers/directors had so much fun with his character during filming that he ended up in almost all of the episodes.
I was gonna let it go, but the other thing that stood out for me from the last couple episodes, and was greatly shown in this episode was Prince Ian. He had multiple dialogue that is along the lines of "Do you really think I can't protect you/us", he said this both to the Queen and HuiJu, but in the end, it was HuiJu and the Queen that really protected him LoL. Until the end of the drama, I didn't really feel that he was powerful as a regent. I liked his character in the first half, but man the second half didn't really unleashed his full potential, he was like a lost puppy sometimes. (I'm talking about the character, not the actor. I like BWS just fine, he just followed the lackluster second half script.)
Overall, I still enjoyed this drama though, this made me watch K-Dramas again after shifting to C-Dramas. The first half was chef's kiss. I just wish the writers drank their coffees when they were writing the second half. That the drama has an untapped potential is what disappoints me. They had a great cast but their skills weren't fully utilized. They glossed over a lot of things.
Honestly, I felt like this was never clarified to begin with, they had some scenes in the previous episodes that…
oh yeah, sorry, I misread that. I agree with you, they could have used a couple more episodes for us to believe the Queen is turning a new leaf or was never that bad in the first place.
This drama honestly feels like the audience is hyping the plot lol. The plot theories of the drama's fans, and how they think the characters will proceed in the next scenes are so much more interesting than what they are showing us every episode.
This arc doesn't make sense - Queen mother 's sudden change of heart. She let her husband 's last wish burn in…
Honestly, I felt like this was never clarified to begin with, they had some scenes in the previous episodes that could mean that it was never the queen who started the fire in the first place. She burnt the decree but she did not burn that whole place down. There's just so much plots that's not being explored.
I feel they should not have touched what they couldn't finish for example giving us no good reason why the crown…
@crescenttimes, I agree. That was not even in one of their many foreshadowings. They will waste the last episode on this abolishment of the crown that we're not even given a reason to root for.
I just finished writing a similar comment. The editing was getting on my nerves too! Like, I pressed a 10 second…
@sue denim For real, all those backstory for nothing. It's like they wasted time that could have been just used for the present story. They could have just made a different reason for Secretary Do to fall in love with Aide Choi. TBH, I don't even like the plot of both their secretaries falling for each other lol
