from what I've seen, they want the tourists lol they crown is their money making machine in this era.

The next episode is the last episode but there are still so many topics that were untouched or not discussed at all.

1. They were hinting that the deaths of the previous royals were not accidents but no one expounded on that.
2. Hui Ju's family, all that family drama then suddenly they're all supportive. Plus Hui Ju is not even having scenes with her family after that palace fire... why bother giving her a family that looks so protective of her if you're just gonna glaze over that?
3. Why I-An would suddenly abolish the monarchy? I get that Hui Jus doesn't want to be constraint by the crown, but he wanted that crown lol If that was what he wanted, we could have avoided all this drama, real talk the queen mother and let the young King be the King or the Queen be the regent.
4. I can let this one slide because human nature could just be "naturing" here, but they just used "desire" to explain the Prime Minister's actions. If he's father was so respected, and was the best prime minister and he wants to uphold their family name... if he genuinely adores and respected his friendship with Hui Ju (from what I've seen from their high school days, he does), if he truly is smart... if he really wants to protect the crown, I don't believe a simple desire for someone who doesn't even like you back is enough here. He was shown as someone intelligent and compassionate.

There are other things, but this is my top 4. I feel like they need a couple more episodes. The cut scenes/transitions are also getting on my nerves lol, I don't feel it as much in the other dramas, but with Perfect Crown, I can really feel all of these.

Still love this drama though, I good watch, I just feel like there's still so much untapped potential.

It was mentioned on Pinggyego that he received multiple offers, but he wants to focus on his acting career and just continue being a guest on Pinggyego lol but yeah he is a natural charming chatterbox

I should have just trusted the writers LOL they are the writers for a reason. All of my frustrations in Episode 9 was slapped away by Episode 10. Hui Ju and Prince I-An deserve each other, and I am so happy that they are fighting for their love. Hui Ju’s brother shined in this episode, I’m just charmed by his and his wife’s characters. The Prime Minister deserves a good choking and slapping. Lord Inpyeong deserves to be whipped to death. I also cried for the Queen and her son. This was a roller coaster.

Not to mention that stupid freaking contract! They should have been smart enough not to do that (I know, something happened and it lead to them making it, but if they thought that it wasn’t smart in the first place, they shouldn’t have continued.)

But then again, they were just following the script lol.

Plot wise, the purpose of Episode 9 is to make the victory sweeter and to make their bond stronger. Of course, both Hui Ju and the Crown Prince have to experience the downfall first, but come on!! For me, (again, just an opinion), this destroyed their aura points. They were so calculating at the start as to how they can benefit from their marriage but all they seem to be doing now is riding the wave all the people around them are causing. They both got this image from the previous episodes that they are smart and very strategic, I was so excited for them to be plotting and running the behind the scenes but it seems that they are just fighting fires.

I was waiting for them to have their mastermind moments! Hopefully, we get that on the next Episode.

Also, another thought, seems like the Queen did not burn that place down. Both I-An and the now King have trauma bonded over that conversation (and it seems like the little King knows his place because he heard the late King wants I-An to be the King.), but they were still their when the Queen left. That could also be the reason as to why I-An did not reveal the burnt decree, it would cause trouble to the Queen especially if she wasn’t the arsonist. For all their power struggle now, both the Queen and Prince I-An care for each other.

I might get hate for this… (don’t read if you can’t respect an opinion)

I think Hui Ju and the Crown Prince planned the poisoning... I have been thinking this since episode 7, and while watching episode 8, I might have changed my mind a little bit, but... do you remember in the earlier episodes when I-AN asked Hui Ju to help him become the King? I think this poisoning is the only way for I-AN to launch a full investigation on the crown (because if Hui Ju was poisoned, of course I-AN would investigate it, and if the poison was really directed at I-AN, the government would be on it as well), I think it's their way to uncover all the reasons for the deaths in his family, especially the previous King's, since I-AN still had that burnt decree that he should be King. I think they planned it or something, but their fear for each other's lives seem so real so I don't know... it's also stupid to leave their contract marriage when they are planning for an investigation. So, what do you think?

Okay hear me out and my conspiracy theory... I also think I'm way over in my head in this but... (proceed with caution below for spoiler)

It was so stupid to make that contract. But I guess the plot won't be plotting without it.

The prime minister is grating on my nerves. It seems like he called just to brag that he knows all about Hui Ju's family dynamics to irk the crown prince.

I am so excited for this show!

Thanks for clearing that up!

Kinda scared that the Prime Minister will turn evil because of what Hui Ju said at the hospital.

Episode 4 has me feeling a lot of emotions lol. I don’t love it as much as Episodes 2 and 3, but it gave us a broader view of the world our leads are in.

There are a lot of confusing things:
1. The power struggle between the Grand Prince and the Queen Mother. Most of the time, I-An puts her in her place, but this queen is really getting on my nerves. What the hell is wrong with her? I need some backstory to empathize with her because, at the moment, all I feel toward her is anger.
2. About the marriage: will they be allowed to divorce? Does Hui Ju know she won’t be able to continue running her business if she marries into the royal family?

I also feel like we haven’t been shown much about the main lead’s deal regarding this marriage.

They better not use the “there are paparazzis” line to continue that episode 3 ending!!!!

Just finished watching episode three... let me go watch that again. Argggghhhhh so many kicks in the air, and my pillow is getting flat with all the punching and slapping hahhah I needed to release the butterflies in my stomach!

I noticed that he used the exact same words in their first meeting as adults that he had used when they first met in school... and that makes me giddy lol

Based on those smirks, I believe this is the case. He fell first since their high school days.

I'm saying it now, He fell first and she will definitely fall harder. Who agrees?
