writting is kinda lazy and too convenient in some situations. idk what to make of her character, is it entertaining…
The series is a psychological thriller that explores the life of a sociopathic protagonist and the patterns behind her behavior. She doesn’t actively seek out chaos, but whenever someone crosses a line with her, she finds her own calculated way of dealing with it. The narrative follows her development over the years, tracing her journey from adolescence into adulthood.
An interesting concept but the plot wasn't fleshed out enough and it shows….the first 4 eps were entertaining.…
The drama is adapted from a webtoon, while the writer drew inspiration from a real king’s story, that doesn’t make it a direct comparison. Other past dramas have also incorporated the same king’s name and background. Additionally, the romance in this one was portrayed in a more subtle way ðŸ˜
For the past 2 years, I've abandoned Kdramas for Cdramas because they started to become stale and catered more…
The female lead only had limited knowledge of his background and was unaware of the uncle’s true nature. As a chef, she became a target when her ingredients were stolen by the uncle. If she had known he was evil, she would have informed the king of her suspicions.
While some dramas can be exaggerated, this one remained consistent with its theme centered around food and stayed faithful to that focus. The king, portrayed as unpopular among his people, had his soldiers taken by his uncle, which was clearly depicted in both the uncle’s schemes and the storyline. The drama drew partial inspiration from a real historical king, though many earlier series have done the same by blending fact with fiction. Ultimately, the writer incorporated stories from history while keeping the story fictional. I’ve also watched a Chinese food drama with a similar concept, and both shared a mix of humor and over-the-top scenes.

Following their brief hug and exchange of words, he proceeds to introduce her to another woman, an action that hardly conveys romance. Prior to developing feelings for the chef, he consistently declined her requests to see him. The other consorts were his late father's wives , making it understandable that he engaged solely with her, the others openly displayed their disdain towards him.
I don’t exactly get the hype. It wasn’t the worst drama ever by any means but I didn’t think there was anything…
King Yi Heon showed no romantic interest in the consort. He introduced the female lead to her when he returned and did not spend time with or acknowledge her. The narrative of the drama offers no flashbacks or signs of affection to suggest otherwise. Their relationship was marked by mutual dislike, he chose not to interfere in her actions.
It’s a good choice that the writer avoided adding explicit tyrant scenes, this would have sparked unnecessary controversy. The drama already portrays him as hostile toward his subjects, and history remembers him as a tyrant after his mother’s death, when he killed people and showed little respect to those who opposed him.
I don’t fully agree with this take. While it’s true that criticism doesn’t automatically make someone a…
How could the user have jumped on your comment when you were the one who responded to them in the first place? It’s not just fans overreacting casual viewers pointed out this issue too you blocked the user, so they can’t even see your comment, so what’s the point of informing them?
