It really looked like two couples at the beginning 😂😂 but we got quite the surprise with that

It's the Zhen bird, Kim Han-cheol bought it in Qing the year before the Gyesa year. His poison was used to kill the previous king and his family. Je-woon discovered the bird was still alive and there it is... Well in the official music video released for But a Dream you saw the sequence with Han-cheol walking in that dark corridor and then the black feather. I realize this video has a few spoilers if you pay enough attention 😂😂

Yeah sorry I didn't understand. I've only started posting since A Hundred Memories... Before I was just reading and keeping track of the shows I was watching...

Certainly an interesting one... Seems to be long before the first Queen was accused of adultery... Maybe the start of his villain arc. He has this intriguing scar, he hardly was always this polished minister. He probably had a score to settle with the Royals.
That's what I like with Moon River, there's always a new layer. It's one reason why I don't understand people saying it's boring, like... I've watched lots of sageuks, and this is definitely one of the less boring ones 😂

Both are obviously linked. It's likely because of the thread reconnecting but them not being ready that the swap happened. In episode 6 we got an inkling that is indeed the explanation.
In this story all events are tightly linked. Like Kang said, it's like an arrow shot, you can't stop it it goes to its intended target

Her "aunt" gave her ring to her adoptive parents. It was in a deleted scene but MBC put it on YouTube last week. So it's Canon. I suppose it'll come up at one point

Sorry I'm not too used to discussions... Should I copy paste there again with the new elements they gave in the recent episodes?

Lol

No it's called But a dream. Not a dream is an older song.

Many are rather vague, with mostly This has been done before, nothing original, which isn't a very original critic considering it is different if only by the rhythm compared to most sageuk. We're at episode 5, this feels like episode 10 of any other one. But then it depends if you like that genre or not... If you don't like fantasy, historical or romcom, you'll have a hard time enjoying this I suppose. I do. I was waiting for this very impatiently, worried I it would not deliver. It has so far in my books 😊

New detail Yeon-wol's father and brother were executed, for the conspiracy that kill queen 3 (Kang's mother). Her court lady who saved her was in love with her brother and promised him before his death that she would take care of Yeon-wol.
Edited to add: this explain the comment the king said to Kang in episode 1, that he survived these events thanks to the blood of his mother, wife and father-in-law.

When you like/the other person, the body is but a vessel. It's the person in the other body, the one you're connected with you kiss. You're not in your body when you kiss 🤷🏼‍♀️

People who don't like or maybe don't even watch and just want the show to have bad ratings. Some haters watched 30 minutes and said it was garbage 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'll vote at the end.
That said I have shows I don't like I rated poorly despite being well loved. We all have different tastes.
It's at 9.7 on Viki with 1,677 votes. But they're usually too lenient there lol

No one recognized the crown prince as he was walking among them and buying things on the market 😂😂 I suppose that's the assumption, it's probably highly exaggerated... But we have that in many sageuks. I still think boys were more known than girls in noble families, they studied, made trades, the girls usually were married off to other nobles and ruled the households once the mother-in-law couldn't... I'm not sure from which country you are, but here in France and Germany it was pretty much like that too

Viki does, I would imagine Viu does also

It's a good combo of all I think.

No one there knew the face of the Crown princess. Only people in the people did and Minister Lee only rose to power after Kang's mother died... Once the women of the royal family lived in the palace, no one saw them outside. Their life remained exclusively on those premises. We don't know how long they were married either, so a year at a minimum (they met in the spring and she 'died' in the winter) she might not have been very visible during that period. Once her face is in the palace from episode 4, then the real danger starts.
You guys seem to be under the impression that anyone knew how the Royals looked like back then... Noble families probably did but regular people only saw official portraits.

Both their wrists glowed, it seemed triggered by Kang realizing this was more than mere coincidence that Dal-i looked like Yeon-wol.

Oh absolutely possible... Even very likely. It definitely was a major disruption.

Considering how he killed all his opponents in the Gyesa year and placed his goons since then, I understand why his opponents are reluctant to oppose him. Look what just happened to the Chief Secretary who was dumb enough to work with his daughter to oppose him?
The king is his puppet. If you watched Mr Queen, we're in a Cheoljong in the hands of the Kim faction situation... Which reflected the reality of what happened to that king (died young under unclear circumstances and was replaced by a teenager).
