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).

We'll agree to disagree. Kang is playing a part so while his arrogance is partially real (well he's supposed to become the next king and is already the regent as his father is "incapacitated", and that mattered in Joseon, him not being somewhat arrogant would not be credible), he's also playing into the narrative that's he is self-centered and shallow for the council's benefit (eating popcorn during sessions, leaving for the city to have fun, calling doctors for beauty treatments, harassing the taylor with his color patterns...). Again we'll see... But in every sageuk the king and/or crown prince are arrogant 😂 it's part of any trope including them

She has a huge crush on him, so yeah... It's misplaced pride. It is kind of ironic because she reacts strongly as she is jealous of his dead wife... And she actually is the dead wife 😂 it's funny and tragic at the same time

So the fact they were drowning at that moment doesn't qualify as immediate danger in your books? They were both unconscious after the kiss and the thread reconnecting... So no they were not conscious. They woke up the next morning. So I don't understand your comment.

Well that's Joseon where men more important than women... And he is the Crown prince, not just some regular guy. That said he genuinely loved his wife and showed his devotion (he was ready to die for her and that's why the king asked Yeon-wol to kill herself) ... He put his life on the line for Dal-i in episode 4. So I give him a hall pass for that for now. I think it's mostly the shock talking. We'll see...

He said the pull between them would be too strong as severed threads want to reconnect. That said when he saw they met again (looking at the flower) he didn't look overly worried
