Royal Queen

Yes I know the full synopsis

No it's not weird. Ming never actually planned any of this. He was a selfish rich brat who never cared about anything. On the other hand, Tong knew exactly what he was doing. He actually uses people around him be it Ming or his wife to get his job done.

Ming is given a redemption arc. Joe forgives him. So happy ending.

I can spot only minor changes. They are representing the novel correctly. I hope it's the same for future episodes.

Imagine any guest visiting your house and they get to see " friends with benefits" painted in your window.

Yes he plays an important role when their relationship is known to Ming's parents.

May be both kept their partners under house arrest.

Yeah and some are saying Vegas is better. For me it's devil or deep sea.

True unfortunately this happens in real life. We fall for a**holes.

Actually his family is not nice. Even his sister for that matter. Unlike in series, his sister was bad in novel. Ming father was a typical authoritarian asian parent as per the novel. We may get to see this in future episodes. Ming is supposed be a rich insensitive brat who changes after losing his Joe and realizes his love when it's too late. NOT SUPPORTING MING YES HE IS HORRIBLE.

Exactly you said it perfectly.

Joe ignored it because he was attracted. It's clear in the novel that Joe was infactuated towards Ming. He used to ignore Ming's insensitive behaviour as childish.

Actually Ming never acted good. He was always insensitive towards Joe. He used to occasionally taunt him if u can recall. He clearly said this relationship is only physical. Till this point Im fine with Ming and Joe was too. He is toxic when he can't see Joe with another guy but he is not loyal himself. He is using Joe as a substitute. He sabotaged Joe's career because of this arrogance. These things make him horrible.

I just want to give shoutout to the creators of the show to represent novel correctly. There are some changes but it didn't destroy the story. This is what step by step and Kinn Porsche failed to do that they didn't do justice to the novel. I was disappointed with step by step as the novel was awesome but the creators destroyed it. And for KP, I wanted some of my favourite moments to be in the series. Here the story is neither moving speed or slow, it's just perfect. They covered the entire flashback in just 4 episodes. Brilliant.

In this episode Joe reads the news that Tong acted in the film and it became super hit. But in the novel Tong (Wang Yu Dong) didn't even act in the movie. That moron provoked Ming to keep Joe house arrest but in the end he did not even act in that movie. He just couldn't see his stuntman getting recognition so he played this evil game. AND POOR JOE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE. THAT'S SO UNFAIR

Variation in the novel regarding Joe reading news that occured in his absence. Spoilers down.

NEED TO CLAP FOR UP. He made me forget that he played cute innocent guy in the lovely writer. Nubsib will be shocked to see his P'gene like this.

He dies while performing the dangerous stunt on mountain as shown in the preview. Yes the story continues from episode 1. I think as per preview the episode will end with Joe's accident. From 5th epi, the story resume to present day. Yes Ming becomes miserable. He feels guilty.

Is there news like that? Is there any drama being made on this novel in Taiwan?
