Was the rich woman with her scarred wrist in the car overlooking the police station, the sister-in-law of Lee Lim's doppelganger in ROK? The only one in the family, Lee Lim didn't kill?

wow thanks a lot for recommending it. i watch almost exclusively Korean because it's already overwhelming but i appreciate a good story no matter the country obviously.

were you the one who recommended it? LOL. is the story really similar? OMG i am so scared to compare this somewhat amateurish feeling type of a parallel universe show to something else that's so well done.
:( we are like polar opposites lol I wish I could like this show as much as you do.
ouh i can see that. well i guess because he needs to be highly cultured/presidential as the King here, LOL instead of freely doing whatever as a spoiled, bratty rich kid LMAO.
i kinda agree, the writing so far has been underwhelming God help us :(

your third point reply:
___yeah, that's why we haven't been able to relate to the character of Lee Gon as much as we would have liked. we are suddenly brought into the adult version of him that's full of cringey and impulsive moments, when the first two episodes could have given us a really nice build up of his tough upbringing. therefore when he finally met his 'saviour, Tae Eul', we could've made sense why he's so attached to her, and kept being patient to her when she's so rude/condescending towards him.
personally i feel like the creator of this drama was leaning into LMH's post military service comeback drama popularity too much so they decided to give him the max screen time possible at the expense of other characters WTF what a shame.

___the thing about the doppelganger dying as the rule of universe. this only happens when the door to travel freely between the two worlds is unlocked obviously, and human's greed takes over. of course not every poor person wants to kill the rich version of themselves in the alternate universe, but the opportunity is there. 2 worlds colliding into one, so yes i do think a lot of people would become greedy and want to able to use that power without sharing it with another look-alike person.
___i also agree that Jo Yeong vs. Eun Sup first meeting was underwhelming. the comedy felt lame and the reaction overly done. a lot of scenes in this drama that are meant to be funny or light-hearted really turned out to be working against their favour by being either corny/cheesy/cringey.

i'm interested to reply to your criticisms:
1. the PM calling Tae Eul a b****. it's already insinuated that she wanted to rise up to power as Queen since PM's term is only 5 years, so that came from a place of jealousy.
2. nothing substantial happened in the first 30 minutes - i agree. in fact i viewed this episode favorably because i) the pace has picked up than previous ones and ii) they introduced us to Luna and the fact that Jo Yeong was brought to the other world, and instructed by his King to stay in ROK to murder the traitor uncle.
3. that's an interesting point! the sides where Lee Gon plays his role as the King has been quite subliminal, the drama would have been richer if we have seen more of that. i also wanted to add that they give adult Lee Gon too much screen time, when the entirety of ep. 1&2 could have been about young and teenage Lee Gon.
i will watch that one when this finishes. that's so great to hear :)

bookmarked!

when are you going to watch it?
