Rara and Bin were so sweet to host her though. Hope everybody meets such kind souls when they are at their lowest.....

Well, Jae-Won's 'fakeness' is only having a 'front' to the world, pretending like he has stuff under control when deep down he's losing it. Infact, we ALL are guilty of the same, when things don't go our way and we are a mess, we pretend like we got it under control.
What struck me aa ironic is the fact that we as people are the first to accuse somebody of being 'fake' without realizing we too, somehow, somewhere, are guilty of the same....and Jae-Won ultimately calling her a 'fake' to her face, encapsulated this irony pretty well, because just a moment later after this confrontation, Geon, who'd been thinking of JaeWon's character as a 'pathetic loser from the interviews', immediately identifies Jaewon as a 'what a cool, good-looking guy he is' with his 'cool whiskey, expensive clothes and watch'....without really knowing he's the same mopey-kid as in the interview.
Anyway, what I meant to say was that people are quick to pass judgements, without really knowing the person in and out, and the script today brilliantly captured that.

Also, did anybody notice how Jae-won is 'perceived' as cool and suave (somebody who drinks expensive alcohol, is gorgeous looking, wears expensive clothes & watches and is a smooth-talker), and yet, as viewers, we and close ones (like his Dad, cousin and other characters once they get to know the 'embarrassing' bits of his life) think of him as a 'pathetic loser' that he is...

I know what EO did was drastic (with her fake name & persona), but I think the show does a good job depicting how *every single* person has a front they present to the world, and deep-down inside, one you get to know them.... are quite different instead. I know the show won't go in the direction of airing out Jae-won's 'fakeness' (as it was only a minor detail today)... but I kinda felt how hypocritical he is, calling EO a fake, when he himself on a more generic-scale, is doing just that (presenting a 'fake' front to the world), albeit un-intentionally...

First of all, what an amazingly beautiful soundtrack this has got! ^^

Secondly, since ratings went up, I guess more people liked this week's episodes than the prev ones. For me, that's definitely the case, because I no longer *hate* Eun-Oh. It's important to make leads *likeable* in order to want to continue watching... Though, hating her any less or understanding her any more, doesn't make what she did with Jae-won okay. I'm still mad at her for hurting him.

Excellent insight!! ^^

The famous 'kimchi slap'.... ah we deserve it lmaooo! xD

Nope still dragging it...
Start Up-
Halmeoni: "Hypothetically speaking, if the IRL Nam DoSan and the letter-Dosan were different, who'd you pick?"
Dalmi: (after having a torrid rooftop makeout-sesh) "I'd pick the 'Dosan' from the letters"

True Beauty-
Second Male Lead: I like her, but she has a boyfriend.... what say, should I give up?
Female Lead: What? Noways.... !!! Ain't no girl gonna reject you! You better go and steal that girl, make her yours...

-_-
*facepalm*

Just about to comment, then realized you posted this already... what is with 'X years passed, yet the SL hasn't confessed'.... -__-

Please feel free to add to this monstrous list! ^_^

So far, Mr. Queen has set the record for being the MOTHER of all love triangles.....

yes, but also more than that :)

Xiumin to sing the new OST (no. 7) for Mr. Queen to be released on 31st January! ^^
Mr. Queen got the honor of his first comeback-song after MS! yayyyy! :D :D

I wish his OST is 'how do you do'.... :D

You're absolutely right... PBG's character in Moonlight is actually Mr. Queen's Dowager Queen's (cult-lady's) husband who died young. So since Mr. queen is set in the same dynasty, only one generation below, plus the fact they have kept things light so far... is a good indication we're in safe hands!... ;D
Thanks for you reassurance! ^^

No, I don't want that (tragic, doomed love).... I don't want them to hetero-wash it either T_T

As per history, the year 1851 when CJ marries Cheorin, he's 21 and she's 16. He ascended the throne at 19, and dies at 32. Cheorin spends years alone and she dies at 41, 14 years after CJ dies T_T
I'm really curious how they will stick to history, yet resolve our time-travel bit, AND give us a happy-ending in the process.. please Drama-Gods, make it come true... I promise i'll rate it a TEN! ^_^

Then too bad, they really missed out..
Netflix, if you're reading this, please pick Mr. Queen up for international audience like you picked up 18 again! :3

Noh, if So-Yong and Cheoljong get together and spend happy days in anonymity, Bong-Hwan would be left all alone in 2021 T_T I'm hoping the writers decide not to make him too sad, maybe give him a Cheoljong-reincarnation to stay happy with! :3
