It would be concidered rape if she was that drunk that she was about to pass out, such person cannot say no. Which…
and then, as a 'man to man' thing, he admitted the King has some 'serious talent' in bed. and he justified not just with *his own reaction* but as someone who has actively slept around with multiple women before... kkkk
Absolutely. I'm a tad puzzled on their policy because they eventually picked up 18 again after it got some buzz and finished airing. Altho Mr Queen has hit its midway mark recently... so it could be possible they might pick it up later. I thought the Kingdom's usp was the zombies and not the saeguk! xD Anyhow, with their recent choices like the Lovestruck, Heirs and Startup, Nurse Files (which didn't perform critically)... I'm genuinely interested in their SK-content policy! But then again, it's wrong to expect every Netflix k-drama to explode like CLOY
netflix saw saeguk and hit the skip button. somebody needs to give them a memo, saeguks can be popular too xD i know, it's breaking records in Korea, and as it should... well deserved :D
I became an anti-fan for Mr. Queen! ^^This drama is the one which I enjoyed THE MOST!!I became an anti-fan for…
You know WHY she's SO good at behaving like BongHwan? In her BTS, she actually possesses a 'bro', 'cool-dude' kind of a body language :O I was shocked to see a dainty girl behave like that off-camera. Infact, I thought SHS's IRL persona is close to So-young...but NOPE. She IS So-Bong (the mixture of both)... Her performance reminds me of Megan Lai from Bromance. She did a phenomenal job too...!! ^^ Infact if you know of Cecilia Liu (Liu Shishi).... from Scarlet Heart (china)... she has a similar dainty frame, but a 'dude' body-language too!.. It's HILARIOUS to watch xD xD xD kkkk!
It was drunk-sex definitely. But was it non-consensual? She very actively participated in it, and was even a 'tigress'…
You clearly brought up my country and age. and *that* was getting personal. If your idea of answering to a rhetoric is bringing up someone's nationality and age in the guise of explaining a concept to them, then sure, you got your point across. And I'm sure, that made your day :D

Wait, no, Bong Hwan distinctly remembers it was the King. She thought it was Hong Yeon first, but then she *saw* the King and proceeded regardless. Okay, I agree, drunk-sex is non-consensual sex. Because you can't give consent, or the consent you give, is not valid. Hmm. The questions I posed earlier were rhetorical, like, 'is every drunk-sex non-consensual, and thereby a rape?' But thanks for explaining your point by getting personal.. -_-

Rape is non-consensual sex right? Not giving consent means saying no... if she was getting raped, why was she actively participating in it? Did she resist and say 'no', and maybe I missed something? :O Now I need to know!
Err, regarding the court-politics bit. Yes, every drama that is set against the backdrop of the royal-court (both chinese and korean) WILL have some amount 'game of thrones' going on. Almost ALL of them will use the initial episodes to establish facts, positions, allegiances, conspiracies, and plans to break the status quo. However, after this 'warming up' period, sh*t actually starts quickly hitting the fan, as you get to see all the stuff that was talked/ discussed/ planned since the initial episodes play out for real. And it turns ugly (and fun) REAL FAST. The back-stabbing, double-crossing and out-maneuvering is simple enough to follow, but not dumb enough to make you think: 'how are these idiots even *alive*?' Mr. Queen follows a similar plot-progression. Apart from a small speed-breaker around the 6/7 ep... we are going full-throttle into the meat of the story. The coming weeks will *only* be better.... The politics isn't heavy, and the comic-relief is literally, the *other half* of the plot! :P
So people, if you're having second thoughts... jump right into it. No regrets. Plus the MDL comment section is FUN! ^^ See you! :)
Okay this lost me, I didn't want it to be true but they passed the nonconsensual drunk sex as humorous and lighthearted.…
It was drunk-sex definitely. But was it non-consensual? She very actively participated in it, and was even a 'tigress' in bed. Also, regarding the identity confusion (whether the Queen thought it was Hong Yeon or the King).... we clearly see the next morning in her monologue that she distinctly remembers proceeding ahead with the King (and not her maid), because her fuzzy-eyesight corrects itself (and she sees the King's face)... yet she goes ahead and rips off his shirt. So yeah, it was consensual (unless any form of drunk-sex is non-consensual, because intoxicated people can't give consent).... and it's established she saw the King, acknowledged it was him, and went ahead, nonetheless.
it's because in China, time travel genre is banned by govt in past years. that's why most of them ended up messy…
apparently, there were 'copy-cat' suicide attempts IRL, of girls wanting to 'escape' their reality, and end up in a fictional dynasty, being romanced by a prince and what not.... yeah, it's crazy. hence, the state intervened, and effectively banned all transmigration content
The King's the whole family was killed by Kim Clan.Great Queen Dowager Sunwon from Kim clan is the King's grandmother…
--Yup, GQD (picky granny) is the mother in law of QD (cult-lady)... GQD's only son married QD, died very young before he could inherit the throne, but left behind a son. --After GQD's husband dies, QD's son (who is also GQD's grandson) inherits the throne.... he is very quickly removed by poisoning, because as a young boy, he was doing the bidding of his mother's clan (the Jo-clan). It's suspected GQD and the Kim clan removed him (yes, picky granny was involved in murdering her own grandson) --Leaving no direct heirs behind, Cheoljong, a distant relative of GQD's husband's family, is picked out from exile, and is 'adopted' by GQD (who is his regent-ruler).. before QD gets to adopt him. Hence, Cheoljong is 'expected' to do the bidding of Kim-clan. --So yeah, picky-granny is the mom-in-law of cult-lady. --Since QD never really became a queen in her own right (her husband passed away young, and her son ends up inheriting the throne)... her status is that of a 'Queen Mother' --Whereas, GQD herself was the Queen (wife of 2 emperors before Cheoljong). As a widow of a prev King, she has the status of the 'Dowager Queen', and thus one-up in terms of age and ranking seniority to the QD.
Haha me neitherrr. I saw the cast list. Thought his name sounded Tibetan (i have lots of friends)....immediately remembered Liang Jie's engaged to a Tibetan guy, so googled her fiance...and boom, it's the same person!! Hair and costuming makes soo much difference right?! :)
