The king is completely unhinged and with every episode it feels more and more inevitable that he has to be overthrown. He is cruel, self centered and has absolutely no concern for his people. In a way, the Left State Councilor was right. The king only wants flatterers and constant yes sayers. He cannot stand being advised or corrected in any way. He has chosen a path with no return...
And honestly, I just feel so bad for Yi Yeol. He is basically being forced into treason just to stop this madness. He should never have to carry that kind of burden :(
Also… the SML. I am sorry, but it seems like he learnt absolutely nothing. He still sees women as objects and people as divided by class and birth. I really cannot stand that about him. I love the actor, yes he is gorgeous and handsome, but that is not a free pass to excuse his constant toxicity. Every time I think, okay maybe he is changing, he just goes and proves me wrong again. It is so frustrating...
Also why would he go out of his way to save his abusive father? ... he's dumb and arrogant, scared of losing his noble status.
Just watched yesterday’s episode and another good one! The fact that this drama isn’t even in the top five airing dramas just proves again how irrelevant MDL ratings can be lol
So it seems like things are heading into darker and angstier territory again. I honestly hoped the king was only a tyrant because of the drugs, but now it seems like he was already unhinged even in the past? Or was he under influence back then too?
Also as much as I hate him, I really don’t want Yi Yeol to become king. He’s such a free spirit and deserves so much more than a life trapped in a golden cage. That’s why it felt especially sad and frustrating that Eun Jo didn’t even ask him whether he actually wanted the throne.
Yi Yeol loves Eun Jo and while I do believe Eun Jo loves him as well... she loves the people more. And I do understand that… but I really don’t want the ML to end up living a miserable life on the throne, burdened by treason and his brother’s death. That’s way too heavy for someone as genuinely good as him. He deserves better.
I'm wondering who the other princes are? They were never introduced, were they?
Also the fact that they wrote such a genuinely lovable SFL is such a breath of fresh air. For that alone, this drama gets a big thumbs up from me haha
I feel sad for the FL, but I feel even sadder for the ML. Even if his brother tried to protect him, he still abandoned him in the end. He could have tried to make amends when they were older, but for whatever reason, he didn’t. That was wrong and now the ML will never get closure. That’s honestly heartbreaking.
I completely understand his stance. He isn’t obligated to have any kind of relationship with them nor take care of the baby. The fact that he even attended the funeral and stayed as a mourner was already generous, imo.
Excited to see how they’ll end up living together to take care of Woo Joo. That little baby is sooo cute!
I’ll definitely keep watching and can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode :D
This drama is sooooo good! It's been a while that I've been so glued to a historical Kdrama. It's so rare to see such a green flag ML in a historical Kdrama. I really, really love the ML here.
tbh I think the body swap is quite unnecessary cus it's very entertaining even without it and I'd actually prefer it without the fantasy arc, but well, still really good drama! I'm glad I gave it a try. It's actually getting better ep by ep and there was genuinely not a boring scene so far.
So much negativity in the comments. I actually liked the latest two episodes :D This drama and "To my beloved thief" are the currently airing Kdramas I actually look forward to the most. Maybe I'm weird, but who cares XD
But I guess I won't tune into comment section for a while. All the negativity ruining my happy vibes 😂
I think I've never seen Gulnezer in a drama as a lead role before, but I absolutely love her in this one! She's perfect as Shan Bao! Are there any other dramas of hers worth watching?
I really can't figure out any of the characters. Nothing and no one seems as it is. Everyone schemes. Everything is so unpredictable in this drama. The writing is really intriguing, keeping you on edge the whole time.
𝐈𝐃𝐂 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐲..BUT fans who get genuinely…
Totally agree. I am a passionate fan myself, but I never understood that intense obsession some people have over the artists they like. Whenever dating news came out, I was not upset because they were seeing someone. I felt sad because something so normal and human could put them in such a difficult situation, even maybe costing their career and fame.
It still annoys me that they call it a dating "scandal", as if it were on the same level as an actual crime. I just cannot understand this nonsense. Loving someone is never ever a bad thing in this world.
they r living in the same house and maybe he thinks he is older
True, but u don't automatically speak informal then. I was also surprised that Ra Ik and Chung Jae were so casual with each other and Ra Ik is also speaking informally to him. I can't even remember when they were introduced to each other lol
Seems like all the scenes of the beginning of them living together were off-screen haha
Why is he speaking informally (banmal) to her? She’s still using formal speech (jondaemal) with him. Isn’t it a bit rude and weird to speak casually with someone you barely know, especially your lawyer? 😅
I'm stuck at ep. 4… hmm, maybe it’s not my cup of tea. It all feels like something I’ve seen a dozen times already. Pretty generic Xianxia plot, tropes and characters... But I enjoy the demon-world setting. I usually love this kind of world-built. CGI and cinematography are also pretty good.
Not sure yet if I’ll continue… I do like the cast though, so maybe I’ll just let it marinate a bit and give it another try later. Sometimes you’re just in the mood for clichés and sometimes you aren’t :D
It’s been a while since I watched this drama, but as far as I remember there aren’t any actual couples. A kiss scene doesn’t automatically mean anything. Let’s just say certain characters had their reasons to kiss lol There’s definitely something going on in a few cases, but it never turns into something real.
So if you’re hoping to see confirmed couples or real romance, you won’t find that here. But like I said… the chemistry between Jenna and Jae Hyuk was absolutely on fire 🔥
As a romance fan, I'd recommend it either way. The story was pretty good and the acting was also amazing! :) And chemistry better than in romance ones :D
