From what ep 14 showed, I think1. his wife found out about him liking Do Ha. There was a female voice during his confrontation with Sol Hee outside his office, talking about liking Do Ha. I believe that was his wife's words, subtly mixed in to connect about the divorce.2. Never mentioned. But it was shown that Solhee inherited the lie detector ability from her Dad. so, he might have wanted to live in seclusion because of that ability, and perhaps, to get away from his ex wife who's still into him. 3. Ep 14 revealed this. They're friends since middle school but not that close. It implied that they got closer post Eom Ji missing case, when Deuk Chan helped him out with the alibi and hiding in Seoul. He also bought DoHa some musical instruments just after he mentioned once that he's into musicz which basically started his career. Do Ha might have gravitated to him as he was his only friend left.4. I still think he won't give up easily on his career, especially now that his brother finally has the confidence in songwriting, and that Do Ha promised that he'll write songs for him in the future. So we might see more of him and his brother.For the last part, I believe eps 15 and 16 will be focused on romance. I actually like how they started the romance pretty early then sandwhiched the ramping of the murder case, then resolution/romance again. But to each his own.

The SML here is actually a decent one.
He understands boundaries and is pretty mature, to a fault (he acts like her big brother).
He can't stop himself from looking out for Solhee though considering the ML is a murder suspect and the case looks suspicious to him.
Nonetheless, he's okay.

Thank you for saying this. I always feel bad reading comments about his acting but we can't please everyone. In real life, Minhyun is actually extroverted that's why acting introverted and managed to deliver, made him a good actor in my book. Not everyone can pull that off. And I like that you pointed out how he was able to maintain that shy and aloof demeanor all through out. His acting is pretty decent, which makes me want to watch out for his future projects considering he's just a rookie in the acting industry.

So the ring was actually for Deuk Chan himself, so he would feel that he's matching rings with Seung Ju. 🥺🥺
Poor Deuk Chan. I know he's the murderer but I can't help but sympathize for him. He must have struggled so much for being gay.

It was revealed that he's been stalking Eom Ji and liked her for years. So people tagged him as possible murderer.

Gosh, what a packed episode!!!!!

It seems like it

For an epic/historical drama with a serious tone, yes.
It is somehow the overall theme of the drama but the show also highlights the struggles of the palace court, the nobles, and the common folks of those times, so there were parts where romance was placed in the back burner.

question, why would you allow yourself to be affected by the opinion of others though?
don't you want to experience it yourself?
Opinions will always be subjective and that's the beauty of it.

If you check on the comments, some do not enjoy the mystery plot, whereas some like myself are enjoying it thoroughly. There are some who also came for the romance and are satisfied, while most are dissatisfied due to how the events are going.


Anyway, to answer your question, as again, this is my personal opinion, I like it so far and no, you should not discontinue it. Perhaps you'll find enjoy it as well.


If you still think it isn't your cup of tea after watching a few eps then by all means, drop it.

6.1??? LOL in real life, you'd all choose the mature Hye Yeong than Sun Oh, if you're sane enough.

S2 made a good way of emphasizing that the characters matured and as we grow, all we want to achieve is peace.
Jojo found that in Hye Yeong.
Their timelines did not merge too.

Sun Oh, however endearing he is to me, cheated on his gf for Jojo, and is still super stuck with their highschool timeline. He need to heal, not with Jojo, not with anyone, but with himself alone.

You're right about the most part but this one was set in the Goguryeo era though, wayyy before Joseon dynasty.

yes

yes

In ep 13 where they finally got reunited, while they were having lunch and catching up, her Dad said along the lines of "if not because of what I passed down to you" in reference to her lie detector ability

Perhaps because Do Ha was In Seoul most of the time. JC might be lingering on Eom Ji while he was away.And considering the tendency of Eom Ji to hide secrets from him due to embarrassment, this must be one of them.


I mean, she didn't even confide to him how she was abused by her Father, so nothing prevents her from keeping this stalker thing from Do Ha too.

So we were right, Seol Hee's father can also hear lies!
I wonder how his ears might have hurt when his wife started becoming a con artist.

It was mentioned subtly when she was on a call with SY and his mom went inside his room and asked him to hangout with her. HJ overheard it and felt envious, saying (to herself) along the lines of how lucky he is to grow up with a Mom.

Why would he be a cheater if he didn't have a girlfriend then to begin with? I mean, nice theory there, but I don't remember JC shown to have a gf back then.
What was established was that he was so into Eom Ji, stalking her even.

Yes, he's still alive, and with ep.13, he's not the Murderer. He's simply a disgrace who was after his daughter's insurance money.
He even knew that she had a stalker but kept that fact from the police because they might use it in evidence for suicide.
