Same; I don’t like to watch sad endings too. In any case, historically many royals don’t live long. YiSan upto 47 years only.

Drama could end where they get together. So a happy ending may be possible. Saw same Wiki page. 1st Consort Uli, - whose son was 1st CP died at age 4. 2nd Consort Su - whose son eventually became king. “Su” seems closer to “Sung” but there’s no mention of already a 1st consort in drama. 3rd Consort - from Hong clan (similar clan as current drama’s ambitious Hong Deok Ro. Possibly his sis?) There’s no such character in the cast on mydramalist. Guess we wait & see.

The king & CP should talk more, then trust more & work together to preserve status quo when the king obviously want the CP to succeed him ultimately, provided the latter doesn’t make him lose face. 🙄

I simply luv this drama.🙆🏻‍♀️ I dropped HCC after 1 or 2 episodes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agree, we wish but … see my comments below why he ain’t charged.

Perhaps is because he didn’t kill Dali’s dad. His inaction or stopped Dali’s cousin from helping Dali’s dad when the latter had a heart attack (which he died from) was immoral, uncompassionate, evil, hence the public regarded him as such & he lost his position in his company. Altho he may be the mastermind of the plot, but the drama didn’t show he did much, most of the manipulation & whatever tasks that were done up to that point were done by the Assemblyman. A possible more serious crime was the attempted killing of MK’s bro … he may have gotten away with that if the gangsters were not caught or refused to divulge who employed them.

1 of the best kdramas. No stupid troupes. Wrong doers get what they deserved & not grossed over like other kdramas. Dali’s rebuttal towards TJ was satisfying… “consistent, shameless, vulgar”, she should have added evil/cruel & uncompassionate. Ending part voiced over by CP was a great touch.

Saw Ep 16 clips re MooHak’s family on YouTube released by KBS is enough to piss me off.

I’m glad the drama redeemed itself in the end by having Yeon Joo plotted HSH’s downfall as she’s very capable, & smart unlike HSH who simply kill to get what she wants. HSH is evil to the core. I got sentimental at the scene where Yeon Joo bid Yoo Jun goodbye. He was definitely a godsend.😎 👍🏻

His dad could so long as he’s an authorised person for such transactions (chances are MK is holding corporate credit cards). Shareholding /control is separate from daily operations/functions. Eg, you could be a major shareholder of a company but you don’t necessarily have the power to execute certain business transactions as this is delegated to board of directors, managers etc., but these latter executives are answerable to shareholders.

A great plot point rarely seen in kdrama is that MK owns Dondon Holdings which control/owns Dondon F&B. Daebak! This clearly shows that it is mainly MK who built Dondon. Can’t believe step bro so stupid as not to know who are the shareholders in their family business, & rely on job titles, his being Chief Director while MK is a Director (i was surprised & puzzled when I saw the organisation chart few epis ago but now I understand why MK didn’t need to have a more senior role than his step-bro as he could fire his step-bro if he really wants to).

Is real unfortunate that this drama is not favoured more by kviewers. I luv this drama. MK’s dialogue is always so on point, meaningful, heartfelt, sincere & direct. Luv MK’s secretary, & colleagues at the museum have finally grew a backbone with integrity, loyalty. Wish writer let FL show a more steely character over time,

HSW said it was his friend who was at his father’s office doing some work that found the accounts discrepancies & told him, & he told his dad. Wasn’t SH leaving the factory when she supposedly hit YJ’s grandma? Her remark about it would be difficult for her uncle to escape the big fire could also mean she actually knew what already happened to her uncle, ie he’s already dead before the fire started (because the fireman said it was strange that it seemed there was no struggle made to open the factory gate/door & HSW’s dad was found lying flat on the ground instead of in a corner etc.). No autopsy was done too.

It was Dali’s cousin’s drugs, seemed rather hefty amounts so they must cost alot. Dali’s cousin knew & threatened to expose Na Gong Joo’s background unless she does what he say. Na Gong Joo only realised from Won Tak recently that Dali’s dad knew about her background all along & he was the one that got her free from her debts.

Wow Jin Moo Hak 🥰🙆🏻‍♀️😎. He’s not just understanding, kind, etc but the way he finesse the situation & addressed the adoption topic was simply awesome. From addressing his relationship with Chak Hee to Dali doesn’t or kinda resembles her dad that ultimately made her laugh & breathe was 1 of the best kdrama dialogue I’ve ever seen.

I like the show extremely but i keep wondering how can the leads underestimate the wickedness of the current Han family esp after LBS got killed in prison despite protection? Too naive when they alrdy know that family will kill to get what they want altho no evidence. i want to see FL beat Min-Na meanest sis-in-law at managing the hotel biz becos she can. Han family tries to be this highly cultured elite rich but they came across as most uncouth group of hyenas. Lastly, YooJun rocks, he was steadfastly strong in the face of Prosecutor Ryu’s threats to his family & him but can see he became vulnerable a bit when Prosecutor Ryu brought up fake Min-Na aka Yeo. Joo.

Ah I like Yoo Jun. 😎 Prosecutor Rye is amusing. Yeon Joo’s uncles are always hilariously looking for potential nephew-in-law. These kept the drama entertaining cos I’m not keen on watching family members just politicking over control/money/assets… is tiresome.

M guessing Assembly An gonna use useless cousin’s dad to drag /control DaLi & her museum.

Ep 10 was daebak, mad respect for the way MH handled/replied to TJ. Awesome. Great communication between CP abt the land issues so that there is no or less misunderstanding between them. 🙌🏻🙆🏻‍♀️😎

M totally not surprised by that snake Tae Jin 🐍. I don’t think it was extenuating circumstances that’s beyond TaeJin’s control that made him stopped the wedding. I think Dali’s dad realised it later & didn’t want anything to do with TaeJin thereafter. M guessing TaeJin’s ultimatum was the art gallery when Dali pleaded with him not to end things just days before the wedding, to which she couldn’t agree as it is her dad’s lifelong love & creation, otherwise she said she would agree to any/all of his demands.
