I love the premise of the drama way too much but Cjae Jong Hyeop whom i find to be a very reliable and grest actore felt very lackluster specially in the scenes with Eun Bin even N who is an idol turned actor does a better job but that asode i love the storyline... The child actors set the expectations way to high so I'm a bit disappointing here amd there but 12 eps will definitely feel too short now that we have already watched ep 11 as well. I will miss Mokha and Ranjoo, it was a healing journey all the members took starting from Kiho, Woohak, Ranjoo, Mokha, their mom literally everyone. The hero in this show for me was the selfless young and mature Kiho who gave up his savings to set Mokha free and their step dad who accepted them despite the fear and challenges, even life threats didn't make him lose his calm amd love for their mom and his step sons 🥺
For anyone looking for the summary Hosu, Jinwoo, Hosu's mom, the friend of Eunseo who got bullied, the bully, song pil all died Soo young is the new chef for the chairman Minyoung got to know that too and is happy to see she escaped unscathed
Um ngl I'm kinda glad when in ep 19 the friend of eun seo died. Deserved. BUT IM SO SORRY FOR JINWOO MY LOVE :((
Jinwoo's characte rhad such a plot hole I mean he was supposed to die so he indulged in drugs but in ep 18 when Hosu sees that he still had the 3 cookies meant that he didn't eat them like the rest students right? Then why did he eat the one So Young gave ?
This was on eof my most anticipated dramas of the year and the opening did NOT DISAPPOINT Mindblown...so much better than I actually anticipated earlier on.
The main villian was the insecurity of King Injo that pushed him not only to cast aside the son who literally willingly chose to be a captive for Qing but all he gets in return is to be called a traitor after his return and mysterious death....Even Qing treated him better than that for his resilience and intelligence... This made me realise just how many royal kids must have succumbed to the plots of the villains and so many remained unnamed just to save themselves from their evil plots or disregarded if they didn't show something extraordinary which in case of daughters was to be married into influence... As you grow up you realise the desire to become royalty that you have watching fairytales and Christmas movies growing up was based on your rose coloured glasses which as soon as they fell off you realise you're better off being a commoner with potential to soar high and achieve anything you want with your own efforts and not your Royal title cuz trust me that title comes with huge baggage.
It all came full circle...Jang Hyun who was treated as a selfish person by all but in reality he always cared, Gil Chae who was really the selfish one grew to become a wise, compassionate woman capable of protecting her one true love... All the character were beautifully written, the historical premise was so accurate that it was wonderful to witness. The way wen were abandoned for losing their dignity, the corrupted leaders who basically sold out thier own country...so on point and educating. It was a wonderful story...the love story was so well written without disregarding the political premise and feeling over the top.
Finally, it was who we all thought would be in the prison in the was beginning was Ryang Eun who let the historian know how the king and his own father painted Jang Hyun as the traitor. The 14 year old queen had no major value at the end and Concubine Cho ended up succeeding in Killing the Crown Prince who definitely had the potential to be the best King with a wise Queen but atleast our main couple are back together.
One question tho, What happened to the Crown Prince's heir that Gil Chae saved?
You're telling me Lee Hwi So survived only to be killed for no reason ?! Yes, I did throw all logic out of the window but I was here for Dami's revenge but now the story is scattered all over that it doesn't even make sense anymore ... Mo Ne you claim to really love him but you leave Do Hyuk in that condition REAL LOVE indeed but S2 will definitely make their ship sail again, just one word Disgusting... If that wasn't enough already, The only reason I'm watching this show is because of the actor of Do Hyuk's acting skills but I'm disappointed at how naive this supposedly GENIUS can be makes not even the sense of 2 cents 🙃
