Woah, almost missed the k1xx part at the end of 12 as i usually change screen when they freeze the ending scene and start its OST!!!

while waiting for nx epis, you can catch kdrama Mr Queen ;)

Happy catching this drama filled by A-listed cast unlike other low budget production. Neo Hou is defintely the best actor for such a stoic, stern character in a romcom, followed by Alen Fang (The Love by Hypnotic (2019).

While Neo Hou's period look is a killer, he delivers his "calm stern scholar" character so amazingly well. Unlike other MLs in similar romcoms who are too stiff and woodblock in portraying such character. Well Done Neo!!!

Yeah, Neo Hou is certainly the best in such role as stoic, stern man but he's not awkward or stiff in performing that role, unlike other male leads in similar romcoms ^-^

oh dear, seems there'll be many obstacles ahead for the lovely couple :(

if you're looking for romcom, would highly recommend "The Love By Hypnotics".

Great! BTW, i'm now onto Neo Hou's new romcom "A Girl Like Me (2021)". It's still airing. The 1st 12 episodes are definitely worth catching ^-^

i'm now onto Neo Hou's new romcom "A Girl Like Me (2021) which is still airing. Don't know the ending but 1st 12 episodes definitely worth catching ^-^

the drama is subbed in dramacool.so

dramacool.so is working fine. Watching this from there ;)

Neo Hou did very well in his role as Rong Xia, so much better than P-H ^-^

i think Screenwriter purposely let that written letter to be left on his table so that she would come to find out that all those "lovely/fun" letters sent to her all came from King and not from one of her chosen concubines! ^-^

yup!

Yes, the king is now attracted to Queen for the strong weird character potrayed by Chef Jang BongHwan. However, it's not that he dislikes or hate SoYong. As a matter of fact, he did like Soyong when both were in the dark well. But because he mistook HwaJin standing infront of him on the ground as Soyong, the little girl in the well. He grew up liking the fake life savior. Besides, the Kim clan was the one who harmed his whole family. That's why he grew up hating the Kim family including Soyong in Kim clan.

if i remember correctly, the queen's soul is not even in Jang's body @hospital, so perhaps she's still somewhere inside her own body but BongHwan's soul is more dominant. During Dowager Queen's shaman exorcism and rival Han's attempt to finish off JBH, Jang's soul EXIT and then RETURN to Soyong's body... That short interruption of soul possession somehow triggered him to recollect queen's memory intermittently...

Hope this kdrama differs totally from the cdrama GPG :o)

yup, that last letter of the night was still on the table when he laid down to sleep.

btw, since you mentioned above "not sure potatoes existed in Joseon era". Here's an extract on wikipedia pertaining to Gamja-jeon, a Korean potato pancake.

"Potatoes may have been introduced in Korea either through the China–North Korea border at Tumen in 1824, or by the German missionary Karl Gützlaff via sea in 1832."

And since King Cheoljiong's reign was from 1849 to 1864, yes, potatoes were already in existence in Joseon era ^-^

Aren't you yourself taking it seriously too? Existence of potatoes in Joseon era?

As you've stated, it's a fantasy, an unrealistic drama. On top of that, it is a romcom. We won't enjoy it if we were to question the logical, plausible flow of this drama.

Don't remember it was mentioned that the three course meal was completed in 30mins. Or have I missed that?

yup chingus, JBH is a chef who's risen up the ranks & serving country’s top politicians in South Korean presidential residences. So, he had probably dealt with more critical emergency situations in his professional career than this...

Being the queen, she could have utilized as many maids & eunuchs as possible. But as this is a TV drama with limited time & space for an episode, the director can't be showing an ensemble of maids and eunuchs with tens of of pots and pans... However, viewers did get to see the chain of maids coming out with the first dish ^-^

Also, this is a banquet hosted for top officials. So, don't think she was cooking for 100 people...

Although the drama shows the finished food in the order of starter, main and dessert, it doesn't necessarily mean that food was prepared in that order. I mean, she could have also prepared the dessert in between if she knew that require longer cooking time. Also, that is not a jelly per se... I'm assuming it is a type of asian cake that is steamed (❁´◡`❁)
