BTW, it's Taiost practices and spelt Taoism :)

i rated this a 10 at quarter mark, but slashed down to 8 after the unhappy closure. Almost everyone died except Zhegu, Chen and his lead follower. The sweetie Hua Ling was killed by Chen. Yangren got killed by the giant centipede while protecting his Xishiong. But i'm surprised how Chen could recover from the infected bite so fast after regaining consciousness...

LOL the intro of Russian gentleman in Ep 9 to stir some jealousy sparks!

yeah, let's hope for the best in terms of AGC+NJH+AYB :) As for JJH, hope he doesn't die from stab wound but still serve his deserved punishment ;)

Chingu, the rooftop scene shows him falling downwards with the golden bag at his side on rooftop. Was that really a dream or reality? The next scene dropping off sofa is like the opening of how it all started...

Yes, in Ep 16 preview the trophy & shoes are in the golden bag. So, it's AGC who took the items.

Don't really know what to think now. Seems the scriptwriter aims to confuse us by simply putting in all those scenes to throw us off and to make us keep guessing whodunit...

wow, you really dig into this. Ok let me rerun ep 1 and 15. I've forgotten all about the opening scene. Get back to you later

The ending here again is to each own conclusion - how you would like to interpret the last two minutes at the restaurant and in the street. #1 why did she give away the pendant? Because she did not hate or long for him anymore and didn't need the momento? #2 Her face brightening up when she heard the kids calling for emperor? #3 Her sense of emperor's presence in the area. #4 While she got up looking around for a familiar face sensing his presence, she didn't take off to avoid him. Like as though hoping he was really there...

After all the fun and laughter up to 14, i skipped straight to 24 as i was too eager to know the ending. I'm so glad i did that! What an ending! Why must the ending follow closely to the novel?!

Interesting storyline, but found the acting a little stiff. Maybe that's Japanese acting style...

Under normal non kdrama circumstances, it will have them back together as one happy family. But kdramas known for its twisted and cliffhanger endings, will need to see the development in 15...

Thanks Chingu for the translation. I'll answer separately.

Hey Chingu, Ep15/16 trailer @youtube has no subs, so need yr info please. What's going to happen?

oh, i already eliminated all the above speculations when i wrote to you earlier on what i thought could have happened to JGS :)

Well, whether intentionally or unintentionally, JJH's main objective is to hurt both NJH & AGC as deeply as possible.

ok, may be i'm wrong but here's what i think happened.
First, he went to the apartment to bug the room & hall as well as to find the laptop/drive/phone etc for the photos.

After NJH left the apartment hurriedly, JJH came out of closet to confront JGS or he hit him in his rage...

JJH then went around the unit to remove the bugs before dragged JGS to the shower. Just in case JGS is just knocked out only, JJH banged his head hard againt the basin and to stage it like he fell during shower.

Assumption on the basis that the masked man seems to be in the same type of outifit as JJH.

hey, in the private conversation, AGC told JJH not to confess he's the killer even if he's really the killer, because he should be the one protecting NJH instead.

hey Chingu, JaeHoon could really be planning to hurt AYB or cause further heartache to AGC+NJH since he replied to BHS that it's just the beginning when BHS told him to stop.

re on the closing scene of Ep12, don't remember seeing AGC finding the red shoes and stuff... It shows only AGC opening the secret compartment...

She's already suggesting divorce before YB accident. Maybe that accident would pull them together!

Absurd it may be, i'm still suspecting JH's ex-wife is cooking up something up her sleeves against Junghae.

Since JH also bugged his own home, it's probably him who bugged that unit to spy on him. But how come he still need to search the room upon entry like as though searching around...

yes, looks like it. Maybe JH is those type who can still remain calm, though shock in disbelief & hurt that hubby would think that way. While others would probably go into frenzy and angry at being suspected if it's not...
