Why does it only have a score of 8? I mean many worse dramas have 8.3-8.5 rating...
Yes, I agree with you. I liked the beginning, because I dont bother watching dramas without any meaningful story, I mean it is great to watch something only for romance, but its better if it has a backstory. I guess this drama was more focused on romance in the last few eps, but it wasnt only enjoyable because of it. (eg the chefs career with many turns or the gangsters were a big part of it too, in my opinion more important than the romance)
Am I the only one who gets Cha Eun Woo vibes from Hwang Min Hyun? Also, started to miss him bc of this show.. (maybe miss the True Beauty era as well? However my heart still aches for Han Seo Jun..)
The one word that describes this drama perfectly is swoon-worthy (mostly because the Chinese-Korean dishes look so fantastic that one always gets hungry while watching). I loved everything about this drama, I literally never finish anything, because it gets boring after ep 8-9, but with this drama it felt different, the story had many turns and the main leads were killing it! I loved the romance, the main leads had so much chemistry (the kissing scenes were something, really). I was worried at the beginning that they would take the love triangle too far, but fortunately it was well written. I could watch Jun Ho and Ryeo Won cook for eternity. Im going to miss watching this drama :((
I mean the person his character portrayed became king in real life so that's the only path they could take so...…
Yes, his love for the FL made him likeable (and made the drama much more interesting to watch). Because of his mood swings I was never sure what to expect from him.. I was really shocked when he let her go. That was the scene where we learnt the depth of his love :( For a brief moment I could forgive him all the crimes he had done.. From then on I liked him more :) ofc his good looks also helped sympathising with him :P

Yes, I totally agree with you! Im glad though that I watched Run on before Nokdu, bc Kang Tae Oh was playing such a different role here :D Im amazed by his acting skills, the way he can act in one scene as the exact opposite as in another is truly mind blowing. He needs more dramas where hes not a "cute boy".

Well yes, if you are looking at it like that.. But still, being historically correct is not the most important thing in a drama.. Anyways, now that I thought of it this much, I like the ending :) It was a great show to watch
How did you like the ending? I think the endig was similar that of the Rookie Historian Goo Hae Rhyung, except…
And: If they made a wedding, why couldnt they make it without any mess? I mean it was fun to watch, but instead of a wedding scene they could have just showed that when they exchanged the flower rings.. (and make comedy elsewhere). It seem weird for me to have a wedding scene like this :D. They could have just shown that they have a child or something at the end.
How did you like the ending? I think the endig was similar that of the Rookie Historian Goo Hae Rhyung, except the fact that Yool Mu was not a simpathetic character for me. So I am partially satisfied but kind of sad that a negative character became the king ( I am happy that the og king was not in his position at the end, but would have preferred if someone else was enthroned (I dont mean Nok-Du (of course I would have liked it :P), but I can see that the ending for Yool Mu was meant in the way that it was actually a punishment.).
According to what was explained in ep 11, the manager tried to sell her off as a scort in order for her and OMEGA-3…
So you think that Jihak knew about the blackmailing? But then why didnt he tell Eunjo that the reason why they should end their relationship is because it put Annie at risk? (He only told him that he put SHAX in danger...) Im sure that he would have understood. (Or did Jihak believe that she was sponsored? So he did not want to hurt their relationship by exposing her to Eunjo? But still..) Maybe he thought that it was enough to warn Annie as she would break up with him?? He couldnt possibly have known her mental state.. (well I mean if he thought that she was doing the sponsoring willingly..(and he didnt know about the blackmailing)). I agree that Jihak didnt know that the one blackmailing Annie was mainly the CEO of NOG (thats why he was so suprised), because if he had known, he would have left NOG sooner and tell Eunjo about it right away.. (I think Jihak had a little part in the death of Annie.. I mean scaring her with those pictures did not really help, it only made Annie even more stressed (that is when she realised that she cant(?) escape from rumours). (ofc it was not intentional). Plus he didnt tell Eunjo..)
A sequel, what a great idea, I wish there was one!
