A lot of things in the drama is an irony. The drama focuses on Tung's acting career but in the end, Yi Lu is the one who shines and even goes overseas with her theater group. Also, the last thing he told her "Remember what I told you, even if you have changed, I'll never change." The irony is she changed to be a theater star in the end, but he never changed in his acting career.
I think it's an irony. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband to always do what she wants including committing crimes. In this drama, Yi Lu always believes in Tung and does everything for him.
People here talking about the cringey things in this drama. The cringiest thing for me is seeing Jiu Li frequent Hao Liang's campus wearing a formal suit. At my place, only the university presidents and top academic leaders wear suits every day on campus. The lecturers wear casual clothes. No wonder Hao Liang avoids him at all costs, hahaha.
The head thing is ott imo. Spoiler below is my reason ⬇️
Ji Ahn shot Sung Jo in the chest. He died, but not that a giant blade fell on him or anything like that. So who the heck chopped off Sung Jo's head? Ji Ahn clearly has a trauma experience with Honda's chopped-off hand when she was little, so I doubt that now she is barbaric enough to do it. Brother is way too timid and he is not a killer. They are the only two who are together at the same place with the dead Sung Jo. Min Hye and Pasin are hiding somewhere else. They don't know anything about Ji Ahn and Brother's situation until Ji Ahn's announcement.
I know that in ancient days people used chopped-off heads as a present, threat, or bargain. That was what Ji Ahn exactly used to bargain with the Babylon team that came later. But showing it in modern days is kinda odd. Especially after we saw Ji Ahn was shocked after doing the first killing. Then she chopped off someone's head??? 🤔🤦
SY always have a plan B and C and D ... i have no idea about how can SH bring him down . I just watched ep 10…
Yoong always has plans B, C, D, etc, because he has plotted to take over the throne for a long time no wonder he strategies many scenarios. Different than Hyun, he never wants the power anyway, so he never planned anything. The throne change because of the Father's death was unforeseen for Hyun. Ak Hee also doesn't have any plan because he's Hyun's alter ego. He just goes with the flow.
What even is this?! One is paralyzed and the other is having vision problems?Why do I always have to feel bad…
Although that might be the side effect of the tranquilizer dart, it probably turns out good for Ak Hee having a vision problem. Other people can already tell the difference between Ak Hee and Hyun because of their gaze, now with everything blurry, Ak Hee no longer stares at people.
he's a genius, but way too naive. he probably thought that putting that jerk locked would solve everything
Well, he's right in resolving that accusation on the spot. But he also told Eunuch and BG to keep an eye on Yoong in the prison, cos he suspects Yoong will try hard to get out of there.
I was thinking a lot yesterday after watching Ep 10 on how Sajo Yoong's accusation of the evil spirit identity will be resolved. Ak Hee putting up such a dramatic show, lol!
