There is nowhere written the word ''concubine''.
Care to provide the official Korean chart so I can check? :)

Where is the concubine named? Court Lady is named as court lady only based on the chart above....

Now that the Satan's snakes are free from Ji Won, she can finally focus on her own happiness!

Do u know where I can read the webtoon? Can be in Korean :)

Hmmm, in terms of them becoming dark heroes and getting revenge yes, but Vigilante as a character is completely different from Yi Tang.

Finally a series where we follow the birth of a killer! Usually with crime TV series, we already follow a full fledged killer, but not this time ~

U should be scared of episode four far more :)

to get them together, since she has to pass her tragic ending to them :)
those trash bags got together by cheating, so the pattern cannot change too much if she wants to succeed in passing her fate on Su Min.

it finished airing just now.

His death was abrupt thus no written last will, which was talked about in the drama and was the main conflict of the episode.
You are right, he didn't specifically say that Yi In can't be a king, and at the same time, didn't give him approval for it either, just like Yi In stated his brother did - which thus, was a lie.

I honestly can't even think the old king was thinking about regency, because he was against China holding such power over Korea. After all he despised the idea of Yi In inherting the throne.

She can mess with it, because she has huge advantage - she knows the future. If I were in her shoes, I would do the same thing and would be more vile.

I know. I simply replied to OG, because OG said the old king died without stating his sucessor, which is wrong.

Either alive as a prisoner of China or dead. Probably dead cause who would be lenient towards person who sent out a spy?

We do not know this info.

He did name his successor - his son. Yi In lied about the king's last words. The true last words were: catch the one who poisoned me and make my son the royal heir.

U are IN for a treat if you watch Princess' Man.
It is an oldie, but they honestly do not make such dramas anymore?
The revenge plot goes throughout almost whole series and the male is....very tough and I cheered on him :)
Till this day it is one of my fav historical drama.

Hmmm from sageuk genre I think you should give Drama Special 12: The palace a chance! It is a short movie, but oh so good in my opinion! Also I didn't see ''Duelist'' on your list and I think it is a hidden gem. yes, it is old, but this has such GOOD enemies to kinda lovers like....very poetic! It is my fav movie of all time. The ultimate royal romance would be a kdrama classic Moon embracing the sun that is chef's kiss! ''Princess' Man'' is also kdrama classic which centers around revenge and oh it is very emotional and intense. Basically the main lead wants to avenge his family and kill the daughter of his enemy, which he was to marry before. If you are more into Robin Hood stories, than ''Rebel: the thief who stole the people'' is amaaaazing retelling of original Korean tale, and has verrrry good slow burn romance!

And what recs do I want? Hmmm, forbidden romance set in historical period? Something serious and heart tugging? So many historical dramas have comedy, and I am not too fond of that. Could be something other than Korean :)

The tickets for train kinda say that it is a happy ending.

The new king moved his sister-in-law and nephew in order to protect them.
If they stayed, some ministers who were loyal to the old king could possibly demand his son to be put on the throne since they would consider him as a ''rightful'' owner. We can be happy that the new king didn't order their death. In past it wasn't shocking when the king would crumble under the demands of his court and send his closest family to death to ensure his right to the throne.

On your last point, it is very easy to explain. Back than, female did not hold such political power to converse with higher ups even when FL is a daughter of ex-minister. Being woman was a disadvantage back than and the only way she can get closer to the monarch is only by being a man. Remember, the king is looking for a badeuk player and there is no place for woman for that.

Yes, but the angst radar is like off charts....
I also think that I should not lose hope because the angst started very early in the show, but how are they going to solve everything phuuuu....cant imagine.
Another fact we should consider is the real history behind this drama. Yes, it is fictious and all names are made up, but it heavily implies that the main lead is king Hyojong, who died at the early age of 39 due to either poisoning, or diabetes.
