Netflix totally sucks with translation honestly....like i am always a bit nit-picky with modern drama but with…
I would have to rewatch the scene, but in terms of translation of the title, ''sejak'' is a historicsm I guess, because it was specifically used in past for ''spies''. In terms of the second word, it's root is 매혹 truly meaning ''fascination'', but also commonly used as ''lure'' or even ''enchanting''.

Oftentimes, I do think that this drama views the word more like ''lure'', ''alluring'' or ''enchanting'' rather than fascinating or captivating. I guess they used ''captivating'' because it does make sense with the baduk game, you hold the stones ''captive'' but....yeah...

Title Captivating the King Spoiler
I would've liked it if her revenge was solely to seduce him, make him regret and kill him off. Simple like that,…
Damn, than I won't be watching Bloody Heart =/ I like sageuks which have 50/50 ratio meaning 50% romance and 50% politics. Currently I am watching My dearest which everyone has been praising :)

You're more than welcome! You can contact me anytime ~~~

Title Captivating the King Spoiler
Just curious btw did anyone specifically say she's not in charge of the food? The sickly queen ssaid to Mong Woo…
She is definitely not preparing the food, because food was prepared by kitchen staff and she is of much higher rank, buuuut that doesn't mean that she cannot tamper with the drinks or food.

I think the remark was meant about sex, but that was proven to be invalid, since now eveeeeryone knows that the king never slept with Ring Ding Dong.

Sadly, seldom the women of King's could leave the palace.
Even if they left, they would still be prohibited from remarrying as they were still considered as King's woman.
I am till this day curious what Yi In did with the concubine which succumbed to shamanism to produce an heir. It was only said he kicked her out, but if he lowered her rank, or even stripped her from title is unknown.
How did you enjoy Bloody Heart btw? I heard it has a lot of politics :/

Is the timer off or is it really airing in a couple hours?
Who knows the poster clearly has 15.2 not 14.2.

Hellooooo ~
So, if it's 1st junior rank, it should be ''Kwi In'' that would be the second highest rank in concubine system.
Idk which drama you are watching, but if the said concubine previously had title of 1st senior concubine that would be ''Bin'' which is the highest concubine rank.

Hope it helped :)
Let me know if you need more clarification.

Random question but what is the position of Park Jong-hwan? He is referred to as "principal director" but not…
Netflix totally sucks with translation honestly....like i am always a bit nit-picky with modern drama but with this they totally flopped. If the subber doesnt know a term they should look it up and follow official translation of the title OR use the korean term and explain the term above the screen.

I forgot which one he is, but I think he is part of uijeongbu basically a state council.

It was watched over by three hmmm how should I call them, officers?

Chief state councillor (yeonguijeong)
Left state councillor (jwauijeong)
Right state councillor (uuijeong)

Of course the state council had more officials but these three were the top ones.

Pls do NOT mistake them with ministers. Ministry and State council were two different things.

In terms of ranking, state council was the top of the tops, they were basically head advisors in other words.

So the ranking of offices would be:

1. State council
2. Six ministries
3. Samsa
4. Minor offices

thats why i always feels that sports and romance are the genres which can't be mixed
I was so excited when I saw that it would be a drama about snooker, but not only they didn't focus on snooker much, but they showed a very fairy-tale like snooker. EP20 with the Chinese Open (which is a competition which has been discontinued since 2019) was totally ridiculous. Even skilled players often cannot do a break over 100 LOL. Also, idk if the lighting was wrong, but the balls were so....faded in color!

The snooker parts were so unrealistic.
Pro snooker players spend like sometimes over 8 hours daily practicing.
And the drama did not portrait the reality in which English players are on top of the ranking list.
They basically created a main character with skills of a top ranking snooker player, which is Ronnie O Sullivan.

Do you think the court lady is poisoning the queen in order to replace her? Even though she isn't the one serving…
Hard to say, but I do feel she is fishyyyy AF.
It was hate at first sight with her.

I love him so much! I laughed so hard at the scene where he yelled "don't ever use me for that sort of test again!"
I feel he reflects us - fans - so well hahaha.
In EP8 he was soooo done with the king haha.

Title Captivating the King Spoiler
Do we actually believe the king don’t have a plan in hand to help the grand princess out of the bethroment even…
Marriages between Qing and Joseon were very common.
So he could have had a plan, but didn't need one as well.
Yi In personally knew prince Rui so maybe he thought he wouldn't need to interfere since Rui ain't a bad man.

Title My Dearest
I am a bit hesitant to watch this.
Is the lovestory as deep as in Red Sleeve?
The rating is crazyyyy high and I am wondering if it's because of the romance.

We keep talking about main leads and evil characters that we totally forgot to mention our most trustful Golden retriever character - SANG HWA!

Gosh, how I love him!

Yi San's father Crown Prince Sado/Yi Seon has some real dark history. Wish I had read about him before watching…
I recommend reading the diary of Sado's wife over any tv series or movies.
