OMG!!! Can I just say how much I loved this drama. Yeah, I get it everyone doesn't feel the same way, and that is to be expected. But I was one that said on the first episode that the jury was still out, and man, did it turn out to be a good drama. Loved it!!
Such outstanding performances -- especially from Jo Jung Suk and Shin Sae Kyeong. The whole cast, crew and those who never get mentioned behind the scenes--amazing job and well done! I have to say I still love my sweetie pie the Crown Prince, he is the cutest boy. Loving him!!
Thank you again for truly captivating us each week.
Kudos...and the parting words from Li and KMW!
KMW: "Your Majesty." Li: "What took you so long? I have been waiting for hours." KMW: "Did you know I would come by this place?" Li: "There is nothing I do not know about you. Myung-ha told me that you would pass by this place. Were you truly planning to leave without seeing me? Do not tell me...you have found another lover." KMW: "I have no room for another. How is it that you are still alone, Your Majesty?" Li: "What do you mean? I was never alone. I always had you...in my heart, Mong-woo." KMW: "To tell the truth, I thought a mongwoo just might grant me a chance to see you." Li: "So you were planning to wait until there was rain? And here I was, dying to see you. I guess you did not miss me as much, Starts taking off his hat... Li: "whether mongwoo, snow, sprinkle, or leaves fall from the sky, it does not matter anymore. I will no longer wait for you...while aimlessly looking up at the sky, Goes in for the kiss!!! Yes!!! Start sighing... Li: "Prepare yourself. I will beat you this time and have you say your name." KMW: "It is Kang Hee-soo." Li: "Kang Hee-soo. So that is the name that I longed for and sought after even in my dreams. Hee-soo. I will no longer be separated from you and spend the rest of my life with you."
As they sat under the tree smiling at each other playing baduk...
Yeah I think the husband is still investigating but doing under the guise of being a correspondent far away. I…
@DiamondPrinceza you know who I thought it was, the lady next door. You saw how she gave her a look and I guess that was her son on the bike, if you know someone that is your neighbor and you see them, don’t you speak. She just smiled at the boy but there didn’t seem to be an familiarity.
I, at first, thought the Congressman had a vid of a woman coming out of the house or him with another woman. Maybr him popping too many pills?
I can’t wait to see him come back and all of them working together.
Yes...LSY gave SZ a kiss but is not sure if he dreamt it or it was for real. I have to say, I thought that SR would be better match for him, but I am kinda feeling that SZ is a better match right now.
Speaking of our sister gurl SR, girl is in big time trouble now. LD is going cray-cray. They rolled up some other chick to his place. I mean, what does this guy have? The other girl feels because she is pregnant, she has more say so. NOT! SR is just chilling. She got those divorce papers ready. But hold up...did we see that LD is a bigamist! WTH? You know he tries to kill her and makes our man ZSA choose between SR and the ledger. Is that really a choice for him.
We have SR telling LSY to not be in the relationship anymore. We have a new guy trying to break them up. Can we just have a couple make it through without another player involved.
I can only say that KNJ is playing this part. For real. The grief, anguish and just heart wrenching sorrow tore up my heart. I mean I find myself crying over what not just her, but everyone felt at this devastating loss. To lose a child, man, I'm getting choked up again. It is just so much to bear.
But I honestly, would have done the same thing that she did. Not feeling wanting any leniency. She was just empty. I probably would be in a "zombie state" just like her. The sewing machine was just evidence of that. This is such a deep-rooted loss all around. To see how corrupt the system was to just basically say, yeah, ya did but, we are going to let you off. Hell yeah, I would have ran his ass over too.
Does anyone think they know what congressman showed her husband that he caved in. I don't think he did all the way. I think he is still going to be investigating. I hope he comes back to be with ESH.
What an episode so much going on. Folks poisoned and dying left and right. Too much! I mean I'm going to be a nervous wreck the last episode.
We left off with CLD getting ready to give the poison kiss to our man Li. Yeah, we all knew that wasn't going to happen. But what we all didn't know is that CLD loved this man hard! I mean HARD! You all hear me. Girlfriend ate that poison, yes, she did. Give it up to CLD people. Sacrifice for our man at every turn. Her final departing words, Farewell CLD.
CLD: "Do you still...find me unworthy? Is it because of the crime I committed?" Li: "That crime is not solely yours. My brother and I had a hand in it...as well as the Queen Dowager and the Principal Director. I refuse to accept your affection...for claiming you as mine would be reprehensible in that I would be exploiting you and hurting you yet again. Do you resent me? " CLD: "Your Majesty. To speak the truth, I knew that you would refuse my final request. Knowing your true nature...might have been what led me to love you. " At this point she is just spitting up blood. Li is like WTH. Li: "This cannot be. Did you take poison? Is anyone outside? Eunuch Kim! Why are you standing there. Bring the royal physician immediately! Why in heaven's name would you take poison?" CLD: "Your Majesty. I have received an order to kill you. I was told that you would never forgive me for harming the late king and that this was the only way for me to survive. I was also told that if you forgive me, you would become a depraved tyrant who forsook the bond set by the heavens." Li: "You were coerced. Who was it? Was it the Queen Dowager or the Principal Director? What made you change your mind? Why did you take the poison instead of using it to kill me?" CLD: "Your Majesty. My lifelong wish...was to be loved by you. However, what I desired and hoped for more was to protect you until the end of my days. Your Majesty. Since the day you promised to grant all my requests, I have wished...to say these words to you one day." Li: "What are they? " CLD: "Your Majesty. I have...no more...request to make." Li: "Senior Court Lady Dong."
Now that we have CLD who was protecting our man Li gone, we have to deal with Queen Park hanging in her palace side court tripping on Li getting ready to hold the interrogation which will basically put the end to PJH.
QP: "You Majesty. Why is there blood on you?" Li: "This blood is not mine, but Senior Court Lady Dong's." QP: "Senior Court Lady Dong's? What do you mean?" Li: "She is dead. She received an order to poison me just like my brother, but she could not bring herself to follow the order and took the poison herself and died. " QP is thinking about her conversation with PJH. Li: "Mother. I do not understand how you could remain silent at the news of a threat to my life." QP: "I cannot fathom what spite may have had to take her own life before you, but poisoning? As you well know, the late king passed away due to his chronic illness." Li: "Mother. Senior Court Lady Dong confessed before she died." QP: "Her words are all lies! You must believe in your mother. All this has come to pass because of Chu Dal-ha's report. You must behead him and hang his head for display to show the world your authority and bring an end to this case. That is the only way to preserve your reign." Li: "I cannot and will not do so." QP: "Your Majesty." Li: "Enough. Enough. That is enough. Do you still not see it? I could not bring myself to ask you this question on the day my brother died. However, I already...know its answer!" QP: "I have no idea what you are talking about." Li: "You would have also known for long that my uncle is the spy who colluded with the Qing...and that he poisoned my brother to death. When I sought to punish him for it, he turned against me and tried to poison me as well. Tell me. Did you order him to poison my brother? " QP: "That is ridiculous." Li: "As his crimes have been revealed, I shall interrogate him without further ado. " QP: "I would rather bite my tongue and take my own life on this spot than see that happen! Your Majesty. Reconsider what you are about to do. The Principal Director is your one and only kin and a loyal subject who will help you maintain your reign. Do you not see that you will be endangered if you punish him?" Li: "Mother. Let me be clear. Do not act as the leader of traitors. Using my authority as the king, I will do everything in my power...to make sure not to let such an act slide. QP: "Your...Your Majesty."
Well, you all know what happened next QP fell out child. I thought she was having a heart attack and Court Lady Han was on hand to catch her falling out! Come on she basically showing no love for her sons. Woman is a hot mess!
I have to say Li was just getting it from everyone this episode. I was really exhausted hence we now take a break to have a moment for that rest with our man girl KMW. Yes, let us have that relaxing convo.
KMW: "Your Majesty. I heard the news...of Senior Court Lady Dong's death." Li: "Back then...you told me Kim Myung-ha confessed that the Principal Director was plotting treason. I should have ordered his immediate arrest and interrogation. Flashback of that convo Li: "I am responsible for Court Lady Dong's death. My greedy pursuit of exposing all the crimes of the Principal Director led to her death." KMW: "Your Majesty. Please do not blame yourself. They say even the wisest of the wise cannot fully fathom another's thoughts. I also once witnessed Senior Court Lady Dong crying in despair, but I failed to understand the reasons behind her sorrow." Li: "Court Lady Dong...was the only one who knew of my crime. I forced her to commit a crime for me, but I never gave her my warm regards. Throughout her service to me, I suspected her of being the subject of my mother and uncle and begrudged her. She must have believed...that I would never forgive her, which would have made her afraid." KMW: "She did not take her own life because she feared punishment from you. She only did so as she knew you would forgive her. As she knew your secret, she would have believed her death was the only way to protect you." Li: "The reasons that I cannot forgive the Principal Director...are only piling up." KMW: "Your Majesty. With Senior Court Lady Dong gone, you no longer have a witness. Do you still intend to carry out the interrogation? Li: "The court will be against it, saying that it now lacks merit. Even Inspector General Kim Je-nam will not be able to support me. However, even if I quash all resistance from the court, the interrogation will be held. I cannot overlook the Principal Director's crimes."
Meanwhile PJH thinks he can slither his way out of all of this. But you know YHB was hightailing it out of there. He packed his stuff and was getting out of Dodge with a quickness. Hold up...not so fast homeboy. Yes, we thought KMH was going to go to the dark side, but he was like, "Carol Ann I saw the light." I am siding with Li!!! Yeah baby!!! A smack down is a coming!!! Hold on people.
I have to say OWH cracks me up. He was so afraid after they caught PJH that he was going to be taken and held accountable too. But he dodged a bullet it looks like to me.
Here comes PJH wearing his purple robes rolling up to the interrogation like he hasn't done a damn thing. My man is feeling strong. Chest all puffed up. He knew, I mean knew, that he nothing was going to happen to him that day.
But guess what? The best laid plans can go off course. And they did. KMH threatened weak ass YHB to be Li's witness against PJH and he was chirping like tweety bird. He wasn't going down for PJH. Aww hell naw. You know he was all about himself and his own survival.
Stripped the purple robes and now you a criminal -- put those white robes on. But you know that it had to hurt Li to kill his uncle. Their last conversation.
Li: "Three years ago, the night when my brother passed away, I told you that I would accept my fate before the main hall. Do you remember it?" PJH nods his head. Li: "That was the moment I set my mind for today." PJH raises his head. Li: "I ascended to the throne...for this very moment." PJH: "I ensured your ascent to the throne by fair means and foul. Is this truly the reward for my loyalty?" Li: "How do you call yourself loyal when you colluded with the enemy and assassinated the king? Uncle. You are merely a base, treacherous subject who sought to fulfill your selfish needs by taking advantage of the king's power." PJH spits at him. PJH: "I took you for a dragon that inherited our family's blood, but you were nothing but a lowly worm. You fool. You are not a true king. You are a fool and nothing but a spy of the late king." Li: "I have mulled over that notion for the past three years. -- "Am I worthy of the throne?"- "Is it right for me to be this nation's king...when I ascended to the throne...with the help of a traitor? However, I now clearly understand...that punishing you for your crimes is my duty and right as the king. I swear to the heavens...that I will not forgive you for your crimes." PJH: "Your Majesty. I am your one and only kin. Abandoning me would be severing the bond set by the heavens. How would you endure such disgrace and dishonor?" Li: "I already told you that anyone who opposed me should face death, even my own kin. Have you forgotten?" Flashback Li: "What is your decision?"
Ding...ding...Ladies and gentlemen, we have an official winner of the Rumble in the Palace. With a solid TKO -- Tonight winner is Li--Majesty of the Nation and People's Brother...Who's BAD!!! Yes, Li!!! Give it up for the man of the hour!!!
After all of that drama, you know our man is just beatdown. This way too much going on with that rumble. He needs his gurl. Enter KMW. Go to your man.
Li: "I own Myung-ha a big debt." KMW: "The Sixth Royal Secretary will not consider it a debt. He now understands the ordeal you went through for His Royal Highness." Li: "I am relieved he thinks that way." KMW: "Your Majesty. What is the matter?" Li: "I do not understand these feelings. On one hand, I feel hollow. But at the same time, I am afraid." KMW: "You have held on so far for this day to come, Your Majesty. As you would have forced yourself to ignore your emotional and physical exhaustion, it would be abnormal for you not to be engulfed by such emotions." Put his hand out to take and hold hers and pull her towards him to rest his head. KMH: "Your Majesty. Please return to your quarters. You must rest." Li: "Staying with you...is resting to me."
We do have QP make one final attempt to Li to not kill his uncle (that fell on deaf ears): QP: "Your Majesty. Convention has it that the crimes of a royalty's kin go unpunished. If you must punish him, exile him instead and spare his life. Li: "Mother. The Principal Director...must die. That is the only way to right the wrongs and make the people consider me as a true king." QP: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty. This is a desperate plea from your mother. Will you still refuse it?" Li: "Escort her away." QP: "I shall...leave without aid."
At least Li was cool and let those folks that tried to bring him down live. But PJH well, poison was the call of the day for everyone in this drama. He was given a big old bowl of poison. I mean, did he really need that much? But I guess they wanted to make sure he was going to die. How did you like his Riddler laugh. I guess he was going to act cray-cray until the very end. Hey, he went out his way.
QP has a breakdown at her palace crib she is just losing it and looking all haggard. Not wanting to eat. Like really food strike at this point is going to make a difference. Girl bye. Don't eat or drink, like we don't even care.
But I got to see my cutie pie CP. Man, that smile of his, I love him to pieces my sweetie pie. At least he gave Li the 4-1-1 on where KMW was. Now, he goes rushing over there only to find out that QP knows she is a woman. Big mouth chick that was there when she was hurt, and Court Lady Han saw the token that CLD gave her. She couldn't even lie.
Talk about stressing we have to deal with the fact that the emperor wants our girl in Beijing for what 3 years. Oh, and you know that QP is all over this. But hey, wait a minute, can we use the chick that we sent there in the princess place who was to be spying give us some entail, so she doesn't have to go. I mean, we sent her there for a reason. I swore the guy when he gave Li that note, said, my man. lol!
Well, this was way too much for my heart. Let me tell you, they better not jack up this ending. They better be together. Something better happen that makes us all smile because I will be feeling some kind of way if this is a weak ass ending. Come on make it right now.
Can I say how shocked I was to see the level of bullying that is going on in this drama? It is truly insane. WTH kind of game is this in school? I cannot with this. I was getting madder by the minute when I saw the level that they went.
BHR is like pretty much Damien from the Omen. I mean EVERYONE is scared of this chick. Even her dad. WTH did she say to him at the dinner table that he snapped back and said he would offer a scholarship. Even when he and his wife were on the golf course and when they were at a dedication, he just shows nervousness and uneasiness all the time.
I cannot wait to get to know what is BHR's story. Is she even their daughter. Taking a lighter to a little girl, what is going on in her mind. She needs some deep therapy and locked up until she gets the help that she needs. My goodness.
I am liking SSJ. I thought when her dad asks her how school was that she would say something. But girlfriend is handling her business. She is smart and strategic which is a plus for her. She is an equal match for BHR, but she has to remember to always expect the unexpected from her. Never get too comfortable like when she had MJE follow the computer girl. That was definitely a checkmate moment for BHR. But I don't think, and I hope, SSJ now knows to be 2 steps ahead.
I didn't see, I believe it was Mr. Lim the teacher being in on all this. When he slapped her. I was like, aww hell naw! Glad that MJE got her out.
SSJ has now her team. Glad she got JSH on her side, but I was thinking if he is a hacker could he not go in and change the results if he can get into the game? This would be their advantage if he could.
YNH telling SSJ's dad the deal is going to see herself get into trouble really quick. The shock on all the parents' faces was well worth it. But I'm thinking her dad will take the DL and talk to her and see how she is going to handle the kids, but he will deal with the parents.
I'm sorry but I have to keep it up for Sister Gurl SR! I mean, Nancy Drew has nothing on her and Remington Steele - ZSA. Both of them doing all of their sleuthing together is all that. I love these two together. Quick thinking especially when they get into a tight jam.
I cannot wait for the smackdown coming to LD. He is too much. I see in episode 14 (below) he jacks her up because he finds out that her and ZSA are investigating him. He goes off big time. I hope she survives.
SZ and LSY you can see they are both getting closer together. Ok, did you all see those tight abs on LSY! Somebody was doing some serious crunches. Yes, do you. I see he does kiss her, but the man has never had a relationship, so he is all over the place with explaining himself. Poor thing.
Then also in episode 14, then part ways for whatever reason.
I do see what others are saying about switching FL and yes, I do agree that would have been a good fit as well. We will just have to see how they progress. (Side note: Her voice at times still is annoying.)
Well, as outrageous as it may seem from a modern point of view, in this age and setting the mother-in-law would…
@Deidre19 thanks for the explanation but I would still be throwing him out or I would be sashaying away!!! But SR is strong so I know she is not going to take too much lying down as I wouldn't either.
Well, well, well, can we talk about my sister gurl SR!!! Did she get handed a raw deal or what with LD.
Let me tell you something, let my mother-in-law tell me that I have to take that heifer into my house, and she is having my husband's baby. Oh, I don't think so. She better start to steppin out of my house. Or better yet, let me help LD get his stuff and get the hell out of my house too and take your mother-in-law as well. Because guess what? I made you LD. My family carried your weak ass. Now, you are going to dissed me further after you did my daddy and sister wrong, now you got this strumpet looking at me saying she is having your baby. BOY BYE! Start to packin and don't let the door hit you in the ass as you go out!
I can't stand the mother-in-law. She doesn't like her anyway and then tell her SHE is making the call to let her stay there because SR isn't doing her part by not having a child. Mama would have to be told off, I'm sorry. But she just overstepped saying all that she said to her.
LD standing up there looking all stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. Trying to cover his tracks. Just stop. You got caught. Oh, and how about the chick that is pregnant was his FORMER WIFE!!! Hello...say what? I mean what else does LD have going on here.
ZSA yes let's give it up for this man. I cannot wait until him and SR get together. You all know it is going to happen. Love the backstory that those two met before. I am surprised she doesn't remember, or she just isn't saying. But yeah, he is better for her by far.
My heart was pounding when SR was trying to beat LD before he caught her from not being at her place. Man, she just made it in time. That was too close. But he is so slow in some area that he probably didn't notice too much because he is trying to get back in her good graces.
Now, SZ and LSY are killing me. He cracks me up spending all this money and then they were reduced to eating the bare minimum of nothing...lol! Oh, when she threw up on him and he washed at least 8 times...these two are too much.
He kisses her in episode 12 and gets stab and falls into the water. Who knows what will happen.
After watching 10 episodes, I want Ning to die. I just cannot stand this lame romance that is going nowhere. It is cringeworthy to me every time I see it. I want to see more action and not just this lame romance every time we turn around.
Wow, now that was a turn of events. Who would have thought that WJH hit KSR and BSC's daughter. Big time shocker right there.
Then it looks like WJH finds out the WJG tried to kill WYH. Oh, and JDJ overhears. This is getting wilder by the minute. But don't you think the WJG knew eventually who it was he hit? I mean, come on, this guy knows just about everything.
It is about time we get Noel to wake up to and see what WJG did to her. KSR is still slithering around with her mother. BSC's mother needs slapped for giving out information to KSR about JDJ's daughter. I can't stand her.
Now, you know that WJG isn't going to let go of JDJ. He is one screw loose.
Didn't I call it? I told you SR was going to play with her husband and not let on that she knows all the crazy stuff he did to get his promotion. He felt dissed because of his father-in-law and wanted to make his own name. Yeah, let's sell opium while you're at it too. We know he is behind the whole canal situation. By the way, can we check on Daddy in prison too. Is he any better?
But can I give it up for Sister Girl SR!!! Yes, slap that heifer, yes, she did. Oh, and girlfriend had nerve to drawn back her hand and try to slap SR. SR was like, "Aww, hell naw, you are not about to slap me when you are talking about being married to my husband. You better stand correct to me. " But this heifer wasn't done, she threw the ultimate gauntlet out at our girl...I'M PREGNANT! Say what? Oh, no he didn't!
I can't wait till SR gets with ZSA! By the way, does anyone know where this fine specimen of a man came from? Did you all see the cute little dimple by the side of his mouth? Ok, he is about too cute. Girl, SR, leave that trifling, weak ass husband of yours and go with ZSA. I am not even hating you for going to him. Wait till you see the upcoming preview...child, ZSA puts it out there! You know there is going to be some drama here. Get ready.
Oh, and LSY's mother, who this heifer is her daughter was shocked. But only telling her to leave. Now, she knows this is the biggest bombshell. She said that in the store with folks all around too. Man, this is going to be spread faster than you can put butter on a slice of bread.
LSY and SZ on this trip, don't know how SZ is going to be able to portray his wife. We will see how this mission goes.

Thank you again for truly captivating us each week.
Kudos...and the parting words from Li and KMW!
KMW: "Your Majesty."
Li: "What took you so long? I have been waiting for hours."
KMW: "Did you know I would come by this place?"
Li: "There is nothing I do not know about you. Myung-ha told me that you would pass by this place. Were you truly planning to leave without seeing me? Do not tell me...you have found another lover."
KMW: "I have no room for another. How is it that you are still alone, Your Majesty?"
Li: "What do you mean? I was never alone. I always had you...in my heart, Mong-woo."
KMW: "To tell the truth, I thought a mongwoo just might grant me a chance to see you."
Li: "So you were planning to wait until there was rain? And here I was, dying to see you. I guess you did not miss me as much,
Starts taking off his hat...
Li: "whether mongwoo, snow, sprinkle, or leaves fall from the sky, it does not matter anymore. I will no longer wait for you...while aimlessly looking up at the sky,
Goes in for the kiss!!! Yes!!! Start sighing...
Li: "Prepare yourself. I will beat you this time and have you say your name."
KMW: "It is Kang Hee-soo."
Li: "Kang Hee-soo. So that is the name that I longed for and sought after even in my dreams. Hee-soo. I will no longer be separated from you and spend the rest of my life with you."
As they sat under the tree smiling at each other playing baduk...
I, at first, thought the Congressman had a vid of a woman coming out of the house or him with another woman. Maybr him popping too many pills?

We have SR telling LSY to not be in the relationship anymore. We have a new guy trying to break them up. Can we just have a couple make it through without another player involved.

But I honestly, would have done the same thing that she did. Not feeling wanting any leniency. She was just empty. I probably would be in a "zombie state" just like her. The sewing machine was just evidence of that. This is such a deep-rooted loss all around. To see how corrupt the system was to just basically say, yeah, ya did but, we are going to let you off. Hell yeah, I would have ran his ass over too.
Does anyone think they know what congressman showed her husband that he caved in. I don't think he did all the way. I think he is still going to be investigating. I hope he comes back to be with ESH.
Loving every minute so far.
We left off with CLD getting ready to give the poison kiss to our man Li. Yeah, we all knew that wasn't going to happen. But what we all didn't know is that CLD loved this man hard! I mean HARD! You all hear me. Girlfriend ate that poison, yes, she did. Give it up to CLD people. Sacrifice for our man at every turn. Her final departing words, Farewell CLD.
CLD: "Do you still...find me unworthy? Is it because of the crime I committed?"

CLD: "Your Majesty. To speak the truth, I knew that you would refuse my final request. Knowing your true nature...might have been what led me to love you. "
At this point she is just spitting up blood. Li is like WTH.
Li: "This cannot be. Did you take poison? Is anyone outside? Eunuch Kim! Why are you standing there. Bring the royal physician immediately! Why in heaven's name would you take poison?"
CLD: "Your Majesty. I have received an order to kill you. I was told that you would never forgive me for harming the late king and that this was the only way for me to survive. I was also told that if you forgive me, you would become a depraved tyrant who forsook the bond set by the heavens."
Li: "You were coerced. Who was it? Was it the Queen Dowager or the Principal Director? What made you change your mind? Why did you take the poison instead of using it to kill me?"
CLD: "Your Majesty. My lifelong wish...was to be loved by you. However, what I desired and hoped for more was to protect you until the end of my days. Your Majesty. Since the day you promised to grant all my requests, I have wished...to say these words to you one day."

CLD: "Your Majesty. I have...no more...request to make."
Li: "Senior Court Lady Dong."
Now that we have CLD who was protecting our man Li gone, we have to deal with Queen Park hanging in her palace side court tripping on Li getting ready to hold the interrogation which will basically put the end to PJH.
QP: "You Majesty. Why is there blood on you?"
Li: "This blood is not mine, but Senior Court Lady Dong's."
QP: "Senior Court Lady Dong's? What do you mean?"
Li: "She is dead. She received an order to poison me just like my brother, but she could not bring herself to follow the order and took the poison herself and died. "
QP is thinking about her conversation with PJH.
Li: "Mother. I do not understand how you could remain silent at the news of a threat to my life."
QP: "I cannot fathom what spite may have had to take her own life before you, but poisoning? As you well know, the late king passed away due to his chronic illness."
Li: "Mother. Senior Court Lady Dong confessed before she died."
QP: "Her words are all lies! You must believe in your mother. All this has come to pass because of Chu Dal-ha's report. You must behead him and hang his head for display to show the world your authority and bring an end to this case. That is the only way to preserve your reign."
Li: "I cannot and will not do so."
QP: "Your Majesty."
Li: "Enough. Enough. That is enough. Do you still not see it? I could not bring myself to ask you this question on the day my brother died. However, I already...know its answer!"
QP: "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Li: "You would have also known for long that my uncle is the spy who colluded with the Qing...and that he poisoned my brother to death. When I sought to punish him for it, he turned against me and tried to poison me as well. Tell me. Did you order him to poison my brother? "
QP: "That is ridiculous."
Li: "As his crimes have been revealed, I shall interrogate him without further ado. "
QP: "I would rather bite my tongue and take my own life on this spot than see that happen! Your Majesty. Reconsider what you are about to do. The Principal Director is your one and only kin and a loyal subject who will help you maintain your reign. Do you not see that you will be endangered if you punish him?"
Li: "Mother. Let me be clear. Do not act as the leader of traitors. Using my authority as the king, I will do everything in my power...to make sure not to let such an act slide.
QP: "Your...Your Majesty."
Well, you all know what happened next QP fell out child. I thought she was having a heart attack and Court Lady Han was on hand to catch her falling out! Come on she basically showing no love for her sons. Woman is a hot mess!
I have to say Li was just getting it from everyone this episode. I was really exhausted hence we now take a break to have a moment for that rest with our man girl KMW. Yes, let us have that relaxing convo.
KMW: "Your Majesty. I heard the news...of Senior Court Lady Dong's death."
Li: "Back then...you told me Kim Myung-ha confessed that the Principal Director was plotting treason. I should have ordered his immediate arrest and interrogation.
Flashback of that convo
Li: "I am responsible for Court Lady Dong's death. My greedy pursuit of exposing all the crimes of the Principal Director led to her death."
KMW: "Your Majesty. Please do not blame yourself. They say even the wisest of the wise cannot fully fathom another's thoughts. I also once witnessed Senior Court Lady Dong crying in despair, but I failed to understand the reasons behind her sorrow."
Li: "Court Lady Dong...was the only one who knew of my crime. I forced her to commit a crime for me, but I never gave her my warm regards. Throughout her service to me, I suspected her of being the subject of my mother and uncle and begrudged her. She must have believed...that I would never forgive her, which would have made her afraid."
KMW: "She did not take her own life because she feared punishment from you. She only did so as she knew you would forgive her. As she knew your secret, she would have believed her death was the only way to protect you."
Li: "The reasons that I cannot forgive the Principal Director...are only piling up."
KMW: "Your Majesty. With Senior Court Lady Dong gone, you no longer have a witness. Do you still intend to carry out the interrogation?
Li: "The court will be against it, saying that it now lacks merit. Even Inspector General Kim Je-nam will not be able to support me. However, even if I quash all resistance from the court, the interrogation will be held. I cannot overlook the Principal Director's crimes."
Meanwhile PJH thinks he can slither his way out of all of this. But you know YHB was hightailing it out of there. He packed his stuff and was getting out of Dodge with a quickness. Hold up...not so fast homeboy. Yes, we thought KMH was going to go to the dark side, but he was like, "Carol Ann I saw the light." I am siding with Li!!! Yeah baby!!! A smack down is a coming!!! Hold on people.
I have to say OWH cracks me up. He was so afraid after they caught PJH that he was going to be taken and held accountable too. But he dodged a bullet it looks like to me.
Here comes PJH wearing his purple robes rolling up to the interrogation like he hasn't done a damn thing. My man is feeling strong. Chest all puffed up. He knew, I mean knew, that he nothing was going to happen to him that day.
But guess what? The best laid plans can go off course. And they did. KMH threatened weak ass YHB to be Li's witness against PJH and he was chirping like tweety bird. He wasn't going down for PJH. Aww hell naw. You know he was all about himself and his own survival.
Stripped the purple robes and now you a criminal -- put those white robes on. But you know that it had to hurt Li to kill his uncle. Their last conversation.
Li: "Three years ago, the night when my brother passed away, I told you that I would accept my fate before the main hall. Do you remember it?"
PJH nods his head.
Li: "That was the moment I set my mind for today."
PJH raises his head.
Li: "I ascended to the throne...for this very moment."
PJH: "I ensured your ascent to the throne by fair means and foul. Is this truly the reward for my loyalty?"
Li: "How do you call yourself loyal when you colluded with the enemy and assassinated the king? Uncle. You are merely a base, treacherous subject who sought to fulfill your selfish needs by taking advantage of the king's power."
PJH spits at him.
PJH: "I took you for a dragon that inherited our family's blood, but you were nothing but a lowly worm. You fool. You are not a true king. You are a fool and nothing but a spy of the late king."
Li: "I have mulled over that notion for the past three years. -- "Am I worthy of the throne?"- "Is it right for me to be this nation's king...when I ascended to the throne...with the help of a traitor? However, I now clearly understand...that punishing you for your crimes is my duty and right as the king. I swear to the heavens...that I will not forgive you for your crimes."
PJH: "Your Majesty. I am your one and only kin. Abandoning me would be severing the bond set by the heavens. How would you endure such disgrace and dishonor?"
Li: "I already told you that anyone who opposed me should face death, even my own kin. Have you forgotten?"
Flashback
Li: "What is your decision?"
Ding...ding...Ladies and gentlemen, we have an official winner of the Rumble in the Palace. With a solid TKO -- Tonight winner is Li--Majesty of the Nation and People's Brother...Who's BAD!!! Yes, Li!!! Give it up for the man of the hour!!!
After all of that drama, you know our man is just beatdown. This way too much going on with that rumble. He needs his gurl. Enter KMW. Go to your man.
Li: "I own Myung-ha a big debt."
KMW: "The Sixth Royal Secretary will not consider it a debt. He now understands the ordeal you went through for His Royal Highness."
Li: "I am relieved he thinks that way."
KMW: "Your Majesty. What is the matter?"
Li: "I do not understand these feelings. On one hand, I feel hollow. But at the same time, I am afraid."
KMW: "You have held on so far for this day to come, Your Majesty. As you would have forced yourself to ignore your emotional and physical exhaustion, it would be abnormal for you not to be engulfed by such emotions."
Put his hand out to take and hold hers and pull her towards him to rest his head.
KMH: "Your Majesty. Please return to your quarters. You must rest."
Li: "Staying with you...is resting to me."
We do have QP make one final attempt to Li to not kill his uncle (that fell on deaf ears):
QP: "Your Majesty. Convention has it that the crimes of a royalty's kin go unpunished. If you must punish him, exile him instead and spare his life.
Li: "Mother. The Principal Director...must die. That is the only way to right the wrongs and make the people consider me as a true king."
QP: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty. This is a desperate plea from your mother. Will you still refuse it?"
Li: "Escort her away."
QP: "I shall...leave without aid."
At least Li was cool and let those folks that tried to bring him down live. But PJH well, poison was the call of the day for everyone in this drama. He was given a big old bowl of poison. I mean, did he really need that much? But I guess they wanted to make sure he was going to die. How did you like his Riddler laugh. I guess he was going to act cray-cray until the very end. Hey, he went out his way.
QP has a breakdown at her palace crib she is just losing it and looking all haggard. Not wanting to eat. Like really food strike at this point is going to make a difference. Girl bye. Don't eat or drink, like we don't even care.
But I got to see my cutie pie CP. Man, that smile of his, I love him to pieces my sweetie pie. At least he gave Li the 4-1-1 on where KMW was. Now, he goes rushing over there only to find out that QP knows she is a woman. Big mouth chick that was there when she was hurt, and Court Lady Han saw the token that CLD gave her. She couldn't even lie.
Talk about stressing we have to deal with the fact that the emperor wants our girl in Beijing for what 3 years. Oh, and you know that QP is all over this. But hey, wait a minute, can we use the chick that we sent there in the princess place who was to be spying give us some entail, so she doesn't have to go. I mean, we sent her there for a reason. I swore the guy when he gave Li that note, said, my man. lol!
Well, this was way too much for my heart. Let me tell you, they better not jack up this ending. They better be together. Something better happen that makes us all smile because I will be feeling some kind of way if this is a weak ass ending. Come on make it right now.
This drama really holds your attention, can't wait to see the outcome of his father and if he will win the election. What truths will come out.
Can I say how shocked I was to see the level of bullying that is going on in this drama? It is truly insane. WTH kind of game is this in school? I cannot with this. I was getting madder by the minute when I saw the level that they went.
BHR is like pretty much Damien from the Omen. I mean EVERYONE is scared of this chick. Even her dad. WTH did she say to him at the dinner table that he snapped back and said he would offer a scholarship. Even when he and his wife were on the golf course and when they were at a dedication, he just shows nervousness and uneasiness all the time.
I cannot wait to get to know what is BHR's story. Is she even their daughter. Taking a lighter to a little girl, what is going on in her mind. She needs some deep therapy and locked up until she gets the help that she needs. My goodness.
I am liking SSJ. I thought when her dad asks her how school was that she would say something. But girlfriend is handling her business. She is smart and strategic which is a plus for her. She is an equal match for BHR, but she has to remember to always expect the unexpected from her. Never get too comfortable like when she had MJE follow the computer girl. That was definitely a checkmate moment for BHR. But I don't think, and I hope, SSJ now knows to be 2 steps ahead.
I didn't see, I believe it was Mr. Lim the teacher being in on all this. When he slapped her. I was like, aww hell naw! Glad that MJE got her out.
SSJ has now her team. Glad she got JSH on her side, but I was thinking if he is a hacker could he not go in and change the results if he can get into the game? This would be their advantage if he could.
YNH telling SSJ's dad the deal is going to see herself get into trouble really quick. The shock on all the parents' faces was well worth it. But I'm thinking her dad will take the DL and talk to her and see how she is going to handle the kids, but he will deal with the parents.
This is really an interesting drama.
I cannot wait for the smackdown coming to LD. He is too much. I see in episode 14 (below) he jacks her up because he finds out that her and ZSA are investigating him. He goes off big time. I hope she survives.
SZ and LSY you can see they are both getting closer together. Ok, did you all see those tight abs on LSY! Somebody was doing some serious crunches. Yes, do you. I see he does kiss her, but the man has never had a relationship, so he is all over the place with explaining himself. Poor thing.
Then also in episode 14, then part ways for whatever reason.
I do see what others are saying about switching FL and yes, I do agree that would have been a good fit as well. We will just have to see how they progress. (Side note: Her voice at times still is annoying.)

Let me tell you something, let my mother-in-law tell me that I have to take that heifer into my house, and she is having my husband's baby. Oh, I don't think so. She better start to steppin out of my house. Or better yet, let me help LD get his stuff and get the hell out of my house too and take your mother-in-law as well. Because guess what? I made you LD. My family carried your weak ass. Now, you are going to dissed me further after you did my daddy and sister wrong, now you got this strumpet looking at me saying she is having your baby. BOY BYE! Start to packin and don't let the door hit you in the ass as you go out!
I can't stand the mother-in-law. She doesn't like her anyway and then tell her SHE is making the call to let her stay there because SR isn't doing her part by not having a child. Mama would have to be told off, I'm sorry. But she just overstepped saying all that she said to her.
LD standing up there looking all stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. Trying to cover his tracks. Just stop. You got caught. Oh, and how about the chick that is pregnant was his FORMER WIFE!!! Hello...say what? I mean what else does LD have going on here.
ZSA yes let's give it up for this man. I cannot wait until him and SR get together. You all know it is going to happen. Love the backstory that those two met before. I am surprised she doesn't remember, or she just isn't saying. But yeah, he is better for her by far.
My heart was pounding when SR was trying to beat LD before he caught her from not being at her place. Man, she just made it in time. That was too close. But he is so slow in some area that he probably didn't notice too much because he is trying to get back in her good graces.
Now, SZ and LSY are killing me. He cracks me up spending all this money and then they were reduced to eating the bare minimum of nothing...lol! Oh, when she threw up on him and he washed at least 8 times...these two are too much.
He kisses her in episode 12 and gets stab and falls into the water. Who knows what will happen.

Just stick with SYL and the princess.
Then it looks like WJH finds out the WJG tried to kill WYH. Oh, and JDJ overhears. This is getting wilder by the minute. But don't you think the WJG knew eventually who it was he hit? I mean, come on, this guy knows just about everything.
It is about time we get Noel to wake up to and see what WJG did to her. KSR is still slithering around with her mother. BSC's mother needs slapped for giving out information to KSR about JDJ's daughter. I can't stand her.
Now, you know that WJG isn't going to let go of JDJ. He is one screw loose.
But can I give it up for Sister Girl SR!!! Yes, slap that heifer, yes, she did. Oh, and girlfriend had nerve to drawn back her hand and try to slap SR. SR was like, "Aww, hell naw, you are not about to slap me when you are talking about being married to my husband. You better stand correct to me. " But this heifer wasn't done, she threw the ultimate gauntlet out at our girl...I'M PREGNANT! Say what? Oh, no he didn't!
I can't wait till SR gets with ZSA! By the way, does anyone know where this fine specimen of a man came from? Did you all see the cute little dimple by the side of his mouth? Ok, he is about too cute. Girl, SR, leave that trifling, weak ass husband of yours and go with ZSA. I am not even hating you for going to him. Wait till you see the upcoming preview...child, ZSA puts it out there! You know there is going to be some drama here. Get ready.
Oh, and LSY's mother, who this heifer is her daughter was shocked. But only telling her to leave. Now, she knows this is the biggest bombshell. She said that in the store with folks all around too. Man, this is going to be spread faster than you can put butter on a slice of bread.
LSY and SZ on this trip, don't know how SZ is going to be able to portray his wife. We will see how this mission goes.
