But the game of "was she or wasn't she" the substitute princess was I must say well played by Li. Thank heavens he was given all the info to know what went down.
I keep saying and will continue to do so. I cannot help but love my cutie pie GP Dae Gun. He is as cute as can be. All the sadness in his face for deceiving Li and then his mother near deaths door. He just has so much coming at him. Poor little thing.
Now you all know that LCD is all high and mighty now. She is going to dissed Li. I'm feeling it. I feel like she is spinning the wheel of fortune to see where it lands so she can get what she wants. If that means, giving him up, I believe our girl will, but that chick wants to be his woman in the worse way. But the sad thing, he has given her a look at all, and she has been waiting on him for how long. Girl, just stop seriously.
I guess KMH doesn't have to worry about the tree anymore. It just burn all up.
Some good lines: JSH to KMH: "Gidaeryeon Kang has gone home. I will want you as the Captain of the Special Firearms Unit. From this point on, it would be wise for you to mind your actions."
JSH: "What you saw and heard in the hall of governance tonight shall not be shared with anyone. If you get caught doing so, your life will be forfeit." Eunuch Kim: "Do not worry. I will make sure that the palace eunuchs, adjunct overseers, and servants of the court do not speak of this." JSH: "What I am worried about is your life, Eunuch Kim. Did you think I was unaware of your correspondence with the Queen Dowager? Mark my words. Do you understand? Eunuch Kim:" I understand." (You know he was holding his neck; dude better listen.)
LCD: "Inform her that I will not answer her summons." Queen Park's Lady: "You must have lost your mind. How dare you refuse Her Royal Highness's order?" LCD: "Mind your words. I am a court lady who has received private quarters from His Majesty. Queen Park's Lady: "If you know what it means to be grateful, you should accept her calling." LCD: "That is the very reason why I refused. If I get caught by Captain Joo while taking orders from her Royal Highness and the news reaches His Majesty, would that not be a bigger problem? This is the current situation. Who knows what will happen in the future. Convey these words. I am no longer the Senior Court Lady Dong who will put her life at risk for mere words of promise. If she wishes to use me, she must give me something in return."
Li: "You have improved very much." GPDG: "I merely followed the teachings of the gidaeryeong." Li: "What do you think is the duty of the king?" GPDG: "It is to govern his people well." Li: "You are right. It is to help them live without any concerns. To that end, what should one be wary of?" GPDG: "One should be wary of a war." Li: "Correct. Preventing war ahead of time. That is the king's most important duty. It is because the people suffer even if the nation wins the war. Do you understand why I am telling you this?" GPDG: (tears welling up in his eyes) "My sister is not at fault. I plotted everything." Li: "Did sending the Princess to the Qing make you feel wronged and resentful?" GPDG: "The fact that I had no power to help her when she had been my devoted caretaker agonized me and made me feel terrible." Li: "Do you think I would not understand the agony that you two feel?" GPDG: "She told me that you were once taken as the Qing's captive on behalf of my late father. That was why my heart ached even more as I knew I was deceiving you." (my cutie crushed my heart with those tears) Li: "I am glad you have learned a lesson. Mark this incident in your heart and do not forget it." GPDG: " Yes, Your Majesty. I will keep your words in mind." LOVED this whole scene--little GP too much, stealing my heart!)
Best scene between our couple: Li: "The king should be protecting his people, but the people are protecting the king. I am reminded again that a nation and its king cannot exist without the people." KMW: "I thought you were angry at me." Li: "I am indeed angry. However, my anger is not direct at you...but at myself. I repeatedly pondered over your words that you helped the Princess because of the pain you suffered three years ago. Not only did I make you suffer despite your innocence, but I also made you suffer the same pain again. I could not hold back the anger I felt toward myself." KMW: "Your Majesty. Are you implying that you believe my words that I did not falsely attest back then?" Li: 'Did you not say three years ago that you had given any attestations about me be it true or false? I have never...doubted those words." KMW: "But why did you... (thinking to the past) I do not know what to think of your words. " Li: "In this moment, I sit before you as an ordinary man who loves a woman and not as the king of this nation. (say so Li!!!) I have made you suffer, and I understand that pain is still lingering. I know...that you have returned to me because of that very pain. I hope...a day will come when I can tell you about all the past events in honesty. But in the end, what I offer would only be excuses. I am aware that I do not deserve your forgiveness." KMW: "What do you wish to hear from me?" Li: "I will be the king until the end of my days. I cannot dare to neglect this great duty that I must uphold. That is why...I may end up causing you pain again. Do you still wish to stay by my side?" (screaming, yes!)
Big storm happening, lightening. We all know everyone is thinking a bad omen is going to happen.
KMW: "Your Majesty. I am here to answer your question. I will endure any sufferings that may follow. I will stay by your side."
You know he was nervous wreck waiting for her to answer. He had labored breathing and when she finally did answer, you could see him exhale. Yes! Li you are in it to win it!!!
I just love how he can just go into the bank any hour and just get money with no problem, better yet, if he doesn't like his gfs outfit, just call the owner of the store to open up. Yeah, don't we wish we could all do that at some point in our lives. Sigh.....
KYJ is a psychopath. Why is everyone still with this crazy woman. She needs serious therapy. I mean I cannot even fathom because she is still riding SJW's ass about her being raped and having a child by her ex. Hello...smell the freakin' coffee...she was raped KYJ. It wasn't her saying, "hey, can you rape me." WTH is wrong with her.
Why is she still going around taking people out. Like BSK what that was about. Are the police even asking how she got in? How she found the place? Oh, and wasn't there a list of who could see him and who couldn't so, like why was she even let in.
How many more secrets are there? What is up with her dad? I am over NTJ. He just slithers around like the snake from the garden of Eden whispering in everyone's ear. He is so annoying.
Wow! SJS just wouldn't for nothing stop his son from drinking that tea. What an ass. Dang but then ONK stepped up to the plate and drank it, wait, then told CYH that SJS killed her brother, this is going to be something.
Love this couple and this drama has been a good one too.
Well, I have taken my time to watch the last episodes. I have to say it was a beautiful snowy journey.
I will not reiterate what many have said over and over again.
Instead, I have to give it up to my man, Leo Wu. This man, this man, this man. I have seen some intense gazes before, but his, just makes you melt and just memorizes you. It was the slightest gestures that he did that caught my attention. From staring at YG for the first time as the snow silently fell around him. His eyes were just fixated on her which you could see nothing else not even the cold mattered. You knew at that point; no other woman would do. She was going to be his.
The way he always, gently would take her hands into his and speak directly too her never letting her eyes stray from his. He wanted her to be all in, on every word, every look that he gave her.
From just making sure that she was comfortable and did things to ensure that she knew he was with her even when he wasn't.
Throughout this drama Leo Wu to me reach just a pinnacle of excellence in his performance of a romantic partner. Not that he has not in the past, but this performance here to me puts him on another tier.
Not to take away from Zhao Jin Mai, but like every woman here, I was focus on Leo. Who could not be? He now has upped the ante for every man.
I tip my hat to everyone who was involved with this drama from the actor/actresses to the people who never get accolades that we sometimes forget. Well done!
@fancy I saw the upcoming trailer and it looks like you said she does try to leave with CYQ but is stopped. I…
@fancy that is what I thought it was. But the plot seems to be all over the place. Sometimes, it just drags to me. That is why I come to it whenever. I guess we are all interested to see how this plays out.
@fancy I saw the upcoming trailer and it looks like you said she does try to leave with CYQ but is stopped. I…
@fancy ok, if I am honest with myself, they are more like besties than anything. I think she is better off just being a general. I think her and CYQ really is the man for her. I wish they would have gotten married.
So from the trailers, she tried to leave with CYQ but was stopped? And now the empress is trying to threaten people…
@fancy I saw the upcoming trailer and it looks like you said she does try to leave with CYQ but is stopped. I can't believe he marries Lin's daughter. But do you think they will change the ending too since you are seeing so many differences within the drama.

I'm still mad that HSY was killed.
Love this couple and this drama has been a good one too.
I hope we swing the focus on more what happened with the JYS and his mother. Who set up LKH father? Can't wait to see both of these investigations.
Can we ALL talk about the JYS's hair? Tone down the slickness.
I will not reiterate what many have said over and over again.

I'm exhausted myself.
