A shame they made the father so wrong : the cliché of the dumb and violent father who is manipulated by a gold digger. I had a little hope when he understood that Moo Hak was in love with Da Li instead of Chak Hee and said that the most important thing in a relationship is love (so that meant he did not care if the woman Moo Hak chose was poor instead of some rich politician's daughter). However it was the only time the character said something good and seemed likeable to me...

A lot of funny moments and I love the sound effect when Won Tak stare at Moo Hak (the sound of an eagle ? ). It was obvious the cousin was involved in the drug case and sure that Tae Jin was the mastermind but somehow I was waiting for another culprit because again it was too much obvious...

Special mention for Moo Hak who always find the right words instead of shouting or being vulgar. Episode 13 was so-so but episode 14 was so cute and funny !

I love the little twist at the end when we learn Yoo Han can't distinguish faces, that explain a lot of Yoo Han behaviors...And that means he was also obsessed with Yeon Woo because he was the only one with a face he can remember. I was a bit disturbed by Yeon Woo attempt of suicide and his aunt acting like she saw it coming and acting a bit too calm in my opinion...Still wonder what happened to his mom, I knew it would be too short to know the truth but I was waiting for more clues.

Just one episode of twenty minutes a week !? I need more !

Tae Kyung make me think so much of Mob from Mob psycho : how he does not know how to talk with others and how he seems feelingless when he is in fact the more human. Drama tends to exaggerate such behaviors but I assure you some people can be really awkward with their social skill (I am) We don't mean to be cold or anything and it is so hard to have friends because most of the time I am not spontaneous. I take a long time to answer sometime because I overthink to the most correct answer. I cant improvise at all. Tae Kyung seems like a robot but it is the whole point...I laughed a lot with the dildo accident !

I think in the second season they will discovered others villages of ghosts. Proof with the last scene where they met some children ghosts...

awesome !

I think the shaman moment is a parody of the moment when Mateo went to see the old shaman

I am the only one glad they use some sound effect/music used by The Guest ? For example when the shaman said something that should not be here is in the Queen. That remind me a lot of memories about the Guest, I loved it so much ._. And yes Bong Hwan is like an evil spirit not as evil as Park ll Do though haha

I also feel like they are killing Bong Hwang and even if we are not seeing it physically for example him being cut by a blade or whatevers it is the same to me... The only way for me to accept it a bit would be a twist about how the queen is the past life of Bong Hwang but I am still not liking this solution of mixing the two personalities... But at the same time I am still finding this drama interesting and wonder how this will end !

I think I would be equally glad to see a cliché ending (where the queen and/or the king died --> Bong Hwang returned to his live in the future and meet the reincarnation of the King as a woman. ) or something totally out of the box. They have really a lot of interesting possibilities. I just hope they won't use the " drunk night" to got Mr.Queen pregnant, not fond of that kind of trick ._.

It is true he said "how can I be in love with my cousin ? " but I thought it was a way of speaking between noble...Kind of weird if he did not recognized his cousin when she disguised herself as a guy... Or perhaps there are really distant cousin, just in the same "clan" family but without knowing each other ? But now that reminds me when there was the wedding in episode 1 Kim Hwan was with So Yong's father...

A bit out of the topic but it is always hard for me to watch historical dramas (or historical stories overall) because I have a hard time to understand how people are linked. It is always kind of strange to me to see people who are supposed to be a loving family for example acting like they are meeting for the first time and acting coldly(or too respectfully) like strangers. I know it is the way they were speaking at the time but I have a difficult time to get used to it. Kind of rassuring for me to see Mister Queen twerking lmao Some warm in this coldness. Nowadays we are perhaps superficial but back then it was too serious in my taste.

I am relieved someone make this remark, why the cousin and the father don't find Mr queen suspicious at all ? I know they think it is because of her memory loss but even so...A bit sad nobodies know Bong Hwan is here, I feel like he is more and more erased. Hope the king will find soon somehow. To me the last two episodes feel like there are killing Bong Hwan soul little by little not fusionning

Oh yes of course the characters from the Joseon area will definitively choose "she/her" even if Bong Hwan said himself it is not his body ( proof with the king) because it is super hard to believe + to accept.

But for the viewers it is another topic if they know the context of the story they can choose to say "He/his"or "She/her" but if they just see a moment of the drama without knowing the whole story they will automatically use "She/her" . I thought it was about the viewers point of view here, sorry ^^'

I think it depends if you see it physicaly or mentally. Physically it is a woman, mentally it is a man. To me ( and it is my opinion of course) it is more natural to say "he",not because he was in a man body before but because Bong Hwan perceive himself as a man. I see more the soul aspect than the body and had recently read a topic about how it is important how people perceive themselves (it was about the difference between the sex gender from birth and the sex gender identity perceived by the person himself/herself.)

I would love to see Bong Hwan and the King together but I find it hard to believe if suddently Bong Hwan loves romantically the King because Bong Hwan is such a womanizer.

Yes this drama is so good ! *^*

No I think you are perhaps right afterall I don't think we saw all the flashback about that night and perhaps the mistress is not saying all the truth here ? I really don't know I think I really know too little about the real soul of the queen to discard any theories for now...

I really look forward, it will be really interesting ! The story has really a lot of possibilities to offers and everything is perfect for me so far (actors, characters, musics, ...) I hope it will continue that way. Bong Hwan plays the safer route so he choose the winning side for now but I can't wait the moment he will decide to "actively support the king " like you said. I also wonder how the cousin will react if he knows an "evil spirit " is possessing the queen haha

Oh I thought it was the typical trope where the brother fall in love of the same girl but perhaps you are right and there were already scheming together. I felt like she faked her faint ?
And when in the flashback the queen said to the king " you should love me ! " I thought it was because she was jealous but perhaps there is something off with the mistress and that is why she said that, could be translate as "you should believe me, not her"

I always wonder if korean dramas have popular genre and theme depending on the year. Because by COINCIDENCES there are always a lot of dramas alikes in the same period of time... I remember for example time travel dramas airing around the same time, same for parrallel worlds same about married couples or after The Guest I remember seeing others titles about (less hot) priests too or perhaps this is just me but I always feel like there is temporarily a trend with the genres and tags. It is not even a complaints but an observation. I don't care as long as this is good but if it is just a pale copy it is not really interesting...
