I was enjoying it so much, but when he slapped her on episode 6, that was it for me. HUGE DEAL BREAKER. There's…
Well, in my experience of watching Chinese historical dramas and Korean historical dramas, Chinese historical dramas can be more harsher than Korean historical dramas even in the romance genre.
I love how episode 14 confirms that FL (in chef's spirit not just weak queen's spirit) would ultimately fall for…
Right, I don't care whether this drama make there is only one soul, Bong Hwan is the reincarnation of So Yong or So Yong's soul and Bong Hwan's soul merged together to become a new personality but it should be the king and current queen as the endgame!
I would have liked it more if that was a fierce woman spirit who came from future. It's funny drama and I love…
Nah, if the queen's body was entered by a fierce woman spirit, then this drama will become less fun because there will no scenes where:
1)She felt disgusted with the king skinship with her at the beginning 2)She flirted with Hwa Jin, other concubines and women in gisaeng house 3)She jealous that the king got Hwa Jin as concubine and hope she entered into his body instead 4)She saved Hwa Jin because she didn't want the king to look cooler than her 5)She was excited to choose the cute, sexy and innocent concubines 6)She slapped herself and said "control yourself, woman" after she kissed the king at So Yong's house 7)She was shocked and had mental breakdown after realized she had the hot first night with the king
The main funny part in this drama is that he was a straight playboy in the modern time before he entered the queen's body in the historical time. If this drama's plot is the usual modern woman in modern time entered the body of woman in historical time then it wouldn't be hilarious like it is right now.
Someone needs to enlighten Byung In that he won't get So Young and her love even if he become the King. He is…
It is rare but it definitely happening right now.
A Korean romance drama where both second male lead and second female lead annoyed me so much LOL
Usually the second male lead in other dramas could give audience second lead syndrome but in this drama he is just soo delusional like the second female lead.
i going be hopping if this drama end bad. the writer better not ruin this drama. like some of his other drama…
Yes, I hope that too!
The main casts are Kim So Hyun and Ji Soo, the main female lead is a warrior princess in the rare dynasty of Korean historical drama (Goguryeo), the plot is based on the original novel by a famous movie screenwriter, Choi Sangyu that took 25 years for the novel to be completed so pleaseee screenwriter don't mess up this drama T_T
What super magic medicine did they have in Joseon? Not a single scar or blemish on Cheoljong.
Oh, you don't know? Of course, it's the POWER OF LOVE!!!
LOL But I don't take it seriously since there is other flaw like Hwa Jin's behavior as a mere concubine to the queen.
At least if it is Byung In towards Cheol Jong, I could understand because Cheol Jong is powerless while Byung In is the adopted son of one of the most powerful person of Kim's clan but Hwa Jin?
Not only Hwa Jin is a mere concubine, the queen belongs to the powerful Kim's clan. As if shoot arrow at the queen last time at the hunting game wasn't enough, in today episode she acting mighty with entered the king's chamber while the queen is there, kinda chased the queen away with her rude words. In the serious type of Korean historical drama she would be beheaded already LOL
If I'm not mistaken, Confucianism was also the dominant and officially sanctioned religion of the Qing dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China. But it seems their royalties still had beds and chairs like their previous dynasties. I'm bit confused LOL
Joseon dynasty was the dynasty after Goryeo and Goryeo was the dynasty after Three Kingdoms Of Korea (Goguryeo, Baekje & Silla).
If we use Korean dramas as example for these era, Goguryeo: River Where the Moon Rises (Kim So Hyun & Ji Soo) Goryeo: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Lee Jun Ki & IU) Joseon: Mr Queen (Shin Hye Sun & Kim Jung Hyun)
I'm just wondering something. Royalties in Goguryeo and Goryeo had furnites in the palaces like the beds and tables with chairs. Trailer of drama in Goguryeo era, River Where the Moon Rises with Kim So Hyun & Ji Soo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0F1cDfQwGI
So why did the royalty in Joseon era slept on the floor with only the mattresses? Not only that, the king's tables at the palace also don't have chairs and the king sit cross-legged on the floor when he using the tables.
I means did the first king that established Joseon dynasty be like: "Well, now we are in a new dynasty, Joseon, and I'm the first king of Joseon. But I don't want any beds and those chairs in the palace. From now on, the royalty of Joseon gonna sleep on the floor with mattresses and have tables without chair".
Of course it will be in the historical time in Korean version too since the title has words "Secret Royal Inspector".
Secret Royal Inspector was a temporary position unique to the JOSEON DYNASTY, in which an undercover official directly appointed by the king was sent to local provinces to monitor government officials and look after the populace while traveling incognito. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_royal_inspector
i'm freaking dying!! cheoljung really bullshitted the rationalization behind each dish on the spot xD "macdunaldu"…
That is what Cheol Jong doing even before he fall in love with his queen LOL Remember when she mentioned SNS, he interpret it as "Soft Not Severe" haha And he also use the opportunity to insert about being harmony between clans blah blah when explaining the queen's food. Like the queen mentioned before, he is a politician after all.
Also, it seems many characters in this drama often misunderstand the queen and have their own assumption about her.
At first, Cheol Jong misunderstand that the queen plot to take revenge about the night he tried to kill her with demeaning Hwa Jin with the lake's incident and kidnapped Hwa Jin's maid to force Hwa Jin to admit she pushed her to the lake although that was grand queen dowager and Kim Jwa Geun's plan.
And then since the beginning, Hwa Jin misunderstand the current queen want to win the king's heart although actually she doesn't care about that at all and just chilling at the kitchen and flirting with her LOL And now she also thought that the queen involved in killing her maid.
The queen dowager from the Jo's clan thought that the queen plotting something when she asked her about ritual and talismans although actually she just want call So Yong's soul back.
Byung in still thought the queen is suffering and been forced to act lovey dovey with the king because of her clan.
All of them need to confront her and then asked instead of making their own assumption LOL
The scriptwriter wrote both fiery priest and chief kim 2 iconic dramas from the genre and also in the highest…
Maybe the screenwriter will try to add bit romance in this drama since the plot mentioned that the main male lead fall in love with the main female lead.
The second male lead was described as awkward and innocent. So cute. I just hope there will no love triangle. Why don't the screenwriter just give a second female lead for the second male lead?
Am I the only one who thought the person behind explosion is Cheoljeong himself ?! its look like he gamble with…
After watching with English subtitle I believe it was like this too.
When his secret soldiers were captured and had to kneel in front of him at the royal banquet, their dialogue:
Kim Jwa Geun: "All of them disapprove of the royal court, but they have been guarding Your Majesty in disguise. Their ultimate goal was to plot a coup".
Cheol Jong: "No, that cannot be. Someone is falsely accusing my royal guards to weaken security and harm me".
Kim Jwa Geun: "By "someone", who exactly are you referring to?"
Cheol Jong: "You, Training Commander Kim Jwa Geun".
Kim Jwa Geun look a bit startled but then he keep going on with kinda threaten Cheol Jong with "you are foolish" blah blah "you think those three families got your back" blah blah.
Since Cheol Jong dare to clearly accuse Kim Jwa Geun in front of the official at the important event, this might be one of Cheol Jong trump card to bring Kim Jwa Geun down.
There was also a scene where Cheol Jong's mouth kinda curved into smirk in the amidst of his tears. He's like "Yes, provoke/insult me more in front of other official because I will mention this as your crime towards me later".
I think he will use the bomb incident to accuse Kim Jwa Geun guilty of treason since in Joseon time act of treason will be punish by death or exile.
thoroughly impressed by this drama. script is good, as well as cinematography. acting is astounding - it seems…
Yes, I really love the political part too! I'm interested with Cheol Jong political scenes because I'm rooting so hard for him to rise from just being a pitiful puppet king.
You're right, if we remove the comedic elements here, the king and the queen characters and their romance story have sorrowful vibe T_T
I feel sad with So Yong tragic story that stressed her out until she decided to jump into the lake but I can sympathize with Cheol Jong's struggles as a powerless king and feel that his life is also pitiful just like So Yong .
Kim So Yong save Cheol Jong when they were young and fell in love with him even before she was chosen as his queen but what her family did to his family and her clan schemes until she tried to commit suicide.
Same with Cheol Jong. Despite often getting nightmare because of what the queen's clan did to his family and tried to act unfeeling with the queen, he actually fallen for her with every each of their interactions.
It was so touching when he told the queen in the past episodes that he doesn't want her to become his enemy. He didn't asked her to support him or to be on his side, he just want her not to be his enemy.
And before this when he get nightmare in his sleep he will hugs the queen when he sleep in her place but when they sleep separately after return back to the palace from the house of queen's father, he overcomes it by creating the queen's dictionary. To me these show how the queen has become his comfort and an important person in his life.
I can't imagine another actor and actress other than Kim Jung Hyun and Shin Hye Sun as King Cheol Jong and Queen So Yong in this drama because other than their great acting skill whether in comedy, intense or melo scenes, their chemistry together are off the charts that they can make me swooning even when the scene is just with them looking into each other eyes without any dialogue.
In earlier episode was mentioned Jang Bong Hwa is a chef who works for the country’s top politicians in the South Korean presidential residences, the Blue House.
She also get help from the royal chef, royal physician, eunuchs and maids and the foods that she cooks for the feast was some fast food type in modern time, not the usual extravagant foods in the historical time.
Are you asking for a realism in a fantasy romcom drama about a soul of a man in the modern time entered a body of a queen in historical time?
The modern and funny parts from the main female lead in this drama brings the comedy genre while the historical and action parts from the main male lead brings the political genre just like the typical isekai story in manga/novel/anime except the main character that get isekaied is rare from the usual isekai story since physical body is woman in historical time while the soul is a man from future.
If it is too serious then it will be a depressing drama with melodrama and tragedy just like drama Scarlet Heart (Chinese version) and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Korean version).
The main female lead and main male lead characters are awesome and their romance are good because of Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun great chemistry.
And hoping they include more detail about the procedure of the ramen on bed too pleasee!
1)She felt disgusted with the king skinship with her at the beginning
2)She flirted with Hwa Jin, other concubines and women in gisaeng house
3)She jealous that the king got Hwa Jin as concubine and hope she entered into his body instead
4)She saved Hwa Jin because she didn't want the king to look cooler than her
5)She was excited to choose the cute, sexy and innocent concubines
6)She slapped herself and said "control yourself, woman" after she kissed the king at So Yong's house
7)She was shocked and had mental breakdown after realized she had the hot first night with the king
The main funny part in this drama is that he was a straight playboy in the modern time before he entered the queen's body in the historical time.
If this drama's plot is the usual modern woman in modern time entered the body of woman in historical time then it wouldn't be hilarious like it is right now.

Anyway. thank you for answering^_^
If we use Korean dramas as example for these era,
Goguryeo: River Where the Moon Rises (Kim So Hyun & Ji Soo)
Goryeo: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Lee Jun Ki & IU)
Joseon: Mr Queen (Shin Hye Sun & Kim Jung Hyun)

Trailer of drama in Goguryeo era, River Where the Moon Rises with Kim So Hyun & Ji Soo:

Like, why? huhu
Character or romance?
What kind of "spice" you hope in this drama?
Sorry for asking many questions but your comment intrigued me^_^
Secret Royal Inspector was a temporary position unique to the JOSEON DYNASTY, in which an undercover official directly appointed by the king was sent to local provinces to monitor government officials and look after the populace while traveling incognito.

So it couldn't be in modern time.

I can cook rice and 2 types of food for my family in about an hour or less.
And she has the experiences as a professional chef and the foods she cooks for the feast are also not the extravagant type LOL
You're right, if we remove the comedic elements here, the king and the queen characters and their romance story have sorrowful vibe T_T
I feel sad with So Yong tragic story that stressed her out until she decided to jump into the lake but I can sympathize with Cheol Jong's struggles as a powerless king and feel that his life is also pitiful just like So Yong .
