You means?
About finished filming? Yes they already finished filming the whole show on 31/12/2020.

I read they want to film extra story with 6 episode around 10 minutes for each episode to tell more story about Cheol Jong and So Yong first meeting or something like that but don't know what happen to that though LOL

"Always shouting, growling, talking aggrasively to people, lamenting loudly, constant screaming to herself and giving everything away about what's she's thinking..."

If you don't like this drama then that's ok because it just difference in personal preferance but your description about main female lead here is weird and incorrect.

It seems actually you're watching a telenovela and mistaken it as this drama=_=

They already finished filming on 31/12/2020 and I remember see pic where they filming a scene with the queen staring at the rock on twitter.
So, maybe it will be significance in the future episode.

So, if you guys want to watch Korean historical dramas in this year, you can watch these dramas above.

I 100% believe royal couple will still alive until the end.

I saw their bts pic when they just finished filming on 31/12/2020 on the twitter with the queen still wearing queen costume and accessories while the king wearing nobleman outfit like the one he wear when they eating outside, just the hanbok he wears in the bts pic is blue color.

Instead of worrying about the sad ending, I'm wondering who is the endgame:
1)Past So Yong & Cheol Jong
2)Bong Hwan personalities will merged with So Yong,
So (Yong) + Bong (Hwan) = So Bong
and she stays by Cheol Jong side because actually future Bong Hwan is the reincarnation of So Yong in the past.

or others?

I want number 2 so Queen So Bong can stay with King Cheol Jong in Joseon after clearing Bong Hwan's allegation in the future and it will not be unfair to both So Yong and Bong Hwan.

I hope there is only one soul and Bong Hwan in the future is the reincarnation of So Yong in the past so even So Bong stay with Cheol Jong it is not unfair to both of them.

She is Mr Queen aka Queen So Bong now so she has more strength LOL
So (Yong) + Bong (Hwan) = So Bong

It's not that easy. His family member was killed by Kim So Yong's clan, the Kim's clan and he has no powerful clan as support.

After Kim's clan crowned him as their puppet king, he has to pretend to be dumb or they will dethrone him anytime. Then they chosen So Yong as his queen to strengthen their hold of him.

So Yong story is pitiful and sad but she is not the only one who is suffering in the palace. That's why I understand the king and don't blame him when he quite cold towards her before their marriage.

I watch Seol In Ah in that drama before this too.
She's lovable in that drama and also so cute in the Mr Queen bts with Shin Hye Sun.
I don't hate her in other scene in this drama, I just don't want her to be lovey dovey with the king LOL

One of the theory audience mentioned is that Bong Hwan is the future reincarnation of So Yong in the past. So, actually there is only one soul, just reincarnate to different gender in other life.

There was mentioned about parallel life and reincarnation in the episodes 5. We still don't know whether the theory is right or not now though.

But if the past So Yong and future Bong Hwan have different souls then it kinda deceiving Cheol Jong because although he has childhood connection with young So Yong since she saved him when they were young, the one that Cheol Jong falling right now is Bong Hwan & So Yong characters together.

What I understand with the "childhood connection" trope in this drama is,
Cheol Jong thought young Hwa Jin was his savior when they were young so he is very grateful to her. That's why he was hell bent in saving her before in earlier episode until he even kneeled and begged when they want to behead Hwa Jin. She is among people that he trust other than his brother and special director Hong.

But actually the one that saved him was young So Yong.
He's already falling with his queen after their interactions together although he didn't know that young So Yong saved him so this "actually she saved him when they were young" will deepen their bond and relationship later after it is revealed, not make the king fall in love with her because, well, he's already in love with her now no matter how he denied it.

Kim Jung Hyun and Shin Hye Sun are cute in the bts too like besties. Maybe that's why they have great chemistry here

Since it So Yong and Bong Hwan, I called the current queen So Bong.
So (Yong) + Bong (Hwan) = So Bong.
On twitter there are many tweets called current queen So Bong too^_^

I'm still not sure about it.
Some tweets mentioned the 10 minutes of 6 extra episodes will be included started at the episodes 15 while some tweets mentioned they will be after episodes 20.

They will start filming the extra episodes today so guess we will to wait few days to get the accurate information.

There will be some extra episodes about the first meeting of Cheol Jong and So Yong.
The extra episodes has 6 episodes, with 10 minutes for each episodes and it will be released exclusively on TVing.

Yes, I just check about it. Thank you^_^

Where did you read about it?
Mind to share the link?

Yes, it kinda too much.

The king's concubine, Hwa Jin, always talk rudely and give arrogant attitude towards the queen, the queen's adopted cousin, Byung In, not just threaten the king, he and his minions also just barged into the room where the queen lying down and raised the sword to the king.

I just suspend my belief that Hwa Jin get a pass because Bong Hwan interested with her before and the king couldn't do anything because he is powerless while Byung In is the adopted son of one of the powerful Kim's clan.

Spoiler!
In real history the king is not only powerless puppet king, he also died young T_T
His story is so tragic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheoljong_of_Joseon

Yes, I read that too.
I wonder why did he still accept offer in romance dramas than?

There are quite many peoples mentioned that they never like or watch any historical dramas before but they watch this drama because it has comedy tone in the teaser.

Yes, it is has comedy genre but it is also has political genre since the main male lead is a reigning king. When you watch historical dramas you need to pay attention even to the smallest detail more than when you watching modern drama because many info will hold important key for the future development in the next episodes.

Other than Korean historical dramas, I also like to watch Chinese historical dramas and I say, Chinese historical dramas are usually more complicated and have longer episodes than Korean historical dramas. The romance stories between main leads in Chinese historical dramas especially involving royalty can be more harsher too.

If they say they couldn't ship the king and the queen here because the king tried to kill his wife and cold to her before their marriage, then wait until they watch Chinese historical romance dramas especially the tragic one LOL

I think So Yong really sad that guy she like and even saved him when he was young grow up to despised her because of her clan. But I also believe there is other people and secret that she know really troubled her until she decided to jump into the lake.
