Trying to figure out who all the royal concubines are. It looks like there’s his grandmother and then maybe…
The King is not married so he doesn’t have a Queen. The two women that sit side by side are his father’s concubines. The one that sat to the left of the king is his stepmother(most likely married after his mother got deposed). The older woman that requested the competition is his grandmother(fathers side) Yeonhui-gun only has one “official” concubine allowed to sit next to him
I appreciate the micro expressions in this drama, especially that of Yoon-A, arching an eyebrow, rolling of the eyes, etc.
Also, when they taste the food, you can see them savour it. They don’t just put the food in their mouth and start going “yum”, they allow the taste marinate on their tongues before they let out a sigh of deliciousness.
I find Lee Min-Ki’s role redundant. It’s the same cycle over and over again, he suspects Woo Seo-Jeong, does investigations then back again. I preferred him in the earlier episodes when he was sick.
I was so impressed with episode 11. I would have had no complaints if it ended here. Hopefully episode 12 brings the downfall of the Principal and Shooting Coach
I wanted to punch Yoon-Jae’s face many times throughout the duration of this drama. And that white turtleneck shirt he wore in episode 12 had me rolling my eyes to the heavens.
The things that had me invested in this drama was mostly Yoo Jung-Hoo and the OST. I hope he gets to star in more dramas
oh man, I just cannot bring myself to see someone who kills animals for fun as a romantic male lead, even though…
Hunting was a measurement of the strong in society and a status symbol. If you were able to hunt and kill animals(doesn’t matter which), then you were able to be a provider; provide food, clothes, etc. It was a necessity and they couldn’t pick and choose like technology as afforded us to do today.
I went to read up on him, it would be understandable if they got mad had the name change not happened because…
I think they chose to romanticise him because he’s a complex character and his tyranny was greatly influenced by his childhood. I’m guessing it would most likely go along the plot of what if. What if he loved someone so much that she was able to change the course of history .
The Queen dowager ate the meal her mother made not because she liked/wanted to, but she saw it as a duty to respect her mother.
This drama just keeps on getting better
