I genuinely don’t think I’ll forget the feeling this drama gave me. From beginning to end, Perfect Crown was such a beautiful experience – the kind of show that reminds you why you love dramas in the first place. The OST, the acting, the chemistry between the cast… everything came together so immaculately that every episode felt special.

It’s honestly a rare 10/10 for me, not because it was a perfect story, but because of how it just made me feel. I can’t remember the last time a drama made me this happy from watching it, it's such a simple thing but most fail to do that. I wish I could erase my memory and watch it all over again for the first time.

And that bus stop scene with Aide Choi and Do? Wrap it up. I’ve never seen supporting characters given a romance moment of that caliber before, the kind of scene even main leads wouldn't get in other dramas. It felt so genuine and thoughtful.

I loved the final episode, it was the perfect goodbye – warm, kind, and full of love for the characters and the viewers. I'm gonna miss this show deeply, but more than anything, I just feel grateful that I got the chance to experience it.

Perfect Crown, I can't give you enough flowers, thanks for all the joy. It has been an absolute pleasure 🥹👑

Yeah I don't think the explosion at the end of episode 10 was caused by the Queen though.

I love him as an actor and was super glad to see him in Perfect Crown. However, I hate his characters most of the time and I knew he was gonna be a prick, but man he does a phenomenal job 🤣😭

I was actually going to say the same thing, but felt my comment would be excessive. I'm glad you noticed it as well. I think his acting has been perfect and the progression of his character throughout the series with him gradually breaking out of his royal prison ever since Huiju entered his life really shows how much of an impact she's had in the growth of Grand Prince Yi An.

I think his acting was fantastic. His role is the grand prince who's quite literally meant to be stoic and regal to maintain the royal decorum. His face being motionless is part of the role, even when he expresses himself he tries his best to keep it within limits which is actually what you'd expect from royalty. Just thinking about the character of Yi An and how he was raised as the one who walks behind and overlooked by his father, I think he did an outstanding job.

I'm rewatching the episodes waiting for the finale this weekend and I have to say Yoo Su Bin is hilarious with his role, he played it phenomenally. Just noticed all the extra expressions he pulled off to add personality to his character even when he wasn't in focus. Respect, this cast is immaculate, one of the few times where the casting felt like it fit perfectly. Everybody has been just chef's kiss 👑❄️

I wish this was a 14 episode drama but there's only 2 episodes left so I doubt it'll go into revealing everything that you're looking for. I'm almost certain that the car tampering plotline won't be explored any further in detail since they didn't do anything more after finding out the mechanic was dead. I think if the Queen's father gets arrested for his crimes, then they might just reveal all the crimes he's committed through a news announcement by way of police investigation just to wrap things up neatly since there just isn't enough time to go through each of those events that you mentioned within 2 episodes if they want to focus on the main characters.

I think you'll be disappointed by your expectations then. I personally don't find it important enough since the inference that the Queen's father did it is enough and that's not a stretch by any means since he went as far as to try to kill the Grand Prince through poisoning. Now he's also clearly involved in the council hall explosion which is yet another attempt at Yi An's life except this time it's worse since Yi An is about to become the King. So we know the Queen's Father is more than capable of doing whatever it takes to consolidate power into his family.

It was the Queen's father that did that. He hired that mechanic to tamper with the vehicle and then killed him off. It was pretty clear since he was the one who said it'll be easy to get rid of her which was foreshadowing the car scene that came right after.

She liked him, however it was completely one sided. Grand Prince Yi An was clearly unaware, also he's had a crush on Huiju since highschool if that wasn't blatantly obvious from the earlier episodes.

Absolutely he's definitely someone to look out for as well. It's possible that the focus they put on the Prime Minister in episode 8 could just be a red herring to blindside the viewers from the obvious antagonist. Either the PM is genuinely a good person altogether or he's turned evil due to his envy towards Yi An for marrying Huiju, that's the only two ways it can go at this point based on my reading of the plot thus far.

I definitely agree, the PM and the Royal family have a surface level relationship at best but since it's a constitutional monarchy, decorum has to be maintained between the cabinet and the Crown. That's the main reason why I find it problematic if the PM truly did plant a spy in the palace, since he would almost certainly have to resign from his position if it's exposed that he employed a spy to keep tabs on the palace. Regardless, I'm enjoying the show, hope you are as well and we'll find out who's really pulling the strings at the end of the week.

Oh I didn't say anything about you talking about trust. When I mentioned trust, I meant the relationship between the Crown and the PM, which would easily be compromised if the Royal family finds out that the PM put a spy in the palace regardless of his intentions. I completely understand if you view him as a purely political figure but with the events of episode 8, his actions after Huiju's poisoning completely flipped his image from my perspective although his behavior was unraveling ever so slightly from the beginning since Huiju's engagement.

Putting a spy in the palace compromises his trust with the crown, I don't see why he would want a spy there in the first place, it's not a good look regardless of the intent. I beg to differ on him putting politics above all, the first time he probably lashed out towards the Grand Prince was when Huiju got poisoned, he normally maintains the highest level of respect towards the Royal family but this time was an exception. Personally it looks like he's starting to lose it but we'll see, I'm not saying anything is definitive but from what's been revealed in episode 8, I wouldn't be surprised if the PM is guilty of malice.

I honestly wouldn't have suspected the PM at all, however, the fact that the first person the palace spy reached out to was the PM is what causes a huge implication of complicity.

The palace spy that was revealed in episode 6 shows up to his office in episode 8 with a worried and fear ridden look to her. Furthermore, a palace servant can't just show up unannounced at the office of the PM like that. He didn't look surprised by her sudden appearance which implies he knows who she is. Now if we look at the circumstances of the poisoning attempt, we know that only people at the palace could've put the medication into the wedding goblets. Multiple instances throughout episode 8 points to the culprit being the palace spy(Lee Areum).

I wouldn't have even commented anything regarding this but I've seen comments where people are saying it's Huiju's father that tried to poison Huiju even though we know that it was an attempt at the Grand Prince's life. Seeing these absolutely void of logic conclusions forced me to say what looked to be pretty obvious by the end of episode 8. Sometimes I really wonder if there are children on the other end of these accounts making these comments cause people cannot be this out of touch.

To me it looks pretty obvious that the Prime Minister was trying to poison Grand Prince Yi An, cause when the palace spy was brought into the interrogation room even the interrogator(who works for the PM) looked at her differently hinting that he had foreknowledge of the situation. Afterwards, she showed up to the Prime Minister's office looking scared but his reaction wasn't that of surprise, it was more as if he was annoyed that she couldn't get the job done of poisoning Yi An. I think the Prime Minister is losing his marbles over Huiju since he's in love with her and well that's no surprise because there's a famous quote "The face that launched a thousand ships And burnt the topless towers of llium!"

Byeon Woo Seok owned episode 8, I'm so impressed by how he handled breaking the royal decorum while trying to rein back his emotions after letting it out. IU is always setting the bar but BWS really decided to show up and said I'll take it from here, respect ❄️

Jung Hae-In is a phenomenal actor, he quite literally carried Snowdrop without any exaggeration. Ironically I would say her acting has changed, its gotten worse. My recollection might be off since it's been years but I think Jisoo's attempt at acting in Snowdrop was actually better than whatever she was doing in Boyfriend on Demand especially because her screentime is much higher in BoD than it was in Snowdrop.
