Seriously satisfied with the ending even though it was a bit rushed with some unexplained things. I liked the way they ended that only Sanyeong could save herself. The underlying depression theme of this show has been explored well. A person is responsible for their own happiness or misery. The way Gu Sanyeaong chose to live at the end for herself knowing the difficulties that awaited her but striving to give her best really puts life into perspective. Great finale!
The names, for one – I've seen around that Gu-Won meabs something close to "salvation", and Sa-Rang means "love";…
Very well put together....the subtle themes of the show like the rich-poor divide, the struggles of the working class, the societal pressures and ramifications of divorce and marriage are beatutifully woven in the story along with the light hearted romance which makes this show an interesting watch. I do not understand why people think this show lacks substance. It provides so many angles along with good romantic comedy plotline. I love the progression of Gu Won's character as well. From a self-centred moody rich kid who has never been given any responsibilities, he is transforming into a caring individual who values people more than money. Thats character arch right there.
We are just beginning with the actual drama part of it now and that thankfully is for only last few episodes. There is no point in making the leads cry a river throughout the show.
I recently started watching this drama after seeing some clips on insta and have literally binged all the 10 episodes in a 2 days. Its so good that I dont even mind the lack of any romance in this show. I have so many questions though: 1. Who is the spirit actually? Just some random orphan girl/Mokdan's sister/maybe an illegitimate child of Yeom's grandfather? 2. Why is the camera getting so much screentime? They sort of keep coming back to it. Why was it given to Prof Gu? 3. If the spirit was supposed to possess Yeom after his dad's death...how does Prof Gu acquire it?
How did Prof Gu acquire the red tie? That hasn’t been shown yet? Ujin dad must’ve found it at the motel where…
For me the big question if grandma loves the Evil spirit more than anyone around her then how does Professor Gu gets possessed by it. And why was the camera given to him at all. The estate I can understand to shut him up but why the camera?
Oh how I wished Sarang had kept her composure and class until the end and not dropped the plate to draw attention…
She has always been too perfect at everything...I liked that there comes a point where her composure breaks. Its like her only identity here is Best Talent... She is only human after all ;)
Today's episode is just Bangkok tourism and a big ball of fluff...I just can't with the chemistry between the two leads. Its like watching someone's super private moments. Chef's kiss for every single moment between Gu Won and Sa-rang in today's epi.
Omo...Gu Won is so cute! And the chemistry between the leads in absolutely amazing...just started watching this and I am hooked. JH is my new fav actor.
Only thing I feel an issue is that they are not giving much focus on JH's back story and the sister - brother competition plot...otherwise the show is a treat to watch!

Completed the series today...had a good time with this all in all. It was a comforting watch, no hyped melodrama...short, sweet and comedic many times. Though I do hope JCW's next project has some level of action in it, he fits those kinda roles so much better.
The king's robes accompanied by that funny face still cracks me up! Assassin outfit does make him look more handsome. Already missing this show so much :(
A true gem of a show! Loved each moment to the very last episode. I know many people are disappointed by the ending, but truthfully i found the ending pretty satisfactory and also fitting for the characters. Not sure if the real king did lay the foundation of democracy, this one sure did ;)
All in all, this show will definitely find a place in my all-time kdrama favourites. Looking forward to more shows by the leads after this.
Episode 18 was filled with so many heartbreaking scenes, yet kudos to the makers that they were able to include so many light-hearted comedic scenes in between, especially loved the one with Queen's award winning cry fest. Also I just love the camaraderie between Miss Choi, queen and Hong Yoen! Hope both Miss Choi and Hong Yoen are okay.
Great finale!

So many questions and only 2 episodes remaining!!
