From now on, it's only going to be 1 ep a day. I'm assuming that we'll get express on the 11th since that will be 5 eps, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

I'm currently halfway through ep 23, and I need Hao Ming to LOCK IN with his attempts at reconciliation. He needs to actually apologize to Xu Yan and talk it through with her instead of whatever manipulative playing the victim shit he's pulling rn. I want to actually see that he's in love and not just that he's used to her being around. I can feel it a little, but I need more to actually support them being together. Him getting his frontal lobe back and grovelling a little might help that a bit. Also, the evil corporate villain plot was SO unnecessary in this show since we already have so much going on, but I hope that gets wrapped up soon, cause I need at LEAST one episode dedicated fully to their happy ending. But by the amount of filler they're putting into the last few episodes, I have a bad feeling that the ending is going to be rushed. I just hope we get express this weekend so I can get off this emotional rollercoaster and be happy that Lusi finally aired a drama after so long and patiently wait for the next one.

I'm only on episode 12 right now because I fell behind on watching, but I keep getting the ick from Hao Ming! First, he stops her when she wants to come clean, and I know he uses that against her in later episodes, so it makes me so angry. Next is how he keeps turning their relationship more and more transactional when it's clear that Xu Yan wants them to remain a normal, loving couple like how they were in the beginning. It's also hurting Xu Yan because at first she was helping his business out of love and because she wanted to, but now it's more Hao Ming telling her what to do, and she figures out how to do it, and he gives her an expensive gift. I get that now that he knows she lied, he thinks they should just take things from each other with no emotions involved, but his pretending that there are emotions involved is just cruel. And lastly, I need to know the deal with Fang Lei and her dead sister and their connection to SHM. As of now, he seems like he still has feelings for her sister, even if it's just a little, and it's driving me insane because I hate when the ML has a dead white moonlight he can't forget and then the sister somehow thinks its okay to go after her dead sisters ex who's married now and just wants to be a mistress. Please tell me it gets better because at this point, I'm watching it on 1.5x speed, and it almost feels like a chore now.

Especially not in a historical one lol

Thank you! I'm really disappointed they didn't just release it on Netflix with proper subtitles. I feel like it would get a lot more views that way. I was hoping the extra episode would be like a proper episode, but I guess bts and deleted scenes are better than nothing...

Love the theory, but unfortunately, K-drama writers follow a copy-and-paste routine for every trope. It would be interesting to have a different drama with that plot, though.

Does anyone know where the special episode was released? An article on MDL said it would be on the official YouTube channel, but I checked both the Netflix and tvN accounts, and nothing!

Well, yes, considering typical kdrama plots, she will be the crown princess who lost her memory in an accident, but got saved or something, but they all thought she was dead since they couldn't find her body, and she didn't come back to the palace or something due to the amnesia.

I only watched 3 episodes on the release date before getting super busy. I plan to catch up on them this weekend, but I'm scared to enter their toxic heartbreak era because I really need something light and fluffy right now, but for Lusi, I'm willing. But so far, is it worth watching? Because I have anticipated this drama for a long time, I was really excited to see Lusi play a smart, scheming, and mature FL as a nice change.

What a coincidence! Maybe it's true that best friends look like each other because wow. The side profile is too similar.

I've never heard of the ML before, but his side profile sure does look like Byeon Woo Seok! I clicked here thinking it was him in the poster!

After all the popularity this show is getting, I really hope tvN will do what they did with 'No Gain, No Love' again and give us a mini spinoff drama of this one. I would love to see things like what the kitchen staff in the past did after she went back to the future, and how Yi Heon spent his first month in the present and how he got there and ended up finding her and actually learned how to survive, considering he was used to being a pampered king. I also wouldn't mind a bit of their dating era in the future, along with her introducing him to her dad and all that. Maybe they'll even tell her dad about the time travel, and since he's into history and stuff, he'll believe them, and Yi Heon will end up becoming friends with her dad and telling him all about Joseon in detail. One episode for each of those plots would be so well received IMO. I just hope tvN takes advantage of the popularity of this show and gives us more!!

Have they released an airing calendar? I was really shocked to find out it was released today, as I just saw it randomly on a tiktok. I can't wait to get home after school today and binge the first 4 episodes! Oh, how I've missed Lusi on my screen!

Does anyone know if the rap OST is on Spotify? I found the full OST album, but it only has the ballad song and all the BGM on it. None of the songs with lyrics. 😕

Hopefully! All I know for sure is that I'll be willing to give it a try just for the eye candy provided by BJT. I hope they keep him in flattering outfits and hairstyles like in Mobius and TFF. It's safe to say that he's never looked hotter!

I'm not too sure, as I've been in a really bad drama slump lately, and I'm someone who can't watch a drama unless it's as exciting and adrenaline-inducing as Mobius and Reset or as sweet and romance-filled as TFF. Otherwise, I end up losing interest. But I have faith that BJT's great taste in scripts will enable me to watch his future works!

No wonder that scene looked so real! BJT's dedication to his roles is so amazing. Hoping for more amazing dramas by him in the coming years and that he can continue staying on top of the industry.

Although he was taking advantage of the patients' hope for living and their hopeless conditions, at the base of it all, the patients or their families all gave consent for the treatment. Also, I agree, JYW did NOT deserve those scenes that painted him as a loving father at all. He was a cheater, used his kids when he wanted to live, didn't care about people's lives as long as he got what he wanted, etc. I think it's unfair that the drama painted MYZ as such a villain when, in comparison, JYW was much worse than him.

Based on this week's episodes, the last 2 episodes are 100% going to be rushed. We still have so many more plots to uncover, like the deposed queen, consort Kang, grand prince Jesan, the actual confirmation of their relationship, and her whole time travel situation, and there's not gonna be enough time. I feel like the ratings are gonna go down because of this, due to how many people hate rushed endings. The writers really should have worked it better and mixed in the filler stuff instead of having so much of it in the beginning. All I know is that I'm crossing my fingers for a HE or atleast an open-ended one. And no matter what, I'm gonna love it, even if I end up crying a little.

That's happened multiple times before already. Like, for one of the episodes, we saw her getting dragged and about to be killed, but really, it was 2 episodes later and not nearly as dramatic. They just add it into the previews to up the stakes and make it look more dramatic. That's my best guess, at least.
