The fact that Seo Ri hasn't recognized Se Gye in the present may be because the past we're shown is not our current…
Exactly, that's what I think... Why Segye had memories of the Grand Prince... Well as I've written at the end... Could be a double swap? But honestly I think it's a bit too far fetched... I honestly don't know. Regarding DanShim ( had forgotten her name π) and Seo Ri though... I think it's quite possible. The "not recognizing" thing is a bit too much. I know it's a common thing in Asian dramas... but the writing has been so tight so far, it is just weird she can't recognize him hence the fact that it makes more sense that he never met her in the first place.
The fact that Seo Ri hasn't recognized Se Gye in the present may be because the past we're shown is not our current Seo Ri's BUT the REAL Seo Ri's?
Could it be that, Seo Ri (SR) the shy hard working girl who failed in her quest to become a successful actress, swapped body with villainess aka Fake Seo Ri (FSR) in the past and met the Prince then. The Prince fell in love with SR but just as she was taken away to become the King's concubine, she went back to her own time.
This would explain why we see two sides of the villainess. The one who throws urine at those who try to bully her, and the other one, who is crying in the "bin" they put her in. In fact I would argue that this event might have triggered the swap.
So when the FSR was killed, they swapped bodies AGAIN. Except this time the SR had no body to return to ( hopefully she haunts the King as a ghost and makes sure he regrets ever crossing path with her doppelganger) and the villainess is our current Seo Ri who had never met the Prince before and thus can't recognize Se Gye.
There's also the possibility that the villainess didn't truly dye as the Prince could have by some clever stratagem, swapped the poison for some medecine that makes you appear dead.
Either way, with that, as long as there's no emotional shock, SR and FSR can just stay where they are. The fact that Se Gye dreams of the Prince might mean it's his past life... OR that he also swapped bodies at some point. After all his parents are dead, he could have transmigrated due to the shock who knows? π
Not gonna spoil the snippets I've seen on SBS youtube channel by setting my VPN to SK... But we're ending on (VERY) high note today π€
The preview for episode 7 however is a mix of fun, ANNOYANCE and some sad stuffs... Honestly... I'm a bit afraid... π¨
But the show might surprise me and resolve the misunderstandings quickly (hopefully), I can handle the FL and ML being petty but I can't handle their heartbroken faces.
At some point you do need to tackle the annoying stuff though, but I'm not sure I want to risk my heart next week... Ending on today's episode before resuming in 2 weeks might be a good idea...
But again... I was planning on watching this show when all episodes had aired and here we are...
I don't believe for a single second that grandpapa doesn't know what kind of man Mun Do is. You're not gonna make me believe such a sharp minded businessman can't see what his nephew has been doing for years.
My theory is that handling such a huge conglomerate is a cut-throat business so he introduced the nephew to his grandson is order to spur some competition in him. Turns out the nephew was far more ambitious than he expected.... BUT at the same time, if his grandson can't outsmart said nephew, well, he doesn't deserve to inherit his company.
Even when Mun Do offered his liver, I'm sure grandpapa knew that this act of goodness wasn't out of sheer goodwill but hey! Who was he to refuse?
Constantly throwing compliments to the nephew is also a red herring to me... It's a bit too much. At the end of the day, even though he keeps on complimenting the nephew and badmouthing his grandson, he still cares way more about the grandson. I mean, it doesn't appear like Mun Do is married. Does grandpapa cares about his nephew's marriage? Yet Mun Do is older so how come? And of course there's the whole inheritance thing, that just went to confirm what I already thought.
That's because Mun Do is just a tool for grandpapa to make sure his precious grandson become an outstanding businessman. A little adversity, huge gains down the road. He might be a little clueless about how far Mun Do is actually interfering with Se Gye's business, but he sure knows he is interfering.
Of course, I could be completely mistaken . But that's my take on this. I remain convinced until proven otherwise.
PS: Best show this year imho by a LANDSLIDE so far... Please keep on being goodππ€ͺπ€ͺπ€ͺ
Also, I'm just as invested in the romance as I am in the revenge part, because I want BLOOD. No way we're giving two spunky characters and they're gonna let the real villains get away again. Make them pay !!! πππ But please be funny about itπππ
So I'm seeing a lot of reviews commenting on the ending.I just started this, but I need to know, is it a happy…
I second the question and the comment. I was looking forward to this drama with Ci Sha as the ML but I'm not gonna bother if it's not a HE. Can somebody please spoil us?
I had added it to my completed list... But I've decided to remove it... I already have an account on MyAnimeList and I checked... even THEY didn't list KPOP Demon Hunters as this is neither an Asian production nor can be considered an anime.
For the record, MAL does list Korean, Chinese and Japanese Anime but also a couple of foreign production such as "Oban Star Racers" a French production which was produced in collaboration with Japan ( though the brunk of the work is French)... It doesn't list Wakfu though, which is 100% French produced although it is clearly an anime.
Bottom line: To be listed on MAL, the show must be partially Asian at least even if most of the production is not Asian.
In this movie, none of the songs are in Korean, everything is American. It doesn't remove the quality of the work... and it's clearly an ode to Kpop in general - really not my thing but the songs are catchy for sure - just that I don't think it's the right place to be listed.
If you type "My Hero Academia" in the search bar, you'll see the Final season is also listed here.
Honestly I've read the post regarding the idea of having a new feature... And I don't get it. The site is called "kisskh". Instead of extending to anime when there's already MAL, why not extend on the countries listed? Vietnam has a couple of interesting shows I've seen that I can't list. Indonesia has an extensive horror movie production etc. That would still be in line with this website imho...
On the movie... Well, I guess the success is mostly due to the catchy songs. It was really entertaining but I don't think that it terms of the story or the animation, it deserved as much praise as it got. No hate though.
I don't see why it doesn't make any sense. When she was a maid, everybody walked all over her including people…
I don't really understand how you want her to show" she learned the hard way" her behavior. When you behave a certain way you don't have a post-it on your foreheadd saying " I'm behaving like this because of my troubled past"... if it was the case, people wouldn't get misunderstood. People who are born into wealth don't need to overact the power-trip like she does.
Also the issue is not her behaving like she is entitled and expecting everybody to kiss her feet. The point is, if you don't look down on others they will look down on you according to her twisted view of the world. It doesn't matter that these people are above or below her, you always need to act like you're above EVERYONE. That's the idea.
Well that's a moot point anyway. Let's agree to disagree. This being said you might blame the writing but certainly not the actress. There's a script and a director, they're the ones who are asking her to portray her character this way.
Though I 100% disagree about your view regarding the writing and portrayal, so far to me it's perfect, but again, to each one their own.
In present time the FL is acting like she was an entitled, high ranking male in her former life. Her mannerism,…
I don't see why it doesn't make any sense. When she was a maid, everybody walked all over her including people of the same status than her. Nobody supported her whether of lower or higher status. Then she became the King's concubine, and probably thought she was finally safe, only to discover that he was plotting behind the scene to kill her. She learned that if you're kind and modest, people are just going to walk all over you. In her head, you shouldn't wait for people's kindness and respect because it's not gonna come. You don't ask you TAKE.
People bully the weak, they might dislike the strong but at least they keep their manners around them, ... something she learned the hard way in her previous life. On the contrary it would have been weird having her behave like a lowly servant. That would be like her forgetting all that she learned and went through and repeat the same mistakes in the present timeline.

1st episode: MY GOD!!! I haven't laughed that much over a K drama ever. Everything was so WTF and that "plant fight"? Epic.
I really want to know how all the cast did to remain serious filming this because I just can't π€£π€£π€£
