Well
I don't mind you disagreeing but in that case make sure to separate the quotation properly. I had to reread your comment twice to know where my comment was because yes... Sorry to say, as you can see, this comment has been written a year ago, and sadly, my brain can't remember every comment I wrote in a year.
As for the rest, it's your opinion. I don't see the point of arguing with you on that point. I've seen my fair share of C dramas so I'm familiar with the lack of "eating each other's faces". In fact people were all raving about "When Destiny Brings the Demon" which features plenty of it.
I personally thought both these characters had no chemistry whatsoever either which just goes to show, this debate is useless. Lately people were commenting about IU and Byun Woo Seok not having any chemistry with each other while others were raving about it. Another example of why your comment had no point whatsoever.
What worked for you just didn't work for me. Good for you but why do you post this? Will it change my mind? Also there's a difference between getting along and having romantic chemistry just sayin'
I really wondered if I should bother answering because I hate these fake accounts people use to send provocative comments they know will rile up some people. Well I guess, I had some time to waste this morning. The joke' s on me.
I forgive you show for breaking my heart for 15 minutes. I FORGIVE YOU. But please be kind and instead of always breaking Cha Se Gye's heart, let's go for Seo Ri's next time.
I love them both, but I can't handle another of Heo Nam Jun's sad puppy face .
Also, stop with the dramatic previews, life sucks enough already, I don't need the extra stress, thank you.🙏🏽
Ikr... sometimes I see these EP counts and I want to die a little.
I've gotten all the episodes ( which I've yet to watch because err 34 ep💀) but I've checked and you can breathe, it's not your typical 1h to 1h30 episode's lakorn. It's on the short side with 40/41 minutes on average which is less frightnening.
I'm not sure if I would have given it a try if these episodes were longer given I think most lakorns are overly long for no good reasons ( and i'm used to C dramas and have watched my fair share of 50 episodes K dramas so I'm used to things being too long) .
It does however have one of the thing that I personally HATE in lots of these series which is... poor sound quality, isolation nightmare. The sound of the voices feels like it's been filmed in the 80s. I don't know WHY Thaïland keeps on producing series which such poor sound quality... Or rather, it seems to be a specialty of channel 7 and channel 3. One 31 also sucks in that area though sometimes the sound is good.
Only GMMTV is being consistent with having clear clean sounds... too bad they mostly stick to BLs with lower than mediocre storylines.
The way the script is written... All these characters are always repeating the same thing twice or three times in different ways in the same sentence.
I get that that they're trying to stress whatever point they're making... But after 25 episodes of endless repetitions, it's starting to make me lose my marbles.
someone on X pointed out that in the scene where they’re carrying trays of poison tonic for Kang Dan Sim, the…
I would have said it's a coincidence if there was not the little ' at on the first horizontal line. This soldier seems a bit misplaced... His position just doesn't match with the rest. My take is it's definitely on purpose...
My god some viewers really love to analyse things. I hadn't noticed at all!
I suggest that everyone re-watch the intro. Many, many times - frame by frame. It's all there, beginning with…
Well that's interesting... because that's not what I saw 😁😁😁 Well I'm fine with both theories but I do think they both stand especially due to the whole mask thing.
Because while the reincarnation thing works in some way, it doesn't explain why Da Shim is capable of recognizing the King but not the Grand Prince 🙃
Also the opening could just refer to the swap we had at the beginning of the story... A "forced swap"... doesn't say there wasn't a swap before. As mentioned above by others, the grandma does mention that it's not the first time that Seo Ri is acting weird... In fact, Seo Ri's acting rival did mention that something happened in the past and she completely tanked her career at some point because she couldn't act, which again refers to a potential swap that already happened before.
I still think the body swap makes more sense than the reincarnation theory. But again, I'm open to be proved otherwise in weeks to come. They better come up with a good explanation for the 180 in personality and the "not recognizing" a guy due to a mask that barely hides his face.

Oh well! Rewatching it, that does validate my theory isn't it? Except the swap only happens when there's this eclipse thing happening... HOWEVER I think in the first or second episode, they mentioned that it's a phenomenon that only happens every hundred years or so...( or maybe it's me who's wrong?) Anyway, if so, the swap should only have happened once... but here it happened twice so...
Anyway the opening confirms it. Thanks for the head-up!
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 😁) 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? 🙃
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 🤭
The preview for episode 7 however is a mix of fun, ANNOYANCE and some sad stuffs... Honestly... I'm a bit afraid... 😨
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 good🙃🤪🤪🤪
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 !!! 😈😈😈 But please be funny about it😁😁😁
