I say this every 2-3 days. RE-WATCH the intro. Happy ending is clearly spelled out.

Kang Huibin. Radiant + top concubine.

lol, It was a question, not a statement of fact. I'm just guessing that he married someone else.

Mun-do is threatening her grandmother - that's why.

I think she forgot all about his attempted bribe until he re-appeared again - with photos of grandmama.

Kang Dam-shin was never timid - she tried to run away (from slavery), disrespected the other maids. To show any disrespect to a royal would have sentenced her to death. Kang Dam-shin's bio says that she survived with her wits and beauty.

The "bin" means THE top concubine or royal consort. Hui means radiant or beautiful.

He married someone else?? His future wife was visiting the palace I believe.

Waiting for the Subway meal. 😂😂

are you forgetting that Kang Dam-shim eventually became The Royal Consort/Concubine??? She didn't die to save Joseon ML - she was killed because the King (Joseon Mun-do) grew tired of her and the ministers thought that she was the cause of the drought in the kingdom.

We still don't know what happened in between these two events.

It's been my theory from the beginning as well. Just watching the intro lays it all out. (including the happy ending)

It's been Dam-shim's soul (her personality as a child actress) from the beginning. The car accident (will we ever see the white truck of doom?) was traumatic enough to push her out of the limelight for several years.

Around 11:30 pm KST. Use time zone converter.

The chaotic humor is what sets this drama apart from most and yes, Ep.7 didn't provide the usual hysterical scenes as before. Hoping we get the bad/traumatic Joseon stuff behind us soon so crazy laughter can once again be at the forefront.

Let's get it over with because this is always the worst part of these dramas. At least it's earlier than "Destined with You" which didn't provide the historical context until the last couple of episodes.

Same actress but different persons/characters.

I read somewhere (perhaps here on MDL?) that in a recent interview, Park Eun Bin said that a Season 2 is hoped for, all depending on the ratings.

Well, it's No. 2 on Netflix Non-English. In terms of views per hour, it's already passing up Sold Out On You and My Royal Nemesis. I think Season 2 is quite possible, although they have to wait until Cha Eun Woo is released from the military.

I stumbled across it as well, probably because I've been watching a couple of other kdramas on Netflix. It's #2 on Netflix Non-English and will likely be one of the top Netflix kdramas this year.

10.7% for Ep 7.

"The broadcast recorded a peak viewership rating of 10.7% and a nationwide 9.4% (according to Nielsen Korea), ranking first in its time slot and also ranking first among all miniseries aired throughout the week. In particular, the 2049 target audience rating soared to a peak of 4.29%, setting a new personal record and continuing its impressive box office performance."

Oh, tish-tosh. Walt Disney was a genius entrepreneur capitalist who understood that focusing on excellence (animation) was the way to prosper and succeed. In that era, music was either purchased via records (LPs) or sheet music - there were no tape cassettes, CDs, I-pods or Spotify. It required a totally different distribution mechanism. It was a wise move - money coming in to help fund his studio. He built the brand and then branched out to live-action movies, television and theme parks.

Like I said - genius capitalist.

I posted this below but I had the same question so looked it up. Disney doesn't own the copyright. 😊

The song is from one of Disney's first animations (Pinocchio) and at the time, Disney (like most studios) didn't have the means to license/distribute songs/music. So they sold their music to ??? somebody??? who licenses it around the world.

I loved the nod to the "cosmic" theme of this drama.

Today they were both talking at the same time, back-and-forth. That takes real talent.
