Anything that goes wrong there it’s Jin Mu/ Seong Won..I don’t even trust that queen mother, she’s capable…
Maybe, but it just feels so obvious, idk... All we've been given so far is circumstantial evidence at best. So, it could also be a red herring. It still could go either way.
But queen herself said that she burt everything down when her dad asked her
She did. But she could have also said that to protect someone or she could have wrongly assumed it was her fault when it was someone else who actually dealt the decisive blow. For example, she could be thinking that the edict she burned accidentally started the fire, making her think that she "burned everything to the ground" in her fit of anger. But in fact, that small fire was put out, and instead someone else deliberately set the place on fire that same night. That would at least explain why the edict wasn't burned to ashes. Or it could be her fault after all. I'm just saying it is too soon for me to condemn her. :)
Ok, so from the way the the servant girl seems to be a nervous wreck while watching the wedding, I'm guessing she poisened the makeup or something. The question is, who ordered her? The queen mother seems genuinely surprised. It could of course be an act, but still I feel she isn't that kind of person. Her dad, maybe? Or someone else entirely. Same about the fire: Until they show her actively burning down the palace, I'm keeping my mind open to other possibilities, e.g it having been an accident or her protecting someone instead. For that flashback scene with Ian clearly shows she wasn't a mean person originally. To me, she comes across more like a hedgehog.
I'm going crazy trying to figure out which song Shin Yirang is paroding in the recording at the end of ep 6 ðŸ˜Can someone please save me and tell me which song it is? If I'm not mistaken, it's an old classic.
The protagonist practically told 2ML that her title as a noble would only last 5 years, while with ML it would…
I think her point wasn't about her own title. Rather she was considering the effect her illegitimate status has on her partner. She knows that marrying up with her background will implicate the social image of the person she gets married to. In the 2ML's case it might cost him his career. But grand prince Ian's social status is given by birth, he would stay a prince regardless. So, she wasn't talking about the benefits for herself, but considering the potential losses of others.
I think even if it was not a mutual relationship, Queen might have liked him rather than his timid brother, but…
What if Yian's brother liked Yirang and insisted to marry her even though he knew her family was trouble? And that's why Yian grabbed his collar, because he was angry and desperate that his brother chose a path he knew was likely to not end well for him?
Just chipping in my two cents because I'm totally with you guys regarding your other theories!
I don't for the love of god understand kdrama logic. If someone is an illegitimate child why does the child get…
Same here. Though in this specific case I have a tiny shred of understanding for the father. His wife literally died the the moment our poor FL arrived. It's much easier to blame someone else than himself. Which is what he's doing. He's a coward. Not that it makes it any better what he's been doing to our girl all these years, though... He can kindly get off my screen.
I understand why they wanted to cast IU initially for Queen of Tears, she has so mucb AURA, I mean whenever she…
i found her cringy act (that got some critique during the first few eps) very well placed actually. It's her shield, her mask, her coping mechanism. By now we can clearly see that she only uses it when she feels scared, insecure, embarrassed, or wants to come across as unbothered and above it all. It fits her character very well.
Well the scene with his brother before his marriage is probably related to her.
Hah! That's also an option, I guess. Or maybe the previous king actually liked her for some unfathomable reason... I also don't want him to have had feelings for his current sister-in-law >< but the chemistry between the two of them just feels kinda off sometimes...?

I got the exact same feeling!
Also, my spidy senses are telling me that grand prince I-an had a first love. My guess is, either it was the current queen mother, that the two of them were in love but the king then (pressured buy the queen mother's father) had her marry the crown prince, I-an's brother instead.
Or, the queen mother had (and still has) feelings for I-an but he's had a crush on Huiju since their high school days.
The scene from his brother's wedding would make more sense with the former. But seing how I-an reacts to Huiju lets me hope for the later.
Can anyone recommend another drama similar to this one with good ratings and a happy ending? I've watched a few…
People already gave you a pretty good selection. So I only have one more to add: The General and I. It's a bit older but I could never get over the way the ML looked at the FL, or over their reunion scene. Oh, and the Long Ballad.
I just noticed how Xie Zheng only allows Changyu to sit next to him--even his buddy Gongsun daren has to sit on the small stool 😆--and I'm so here for it!!!!
And agreed on the PM. We know so little about him; I can't read him at all!

That was the aura of a queen. It's such a stark contrast to the queen mother's commanding aura that always seems to be laced with fear. Sure, it's partly naïveté due to the lack of exposure to palace intrigues that the queen mother doesn't have. But still, I love it!

We'll see...
