Is no one curious abt the yeon wol's identity? Was she a noble lady? Where are her biological parents?
Given how Hong Nan addressed her brother as my lord, that pretty much confirms it, yes. Plus, Yeon Wol looked pretty comfortable being crown princess in the ML's flashbacks, meaning she was used to the life of a noble.
From Hong Nan's flashback we also know that her brother and father were executed (my guess is, falsly accused for treason by the current left state councilor who wanted his own daughter on the throne). So her father is dead (unless someone miraculously saved him) and her mother, if she was still alive then, would have been enslaved and maybe (or probably bc this is a drama) killed herself as a consequence and because she thought she was the only one left.
ep5The body swap is better than expected but I need a clearer signal about the 'internal reswap'. That is, when…
Maybe it's just me, but I find it quite obvious: Every time they enter the internal POV, there is like some kind of orange-redish "glow" or "swirling" on their bodies (sorry, I don't know how to better describe it). Usually the frame is also a close up of one of the two's back while as the camera pans to the side.
Or at least, that's how I remember it ๐ Hope it helps somehow ๐
PS: that body swap is chefs kiss! I've rewatched the first few minutes for the umpteenth time and I'm STILL laughing tears!
You know nothing, Jon Snow -- I mean -- Seja Jeoha โ๏ธ๐บ๐
I came here to see if anyone else was talking about the music of that scene. But, i didn't realise until I read your comment that it was actually an entire reference! That was genious writing with him taking over the clothes first!! ๐
I love that every con turns into a full-blown production โ our talented trio never just scams, they stage it,…
Me too!! It must have been so fun to shoot this drama! It's like someone said: let's make a drama where we get to try out the full palette of sets and costumes, lol (I know it's not an original script.)
I like your theorising! The mistress is definitively involved with Stella. No production wastes money on creating…
tbh, that entire plotline is a puzzle to me. When Mrs President's aid told the mother about the bugs, what was that strange pockerface she had on for a moment before showing something between fear and surprise? Then, that entire scene where the handsome security guy brought her the bugs felt so weird to me, fragmented somehow. Like she was directing the conversation towards something... what if her surprise was just an act? Could she have already known about the bugs but knowing that other people knew of them too and were using them too, she had to remove them...? Actually, how was the relationship between Junik and his mother before he died? Why was she so set on him becoming president? And just what did the security guy find on Junik's phone that got him assassinated within an hour?
There are just too many puzzle pieces still missing! And I love it XD
I like your theorising! The mistress is definitively involved with Stella. No production wastes money on creating…
You're right, there only was that one photo... but it didn't look fake to me... The boy's shadow is projected perfectly onto the mistress' shirt, including Junik's fingers on the boy's shoulder... then again, photos don't mean much anymore these days... (though images of humans are still hard to generate flawlessly). Well, I guess I'm undecided and will have to wait for the next ep, hehehe
Ok...."Dead man tell no Tales".....lolJunik is dead and he cannot defend himself on anything so it is…
I like your theorising! The mistress is definitively involved with Stella. No production wastes money on creating children's drawings that have no function to the plot. XD But with your theory, how do you explain the family fotos with Junik and not the brother in them at her home? ๐ค But I agree, I just can't see Junik willingly have an affair, either. There has to be more to this.
Idk, for me the mistress doesn't have the cool and calculatedness about her that I would expect from a person dealing in illegal military business of international scale. Junik's mother fits that much better. My current (wild) theory is the two of them are in it together XD (If you're curious about my theory: https://kisskh.at/750097-polaris#comment-23507854, sorry, too lazy to type it all again)
just finished ep. 5 and Iโm on the same line of thinking as you. something happened 10 years ago to all of them…
Omg, the child actually being hers, i could totally see that! Why didn't I think of this? It would also perfectly fit with my other theory in which Junik and his entire family are NK spys on a longterm mission to produce a SK president and secretly buy military equipment for NK without anyone noticing. But then Junik fell in love with Munju and her fight for a peacful reunion XD bc I'm too lazy to type it all again: https://kisskh.at/750097-polaris#comment-23507854 That would also explain why his family didn't want Munju to raise her son...
Also, I think that Stella is her exโs mistress. The child traveled all over the world, including Malmo (Sweden),…
My thoughts exactly!
But maybe the plot is even bigger (crazier) and the mistress and Junik's mother are behind Stella together. I mean, there needs to be a purpose, why this Stella is buying all that military stuff. And if Junik indeed was a spy, and his mom too, there would even be two motives: acquiring military equipment for NK unnoticed and funding Junik's presidential campaign... (the mom's been planning that for at least a decade) Because I'm too lazy to type everything again: https://kisskh.at/750097-polaris#comment-23507854 XD
After watching ep 5:I suddenly thought of an epic twist by which Junik could indeed have been a ...
... spy: What if his entire family---or at least the women---are North Korean spies that had been tasked decades ago with the longterm mission to someday produce a South Korean president, so that he can facilitate the NK takeover of SK? Maybe there's more to why only the women remain in that family... What if the mistress whas the NK spy Junik was supposed to marry, but then he fell in love with Munju over how she fought for a peaceful reunion? He convinced his family somehow that marrying her would be advantageous and secretly started working for the same goal too. Thatโs why he left all his assets to Munju; because he knew and wanted her to run for president in his stead.
That would make his mother the prime canditate for Stella, while the mistress is working under her. What a nice way to get NK military equipment without anyone noticing...! And at the same time, it would give the family the necessary funds to participate in politics. But that would also mean, the submarine is very much real... Itโs first target then however arenโt the states, but SK... That would also explain why China had no interest in talking to Mrs. President; they were almost about to be rid of the bigest watchdog in front of Beijing's gates.
"We have no intention of occupying public resources and, to prevent the focus of public opinion from being…
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that perfectly crafted statement letter. ChatGPT couldn't have done it any better! (<- this is sarcasm, just to be crystal clear) So many pretty words with absolutely zero content, lol (Except a few hidden threats and accusations, like others have pointed out...) I stands out even more compared to Zhao Lusi's statements.
Srsly, anyone with two braincells can tell that company has no spine whatsoever.
You wouln't maybe also know the ending song of the last two episodes?
I just can't get these two songs out of my head XD

Seriously though? I hope you're right, since I don't want to go through that all over again...
