ally, I was going to watch the episode one more time before shutting it down for the night, but reading your recap brought all of it back in vivid detail so a rewatch can wait until about an hour before the last episode is released later today (it's 4:35AM where I am, I've been awake most of the night). Oh, the last episode will be 1 hour 30 minutes long, so we need to prepare ourselves.

So it's storm? H*** I was looking it up on urban dictionary and googling trying to figure out whatevertheH*llitwas. LOL

The main reason Claudia, is that it's a SAGEUK which many don't like, and others have never given a chance. That's it. Are you going to watch Goryeo–Khitan War (2023)?

WHOA has this comment section become heated! Tomorrow's episode (Nov 18th) will be 1 hour 30 minutes long. I know. I know, I know, oodles of viewers have resolved themselves to Episode 10 (ep 20 on Viki) as THE END so they have their happy ending. Makes sense. Others want to see the conclusion/ finale tomorrow regardless of the outcome. Y'all, please be civil to each other. Much love...

Edit: Now that we've had our conclusion we can all say yes, finish the drama, and don't stop at episode 17. LOL

Should I even ask what a Strom is?

My theory was Pyo Eon Gyum , Crown Prince's Eunuch. He fit ALL the criteria. But him dying threw that right..out..the..window.

No one died in episode 20. Oh, wait, yes someone did. My theory.

I wonder if Lee Hak Joo has been deliberately choosing the same character roles or if he's already been typecast because his character is the same in My Dearest.

Very well put, Exactly.

If you want a happy ending stop at the end of episode 20. If you want the full story, continue on to episode 21.

Yes, yes you did. She tried her best, didn't she.

The son had held out hope for so long he was afraid to believe it really WAS his mother. I completely lost it during their scene.

I was wondering if anyone had picked up on that metaphor about NYJ. Fantastic beautiful heartwrenching episode.

It would be great to see the King's demise before this is finally finished.

I let the tears flow freely for this episode. No use in using a tissue. Sure did clear my sinuses too. Loved the unpacking you did, but will writernim be able to include everything in one last episode?

Gurl, I have HAD it with NYJ. Having a code of honor isn't enough if it's the WRONG code of honor. He's been a weak weak man from the start. Like you, I'm hoping the PPIMA arrives when necessary, otherwise her role (the character) was for naught. The King, Lord have mercy hold me back. My theory, which I hadn't expressed out loud, about who the person was in the prison in Ep 1 died a quick death in this episode (20th). We've thoroughly immersed ourselves into each of the characters lives (unlike ANY OTHER DRAMA EVER!!!) so it's especially painful to see the preview for Episode 21. Much love, Dedra!

You're a sweetheart for sure!!!

Pale Moon. I'm sure there are other pre-subbed dramas that have or will be re-subbed by Viki. I've just learned there was such a thing, and now I'm questioning the dramas I've watched with the so called pre-subs. From now on I'll wait until a drama is one episode ahead before I start to watch (presumably the latter episode will have the re-subs). I tend to read the technicalities in the Contibutors threads in Viki discussion. You can find the explanations there.

Many do want to know what's going on, but it gives those who don't want specifics a choice whether to reveal the spoiler or scroll on by.

Those comments were awful, ally.

Where have you seen the final episode will air on the 18th? By "airing" do you mean airing in South Korea or RELEASED to the International viewers?
