Exactly. He has the qualities a competent king should possess.

Hell-bent? Yes, that may be the case for now, and that's because the king is yet to fall in love with a woman .. but do you think that will be the case once he falls in love? I don't think so, cause when their is love, their are desires. Don't you agree??

Yes, the king may have it in mind for the grand prince to succeed him, but once he has a son of his own, I don't think he'll still want Munseong as his successor .. because he knows his child will suffer once another royal ascends the throne .. cause his child will be seen as a a great threat. As we all know, theirs no kinship in the royal family.

I hope that's the case. I want to believe she didn't truly join hands with that dim-witted Myung Ha, but I agree with you about how the king is always ten steps ahead of his enemies.The king always seems to amaze me with his intelligence, and tactfulness. He has what it takes to protect his seat, and stabilise the nation, unlike Lee Soon, his incompetent brother.

Even I can't seem to get her logic for revenge, but I must admit each episode is becoming more interesting, especially episode 6, making the wait worth it. Don't you agree?

Mong Woo made a wrong move by joining hands with someone as brainless as Myung Ha. And What? She thinks the king wouldn't have anticipated that move from her? No. The king virtually knows about every scheme she has up her sleeves. And I can't believe she fainted on her very first day of becoming gidaeryeong. And what? She said she's more than ready to take revenge? I don't think so, she's overestimating herself..
Can't wait for more enchanting episodes of CTK!!!!

You are right, he's too intelligent to not know. And in episode 7 preview, he said to himself that now that she's return, he'll protect her no matter what.Thus, I'm convinced he knows.Furthermore, all hee soo schemes are within his control, cause what she said about Munseong wanting to learn baduk, Lee In must have known it's all for her grand plan of revenge . And to think she saw her discussing in secret with Myungha, he must have guessed it was for them to join hands to take him down, but he turned a blind eye, yet again. Honestly, even I can't seem to fathom what's on the king's mind....

I hope so. They should be allies, fighting side by side, going through difficult times together. A bloody revenge is what I hate to see.

Upon rewatching episode 5. I'm convinced that, Mong Woo is unprepared to take revenge on the king. A kitten trying to defeat a tiger?

You have survived, Yet you are no better than the dead. It's such a scary word with a dreadful meaning. Anyone would be frightened upon hearing such word. Don't you agree?

I share the same thoughts. The king is such an intelligent, tactical, and brilliant man. He must have guessed Mong Woo is not a man, but a woman.

What word?

I agree, no matter how formidable he is, love is bound to soften him.I wonder when and how he'll fall in love with Mong Woo?

Yes, I agree. He knows how to instill fear with his words. Episode 5 tells me, it's going to be tougher, and harder than Mong Woo had expected it to be.
Furthermore, Lee In is a cruel and formidable king, even his glare is scary.

Wow. Saengbulyeosa? I got goosebumps upon hearing that word. Can't wait for another captivating episode of this drama.
Also, I'm looking forward to how Hee Soo is going to answer Jin-han.

Indeed. But I think he must have had his reasons for doing so. Besides, judging from the charges against Mong Woo, those were enough for a death sentence. Seeing that he did not order their deaths, he must have wanted to save her. Hong Jang dying on the way totally rendered any good intentions Jin-han might have had useless.
Let's see how things will play out in this weekend episodes!!!

The charges Hee Soo was facing can be liken to that of treason but he issued a more lenient punishment, which was 100 floggings instead of a death sentence. That alone is enough to convince me that Jin han meant to save her but things just didn't go as planned.

The throne is a seat for beasts, and cold blooded people. So, Jin han can't be too benevolent. He has to be a beast to protect that seat. Moreover, the moment the former king died of poison, he knew his mother had a hand in it, so, if you were to ask me he did the right thing ascending the throne. Furthermore, I don't think Jin Han is cruel, he's just protecting his seat the way he knows how.Why do you think the current king wanted a baduk teacher? It's because he thinks mongwoo is alive somewhere, and hoping for him to be among those that would participate in the selection...

Let's just hope her affection overpowers her hatred. If she decides to see it through to the end, both of them will be ruined.
Exerting revenge on the one you love can be liken to a stab in the heart. I truly hope Hee Soo and Jin han is exempted from such excruciating pain, and suffering..

That was what you meant?

Yes he did but had Yi In ascended the throne, the child emperor would have been a puppet, and his uncle would be the one ruling. By then, the grand prince, and all his supporters heads will roll.Jin han must have thought it through when he made the decision to become King. He ascended the throne because he doesn't want another crisis befalling the nation...
