And she schools Uk on how to treat his wife!

He draws the line! 😂

It’s something to do with the tree of promise.The reworked OST renamed ”Tree”and being sung by HMH is being released tomorrow. It’s going to be heartrending I’m sure.

Yup, I will be rewatching as much as possible between Holiday engagements.

I’d rather t be a final battle against Jin Mu and his minions!

Me too. He does not know the truth. The audience does and bashes him. How would you be?

Yup. And he is cautiously checking out his feelings. Because the handclaps is so personal, he checked his reaction with Kim DomJoo. Othin. Then he went back to Cho-Yeong and felt his heart flutter again, even without the supposed Jade link. And then she reveals her Tree dream, that is all hers! Who shouldn’t be confused, when for 3 years he believed she was dead, even though he prayed for a sign from his jade.

Me too. Then everybody was up early and demanding this and that, so can’t focus. Love this MDL discussion thread. I learn things I didn’t notice, spazz, and have thoughtful discussions about my favorite drama!

The problem is your expectations, versus the actually story as it’s presented.

Actually it’s Jin Mu’s plan. He ensnared the queen with promises of ice stone.

They are bashing Uk here too

Yup. I think people are overthinking and using up too much emotional energy. It’s a story by the Hong Sisters. I have enjoyed the first 25 episodes and trust their story telling, and witty dialog. The director enhances the story with his vision and masterful handling of actors. It’s a respectful relationship.

Yes! I agree! I’m thinking most couples will have HEA

He realizes to get back at Uk was not worth the price to pay for killing MD, and being a the pawn of Jin Mu. He really wants to be UKs buddy. He’s just petty and vain and afraid of being mocked, as well as bing skewered by Uk now.

I have faith in his good heart. Jin Bu-Yeon vouched for him. The problem is, that his identity is the Crown Prince. He was groomed to rule. He just didn’t quite believe someone with the power of the Kings Star would not seek to overthrow and gain power.

I’m not sure if you are replying to me. Because the behavior you are describing is my take on blunt and honest, no matter how much it hurt.

When he reminded her that he can sell her, that was his actual position as master and he was reminding her he could do it. Her first intent was to be obedient and lay low, but her temper got the best of her. She was always arrogant and had to be reminded to lower her eyes and not glare. Real servants cannot afford arrogance. That was part of the comedy: her persona did not match the weak servant girl! Part of her growth was accepting it, and allowing herself to open up to,loving Uk, and resign herself to being powerless with him.

And when she could not unsheathed her sword, he just said she was of no use to him and to live as MD. He even offered to let her stay. She was the one who did not to live that way, and attempted suicide. When he found out she left with the sword, he want after her.

Basically, he did NOT change. He’s very blunt and oragmatic when his emotions are not in play. Even with Lady Heo. He asked if she was a creditor? Because why would he accost her? He bluntly told her it was not her beauty.

Anywho, loving this whole drama!

It’s Kim Yeon!

The clues are there, but he can’t quite believe yet. Before, she actually thought it was her priestess powers through the blue jade, confusing the issue.

We are! But I think you had a better experience, bingeing straight through. There was too much speculation and negativity from the audience in Part 1, that was distracting. You are in for a treat with the continuation!

Did anyone else notice the preponderance of similar Women’s names? Jin Cho-Yeon, Jin Bu-Yeon, Cho-Yeong, now Kim Yeon? Ugh! It’s just a little confusing at times!

He has always been brutally honest. But like in Episode 22, when he brought her home, he will treat her as his betrothed, and his household will give her kindness and care. He is emotionally isolated, but as all the story details promised, she is shining light into those dark corners.
