Meineke

Bo Wang is on the mountain and looking at a butterfly. I thought the voiceover meant that after MZX died Bo Wang also died shortly after. But I’m confused about the last scene. Is this a flashback from his time alone on the mountain before his death or are they saying he stayed alive living with MZX’s memories?

I was spoiled about the ending and was okay with it since I knew what would happen. Just curious of how everyone interpreted the very last scene.

What is going on with the ratings? I don’t care about rankings. I like both IOTNBO and TU and neither of them deserve to be below 9. If the ratings were too high before, they’re on the opposite side of the spectrum now. I find it hard to believe that not a single show on MDL is worthy of a score greater than 9.

Does anyone else get Extraordinary You vibes from this show? Maybe because the director is the same? So far I like it.

If anyone has watched Stairway to Heaven, can you tell me how far I have to watch in order to understand all the references in this show. I want to rewatch this after finishing STW, but completing that show is torture.

Ugh! I want to drop this show so badly. Why is this show considered a classic? I don’t like any of the characters. I only started watching because I wanted to understand the references in CLOY. I’m up to ep. 8 now. How much more do I have to watch to get all the references? Please tell me it gets better from here on.

The end is lousy but I feel it’s not fair for it to deter people from watching because the rest of show was so sweet and pleasant to watch.

Thanks for the feedback. Opinions are pretty polarized. I was actually more interested in the startup storyline rather than the romance/triangle. I’m going to wait for the series to end before watching.

Love love love ep 19. I’m probably in the minority but until ep 20, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the show. Came for XZ but I don’t really care much for his character here. Not seeing the same magic as I did in his WWX role. Darren Wang on the other hand is great. He has such a cute smile.

Just reading the comments, I can’t figure out whether this is worth watching or not. If I understand correctly, most people like the second male lead instead of NJH? I happen to like both NJH and Suzy, are they not good together? It must be either really good or really bad judging by the sheer number of comments.

Exactly! I loved the production, modern monarchy concept. It was the storyline which was such a huge let down. Not to mention the lack of chemistry. LMH has great chemistry with all his FLs, this was an exception. I blame it on poor writing and direction. Acting was fine all around.

I forgot about his friend's death. That makes his faking his own death even less realistic. Why would he make those he cares about go through that kind of heartbreak? I feel so bad for Man Bok who died without knowing that Jun was still alive.

We think alike! TKEM was such a disappointment as well.

I know, right?I didn’t want Jun to be dead but at least the ending would have made sense.

I agree with you. You really should put this under a spoiler tag though

What.the.hell was that? Did the writers originally plan a sad ending and then change their minds at the last minute? For a show that seemed pretty well thought out until ep. 15, the ending makes no sense. I don’t cry watching tv shows but I was bawling towards the end of the last episode. Like many other posters have said, I want my tears back now. As much as I wanted a happy ending, this wasn’t what I had in mind. I was expecting Jun to come back after his studies and then a wedding with all of the Eunpo family in attendance. This ending was a total shocker. I kept thinking that there would be an epilogue or something to explain everything but there wasn’t. I’ve seen bad endings before but never one as random as this one. Still, I’m going to give it a 9 for the rest of the episodes, which I enjoyed.

I think everyone here can relate. My family and co-workers think I’m weird for obsessing over Korean entertainment. My taste in men has completely changed and now I find English dramas and music so boring that I have nothing to talk about with the people around me. But all things considered, these 4 years have been great and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You should try to keep watching. I’ve seen it twice and the episodes breeze by.

Cheon Song Yi, Ko Moon Young, and Jang Man Wol are some of my favourite female characters in K-dramas. I must have a preference for unique characters who are outspoken and beat to the tune of their own drum lol. Other favourites of mine include Cha Soo Hyun from Encounter, Yoo Eun Soo from Faith, and Oh Yoon Seo from Touch Your Heart. I love how the female leads don’t care what others think and go after what they want. Every girl in the world should be taught to do the same.

I haven’t seen too many old dramas but Faith, Moon Embracing the Sun and Innocent Man are some of my favorite dramas! Bridal Mask has been on my PTW list since forever, I will have to watch it soon.
