OMG, she's so weak, stupid, and lame, she couldn't even get her revenge right! Lol real deadly poison fool, that's all you needed!

Because he wants what he's told he cannot have. He wants to conquer everything and everyone. He wants her to love him the way she loved his brother.

If his brother was smarter, he should have killed him once he got back from enemy territory instead of bluffing with that letter and allowing his older brother to outsmart him. Let's hope THIS experience makes him smarter since being betrayed the first two times didn't. He didn't even tell the queens about their spies he knew about or remove them. He actually got what he deserved for being so stupid.

And if FL was smarter and more ruthless, she'd let that pain turn into hate and marry the king and kill him on their wedding night catching him off guard mid climax. Of course after it's confirmed that her family disowned her.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

The main couple is dumb as hell. If they are going to survive, they need to be more than righteous, they need to be ruthless too. Until they smarten and toughen up, they will continue to fail.

Hwi damn near fell for every trap because of his moral compass. When you enemy is horrible, then you need to think like they do, NOT how you would act. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. He should have killed his brother and uncle a long time ago. Expecting the man to change just because he told him to was foolish. How many times did him and his mother tell him to stop but he wouldn't. You keep giving a villain multiple chances to fight you, one day they'll win.

To prove my point about him being foolish was he trust his brother and SIL who arranged his wedding. So the ppl who you know scheme against you all of the time and have actively fought to prevent your marriage all of a sudden now are rushing to arrange it and that doesn't give you pause for concern?

Yes, the emperor begged him not to let any family die .. but his brother and uncle don't consider themselves to be their family anyway. They never loved them, so they should be the exception. .

FL is dumb too because has ANY OF YOUR BEGGING ever worked with this mofo? You've known him for over 3 years, did you think he'd give you what you wanted just because you got down on your knees and cried? If you're smart, he if kills your man, give into him. Give him exactly what he wants and then slowly kill him and his wife with poison. Do it in a way that looks like a sickness. Play that long game because revenge is a dish best served cold. Make sure to drink the Toni that prevents pregnancy too because you don't want him to have that joy. Or if you really want that dish served frozen, let him think you're going to have his baby but don't. Watch his joy turn to disappointment.


And if I were Hwi, after everything that went down. The way I'd take the time on the island to reflect, and harden my heart so that I could become an assassin. I'd kill EVERYONE who framed me and who posed a threat to the king. When the king got older, I'd be his hidden blade to keep his enemies at bay.

I agree. Like, why didn't he tell his father that they used the blood of a real priestess to trick the Sanctuary. He didn't even say that. He just said they used dark blood magic. He is supposed to be this badass dragon warrior prince, but he didn't think to take the mother out of the prison and transport her there as his proof of what happened. It's like he WANTS to lose at life.

And what's with the FL acting all helpless all of a sudden? And might I add, stupid. She she drank that moose blood no questions asked, in her attempt to save the doctor. Fool! What if that was poison? And how does dying save someone in those circumstances. They could have just poisoned you and STILL killed the doctor. And apparently she had to learn that she couldn't save that doctor at all because the doctor kept walking into trouble.

So... Her bright idea was to do what with that opium?! Are you crazy? This is a drama where the FL thinks everything she's accomplished is by her own merits and is hot and cold with the ML. One min she's asking him to work with her and the next she's telling him to mind his own business and I guess it's a good thing he doesn't because she always needs saving.

I'm a vampire fanatic, so I've seen all the vampire series. Lol. I love The Originals. It was better that Vampire Diaries. But I enjoy both shows.

I know if I were the emperor, every soldier who betrayed their oath would die when I regained my power. I'd show no mercy. Because if I can't trust you to protect me, to do your job, to uphold your oath, then what good are you?

They didn't get any decree from the Emperor to do what they did. They just fell in line and with loyalties that brittle, I don't need you around. I'd make sure that they were cautionary tales Vlad the Impaler style. Spikes up the ass to die slow deaths. I won't care if ppl call me a tyrant. Don't cross me and you won't end up like them.

Im obsessed with Interview with the Vampire TV series. It's sooo good. I want to check out The Talamasca. I love Sandman too. I need to catch up on S2 if I can tear myself away from these C and K dramas. 😂

I'm the same. Lol. Last American TV show I watched was Dexter season 10. Because that is Dexter. I still have to catch up on Darryl Dixon and Dead City.

This is one of the reasons I've never liked Princess Ying. The only attitude she has that's genuinely hers is cruelty. That's her backup whenever she can't get what she wants. I also don't like characters or ppl who try to justify their rage at someone over imagined slights and that's who she is.

She blamed the emperor for sending off his guard and claiming he never liked him, when she doesn't know anything at all about what's going on and that's also just her reason to hate the emperor.

She is UNWORTHY of a loving relationship because she hasn't earned it. Why are the writers trying to force her relationship with Commander Li unto us. He's like her handler and if he's not around to reign her in, she'll go berserk. That's not what love is. That's not what change is. Look at what she did to the emperor and empress, the empress was her friend or tried to be

No sane man should want to be with her. I would love for her to show her true colors, try to hurt the emperor, and when Commander Li returns, he seems she's a lost cause and breaks up with her. But I know that won't happen because the writers want to force this coupling down our throats.

Lol, yeah Kdramas and American shows, you have to wait a whole week. And in American shows, you have those mid season breaks that go one for over a month.

Yeah, I agree. Her hate towards the emperor is unjustified. He was a kid when all of that went down and the person who truly held the truth from her is the very person she's working with to betray the emperor. Even if the emperor dies, his brother is next in line, or the Empress Dowager or Empress. Her silly butt ain't ever going to see that throne. She is a princess and her value to the Imperial family is gaining power through marriage. Where this idea of hers comes from that she can get the throne is ridiculous.

I loved the Double! The Duke!

The only thing I liked about it was the action and the villain who lost it because of his obsession. And the princess. I enjoyed their scenes towards the end. Loved the fighting scenes with the FL and ML. But their romance meant nothing to me. They did spend too much time on building the romances between the side characters.

Look, all I know is dude said my lips stay plump and glistening in case you ever want to kiss them. 😂 This may be a bromance, but imma take my liberties.

Their whole relationship lacked chemistry. I saw the attraction from the ML perspective, but FL came off more as a big sister. Her characterization is part to blame on the writing and ridiculous reason behind her marrying his dead brother. But also the actress just didn't sell the role to me. I didn't see attraction in her eyes when she looked at the male lead, even as he is professing his love for her. Her performance was patronizing IMO. Their scenes together came off very platonic. That's what I mean. When she had the screen time, I didn't feel like she shared the same passion.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy the cheese factor of these dramas. And there are a lot of short dramas have some pretty solid storytelling like the Palace Gambit

Yeah, I know how some of these short dramas are. 😂

Where in the hell did the knife come from?
