But the merchant did not seem aware of the plan or if he was, it was risky. He could have been killed. It was mainly done to divert the King's suspicion on Dan Ok. Not sure they wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

Mokinhoe found him because he used to travel to the Gyeonsang Province and they wanted him to send a message to the Army stationned there to join their rebellion. Not because they wanted to recruit him. All the people in Mokinoe's gatherings were anonymous anyway.

Then Yoo Ha gave away his identy. Merchant Kim gave his to San and San understood it could be Yoo Ha so he followed him and met merchant Kim by coincidence. I can't fathom that they planned all this.

For me there is a part of good circumstances.

He is cornered. His mom, left state counselor, Mokinhoe, they will put pressure on him. Plus he went to the Queen mother saying he is Lee Seol. And he looks more and more obsessed by Dan Oh, upset by the situation and jealous of Kang San. It will take him a lot of courage and of intelligence to get out of this alive.

I also kind of remember Kang San said he met the watchman 8 years ago. But strangely when he meets Shi Yeol as the watchman, Shi Yeol introduces himself formally like they never met before. And when San aks him if he was shadowing him since the first time they met, the only flashbacks we see are the ones after they met at the guesthouse. Plus now the evil King is investigating the surviving guards of late CP who could be the watchman. Also why San and Dan Oh sent them to the merchant Kim knowing he could be endangered?

That part is still too uncertain for me.

I think Heung Jo only knows her fiancé died and she does not know under what circumstances. Probably master Jang will tell her the Watchman killed his son after he finds out that she is alive.

There are hints at the fact that Shil Yeol killed master Jang's son. But there are also hints saying it is not him. It cannot be him. It would be too tragical for Shi Yeol and Heung Jo. She would never be able to accept the man who killed her fiancé she loved dearly.

There is no going back for Yoo Haa. San will let him become King?

Too late. He is in too deep in the game to change his tune now. Saying he Impersonated the deposited heir will bring him no good among Mokinhoe who will feel cheated.

OMG things are getting more and more intense. The two brothers will fight each other! Yeah!

This statement in the drama really took me aback as I was sure close family blood is ok if it is the same blood type. I had to look that issue up.

There are discussions of cases where a direct blood donation (son) led to the death of the recipient (father/mother) and it was explained that because the blood was too similar, the recipient's immune system failed to identify the blood received (the residual antigen parts) as foreign but the residual antigen parts transfused identified the recipent as foreign and attacked his tissues causing death.

I guess the drama used these cases where the donor was immediately identified as direct donor.

There are rare cases and I failed to find a rule saying that "relatives cannot donate blood". I guess the hospitals and blood donation systems have means to prevent this or reduce the risk.

I am glad I learnt something watching today's eps of the drama.

To me the second couple is unrealistic and kind of creepy. The older woman is a cougar who started to see the kid as new prey to swallow alive then she is now overly maternal and protective of him and invites him to live with her when they are not even in a relationship.

It is a weird situation but pretty sure the writers will make it work.

Third couple in the making too. Quiet caring doctor + rich childish heiress. Why not?

Things are going too fast between these the two ex lovers and their kid but at least it triggers funny situations. FL is on the loosing side now because she has to share her son with his dad but I guess they will find a balance for their little family. Still a lot of eps remaining so I fear there will be roadblocks in the process. Nothing too sad I hope.

Chippendales? In slang language: " good-looking young men with attractive bodies who do stage shows in which they take most of their clothes off."

I watched them in Once we get married and dropped it. They could not make me keep watching but here, I really like them so far. Maybe because the story is more consistent and surprising for me.

The "ex lovers with a hidden child" trope again but it's cute, funny and entertaining. The main couple and the kid are great and bring good emotional moments. The business parts are not too angsty or too far-fetched. It is an enjoyable watch despite the noona secondary romance which is basically a vice general manager in her thirties lusting after a young innocent chippendale. Hope it develops into something better.

Last time they met, she was a kid only. Then they meet again at the capital and she gets infatuated with him god knows how. I found she was pretty useless, childish and immature. When she learnt the truth about who he loved and what he did, the swan she saw in him turned into a crow. He lied to her and manipulated her and wanted to marry her and make her a subsitute for her dead sister. It is disgusting. Lucky she managed to fly away considering what the guy did afterwards. He was no good man.

I just thought until now he was not much of a fatherly figure.

My undersanding is that the former bodyguard of the crown prince, Lee Seol's father, saved young Lee Seol. For me That boduguard is not Shi Yeol because in ep11 formaly introduce himself to San. It is also said that Shi Yeol has been protecting San since these two met (at the guesthouse) so Shi Yeol is a different watchman and he did not kill Heung So's fiancé.

But maybe it was him all the time even if his looks suggest he is too young to be have been there years ago to save young Lee Seol.

These two should not be in cahoots with Master Jang and playing with fire. Probably they won't survive in the end.

Yuk Ho says Dan Oh is like a daughter for him but they do not have a father daughter relationship. He does not behave like a father for her and she is taking care of him like any of the other scholars in her guesthouse. I just felt like it was not place to ask San to leave in order to protect Dan Oh.

I did not expect Yu Ha and Yuk Ho would become so annoying. Also San looks so powerless... At least the ending of this ep was cute.

But who is her husband?
