I have also noticed that some previews were not in the following ep. Next ep probably.

I agree Da Li's dad was a person with a good heart and he would not mind a divorcee as long as the man loves his daughter. But probably TJ hid the fact that he was married once so Da Li's father thought he was manipulating his daughter's feelings.

It is still possible that he married and divorced when she was in the Netherlands but if it is the truth, it means he married another woman as a transaction for family interest while having Da Li's in his mind. I surely hope she does not go to a man who would do something like that.

I don't question him because he broke up with her. It is because he did it thinking he could always get her back. That is an egoistic and a full of oneself attitude and obviously he has not changed that much.

Hope we will soon have a better idea of what led to the break-up. Today maybe.

The Art gallery curator is looking down on him despite his money and success because she thinks he is a new rich who knows nothing about art. After all he completely destroyed an "object of art" thinking it was garbage. His mannerism and the loud way he treats people cannot gain him their sympathy and their good opinion.

I find the curator and Da Li's attitudes towards Moo Hak quite interesting. It is like a reminder. People will have an understanding of who you are depending on what you show to them. Intentionally or unintentionally.

It would not be very consistent with how the character has been presented so far. He is supposed to have broken up with her expecting to get her back one day and he never forgot her during these last 5 years. How could he have married and divorced during the same time unless it was a loveless marriage? That would put a very bad light on his character.

My theory is that he married and divorced before he met Da Li (or in the meantime). He is older than her and it would not be surprising. Possibly he hid that part and when Da Li's dad learnt the truth he asked him to call off the wedding and break up with his daughter.

If it is true that he is a divorcee, I believe the marriage happened before rather than after.

The trope "Met and fell in love as teens" is already a bit too much but I can accept it as is contributes to give depth to Mi Na's mysterious character. But I surely hope they don't also serve us the "Twins separated at birth" trope.

If Nevertheless can have a "happy ending", this drama can have one too.

The biggest question is: what is she alive for? Why is she a Crown Prince and what purpose does she serve? To exist just because her mother asked her to be the Prince does not really make sense. Her mother told her she was special and the chosen one but chosen for what? She was never supposed to live as a princess, as Crown Pince or as a King. When she is done serving her purpose, she will leave to live happily ever after.

After two eps, the dead count is already scary but I think it will be an happy ending. Hopefully.

I like the two leads and their opposite personalities. I really want to see how they are going to develop their skills and persona and become closer to each other. I also trust the second leads not to be so bad in reality.

My most anticipated drama every week is One the woman although it is not very popular on MDL. I love the personality of the FL and it is the first time I see the ML in a relaxed fun role. Also the whole doppelganger thing is keeping me hooked even if lately I think the bad guys are being too reckless.

This period if the year is good for kdrama lovers. Plenty of good drama airing or soon to be airing.

Ep1 is silly but the humor is enjoyable.

The new wife will probably support her son to become Crown Prince in the stead of Lee Hwi. It is inevitable and expected as Lee Hwi is not a man and she will not be able to keep the cross dressing forever.

I wish a strong writing as well with a consistent and intelligent fast paced story and good character developement. That's all that matters.

But he can say in good faith that he thought it was his twin sister and he was ordered by the State minister to do it for the sake of the nation. He could not know it was the young Crown Prince disguised as his sister the maid.

Anyway it is 10 years later now. Jung Ji Woon went to study in the Ming Empire and has not been with his father all this time. Maybe you are right they are estranged. Probably his father has stopped killing people and he has reached an higher position. Now it will be about Lee Hwi finding a way to make him accountable for the killing of her brother and maid friend and all the people he killed for free and how Ji Woon will react.

I am asking myself if the man does not have personality disorder because he looks like two different animals. One is a good father and attentive to his son's education and manners. Another is a psycho killer dressed in black to assassinate young maids in the middle of the day.

I suspect he will use the "I just did my job" card and he will find some redemption for himself.

Yes it is what I am saying. Why he would change his "habit" because of a business agreement If she cared, she would have told him to stop seeing other women. But she just did not care. For the few moments we saw her, she seemed a very scheming person with her own objectives. I don't mean she is a bad apple. But she is clearly not so innocent. As for him, he is a pushover in his family and not very smart. Hopefully all this will fill his brain with some courage and wisdom.

Do you mean he wanted to protect her from the greed of his own family? But marrying her would not have allowed them to take over the Art gallery. The shares and management decision would still have remained in Da Li's family.

In fact what is happening is the exact contrary. The Art gallery is unprotected and weakened by a conspiracy which wants to ruin its business and take over the land. If he really wanted to protect her, he should have married her and become a main shareholder by increase of capital. This way, with his Group backing the Gallery, no one would dare mess with it like they are doing now.

He had a very decent role in My Unfamiliar Family. It was only for a small (but important) role and a few episodes but his character was charming, mature and even fun.

Their marriage is a business arrangement so why he would not go find some affection elsewhere? Plus he found her creepy because she would not confront him about his cheating but she would stay quiet and cold. This is why he likes the new her who can tear him to shreds with a few words.

It is not only about what people do but also about what people intentionnally do not do. Not telling the truth is also lie. Knowingly manipulating the situation for their own profit is not fair and sometime, an offence.

I agree that the Kang Mi Na case is difficult to assess at this stage. She has some positives but also some negatives. She fought to solve her sad situation as a teen. After she was married she investigated her sister in Law's bad deeds at the musuem. She also looked into the arson case... But she also lied to Sang Wook about her identity. I suspect when she was in the USA and asked to meet him to explain something, she was ready to tell the truth but he did not go meet her. The more worrying part is if we assume she knew about Yeon Joo and used her to be killed in her stead so she can sail abroad, that is really a bad thing to do.

Hope she will show up soon so we can know what she is really made of.

The two first episodes were good at setting a dramatic backstory which explains the personality of the Crown Prince and the way he behaves as an adult. But 10 years later, plenty of things changed and the new developments must be consistent, interesting by brining new challenges and take account of the past. I have seen some drama with great backstories for the main leads but after they become adults, the plot is everywhere. Finger crossed this one will keep its qualities.

Ep1 and 2 were about the childhood and how the switch dramatically happened. The real political game starts next week with the introduction of new characters. So even if the two first eps were good, I believe the the biggest challenge is still to come. I don't mind the romance. I am eager to see how she will open to someone (who is the son of her enemy) and deal with her male identity at the same time. Also I hope the political struggle will be consistent and credible with strong opponents and good actions. It would be sad if it is all about palace plots.

It is particulary true in the end of ep2 after the death of the Crown Princess. Everything happen so fast it is like a patchwork of situations aimed at taking us to their new encounter the fastest way possible. Hope it will be better in the next eps.
