they really need to stop adding scenes that won't be in the next episode to the preview. at this rate they'll spoil the ending before the final week is up

he is trying to hold on. the queen isn't trusting him with what she knows, his grandpa is also not trustworthy. his best shot is to continue moving secretly in the dark and he already helped everyone a great deal by doing so. Since the day he entered the palace he was forced to play along.

the Royal taster thing is weird but tbh the killing in this one is toned down from what we're used to.

I don't think it is a rumor but it is such a risky move from the king to trust CP grandfather with such an important card.

oh he just had this whole thing with ateez during smf days. the way he dealt with the situation was unprofessional in my opinion. I think even atiny don't bother anymore but it left a bad taste for me.

Today's episode was crazy! I couldn't help but focus on every move and expression the actors made. So proud of the production here as well. Every moment was worth it

Me too!!

Probably deep rooted tree? I remember they had a couple connected shows about the foundation on Joseon

At the time the royal family didn't have an evidence and to hide their tracks they needed a scapegoat but things soon moved up too quickly with CP outsmarting their plan and they no longer needed to hide any evidence. Both came clean and framed the prince twisting the royals arms.

Maybe it's internalized hate to the royal men. Something about the villians not being protrayed as evil as they are it's ticking me off.
It is to the point when CP annouced his revenge on Choi's family I was taken aback for a sec because I had forgotten how innocent the king family were before the lovers decieded they need to kill everyone who knows.
Honeslty Love is such a funny thing like people do be killing innocents in the name of it, wtf.

it could have been like anyone else working in the palace that he had no choice. But I think he was since the autopsy report was first written by him then Choi acted like he looked again to trick CP. He knew it wasn't suicide and it wasn't the first time he's done it.
With Choi it seems that there's something else going on. They revealed his as the ultra villain too soon and it makes me wonder. He does seem to want go secure his daughter. And today it slipped from him that they were still thinking of running away. Maybe to run away he needs to secure his daughter future and as Crown princess no one can harm her even if her father was a criminal. if he did run away what would it benefit him to make his daughter a queen esp to a king that would loath him and look for ways to kill him. some thing hasn't been revealed.

you mean he'll become?
I don't get it. He not once, showed a slight betreyal to his brother. Whatever he tells minsiter Yoon is what he wants him to beleive. So far, no one knows Do Sung's intentions but us and his personal guard.

Interesting I thought Joseon was sovereign! I really do need to watch those KBS ones for a more proper insight.

the young physician was 100% in on them. we still don't know what happened to the young girl for sure - seeing how no flashback to the incidint there must be something else going on.

I don't think all women are his though, only the palace maids. At least not noble women like her. He sent her a marriage propsal that she can't refuse on his exam day so when Choi found it morning of the exam he ditched to kidnap her but it was the king's plan all along so she can "submit" herself to him.
What the kind did wasn't under the palace rules but wasn't illegal either.

The way this show would be so great if they committed to the comedic plot. It's not the historically significant type with a hint of fiction as Red-sleeve, or the complete fiction with a solid story as Queen Umbrella but it's not even the comedic Mr. Queen.

I don't see the balance between the romcom and the heavy plot. The beginning was promising but I do agree there is quite a lot of capturing and escaping. I would have much rathered some filler time of them finding shelter and showing the long trip they took till grandpas home. How did the capturing of the maid become such an insignificant event?

I may need a quick history lesson but who is the emperor everyone keeps talking about in today's episode? (When it comes to the national seal)

Very interesting point! I did think it was ridiculous that he ended up on the streets without any help but since things are different from one country to another I ignored that bit while watching.

the emotional side is good the actual plot barely supports the emotional plot the writer wants to show. They were lazy with the medical side so they created the disease and now they are also being lazy with everything else. At least the relationships aren't spoiled by those plot holes. The only bad side is that the villain actors aren't getting any justice with their characters. Both are much better actors and they're being dumbed down because the plot they're part of is getting dumber. The family relationship is not explored enough beyond the cliché either

I tend to turn a blind eye to plot holes in romcom because they're meant to be unrealistic as is her illness to begin with. This one is beyond me and I really dumb myself for these plots so bad that I can watch daily and family dramas.

no no no thus drama needs to heal us from Vincenzo not traumatize us

I couldn't take it. What kind of hospital just lets anyone with A MEMORY LOSS AFTER A MAJOR SURGERY BE TAKEN CARE OF BY SOMEONE WHO WAS NEITHRR WITH THEM BEFORE NOR IS A RELATIVE. Like how did they get away with thisssss. Everyone knew she had a husband she clearly loved to share a tiny hospital bed with, no way those nurses didn't see that. THEY LET A STRANGE MAN THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY NEAR HER WHEN SHE CAN'T REMEMBER SHIT. I'm so angry

no fr I think they said he got exempted or bought his way to some disablty clearance. seeing how that family acts tbh it is not far from them
