It's up on DramaCool(if you search there you have to go to "KBS Drama Special Season 14" and then click on "Episode 8", if you specifically search this episode up there, it does not show up for whatever reason).

Of course, you always got Viki and Kocowa if you want to watch it legally, but I only bring up the pirate sites if you cannot use them by any means whatsoever.

Actually, you are right on the mark about them changing writers! 2 months ago, an article was posted in which the author of the novel this drama based their material from isn't pleased about the sudden shift(due to it detracting from the original source material of course), which starts around Episode 18.

I mean, this was(is) just based off of rumors. Articles where the relationship is confirmed tend to get more interactions in comparison to relationships being speculation and whatnot.

Now, Sohee herself confirmed the relationship through her blog. I would not be surprised if this writer who posted this will next post the relationship being confirmed.

Actually, I do remember there was an episode where he met the King(I forgot exactly which episode it was, was it before or after the battle at Heunghwajin?)

At any rate, he should have been there, because General Kim Hoon was there, and he was working with traitor General Choi Jil for a while until he realized he wasn't fighting the right battle. I don't think Kim Hoon was necessarily close with the King. Plus the King is well aware of Yang Gyu's achievements.

Aw nah it's so joever, if I was hesitating whether or not I should consider even starting this series, this is the final nail in the coffin for my decision on not to watch the whole series. Oh Dal Soo will be a part of Season 2.

Queen Cheonchu being part of it was the most puzzling for me because she didn't want him to take the throne in the first place, only choosing to accept him over her lover Kim Chi Yang(who was greedy for power) when it was too late to save herself.

Honestly? I do get the low overall ratings(at least on this site).

I agree with the comments that said they dragged out the political part of the drama(the part after the end of the second war between the Khitan) a bit too much. Though I also understand if they cant afford to have too long of a final battle between the Khitan if the budget won't allow them to do so. I wouldn't argue with you if you said the Second War against Khitan was the best part about the whole series and most of everything after the Second War paled in comparison to it.

Now that's just disrespectful to the low quality ice cream lol - I'd still eat the ice cream at least, I can't really say the same in regards to watching this series 🙃

He doesn't own a personal Instagram, unfortunately. The closest thing to that is an account managed by a production team of "4춘기"(4 Spring), and it usually only deals with behind-the-scenes stuff for YouTube content "40대의 취미를 찾아서"(In search of a hobby in your 40s). It's a segment on YouTube that Kim Dae Ho makes regular appearances in, with uploads every Tuesday night.

Handle name is "4_tunekie".

March 29th will be Lee Hyori's last episode for this season. Recordings for the final episode will be done on the 26th. As of this moment, there is yet to be a decision on who will be the MC for the next season.

Looks like one of his next major works is Netflix variety show "A-List To Playlist". The show will aim to debut Jo Jung Suk as a singer after 20 years of being an actor.

I didn't feel the need to because a lot of this was based on real life. Plus this was from the first three episodes. I'll edit the post anyways.

The characters or the actors?

King Mokjong is portrayed by Baek Sung Hyun, and Yoo Haeng Gan(Mokjong's favor) is portrayed by Lee Pung Woon.

It's quite small, but it is there. The king before Hyunjong, King Mokjong, is shown together with his favor, Yoo Haeng Gan, and there are some scenes depicting them together, but it's nothing too crazy or deep. Mokjong is fully aware of his true intentions and keeps him at a distance beyond their intimate relationship, and at episode 4, Mokjong is assassinated while heading into exile, while his favor is killed for being a traitor.

JA has cursed the majority of people who once despised HY with how she is. HY compared to current JA is a fucking saint lol

Starting with the upcoming episode, OHMYGIRL's Hyojung will become a permanent MC: https://www.soompi.com/article/1644296wpp/oh-my-girls-hyojung-to-become-permanent-mc-on-fun-staurant

Who here has read the novel this drama is based on? I am curious as to if the current political events that have occurred match the source material from the novel. I see many here at this point are tired of all the rebel crap. Plus I recall an article being posted here regarding the novel's writer being frustrated at how the storyline's progressing(due to it hopping off the main tracks from the novel and taking its own path).

I had no idea he created a YouTube channel dedicated to singing various covers and stuff. I only found out because IU shared on her Instagram stories his cover of "Love Wins All". Here is the link to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cgs-records

To be fair, prior to his "Love Wins All" cover, the first video he posted is an AI cover of one of Gummy's songs(in the description, he posted that he was "a fan of Jo Jung Suk which was why he posted it." It wouldn't have raised a single eyebrow). The second video he posted was just a playlist of winter songs. The description for that one though includes this text: "잘 들어주시고 앞으로 저의 일상도 하나씩 올려볼게요. 기대 많이 해주세요." (Please listen carefully and I will post my daily life one by one in the future. Please look forward to it.) Again no one would have said a thing since he did his best to hide the fact that he was the owner of this channel.

At any rate, I hope to see great things out of his YouTube channel!
