I think you should just give up the idea of Mong Woo using tactical precision drone strikes, she's more like sawn off double barreled shotgun. Many people will get hurt because of her scatter brained plots.
After 10 episodes, I think it's safe to say this show is cruising on the strength of the romance and getting a…
Good summary for me too. I think the actress is too pretty for this role especially her large eyes. They would need to slap lots of plastic on top of her and turn her into an orc for it to work. Someone still pretty but less so, for example actress from Mr Queen or Coffee Prince would be more suitable for this type of cross-dressing role.
Well that's disappointing. It's frustrating how kdrama writers these days take so few risks. They have to follow…
In this particular show, suspension of disbelief is very difficult, it's like the elephant in the room every time there is a scene between them. The FL doesn't even make a laughable attempt to lover the voice or act more like a guy. I blame this on the laziness of director and not the actress.

It was standard practice in ancient Greece for an older male to mentor a younger male lover. In fact, the elite sacred band of Thebes were handpicked from pair of lovers, the idea being they would fight to the death for their lover.
I remember that the FL for "Moon embracing the Sun" got pretty bad flak for the same reason.
I was referring to the wooden acting, but you are right. Should add unbelievable cross-dressing to kdrama trope list. However, in this show, it is so blatant that even my suspension of disbelief is not working, esp in every scene between FL and King,
Go easy on the FL actress here. I get it that she's not a Dame Judy Dench, but I think her acting is passable…
I've seen Deep Rooted Tree. Her acting was even more bland there too, but she was not the main character, and it was compensated by the great acting of the actor who played King Sejong. Maybe she's deficient in facial muscles or sumthing 😒 But I have to say, my "ridiculous kdrama/cdrama cross dressing pretty guy" filter is malfunctioning and its beginning to affect my appreciation of an otherwise good series. I hope the King expose him to be a she asap.
What an interesting plot! I hope it continues to keep the same intensity until the end. Still hoping for less…
Go easy on the FL actress here. I get it that she's not a Dame Judy Dench, but I think her acting is passable for her role here. I see her as willful but a pampered and naive nobleman daughter, who overrates her capability, thinks she can outwit the King, but is way out of her league. Yes, she's totally not convincing as a male at all, but then I blame it on the makeup department + director who is not filling to go the distance to turn a beautiful kdrama actress ugly. Scared that they would lose the Korean audience? Just like in castaway diva where FL still looks like a cosmetic model after spending years surviving on a deserted island.
