i completed 15 episodes of this drama few days ago but it still doesn't fit to me there was no tension nor any…
It's okay if you didn't like it. Different people like different things. It's high rated because people who liked the drama, they just didn't like it but loved it way too much that it tops their list but it's just overrated for the people who didn't like it. Understandable.
I don't think he killed himself, and according to history Queen woo didn't have any kids after marrying the other…
The head maid wasn't pregnant as well, maybe the problem lied in both of them. I'm talking about the drama portrayal as there was a scene where the King said that I will make your dreams come true which is being a great warrior. The lily trees were planted by him. And that poisonous drink, he poured it by himself. That's why I thought.
Bal Gi is the early example of childhood trauma and PTSD. According to Wiki "Balgi then committed suicide due to his guilt for bringing a great crisis to his royal family and country."
I love open endings where you keep doubting everyone till the end and come up with your theories but here the screenplay was little off. My theory is that the King poisoned himself to save the Queen. Because or else he had to dethrone her even through the reproductive problem lies in him too probably. Then somehow after his death, chaos would have aroused. So, it's better to create a peaceful goryeo and the Queen was capable of achieving that.
Or else you wouldn't understand why the female lead is acting in that way and you'll end up hating the drama.

It's such an unusual sight to see a woman as clan chief
