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.
Someone who knows Korean should please translate the character pages properly*https://tv.jtbc.co.kr/cast/PR10011702/4…
Sure,
Jae Soo: His appearance was harsh, resembling that of a gangster. Due to his quick temper, loud voice, and frequent anger, he was entrusted by Ji Hwan with customer management, with the intent of tempering his outbursts. Although he practiced smiling and received customer complaints with kindness, it was always a personal struggle. With two previous gambling convictions, he grew up in a family so poor that attending elementary school was not possible. Despite the absence of someone to teach him how to study, there were many older brothers in the neighborhood who taught him how to punch. Whenever he had money, he played games, and when he had more money, he gambled, believing everyone lived that way. When Ji-hwan joined the Bulldog gang, discipline was enforced on him as the new kid. Upon discovering that he was the boss's only son, he thought that he was ruined. He didn't respect Ji Hwan at first due to pride, but after his life was saved by Ji-hwan, he began to treat him respectfully as an older brother.
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
