Huiju and QM's face offs are my current favourite scenarios. Do it, pull each other down, SHOW ME what you got! I don't hate a single character in the drama, I don't know but I am able to see everyone's perception, I may dislike some, but I don't hate anyone. I am glad even if the world is against them, even if they both are against each other, their secretaries would be with them for them. Yeah they might soon need therapy due to the stress they are getting these days (btw which would be increasing with every episode), but they have a lot of money. Their bonds with their secretaries respectively are the best.
Some trivia- Okay the actor who plays Ian's father (shown in flashbacks) is Son Jun Ho. He is married to Kim So Hyun, who plays Ian's mother (yup the accident sequence we saw in today's episode, same woman). So ML's parents are a real life couple. They are musical actor couple famous for theatre roles in South Korea. They also have a son whose name is Juan. Juan Ian similar! Haha!
The drama since the first episode has made it clear that Huiju is not a likeable character. Only in some instances…
Absolutely. We and Huiju clearly remember Queen Mother telling her that now QM need not to teach her anything (due to breakup with ML) and that somethings cannot be taught to everyone regardless how great the teacher (I believe its a dig to her commoner status). That is why I was thrilled to see her defying everything and wearing white clothes. And just like you said, Huiju is a good person only to the people who deserve it. She doesn't have to impress all by following rules. I absolutely adore her.

When I said Huiju is unlikeable, I meant from a society perspective, like not from mine or yours perspective, but from noble standards. But I think this is what the drama is trying to portray, At the end all these events are part of classism. Both Huiju and Ian are against it. They are repeatedly saying they do not want to bend to their rules, they will do what they like. ML always was suffocated, to follow rules, to not be better than his brother, and now his nephew is being forced. That's why he likes Huiju, who doesn't care about the rules. That's why remember even Ian wore inappropriate clothes to King's birthday. Honestly if she starts following rules suddenly, it will be really odd to me. But yes as you said "She wants the title, privilege & status & power & more money by being a royal (& she'll get everything, I know) but she doesn't want the responsibility or work or decorum of a royal", I agree to this, if this makes her rude, yeah she is that, she doesn't have as such modesty. But yeah I do understand what you are saying, I may not fully agree but yes we can just both agree to disagree.
No. I think as a Crown prince he would have a private tutor?
But the baby king goes to school, has no private tutor. Why shall the crown prince have a private tutor then. But again maybe this depends on choice of the parents, maybe both are allowed.
The drama since the first episode has made it clear that Huiju is not a likeable character. Only in some instances…
Yes, I like her character because of that. I have seen many strong FLs in kdramas, who by ep 6 becomes selfless, kind, even if they were kind of rude in the first episode. I like this, that her personality continues even in ep 5-6. Its just that I have finally found something different. Not all main characters need to be very likeable, just because she is greedy, selfish, doesn't mean she cannot have a love affair. For me, its just a story, till I enjoy it, its fine, the main characters do not need to be very likeable and be morally correct, I do not need to idolize characters every time. But again that's just me, my opinion. I have friends who need to like main characters to enjoy a drama, so yeah to each their own.
Ep. 5: I did not like this episode. I think it was extremely rude of Heejoo (& ill-concept for drama to promote)…
The drama since the first episode has made it clear that Huiju is not a likeable character. Only in some instances like when she is with the baby king, or with her secretary, SML she acts completely sane. Because these are the people she considers dear. But for others she is a bad person. She is greedy, wants the title for a selfish reason, everything that normally a FL of a drama is not, she is that. She is the one to break rules, do things she likes to. She is an illegitimate daughter, a commoner. From her status to her behaviour nothing is actually appropriate for a royal life. That's the story is about. How such a woman becomes the wife of 21st century prince (literal translation of Korean title). So you may like her or hate her, but that's what she is, and I would be glad if they show us this personality of her till the last episode. I like her because finally we have a FL who is a kind of a villain, something different than what we see in other dramas, where FLs are selfless, needy, kind. She is nothing of that. But its her story. But again, I mean no offence to you, I am just sharing my perspective.
In my opinion, there're so much that they are keeping hidden, 1) Hui ju went from being terrible at archery to…
Wasn't the first one cleared, I mean we were shown she stole the key to the archery arena and practiced there before ML found her, then he told the principal to open the archery arena for everyone who wanted to practice. I think that was it, that she practiced a lot. The second one, I think ML was attracted towards her since in their childhood. The third one for sure they had history, about the day at the arena, and him allowing the the place to be open for all. I felt he just didn't want to tell this to Hyon.
My God, heat wave in HP, rest all of us are dead! I was told it shouldn't be lower than 19 because we shouldn't be giving pressure to the AC, ITS a freaking machine!!! Huhh!
If you read the character gist released by the production house for SML, its written there how he is very difficult…
Nope that weirdo made a long comment about irrelevant things, said some rude stuff, and then said they will block you. Ignore them, we are happy discussing stuff, no wasting time on haters.
If you read the character gist released by the production house for SML, its written there how he is very difficult…
Exactly. On another note- block that weirdo. Don't engage with haters, protect your peace and enjoy the drama and discussion. He/she is wasting their time on hating a drama. As if someone put a gun on their head to watch it and then being rude to others. What a weirdo.

Yeah his part is confusing to me actually, I have to see more episodes, I cannot decipher his character by now. But I do remember him and Queen Mother having a scene where they held hands (in a formal way) for Waltz, and she told him he was her last option to ig stop the wedding if he vetoes, now whom he will choose and why, we have to see. I don't think we before episode 8, we won't know anything much, considering episode 5-6 is entirely about ML and FL and their marriage fixation.

Also we need a private proposal first at the yacht, before the show off proposal at the function. Huhh!
