I don't think there was a typo though. I said in NO circumstances I want the cast to changed. That meant I don't want the cast to be changed. I love them.

Firstly I love Yoona, Chae-Min and everyone. In no circumstances, I want the cast to be changed.
But I think its completely fine if people think that someone else could have done it better. I read many comments that Yoona didn't perform very well. Its their perspective. Most of the people who said it, did not mean any hate. Haters and people who do constructive criticism are different. Not all actors are liked by everyone, that's okay I believe. But yes there is always a right way to say it. So its fine by me.

I am sorry, I did not know that. Maybe they didn't know that it was offensive for Muslims. Maybe if people correctly bring it out, they can change it.

Sorry but what's wrong?

I love the palace politics here. They actually different groups wanting different things and working on it properly. Only if they had focused on this more from the earlier episodes.
Consort Kang, I need to see her getting betrayed and dying in a pathetic way. I cannot bear her anymore. Also she went to the prison, killed the servant, how does that not count as evidence. What more evidence do they need? I really hope the makers show this in the next episode.

Finally ep 10 had something different. We saw some progress in romance as well as action part. Thank God. Hopefully last 2 episodes will be able to wrap up everything nicely.

Maybe. I have just read the ending of the novel. But when novels are adapted to dramas, generally some changes are made, especially if there is romance, its strengthened. But they did not do that, so as someone who would really have loved more of the leads chemistry, its a little disheartening.

I see very less chances of that, but no harm to hope! I actually really wanted more of Yoona and Chae-Min's chemistry. They look so nice together.

Yes. She would fall for him too, but it would be too late by then. So we would be kept away from nice moments between the two leads. That's sad, I think a little more emphasis on romance and a little less emphasis on food would have worked better.

The romance is important. But it has been sidelined. I ain't against the cooking or romance. The makers and editors should have done a better job in having a perfect balance, that's what I think. The cooking parts are really nice, the comedy is great. I like it. But the romance has not been shown that much. In today's episode it was hardly 10-12 minutes. In the last episode there was nothing.
This should have been a 16 episodes show, or otherwise it should have made only one thing its focus. All the remaining things can end up in chaos at the end, which I really don't want for this amazing show!

Exactly.

So true!

Honestly, they stretched the competition for many episodes. It would have been okay if it was a 16 episodes show. The FL has not even realized she likes the king. With 3 episodes remaining, realizing the love, heartfelt moments, attacks angst and then a good climax and ending are all a lot. Instead of making it a cooking based show they should have made a perfect balance or have 16 episodes. The ending would seem rushed at this rate.

Haha happens!

Really, I never knew that. I watched him for the first time in When Life gives you tangerines, haha!

Maybe, but the child is his.

Question-
If he had a child with a mistress, why did he change his will few weeks before his death, and give everything to his wife, with whom he was so miserable according to the mistress?

How to see him as a cheater, he is my middle aged Gwan Sik. Oh my god, what a transition within few months.

So true. Honestly, I really feel that most of the actresses look way better while playing modern roles, than in Hanbok. But this woman, oh my god, she looks so beautiful.

I really hope the makers have something worse in store for the treacherous consort. I mean, sometimes I do get swayed by her beauty, but all the other times, she makes my blood boil. I mean what exceptionally good acting skills.
