What a wonderful start to a new series. I have to say I stopped watching JP dramas due to the wooden acting, predictable…
Yeah Minato has severe self esteem issues. He also, well, his reaction the learning about Sou was less oh a "hurt at not knowing/horrified this friend had to face it alone" (Tsumugi's reaction) and more a "horrified that someone can dare have a disability" (even if it's just subconscious) which just rings so many alarm bells in my head and makes my hair stand on end when Minato comes on screen. Honestly, I was skimming his scenes by episode 2, because I just. Couldn't watch.
ahhh I empathise way too much with that need to cut everyone out when something life-altering and medically unexplainable happens to you. There's so much grief this drama has set up to address.
I remember a chinese historical fantasy drama made one of the male characters cross dress as a woman just because…
I feel compelled to point out that gender identity and sexuality are not the same thing. Also, I don't think it's just an "eccentricity" as the stakes if he gets discovered are incredibly high.
I think he was adopted. Reason why she was putting her hope on the prince that cross dresses since he's her first…
Yes, but he still seems to be legitimately treated as a son of the current king and queen. Ui Seong would have commented about it during one of their tense interactions, I'm sure.
If he was the surviving son, the deposed queen would not allow him anywhere near the palace. Also, that interaction between her and the current queen at the end of ep 1 would have gone very differently.
I saw a tweet saying that they believe that either jungwoo or sunho will die and that's why someone will replace…
The teaser is just that - a tease. They're not gonna carry through with it. They just want to create the illusion of high stakes.
(maybe I watch too many thrillers, where even then the main characters rarely die, but the mystery here is like a goofy ghost story - something to pretend to be scared of, then laugh about)
I can see perhaps a life-altering injury happening. But even then, the drama would have to take quite the melodramatic turn for this, so it's a stretch.
What a sinister grandma! Makes sense, given her position, but she's giving me chills. A good antagonist in a historical is a must. This drama has achieved it.
