I just don’t get why he would pretend to not remember Juhee if he still has his old memories due to the spoon……
“Real SC as Fake Gardener” doesn't have his memories as Real SC / Fake TY.
Also, she is not aware who he is either.
Remember, the victim of a Golden Spoon doesn't retain their memories of their original identity. They don't even have a chance to recover it. They can only be told about it, like in Real TY's case, Real SC revealed it to him.
I love the drama and enjoyed every moment of the crazy ride. However, the ending was a little too rush for me…
The gardener: Yes, that would be the logical conclusion.
Real SC still has his golden spoon. It's useless for him since he is the owner. Someone else must eat using his golden spoon so Real SC's memories can be recovered.
And, well, Real SC as Fake Gardener, probably sold his Golden Spoon not realizing what it was.
Real Tae Yong is the biological son of Real Hyeon Do.
i just realized that juhee recognized seungcheon's face was "plot armor" as in she shouldn't be able to, the writers…
Nope, she did not remember him. It was just a tingling sensation, if you will. Or, “have we met” moment.
But she'll have no memories of him other than the first time she met the “original gardener”, and then when she bumped into the “Real SC as the gardener”.
Also, even if there are clues dropped, like the prayer thing, she won't make the connection because as far as her memories are concerned, Real SC was poisoned. She will need proof a switch occurred before she can reconcile her memories.
Without that proof that a Golden Spoon was used, their memories can't be jogged. It will probably cause a headache, like the first time Real Tae Yong became Fake SC, conflicting memories, one memory erasing another memory, and so on.
^_^
But… as they say, “love transcends spacetime”. So, yeah, more likely than not they'll fall in love again, just without their true memories of each other.
Best ending. Story wasn't stretched. If this was 16 episodes, it would not be as impactful and meaningful as it is. If it was only 10, it wouldn't be enough.
Ideally they should distribute the spoon at minimum. They offer huge benefit but making it so easy to get
You're forgetting, not everyone can see the mysterious old lady.
It is also not in her power to be seen. It comes from a person's deepest desires.
In episode 15, we were shown that majority of people either doesn't see the mysterious old lady, or they ignore her.
But, let's put numbers and put things into some perspective.
The population of Korea in 2021 is at 51.74 million. — Let's assume 50% of that population saw the mysterious old lady. That's 25.87 million — Of that, only 50% bought the Golden Spoon. That's 12.935 million. — Of that, only 50% used it. That's 6.467 million. — Of that, only 50% permanently switch. That's 3.233 million out of 51.74 million (or 6.249%).
“50%” is a very generous assumption. Using the figures above: — 25.87 million have twisted desires in their heart — 12.935 million are willing to be tempted — 6.467 million are ready to do it, to hell with their real families — 3.22 million will never change their mind and make it permanent.
Personally, I doubt 6.467 million are ready to sacrifice their real families, especially in a country deeply rooted in familial bonds. It can go as low as 1% or 64,670.
64,470 actually doing it, now that's more plausible. — Out of that, 80%, or 51,576, will go back to their real families. — Only 12,894 individuals will make it permanent. — To be honest, this is still a very generous figure.

Unpopular comment, the most unrealistic person here for me (aside from Juhee) is real SC's mother. She's too prideful…
Since you left a public comment…
There are people like Real SC's mother, so, yes, it is actually realistic. People today are full of pride, so I'm not sure why you thought of it as unrealistic.
But then again, what “pride” are we talking about? “I'd rather sell my organs than be in debt to a good person” or “I'd rather sell my organs than be in debt to a bad person”?
You'd can still have a good life even if you have a debt to a good person. But you'll have hell if you are in debt with a bad person.
We've been in similar situations. We always chose, and will always choose, to find other ways than be in debt with people/institutions we know, or suspect, will give us hell. It is not worth it. If selling our organs is the last recourse, then so be it. My relatives, my friends, they're like that too.
isn't it strange that there are no princesses? i know they wouldn't be that relevant to the storyline but how…
Actually, you can increase your chances of having a son or a daughter. If you've watched other dramas where this was discussed, those are partially true.
There were also studies about this in “modern times” and there were books written about which ways and techniques got a “modern” approval. My parents know those methods, hahaha, and us, their three children, are the result of it. I also know it. LOL.
So, based on that, I would not be surprised the king increased his chance to have a son than a daughter. There is Science behind it. ;P
It's very easy to have a daughter, one reason is a lot of men are doing it wrong. But you can increase your chance of having a son by as much as 80% to 90% if you know what you need to do.
The part I am always waiting is the confrontation between the Queen and the Queen Mother. It's concubine vs concubine. No royal bloodline vs no royal bloodline.
It is the most ironic thing in the entire ancient history of humankind. I haven't seen nor read that kind of plot even in Western stories.

Since Real SC is the owner, even if he is living as Fake Gardener (the victim of another Golden Spoon), it will have no effect on him.
If other people use his spoon, they will acquire the memories of Real SC and discover he became a victim of the gardener's Golden Spoon.
Also, she is not aware who he is either.
Remember, the victim of a Golden Spoon doesn't retain their memories of their original identity. They don't even have a chance to recover it. They can only be told about it, like in Real TY's case, Real SC revealed it to him.
