It appears that Shin Ye Eun will not be taking on this project unfortunately. She was reported to be in talks…
As much as I like Shin Yeeun, she doesn't fit for the Queen. She lacks that fierce, macho look which the main character requires.
Also, I doubt her agenci will allow her. They are very strict in crafting her image as the girl-next-door. Jumping into full action, and somewhat "bully" character, won't sit well with them. They won't even let her dance in variety shows. LOL. That's how they overprotect and control her image.
I have a two theory for the ending, it's either the young king will step down and let his uncle rule the country…
The story is about the Grand Prince and Hwiju. The Korean title is "Wife of the 21st Century Prince". So, whoever sits on that throne doesn't really matter. The kid can stay, and the Prince remains as regent, while Hwiju as the Prince's Wife and the king's in-law.
Everything else in the story are just plot devices to help the Prince and Hwiju fall in love for real and eventually get married for real.
Is it only me who think same kinda scenes are repeating in kdramas nowadays. Why people can't be more creative…
Because that's what the audience wants. ^_^
Look at Rimance pocket books, it's all the same. Rich "somewhat bad" guy who is well-toned, and so on.
Look at Webtoons, dungeon superhero character that started as trash.
Look at Mangas, some unwilling victim is kidnapped to another world.
Look at Tdramar, it's BL and GL aed Palace romance.
Look at scifi in TV and novels, it's a grand scheme of space exploration and invasion.
And so on.
It os not about a lack of creativity or innovation, it's about what your target market wants because you need to sell your work if you want your career to be your source of income.
So far it's very predictable. Too many typical twists and plots and scenes.
The dangerous thing about this approach is they're luring in the audience based on curiosity. Since it's predictable and the usual tropes, the audience is now expecting a very big twist. If they fail to deliver, well, expect low ratings because of a massive disappointment.
Koreans go to wedding during theirs lunch breaks: 30-minute ceremonies, you give money- you get an hotel lunch…
Giving money to almost every aspect of social life is an Asian thing. Even here in the Philippines, that's culturally traditional.
Let's say your son or daughter brought introduced them, after that dinner or whatever, the parents will give money to the bf/gf. Or, food if they met at home.
Same with funerals and weddings and birthdays, and so on.
It's normal in Korea because they're in the Northern hemisphere.Totally dark evenings:- Spring: 20:30 to 21:00-…
Thus, marriage ceremonies can be as short as 20 minutes. It's just an event. It's not for formality. Formality is when you submit your marriage application to the family register.
Some already went through the marriage ceremony but later decided they won't submit their marriage application because they changed their minds. They are not divorced because the law has no record of them ever getting married. The ceremony event is meaningless.

Secondly, weddings in the Korean culture are only ceremonial. For the benefit of family and friends.
Oftentimes, they are already married before the ceremony.
Korean law recognizes your marriage the moment you submit your marriage application to the family register. It's between the couple. No need for an officially licensed person to conduct anything.

Yes, it always come down to š°
The character's name is ķģ£¼ (Hwiju) not ķ¬ģ£¼ (Huiju/Heeju). Different pronunciations. Different names. And often also different meanings.
ķģ£¼ (Hwiju) means regal jewel.

It's the Chinese Dungeons & Dragons, epic high fantasy love story that transcends space-time.
Totally worth it.

This Jdrama adaptation?
The Kdrama?
Or the new anime adaptation?
I'm assuming the anime is closer to the manga source? How about the Jdrama adaptation?
