Also, literally no one said that the men are ugly… I don’t know where you got that from.

There are a lot of errors but can still be understood. It is good enough for this type of show. There is a version that is very bad though

I saw a lot of very young women in the 3rd episode. I even thought they were too young to get married and doubted that they are mature enough.

I don’t think that’s true. We have traditional marriages in our (Asian) country too. In fact, dating (openly) before marriage is extremely rare and frowned upon here, but personality still matters in picking a partner, so is religion and values. Hobbies were only a consideration in the most recent years and depends on the mindset of the person who is getting married. All these things are taken into consideration. Korea as I know is way more open-minded about people getting to know each other before marriage, they often have blind dates to introduce a possible partner in a traditional marrriage. Money is important of course, but it’s not the only consideration even for traditional marriages.

Why is it so easy to kill a king but so hard to kill a mere court lady? She is disrespecting the queen dowager, competing with the queen, and she is even blackmailing the king himself but no one is able to make her disappear? No one will even ask about her or miss her. She is just a high ranked servant.

The bad scheming is getting rediculous. I think the writer is thinking "since the female lead is so good at baduk, she should be so good at predicting people moves and always ahead of them", but since the writer is lacking in that area, the female lead appears to the viewers to be just jumping to conclusions and her conclusions magically turn out to be true. Like when she "predicted" that the king's uncle wouldn't be able to see the princess' replacement's face because her replacement "won't show him her face". She just cannot cover her face just because she refused to show it. She won't be able to talk so that he won't recognize that it wasn't the princess' voice. When her veil fell the only thing she was able to do is to turn her head. If it wasn't for the luck of the ambasedor's interference, she would've been easily caught. The "he is definetly lying because there is no way he could've seen her face" was a total shot in the dark, she was just lucky it turned out to be true.

I get that the writer maybe using the sickness as a tool, but I think it's a wasted opportunity not to come up with a reason for her sickness. I don't like when non-leading characters are just used as NPCs and are only there to facilitate the leading characters' stories. There is room for everyone to shine, and the best dramas are the ones where every character has a story of its own.

She might be. I think it’s easy to poison anyone without actually serving them the food. For some reason they don’t do the testing for poison with silver spoon thing here or the court lady tester. When the king was getting poisoned, the prince was used as a tester for some reason. When he stopped testing, they got to him. Usually the king wouldn’t eat any food that wasn’t tested for poison.

I like how Sang Hyo is the only one who is very concerend about "Mong Woo" without actually knowing her identity or getting close to her. He is just a friendly human being with no hidden agenda.

Do you think the court lady is poisoning the queen in order to replace her? Even though she isn't the one serving her food, it's suspecious how everyone in her way to becoming a queen is always sick and dying.

The female lead is so stupid with so much confidence. This kind is like an active bomb to herself and everyone around her. I don't think she realizes how stupid she is or how weak her "strategies" are, because she gets magically saved every time her extremely bad ideas blow up in her face.

I enjoyed the first half, it became dull after that. Not many killings and it was focused more on the other characters. The oops I killed someone parts were really exciting and funny, reminded me of the first season of Fargo, wished it was all about that. I lost interest when it became like a job and the murders were happening in the background.

The revenge plot is just awful and pointless. The drama would've done better without. Why really? Either come up with a good reason for revenge or don't do it! It's all cliche anyways and no one is minding it, but to force all the cliches at once just for the sake of it, it's just bringing the drama down.

Yeah but even this is only explained at the end of the 4th episode. Before that you’d think he is just that lucky. Got to be careful when there’s only 8 episodes. The 4th episode in a 16-episode drama is not a spoiler but with only few episodes it is.

Doesn't the synopsis contain spoilers? I'm halfway through the drama but still haven't reached the part about the ability.

I don't think we knew her enough to judge if she deserved better. Of course no one deserves that ending. But I mean what good did she do to deserve a better ending than what was coming to her? We didn't even get a glimpse of her past life.

Very unlikable characters, it was hard to sympathize with any of them. Even the kids are annoying, and the supposedly nice nurse. It's surprising to me since I have no problem sympathizing with literally anyone. This movie didn't trigger any emotion from me except disgust. The CGI is bad. The story was somewhat enjoyable though. I wouldn't recommend it but I wouldn't recommend against it.

Why aren't they bringing back Hong Jin Ho? He was a delight.

The experts are assuming that what women want is "specs". They thought the only reason not so many women chose the dentist with wealthy parents who own a hospital is that "women thought he wouldn't go for them". Meanwhile, the expressions on the women's faces were like "That's good for you. So what?". Those women aren't here to hire this guy, all he revealed is how wealthy and successful he is. This is nothing if you have a bad personality. Relying on these things to attract women will only attract women who are in it for the money.

She knows his brother died at that time and he had to carry the weight of the nation on his shoulders. It would be very selfish to think that he would've had time for her.
