I agree with you. The way the writer gave him too much of screen time itself is already like a preparation for saying goodbye to me haha

That means his acting is sooo good as a villain. I remember some actors in my country ever said that... the achievement for villain actors are being hated haha

I agree. I actually didnt think abt the size of certain organ hahahaha, I just thought perhaps the Queen sense that it's the body of someone who instead does NOT have a certain organ anymore hehe

I also don't hate Byung-in as well. Usually in K-dramas if they made you soo annoyed with the second male lead, that means the show going to have a happy ending with the second male lead perhaps going to experience a lot of loss in the end.

"Though I don't see why the Queen had to tell her CJ isn't dead"

I think it's bcs the Queen knows Hwajin comes from the family of power (the Cho family), so Hwajin could help in perhaps doing something abt it, esp to throw out the bad politicians from outside the palace. Hwajin said something related to her father in eps 17 to one of the politicians, right?

Maybe bcs he's going to be killed in the end.

I really think Byeong-in will die in the end, maybe sacrificing his life for So-yong. It seems his love is too extreme, and usually in K-dramas this kind of second male lead will face a 'happy' ending in the form of sacrifice...

The ending moment of eps 18 made me gasp so hard especially when the palace guard hurt the Queen's aide (ugghhh I hate those guards!!!). Byeong-in had a change in mind on the last minute after choking So-yong and pushing her to the edge of the cliff. I guess it's due to his strong love to her. So in the preview of eps 19 they both ran together from the palace guards (who were surprised with Byeong-in's act of treason) and it seems they will meet Cheoljong after that.

Eps 18!!!!!!

Been watching this drama since the first day it's aired, and no, it's always been 20 eps in Asianwiki and many other sources that time since that day.

As a realist, I personally think Soyong and Cheoljong in the end will live outside of the palace, maybe even in exile (you know, sometimes things can get political and countries like Korea cares a lot abt someone's reputation). I got the hint from Cheoljong's conversation with the Queen when he brought her out of the palace he said he's giving the gift she always wanted, that is "Freedom".

1. I agree. I personally think something abt death will happen to the King's cousin, or maybe to Hwajin, or something related to both of them.
2. Agree again! Also, the drama itself was started with a 'fake' death where BongHwan's soul was then just moved to SoYong's body.
3. Most likely so.

I think she'll be back. But maybe not as a villain. Coz the King's brother is still in love with her and it seems that brother will do something after knowing the King has died (that part, I hope, was just faking).

ROYAL BABYYYYYYYY????? YEAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

It's a very good one indeed. I love the 'ending' hahahaha

My comment to Eagle was not abt "fan", "anti-fan" and the likes! It's abt the analogy of toxic love of HJ and BI to their respective targets. It's not related to the Queen's habit at all although it seems funny that u relate it to what Queen said. But it's not abt that.

There was a similar kind of poison that was used in Moon Embracing the Sun drama (starring Han Gain and Km Soohyun) to make the female lead to sleep like a dead person but awake later.

If I'm allowed to assume, I think our biggest villain in the end would be Byung In, esp for the upcoming episode it seems the King's men were talking abt the hidden danger of Byung In's existence as he's secretly strengthening his own troops.

Your opinion reminds me of fans of some celebrities/artists, btw. Sometimes there are fans who stalk the celebs/artists and even those who want to control the artists/celebs' opinions so much that other people asked them "Why did you do that?" and they said "I did that bcs I love him/her/them!" while the situation of "love" itself is probably more to "fake love" as the fans, like HJ and BI, basically project their emotionial needs to the artists/celebs theyre a fan of.

To put it simply, the "Fake love" of HJ and BI to their own respective "love" target is really similar to the current reality.

Very agree
