This has been for ages in my on hold list, simply bc i didn't found the right mood to watch further. Since you know i am old and as such school dramas rather a hard/boring watch for me personally, lmao. But i miss Junghyun and want to watch something something lighter, so that is the best reason to pick it back up and finish it before the year is over, so it can reside in my complete list at last. Hehe.
Also the way Heon didn't hesitate a second to take off his royal robe and cover Sorang with it, I AM WEAK. So meaningful. He could not have said it louder with words how she belongs to him and no one should dare to mess with the woman he loves because she is under the king's protection.
It was more about staying with him in general, because he loves and needs her in his life to be happy than "stay…
Yeees, i love "stay with me" usage in dialogue in situations like that because it almost never means just one thing. And here it indeed has so much more subtext than just the meaning of these words <3 Also.... pls excuse me nerding out but since i learn korean for a while i notice these things now....
The way he called her name, without honorifics and with "-a" at the end (Sorang-a), which in korea culturally is something you only do with close friends/family... or lovers. SW does that because she asked him to drop the honorifics and be friends, but the *king* doing this on his own, using informal speech and calling her by her name, not title... wow, hits just different. Very intimate and done on purpose. (Bc he sees *her* now, not the CP's shadow and the way he calls her name conveys it. 😭)
My anger level while watching this drama📈📈📈📈📈📈I literally wanted to go to that place and slap…
Character development in this drama be like : I AM AN HALLUCINATION 👁️👄👁️
I could not agree more to everything you have said if i tried, tbh. You touched on all that annoys me about this drama and it is such a pity bc I can SEE the potential in the story but sadly it was given to ppl loving to waste time on pointless scenes and bad pacing instead of in depth characterization/character development. Sigh. Just sigh.
Anyone else sad after Heon asked So rang to stay with him and then it just CUT. Smh
It was more about staying with him in general, because he loves and needs her in his life to be happy than "stay the night." That... will come at a later point, heh.
I really loved how little words the leads needed to convey their feelings tho. So good.
GODDDDD HE ANNOYED ME SO MUCH THIS EPISODE THAT I FEEL THE NEED TO SCREAM IN CAPSLOCK lmao. He got rejected like...…
Yeeeeeah, alas. This is why i continue to fail to even develop a shred of second lead syndrome tbh, bc they are way too often entitled assholes who don't respect a no and rejection given. It is different in love triangles when FL is more... swayed by SML, but with lines/her affection as clear defined as these in this drama (and many others) ... I get so frustrated by second leads who disrespect all boundaries and the lead's agency in the matter for the sake of forcing their own feelings on them.
It makes me so damn uncomfortable, no matter if it is SML o SFL doing this shit. It is never not creepy and annoying.
so the queen will be with captain or something ? i hope she wont get between sorang and the king relationship…
another character will be with Shin Won yeah, but it is not sorang. She has not made her entrance into the drama yet (or maybe i missed her in these queen selection scenes?) but yeah he gets a separate loveline and seeing today's episode IT IS ABOUT GODDAMN TIME IT HAPPENS, because Sorang has rejected him like four times now in two episodes and yet he keeps begging her to stay with him. Uuuuuugh. Either way, Sorang will be with Heon, yeah.
Second male lead gonna second male lead and they are going to suck and be annoying as F like what gives Shin Won…
GODDDDD HE ANNOYED ME SO MUCH THIS EPISODE THAT I FEEL THE NEED TO SCREAM IN CAPSLOCK lmao. He got rejected like... three times in one scene alone and yet he persisted and kept her physically from leaving to beg further. Dude, stop it. Get some help. It is only pathetic at this point.
Today's episode definitely did the trick. He is so down now for her 😏
It is a quite serious one, but with a lot of progression in terms of the leads, the plot with the bad guys revealing themselves to Heon and co, making moves toward Sorang and heon royally kicking ass (pun intended) to protect his wifey :D Big Mr. Queen's Cheoljong vibes from him this episode, hell yeah. (tho kim junghyun has a presence on another level than KYD, admittedly)
only one question will the lies in it give me stress...want to watch but ... my stress level rises when i see…
Nah, not so far. I guess it will be part of next time's episodes or in the end as conflict, but ultimately the leads will pull through, together. So you can watch without fear, heh.
Started as a quirky comedy, now it is a full blown serious palace drama, kinda a 180 turn?..
Not really? Because this is what people call "plot" and "conflict in a story." and belongs to a complete narrative just as much as the comedic elements, tbh. And they have been building this element of scheming up since the first episode as well.
The scene is heartbreaking, KYD's portrays his despair so well, but i also love how it illustrates what power…
Aww thanks, haha. I write them as i watch so they are slowly updated and probably only complete an hour or two after i made the post as i add to them. But it is so fun to scream about the drama bc it is my favorite thing/drama airing atm. Glad someone likes my yelling of incoherent thoughts, bc i have always A LOT about each episode, as you can see haha.

Shiwon also gets his HEA with another woman (former queen candidate) and has a kid with her.
