cee cee

At first I thought 16 episodes were too much for its whole trading theme (and that it might be too boring haha), but now I realized it does have some potentials. This drama is definitely a grower.

Is it perhaps the one titled Bloody Heart? I also have been looking for this particular tense music that often came up but I didn't find it on their instrumental album or maybe I misheard it

What actually happened to Queen Dowager in the end? Did she jump to the pond?

I'm now more convinced to watch The Crowned Clown.. Thank you for the interesting insight!

I agree. Once again she was spared because of her father.

I agree! They nailed so many aspects perfectly.

The director of this drama deserves to direct more sageuk dramas/movies in the future. She knows her dramatized and eye-pleasing shots very well. Saw the trailer of her past project 'How To Buy A Friend' and I wasn't surprised that it looked as beautiful.

My only problem with this drama is the intro/opening looks tacky and uninviting

When Kim Woon Beom suddenly disappears on the frame during their brief conversation at the cafe, does it mean that he was just Seo Chang Dae's hallucination? Does it also mean that KWB has died?

Question about the ending:

I regret only caught up with this drama when they already had 10 episodes... It's so good and interesting (the royal politics storyline at least)! I hope the last 2 episodes won't disappoint because it has been nearly perfect to me so far.

Lee Joon and Kang Hanna have great chemistry IMO although their storyline might not be lovey dovey enough for those who like that kind of romance... Meanwhile Jang Hyuk is a great actor himself especially with this kind of charismatic 'villain' role

Am I the only one who, after the first 4 episodes, thought Yoo Jung already knew who Lee Tae is (a crown prince/king) the whole time? I thought him saving her during the execution day implied that she already figured out who he is, and that him being 'a wanted/on the run man' was just a cover up for the people around her 😂

Omg thank you for answering! I've been wondering if this Korean remake is trying to look more appealing by adding the murder part 😂

Did the US version have murder mystery in the plot too?

Is this worth to watch until the end? I've been stuck on episode 7 for months

I really love the directing style of this drama! It makes everything more fun and enjoyable

The OST fits the drama atmosphere so much

Yess and to think that he's the only one without glasses then vs now and still looked different/aged 😂

I appreciate the styling team for how 'distinctive' Seung Hyun's father and Jo Han Sol looked in the current vs flashback scenes. It might be bare minimum but I've seen dramas with less effort when it comes to this kind of stuff.
