Now that we have an official couple, I hope they focus the second half on all the issues at hand. Jukyung accepting the beauty of her true face, Suho and Seojun reconciling and how they each are facing Seyeon's death and overcoming it, Soojin's father problem, Jukyung's family finding out she was bullied, etc . I know everyone is thinking we are still in the middle and so what could possibly happen in 8 eps? I don't want the writer going with the typical Kdrama of breaking the couple apart with an unnecessary DRAMA and then reuniting them perhaps at the very last episode. There are still so many things to cover and wrap up with all those issues. I don't want this to be just a mere love-triangle-centered drama (possibly even a love square now).
We don't know the full story yet, but as many already said, his feelings for the concubine were more some kind…
"But I don't see love in his eyes when he's with her. " That's it... I wonder why I feel there's something I'm missing while I'm watching the scenes between the King and Hwa Jin. Even when he was hugging her, I don't feel the love coming from him. Which is different when she was talking about or looking at the Queen. Perhaps this is one of those he doesn't fully realize his feelings for the Queen yet. He always gives himself excuses not to hurt the Queen because deep inside, he might care/love her more than he actually thought,
Aigoo... I can't believe I binge-watched and now I'm caught up... another suffering of waiting XD. I love the slow development between the King and the Queen esp. now that BH is slowly having the Queen's memories and feelings as well. If the writer is going for a romance between the King and the Queen, I wonder how they will do it if the soul is still Bong Hwan. Can't wait for it ~
The kiss at the end of Ep. 8 tho ^^....
