Agree Disney+|Hulu is the worst. They take forever to release kdramas to the US. So we can’t enjoy them real-time with the rest of planet when the dramas are initially released. Also, subs are often out of sync with the scene. They really need to step it up to get on Netflix’s level. Even Prime is a bit better than they are.

The trailer looks great. Reallllly looking forward to this one!!

Oh, and yes, the little nephew, the Grand Prince is adorbs. Such a serious-minded little cutie.

Yep, CLD wants him baaadd. Laughable. She’s a joke. But, she’s going to stir the pot big time, for sure. She’s just shrewdly waiting for her moment, like you said.

I will give it a try. I like the leads, but I hope this isn’t going to be some kiddie shiz.

I think she’s slowly starting to realize they’ve misunderstood the king.

That was a masterful takedown. Really well-done.

I love seeing how this king stays in control of his court instead of the court controlling the king as we often see in these types historical dramas. This king is a master politician. He doesn’t miss a beat. He’s a strong king, but not a despot. He has a sincere love for the people, the subjects. He even seems to love his little nephew, the Grand Prince. He’s teaching the young grasshopper how to be a good king. I’m thoroughly impressed with this character.

Who else recognized the actor playing Captain Joo Sang Hwa (king’s right-hand man) from “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim “? Love seeing his range and him in a meatier role here.

Fine young actors indeed

A bonus episode would be nice.

ML character is such a POS. Master manipulator. He comes from a crap family too. Ughh.

Top-tier visuals in this drama. Really a pleasure.

Oh wow, that would have been a nice addition to the drama! Maybe the Director felt the actress looks too young to play a mom. Who knows what they were thinking?

I liked them too. They were so fire. His longing, nervous gazes. His always checking someone with his chastising words yet speechless before before her. Her beauty and confidence hiding her insecurities in front of him. They both liked each other so much, yet continually seemed at a loss in front of each other.

Did no one comment upon the cute “uniforms” of this sport yet? The billiards/snooker attire is so stylish. The vest, white puff-sleeve shirt, and sharp slim-fit trousers in black or gray—I love it, with hair in a sleek bun or high ponytail. (Very Caroline Bissette). I might start adopting a bit of it in my own personal style. And, the men look so sharp and handsome. What a classy sport. There was so much ceremony and decorum to the sport. It reminded me of The Hustler though. 🤣All I could think of was Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason while watching this. Very, very different settings for the sport of course.

How rude and tacky were those commentators? Trying to force Lin into confessing publicly. Wow.

I’m enjoying this, kinda. FL is weak, easily duped though. Also, the villains are always two steps ahead. Annoying.

Looking forward to this!
