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!

Thanks for the shout-out! 🥰

Thoroughly

Yu Ra has a serial-killer vibe. She seems like a true psychopath. She’s beyond being a bad seed. She’s downright scary. She’s got Su Min beat.

Min Hwan is so easily played. Too funny.🤣🤣🤣

ikr

I get that, actually. He’s not the traditional, pretty-boy, handsome standard (like, say, Cha Eun Woo). But, he is handsome nonetheless. He has a nerdy charm that’s hot and endearing. He looks like a young Dermot Mulroney to me.
