i personally prefer yeo jin goo in non-romcom dramas. love the chemistry of our two leads here!

this was the most stressful drama i've ever had to watch! it literally took me several weekends to finish it because the suspense was too much for me but also too good to be dropped :)) i have to say though, while the thriller bits did have me on the edge of my seat, the heaviest episode for me was the finale. like, damn. overall, this show is a masterpiece and def worth the stress!

i definitely have qualms about so yong and bong hwan's ending but not to the extent that it makes me hate the finale altogether. this is still, by far, my favourite historical drama. well, it's the only one i've watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) from beginning to end anyway because i dropped all other historical dramas from too much stress. lol. the actors were amaaaaaaazing—especially our queen and king. i am literally grieving that this is over. so far, my best watch in 2021. idk how i'll move on now :(

i'm only about 20 minutes into the finale (*saaaad*) but i just had to come on here and say how much i love Yook Ji Woo's character. she is, by far, my favourite chaebol drama mum. she is such a strong woman, far from being what most people would say is a "good mother," but admirable in her own way. god, i am going to miss this drama and its characters.

looked up the first movie after reading just that part of your article and i'm already laughing. can't wait to go through this list! thank you <3

had to take a break just a few minutes into episode 12 bec that confrontation in the forest was sooooo frustrating. it’s funny how everyone keeps misunderstanding the queen but also really infuriating when it gets so twisted. honestly if it weren’t for the comedic bits, i don’t think i would have enjoyed this show and lasted this long :)) my stress levels just can’t handle the politics in historical dramas. lol.

i have to say the writers are really good at messing with your emotions (and blood pressure). lol. i put off watching episode 11 because my head throbs every time i see jo always-the-victim-hwa jin—and then we get the scenes with the queen and her consorts :))

i literally LOLed when u said the blunder was the kid :))

came here to say that ep 13 was so good not knowing they switched out the writer (?). i always thought they would defeat the demon in someone else's body not chung sin bec he's always just been an instrument of those in power (i thought he would go on to possess the mayor's son), but i didn't think chung sin would end his human life himself. i liked that twist. i personally didn't notice any significant change in writing/production in the recent episode. i just hope we don't get screwed over later when we're thisclose to the end.

i am traumatised lol

It's definitely not for everyone, but I personally loved A Piece of Your Mind. I only wished they let it play out as planned instead of cutting it short :( The OST is super good and I play it on repeat to this day. I also enjoyed watching Girls Generation! Thinking of rewatching it, actually.

the mayor is really scary. and the fact that someone like him is probably actually president somewhere irl.

wait—so basically, the root of Hwa Jin’s ill feelings towards the queen is that they were always compared as kids? *_____*

oh man i didn't realise she was holding on to the ledger at the end and not the queen's book that she also has! i swear, if it weren't for this forum, i would've missed out on so many important details!

not exactly! in fact, i wouldn't call him a villain though others might disagree. he's just really protective of the queen so his actions make him seem like a meddlesome, bitter second male soap lead to some but personally i don't see him that way. at least for now.

I hope it plays out that way til the end!

I guess the format isn't for everyone, but I am enjoying it so far. I do agree with one of the earlier comments though—if they add any unnecessary love triangle among the leads, I'm out. Lol.

Couldn't agree more! I'm officially a fan <3

Fu Pei gets a second chance. Lol.

Re-watching because I missed Situ Mo and Gu Weiyi, and I still love this show as much as I did the first time I saw it.
