I agree! Mom's performative cruelty was sickening! She hung on long enough to see her son placed in a gilt cage.

I'm not a fan of the younger version of mom...little brother, with his controlling and manipulative petty self. That second couple relationship is a little icky to me and I can't quite put my finger on it. How long, after healing, will little brother keep using his sugar daddy? Or, will he pretend he can't walk to guilt everyone?

Le Feng is still a mess and I'm here for it...yes sir, be evil and petty! But dang, I know he's gonna get grapey again and I'm not looking forward to that.

I agree! Her performative cruelty was disgusting. Is it me or was she blaming her son for her physical health? We know it was all that evil inside her manifesting. As a mother, that made me both sad and nauseated.

:) I really like that character.

I'm not impressed with college classmate/rich wife. Yeah, she got a redemption arc, but nah!

Mom is a hateful, bitter rag!

Lu Feng is a mess but he consistently chooses Yi Chen over everything. Yi Chen seems to choose Lu Feng when it's convenient. :(

There's only one decent woman in this drama so far and that's Xiao Chen's co-worker.

Is new skunt the one that took the picture of our lead couple and circulated it at college?

I forgot about the timing of that move! Good point! Plus, she immediately demoted him too!

Can our leads say that the investigation needed profound secrecy/sensitivity and had to placed on a usb instead of the main server? It was a sensitive investigating involving a high level executive ?

I bet the goal was for him to take the sleep aid when he arrived at his hotel, so that Mundoodoo could place him in a compromising situation...maybe even a dead lover/tryst, since he likes to kill beings.

I'm thinking Mundo killed his own parents. He strikes me as a frustrated serial killer who likes to use others to do his killing. The actor is doing a great job convincing me that his character is completely demented.

That wedding ring was pretty prominent though.

This 1920's silent film background music makes me laugh at the wrong moments. However, I'm really enjoying this drama and the dramatic, but well dressed, villains! :)

I am amazed at how much shrieking the baby king has to endure. He surrounded by harpies!!!!!

At first, I thought is Lee Jong Suk pulling a "Bobby Brown?" That man was on set practically every day when his wife, Whitney Houston was filming The Bodyguard. He was trying to intimate Kevin Costner, the costar, and bully Whitney. Then, I could see BWS is extremely shy and trying to be polite and letting IU take the lead. IU is confused about taking the lead because of politeness. So....very awkward intimacy. I'm sure if our leads really get off into their scenes, toxic netizens will be very ugly. Such a conundrum!

NGL, that character reminds of a man who will r*pe and then gaslight the victim - "look what you made me do!" bs

That was my thought too. He doesn't want to answer to the elite, but he'll be answering to elites in his new "powerful" role. The PM character seems to always be struggling with acceptance...on his terms.

I feel like the goal of the PM is to create chaos and criminality so that the royalty will be abolished and he can transition to the ultimate power of President. Cudos to Steve Noh because he's so believable as a villain. The PM character has always been petty and divisive but appearing to be for the royalty, when secretly he hates that caste system. I believe that the mechanics of abolishing the monarchy is what he was confessing to the priest about.

He's striking and his RBF is intense!!!!!

Let's also have a moment of silence for those boots!!!!!

The only thing missing with that "Temu Barbie" character was chewing and cracking gum.
