There's no romance so far. He refers to her as his best friend but she openly likes him. Has this actor ever done a romance genre? I don't think so...

Oh my bad. I thought it was his sister. Either way the reactions were a bit much.

The soldiers' expressions to his sister was a bit much. I mean she just seems like a simple, homely young lady. Geez.

They don't explain who Lim was but they obv didn't like him. I'm assuming he died or something happened to him and as soon as he was gone, she lost her backing and they punished her by sending her to that base. Yeah that guy waiting for her obviously doesn't like her. I'm not liking how she's not being shown any respect at all. I like how truthful she is.

I went back and read your question carefully edited my comment!🤪

Omg, the ML is pulling this off perfectly! His expressions and denials are so funny!

That's not answered in today's episode and I don't think that will be answered in tmrw's either.

I know it's just a drama but I don't like the idea of the monarchy being abolished. Why not just separate themselves from the state/cabinet like other real modern day monarchies? I find it disappointing that a drama/webnovel would abolish a "modern-day" Korean Monarchy in the end. It's ironic that Japan had a hand in abolishing the Joseon monarchy and yet Japan still has their own real monarchy until this day so I'm surprised that the story is taking this route. Yes, it's a drama but modern day monarchy actually benefits and brings so much money to their country. Abolishing it makes no sense.

I posted this as a reply to another comment but I wanted to post this as my own opinion. I'm enjoying it so far amd it took awhile to adjust. I think there is an underlying msg to this drama. I never read the manhwa but they say several times that he's suffers from depression and gaming addiction. So it's like his brain is rewiring itself to cope and the tasks are showing up like a game and leveling up. I thought the food reactions were hilariious because the food was so bad that it was like worst than military drills or akin to being in a war. The gaming aspect might be hard for some to understand. Like any VR, or gaming manhwas or webtoons, this is light compared to Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint or Solo Leveling. This is nothing like Bon Appetit or Mr. Queen where both characters have time traveled or in Mr. Queen, soul possession. But if you look at this from a sci-fi fantasy genre, and from the basis of his depression and gaming addiction, and death of his father, it makes sense. It's giving him a sense of purpose and a way to cope and a way to find healing through cooking.

I'm not a big fan of the ML but then I saw the kissing scene and I was like, "Where ddi that come from?!" The kissing scene was fire and then that's all we got...

The secretary character set up so cliché. I mean she's so obviously younger and seems almost pathetic. I'm not a fan of her character at all. He helps her out, shows her respect and draws boundaries and she keep throwing her panties at him.

Exactly right?!.No ring cameras!! Hahaha! Seriously, like just leave it all burnt down if you can get the rebuild right the first time around. Like the Majesty died. And in the preview, Hui Ju goes rushing in to save him. I'm rolling my eyes so far back. But yeah whateva.

Like how many times has there been a fire?

Did they explain how she got a hold of the contract? Did I miss something? And do you think I-An end up becoming the Majesty instead?

I thought she was a good match with the nephew Xuan Qing and it's kind of weird knowing she's going to be with his Uncle.🤪

I really like the actor Winwin who plays Ye Xian. He's playing a similar role like he did in Perfect Match but this role suits him! He's playing exactly like a son whose father bullies him. He likes the FL but doesn't know how to show affection yet properly and actually likes that she stands up to him and others.

Heeyyyyyyy!! I'm currently watching Blood River and I'm loving it!! Thanks for recommending it!

We can all have different opinions for the same drama. We can enjoy and dislike it at the same time. There aren't many new dramas out atm so here we are. I can definitely say though that this isn't the same vibe as the old kdramas. Old kdramas were more character building and romance building so there was a lot more angst. That wasn't always good pacing either so that's why they shortened dramas. Ppl thought there was just too much unnecessary fillers or slow pacing with old kdramas. One a side note, there are a lot of intense BWS and IU fans who don't want any criticism but I think that's the whole point of the comment section. To read and respect others' opinions. Sometimes ppl's different viewpoints can change your perspective or you can relate. I really like BWS and IU as actors and I'm not criticizing them at all but something with the writing or directing of this drama as a whole is lacking for me. There's just something missing. That's just my viewpoint.

I kind of feel the same way. It's not as impactful as I was expecting. There's definitely something missing or lacking. Maybe it's the cutesy factor especially with the FL and with the young majesty? Or maybe I just expected expected the main leads' characters to be more rebellious? Hui Ju's character is more cute than ambitious. Maybe I expected a more ruthlessness or a more hard-core ambitious vibe from her?
