People here are forgetting its literally been five days for these contestants and the show is all about competing for attention. Its not wrong to explore multiple people (provided you do so while being conscious of your image)

I think people get to wrapped up in their ships ad forget this show is not a proper dating show lol

She will unfollow alot of them soon enough, especially BK.

I agree alot with this comment. People forget HJ was more interested in getting back with SY in the beginning but he ruined it by showing he was still harsh with his words.My theory is that HJ looked like she really loved BH still in the show because of the intense situation plus her comparing how cold `SY was to her and her youner intense relationship. She got caught up in the moment but logically she knew there was no way they would work. BH wanted her to pine for him and fight for him and he pushed that towards the end (which I seriously didn't like) only to say " lets meet again in the next life"

She unfollowed SY but no doubt she will eventually unfollow BH, MK and YY in time.

Hating on Hyun Ji for no reason. It’s not her fault all the guys in the house like her. She had only tried with two people, BK and Yoo Sik. She didn’t corner him either, he walked her to her room.

They also both like each other

Exactly. It’s pretty obvious he picks and uses his words very seriously. He can’t promise something he isn’t sure he can deliver. Rather than MK, he needs to know if he is someone that can enter a marriage.

Even more so in a show that’s being watched by millions now. Realistically MK has been quite uncaring about his image while he has never said negative things about her or is relationship with her , not directly nor to other in the show.

It’s very naive for people to think only she had issues in the relationship and that he had no complaints. He just chooses to keep quiet .

I don’t think he is the best communicator however MK has a really intense way of communicating too.

It’s impossible to know how their relationship fully was but I feel like he wanted to get back with her in the beginning but he wasn’t fully sure. Then he lost most of his intention of getting back together so he avoids saying kind words like that. Saying those words will just lead her on.

He did say he saw a future with her but wasn’t sure exactly what it was yet. They simply just have different priorities and Minkyung is still in Uni while he is already in the workforce so their time availability is different too.

The future she wants however is something he isn’t sure he can provide yet. Yes they dated for a long time but context matter and they are both only in their mid twenties. Wonkyu is 34 and is only now serious about marriage.

Regarding the marriage issue, it’s obvious that Yoo Sik is concerned about his future, which is why he didn’t want to be reckless or make promises to Minkyung that he might not be able to keep. Think about it for a second, he’s only 25 and a dancer. He may not have even completed his two years of military service yet, and getting married often means taking the next step toward having children. That requires both time and money, especially in Korea, where the pressure is even greater. Yoo Sik seems like someone who doesn’t say things half-heartedly; he knows that if he made a promise, Minkyung would rightfully hold him to it. That’s why he never simply went along with her wishes or stayed silent.

I understand MK hurt, I do. I just don’t understand using the topic of marriage as a way to convey that hurt because it just doesn’t make sense in a show that lasts 3 weeks.
Majority of the blame falls Seungyong for bringing that up as a way to sabotage.

The preview for next episode is stressing me out because while I understand MK, I don’t get why the other male cast members feel it’s their place to “interrogate” Yoo Sik just because he is the youngest (and not all of them have good intentions either)

the thing is Yoo Sik and Hyeon Ji have never actually discussed something as serious as marriage so of course he wont know that. Its unfair for viewers to state that he is being cruel to MK by "wanting to marry someone after one week" or "chasing someone who has marriage in mind" when he didn't even that information, after all Hyeon Ji and him wouldn't discuss something so serious when they are just getting to know each other.

It isnt needless to say though? Neither Hyeon Ji nor Yoo Sik have even mentioned what will hapen after the show, least of all marriage. Yoo Sik doesnt even know Hyeon Ji wants to get married early so how can he pursue her with plans to marry her after just a week. People keep putting words into their mouths.

I really hope there will be a season 2. This show has the potential to become like The Strange Tale of Tang, with multiple seasons, especially since we haven’t even seen much of Tiemo yet, and they could introduce other rival nations as well.

Huai An definitely takes the win as the most strategic character I’ve watched in any C-drama.

I’m glad you enjoyed reading 😊

I mention factions because Cen, toward the end, refers to orders he received and a mission, which seems to have come from someone higher than him.

They may choose their kings based on power, but there are bound to be some who disagree and want power for themselves, especially in systems that don’t rely on elections or bloodline succession.

I also really loved the special; I just wish it had been longer and that we had seen Huai An’s face instead of only hearing his voice.

okay, thanks

I cant find it on Youku?

In my opinion, they are definitely leaving room for a season 2. Him surviving the explosion isn’t unrealistic, because he essentially started a chemical fire. There are many solvents and techniques that can protect someone from burning when handling flammable materials. Fire performers do this all the time.

Secondly, the initial stabbing by Cen was clearly planned, which suggests he may have been wearing some form of protection underneath his clothes. However, when the Tiemo King twisted the knife, it did cause real damage, just not as much as the Tiemo King believed. He genuinely thought Xie Huai An had sacrificed his life, which is why he was so shocked to see him alive later.

Why it makes sense that he willingly went to prison:

He owes Cen a favour. Cen did not betray the Tiemo King for no reason, nor for love of Chang An. He did it because he belongs to another Tiemo faction that opposed the Tiemo King, who himself was not part of any noble or royal lineage but rose to power through killing.

Tiemo remains a serious threat unless a peaceful ruler takes control. Until then, they still have 200,000 soldiers and a deep thirst for blood. The agreement signed by the emissary only bought time and did not solve the problem.

Huai An has finally found his purpose, which is to protect Chang An and reduce unnecessary death. Throughout the show, people kept asking him what his purpose was and where he would go once everything was over, and he could never answer. He first began to find that answer when he let Yang Fenshang go, and fully understood it in the granary.

Realistically, he cannot remain in court. Huai An is too intelligent and too wise. No matter how much the emperor and Xiao Wen Jing trust him, the court officials would always feel threatened. Trust can erode over time, even without ill intent. This is why Zhang Mo’s father almost pleaded with the emperor in the valley, and why Xiao Wuyang said he would protect him. Historically, emperors rarely want someone so wise and influential too close to the throne, especially someone trusted by armies, capable of destabilising a powerful nation like Tiemo, and defeating generals far older and more experienced than himself. Eventually, someone in court would try to force the emperor’s hand.

Xie Huai An had two choices. He could disappear and live peacefully somewhere far from the capital, or use his intelligence to continue protecting Chang An by destabilising Tiemo and helping a less war-hungry faction rise to power.

He chose the second option.

For those who say the special episode has inconsistencies or doesn't make sense:

He is alive in the special episode continuation only available on Youku. It seems there might be a season 2

Yeah, just purchase it

Can someone tell me where I can find the special episode to watch except for Youku?
