well this was a very short finale - must have something to do with the fact that i fast-forwarded most of it. can u blame me with the crap that was shown?!? like if everything was a lie made-up by Cir, why the f*ck that scar on his forehead disappear when the Cir from a different time-line, was in this timeline?!? so miss me with the whole pity party Phu threw himself. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************& the whole "family" plotline & how it was dealt with, was a WTF moment. the mother deserved to get some sense slapped into her (but given this an Asian drama, that will never happen no matter how psychotic she was behaving). **************************also over a decade for the 3 guys to plan & the best they came up with, is to swap between the brothers? or the father to get back with his wife? oh whatever... ridiculous. ****************************************************************************************it was like the writer had a start of a great idea & the more this progressed, they lost it & just winged sh*t - so little wonder this is how it turned out. this could've been so much better - it wasn't. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Boss is a good actor, but his character was whack. Noeul isn't, he relies more on his cuteness (which IMO he is lacking, or it gets old fast). was happy to see Mick, who i enjoyed in Every You, Every Me, so i know he can act & should've gotten more screen time. i had zero interest in the 2nd couple as individual's or together. wish there was more of Rome or Noeul, or maybe not - given what the writer did with the character's that got more screen time... this was interesting until ep 6-7 then it slowly started to get stupid. oh well a one off

no way Da On had a crush on Su Hyeon, not Jae Min, color me shocked... if this was the case, maybe Jae Min the psycho noticed & that is why he made the bet. poor Su Hyeon, he was manipulated into giving up something that was within his reach. now i get why Jae Min kept manipulating & gaslighting Da On, keeping him on a leash by financing his degenerate of a father. using the people around him to destroy his self-esteem. all so he would be his one & only safe-haven. he got what he wanted, when Da On finally confessed. but Su Hyeon showed up, returning & making sure that Jae Min had to keep his part of the bet. that's why he was so angered cause of the timing...***********************************************************************************************************************************************Da On should count his lucky stars, cause Jae Min is sick in the head, he is beyond toxic. he really should give thanks that Jae Min had to reject him & that Seong Hyeon showed up in his life. now he is a healthy love interest. dude isn't just adorable, loving & giving, he does wonders for Da On's self-esteem & the most important trait, he isn't messing around with his head. also he isn't aggressive - ********************************************************************************************************************************************Su Hyeon, OMG this dude needs to chill. why he thinks anyone enjoys being tossed around like a freakin crash-test-dummy?!? he is acting like a crazy man & Always manhandling Da On, why does he think that is ok?!? the way he is going he could easily turn abusive, so one is physically abusive & the other mentally - little wonder Da On hasn't suffered from a break down with these 2 morons.

it's so weird - the brutality in this is very disturbing. so much so i gotta look away every time Yeong Su start's to "work" & yet there is a part of me that gets, that the evil character's here deserve what they r getting. still not an easy watch by any means.********************************************************************************************************************************************also there is so much going on, that i really feel like this time this drama needed to be more then 6 ep's. feel like there plot lines that need to be fleshed out, still things r a bit unclear too me. or i just want more info to "get" if what i assume, is correct or not. ********************************************************************************************************************************************also sorry but i don't get WHY Min Jeong is stuck to Ji Hun, or why they let her tag along everywhere. when she was kidnapped with Ji Hun - fine she couldn't avoid that. but they on the run & should be avoiding connections with people that not in their family not only to keep themselves safe but so as not to create innocent bystanders ＼（〇_ｏ）／********************************************************************************************************************************************also if the Pastor is the evil master mind & he was also brought up in the same "camp" the Baek's were, then he working for "mother" or he also a runaway that is just targeting the Baek's for the fun of it?!?

the bad guys here r beyond despicable, the things they get up too makes my blood boil. guess this city needed the Baek family.**********************************************************************************************************************************************but have to say, the grandfather is a liability, he keeps making moronic moves, but acts like he's the only smart one in that family (starting to really get mad when he belittles Cheol Hui). i get why Yeong Su & Cheol Hui took him, when they ran away as teens (pre-teens?) they were kids that grew-up in an isolated environment. they didn't know how to survive in the real world, so they needed someone mature to rely on. but they genuinely should've left him behind. *****************************************he kept referring to An So Jin as their mother - was she a mother to all those children that were nothing more them test subject, that were turned & used as weapons? the fact they were fed & had somewhere to sleep, doesn't a family make. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Ji Hun & Min Jeong getting kidnapped & hurt is on that old morons head. he & his "games" brought the mobsters & the cops to their door. the way he acts i am surprised they been on the run for decades, without getting caught ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、)

what did the grandfather think would happen? what he want to happen?!? given their past & them being on the run releasing someone that could run to the cops - wouldn't that endanger them?!? don't get his logic or motives...************************************************************************************************************************************************also his removing the ties, that bound the victims hands was a moronic move (plus tampering with evidence), heck taking the car & leaving the note were stupid. get wiping down the car, even moving it to another destination. but the rest just muddied the waters & their actions just made the cops job that much harder, as they now wont know she connected to the serial killer (ノへ￣、)************************************************************************************************************************************************but on a whole enjoying this dark comedy. & about that poor dog idk if the pastor is the abuser or that gross realtor O Gil Ja. either way i hope they suffer !

beautiful ending, especially in that sunflower field. but another emotionally charged ep（＞人＜；） & maybe bad of me to admit. but i can't really empathize with Hye Suk. yeah feel bad for anyone in her situation (especially with the memory problems). but on a whole, she was at fault for the emotional detachment between her & her son. also she keeps defecting & is always in attack mode. she not ready for a sec to take on the blame. even if she suspects she is being blamed, she is ready to fight. talk about guilt conscious, maybe regarding Gyeong Jong u can argue that he is part of the problem. but when she told her son "...i thought u hated me.." u didn't come to this conclusion from nowhere, u assumed this cause of what happened. instead of being there & fixing the issue, that was caused by ur own selfishness & anger, u choose to abandon ur child to yrs on end (for the neighbor to raise). & u think just saying "...i thought i hated me..." hinting that u gave him space ＼（〇_ｏ）／ make's it ok?!? nah*******************************************************************************************************************************************about the end am really glad Seok Ryu was the one to go after Seung Hyo. about damn time if u ask me.*******************************************************************************************************************************************the side love story; i like Mo Eum & Dan Ho well enough but Mo Eum keeps acting like shes Yeon Du's age (heck Yeon Du acts older). & it isn't cute considering Dan Ho doesn't need a immature romance , but someone mature that can be there for his kid.

the big to-do with Ji Woon's mother. she freakin fainted. when compared to her, the innocent servant's have been massacred, no one taking a backward glace, let alone shedding a tear. cause they dead? or cause they have no status, so no worthy of pity? ugh (* ￣︿￣)*****************************************************************************************************************************************am glad So Eun did the right thing - even though from what i recall the annulment of a marriage sullies the honor of the female & her family (maybe am wrong & it's just the female). either way both she & Ha Kyung didn't deserve to be used the way there were & both took the high road. Ha Kyung in more or less the same situation as a married woman. but CP not even talking about divorce (which mean a life of solitude & shame) she is talking about Ha Kyung starting a new life. which idk if it's possible & even if it was, she still married on paper ＼（〇_ｏ）／ so how that work???***************************************************************************************************************************************like others, agree that CP should've expedited the execution of her grandfather the sec she announced it to the officials' in court. same as Jung Seok Jo should've cut his throat the 1st chance he got. but i guess that's the end, as he the main bad-guy (ノω<。)ノ not to mention we got one more ep to go (⊙_⊙;)***************************************************************************************************************************************side note: am beyond happy i was wrong & Prince Jehyeon is alive & well. but i don't agree that Lee Hwi/Dam Yi should abdicate to him - NOT YET. yeah it is his position to hold, but he's to young(!), to innocent & too kindhearted & i can't see him standing up to all the official's in that court - they will eat him alive. but i guess Dam Yi is counting on Grand Queen Dowager, Minister Shin, Hyun & Kim Ga On to stay & support him - which could work, i guess... all i want is for this poor boy to survive

what a tangled web we weave (⊙_⊙;) 1st off the reason Jung Seok Jo didn't admit to killing Prince Chang Woon, cause then he would have nothing to hold over his son (guess he could still threaten to murder the CP). but it would complicate things with Han Ki Jae if the soldiers that accompanied him saw the body - cause then he would have to report everything to Han Ki Jae. which just means complications - as is he's in hot water & he knows it.******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: know Prince Chang Woon was a really disgusting character, but idk there was something fun about him - he for sure was entertaining when he was getting his ass handed to him.*****************************************************************************************************************************************about the women, both Noh Ha Kyung & Shin So Eun have fallen for guys that will never love them back. feel sad for both cause they pure in their love & r going out of their way to not only show it, but help - they keep giving of themselves only to get smacked in the face with reality. & the fact that both gals r in-love DOESN'T make them the bad-guy!!! don't read any comment's bad-mouthing Hyun, why? cause he just self-sacrificing without expecting anything in return? the martyr routine will get him dead or he will end up all alone - this a better "end" for a good person??? really??? not that either girl is asking anything unreasonable in return.*****************************************************************************************************************************************but seeing Dam Yi burn her keepsakes from childhood, have a bad feeling she not gonna survive this & knows it. that's why she got the people that were closest to her, far away. hope this drama's end aint depressing.also the reason Ji Woon found out now who Lee Hwi really is, is cause he stopped her in the forest when she was gonna tell all. but glad the Court Lady got it out of the way (even though idk how this gonna help as Ji Woon can't seem to really protect anyone so far).

Jung Seok Jo is anything but stupid, he knows his (& his families) survival depends on keeping Lee Hwi's secret. exposing's the truth will not only harm Dam Yi, but he & his whole family will be destroyed. he knows Han Ki Jae well enough, to know his wrath would be irreducible in proportions. so he rather deal with (get rid off) Prince Chang Woon, the only one who can talk (as he figured out why Lee Hwi was ambushed) & then Han Ki Jae could be informed, after the fact (where the truth could be "massaged" into something less volatile). ********************************************************************************************same with his threat, forcing Ji Woon into marriage. he knows his son well, his son sadly doesn't know his father & isn't smart enough to understand the situation. if he did, he would know there is NO upside to Jung Seok Jo killing Lee Hwi. even if he wouldn't be held accountable by the 'laws of the land', Han Ki Jae would never let him go - his anger would be all consuming & he wouldn't just kill Jung Seok Jo, he would demolish his family. everything Jung Seok Jo is doing, is to keep his beloved son safe. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************Dam Yi is starting to annoy me, i get everything she has been through & why now she is being selfish, but her "...rumor's don't faze me anymore..." is a caules approach to the whole "monarch & his subordinate gossip" cause SHE IS MARRIED!! she might now have had a say in who she married, let alone the marriage it's self. but neither did Noh Ha Kyung (the fact she has a crush on Lee Hwi is neither here nor there). she is an innocent that has been loving, open, understanding & VERY considerate to a VERY inconsiderate douche of a "husband". the least Dam Yi can do, is consider the feelings of the person that is married to her. that's the minimum - that isn't asking too much. so yeah i am really starting to dislike her. & kinda enjoyed her heartache at the end. ********************************************************************************************************************************also people criticizing Noh Ha Kyung for choosing to stay in-spite of knowing her "husband" doesn't love her, but a man. even demanding a child & that "he" do his duty. really?!? it's like they think we not talking Joseon but the current day & age. the fact that women were worth sh*t, news to whom? if the Queen's deposed (even if by choice) se has to spend the rest of her life like a walking dead. she can't remarry, be a part of society & she in the wrong for trying to survive? plz

unlike most in the comment section, i aint moved by Yoon Hyung Chul's death. sorry but the dude has been incompetent from the start - if anything it's kinda astounding he survived until now. i get why the characters would shed a tear, but as a viewer, little to no impact. ********************************************************************************************************************same with Jung Seok Jo's sudden 180 - utter b.s. given what we have seen of him until now. dude happily would've slit the throat of baby Dam Yi (if the Queen hadn't been a fast thinker). he for sure didn't bat an eyelid when killing Lee Hwi, let alone poor I Wol, but suddenly his conscience got revived, cause Yoon his bff?? when his own son (the one he loves above all) couldn't stop him from killing a child, that wasn't even a witness - plz i aint buying this!*******************************************************************************************************************************************loving the funny, lighthearted scenes - they add some much needed levity to a pretty somber plot. love that the Court Lady & Eunuch Hong Bok Dong act more like Dam Yi's parents, then her subordinates. also love how the Eunuch went to watch over Ji Woon, making sure he knew he was being watched & disapproved off, really wholesome.*******************************************************************************************************************************************Prince Won San turning out to be a bigger bad-guy then moronic Prince Chang Woon, who has come back from the dead - is a bit disappointing. there were moments where the whole 2 twisted umbilical cords & Hyun mentioning that Lee Hwi seemed different, was a bit far fetched to assume from all this - that Lee Hwi is a woman. there could be so many reasons why the matter was covered up & the birthing assistant where "silenced" - but ok＼（〇_ｏ）／ guess there not enough drama (ノω<。)ノ

when Jung Seok Jo saw Lee Hwi in female attire (a few eps back) & recalled the incident where he murdered Dam Yi. am sure he knew in that moment he made a mistake, but considering the gravity of the mistake he convinced himself that just seeing Lee Hwi in female attire, reminded him of his female twin. *************************************************************************am sure of this assumption, cause after that he kept his eye glued on Lee Hwi, looking for signs. which he found in abundance. & yet am 100% sure he will never reveal this truth to Han Ki Jae, cause he knows just what type of person he is. just to be sure he questioned Han Ki Jae's order (which as an attack dog he never does) when he told him to kill the Minister (that got caught hording rice). maybe this will make him flip, cause as he made it clear to Yoon Hyung Chul, he came from nothing & would do anything to persevere the life he (his family) r living. **********************************************************************************************************************************************am also glad that Lee Hwi / Dam Yi got Shin Yeong Su back, she needs people that will help her take down her grandfather. so glad even Kim Ga On has come on board. just the sec we saw Shin Yeong Su, was worried we will get unnecessary angst with Shin So Eun . it's not that i dislike her, but she's added drama & there so much going on - more, just seems like over kill.********************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning drama, can't help but mention Noh Ha Kyung, such a pure hearted child - kinda breaking my heart how Dam Yi is treating her. i know why she is keeping her at a distance, but she is hurting & might end up crushing her spirit - which makes Dam Yi a bad-guy. then seeing her happy moments with Ji Woon makes it more unjust what she is doing to her wife!

just a thought, Jung Ji Woon telling his father "...he would do any job, he just needs to be in the palace." what if Han Ki Jae made him an Eunuch?!? would he happily go along with that vocation? for free access to the King (⊙_⊙;) ******************************but all kidding aside, felt really bad for Noh Ha Kyung, not only cause of her one sided (doomed) crush on Lee Hwi. but cause of her innocence & lightheartedness which is gonna get crushed, the more she remains in that palace. get why Lee Hwi / Dam Yi felt the need to crush her heart, but she really should've found a better way to deal with an innocent. her justification that Noh Ha Kyung loved her sincerely was b.s. - it's cause she couldn't be bothered, cause she got too much on her plate.*****************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry but her only ally is Yoon Hyung Chul?!? really＼（〇_ｏ）／ the dude only succeeded once & that was in hiding baby Dam Yi. after that, it's blunder after blunder, always getting caught by Jung Seok Jo, like he his nemesis(ノω<。)ノ*************also considering the power her grandfather has amassed, i doubt just exposing's his private army can amount to much. not when he is getting rid of any & all opposition. who will remind in power to oppose him? let alone help Lee Hwi take him down? Ji Woon? the Court Lady? or maybe Eunuch Hong Bok Dong - plz*****************************************************************************************************************************************also read comment's about how Ji Woon endangering Lee Hwi by kissing him in the open. sorry but it takes 2 to tango. Lee Hwi knows where she is, let alone the predicament she is in (what she stands to lose). she should've used her brains & not lead with her heart. so they both to blame IMO*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't buy Prince Jehyeon in exile. sorry but until i see him, don't buy he was left alive. not with someone like Han Ki Jae running the show.

what a depressing ep, yeah there were light moments but on a whole this was freakin sad & angering. like i mentioned in the previous ep Han Ki Jae & Jung Seok Jo r forces to be reckoned with. what they want, happens(!) everyone bows down, get out of their way or get's mowed down. idk who is strong enough to take them down. **************************************************when Lee Hwi / Dam Yi was having that confrontation with her grandfather, i thought that if at that moment she stabbed & put an end to him, maybe she could stand a chance at stopping his rein of madness. ***************************************************cause sorry, for 13 eps now i haven't seen anyone who is capable of outsmarting the dude, let alone taking him down. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i need her to stop promising her (poor) step-brother that "everything will be ok". sorry but there's No point making deal's or even pleading with her grandfather. here he ordered his own granddaughters murder (more then once) & Dam Yi thinks just cause she is ready to barging, her grandfather will fall inline ＼（〇_ｏ）／or even keep his word?(ノω<。)ノ really?? this was beyond naïve. ***************************************************************************************************************************she has No way of keeping anyone safe (not even herself) the only reason she will be kept alive, is so she can be used as a puppet. the sec she start causing problems she will be married off in the hopes of getting a greatgrandchild, that can be put on the throne so she can be taken out. her grandfather sees her as a tool not as someone to love a cherish. doubt he has every seen anyone in those terms.

Han Ki Jae b*tch slapping everyone in his way - dude has no chill. he doesn't give a sh*t & he for sure doesn't count the King in any way his superior - little wonder the King is doing everything in his power, to not add to Han Ki Jae's power.*****************************************************************************************************************************************this was another roller costar of an ep. i guess like others i am glad Prince Chang Woon is out of the picture. but anyone who knows him, knows he is the last person that would take his own life - cause he felt ashamed. people like him have NO shame(!) & they would do anything, Anything to live another day. sadly he thought Prince Won San could be trusted. pretty sure he is the one that ended his life. what i don't get - even if he gets his way & the Crown Prince is deposed, he still not in line to the throne ＼（〇_ｏ）／****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also was disappointed in the Grand Queen Dowager, her justifying her sons actions as it's just who he is - how can she be the "mother of the nation" when her child is the only one she cares for(?), while everyone else is expendable?!? even though given the cast system in those times, i guess if u not rich then u r no better then an animal & animals don't have rights, but they do have owners. sad ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************must say i don't get commenter's going on & on about Lee Hwi / Dam Yi long hair - sorry but throughout this drama have u seen anyone with short hair?!? regardless of gender??? think Kim Ga On is the only one & still his hair is long enough to be tide up. in those times u DIDN'T cut ur hair short. it was a punishment & disgrace if it was...
