Hyun watching Ji Woon confess his heart, while not knowing Lee Hwi was female, must have been a sobering moment. cause his friend had the guts to do what he couldn't. yeah he might be worried Lee Hwi / Dam Yi will reject him, but have a feeling he is more worried that in-spite of confessing, they couldn't really do a thing about it. cause Lee Hwi / Dam Yi is in a hell of a bind given his identity & position. *********************************************************************************************************also read a comment saying they couldn't feel bad for Hyun as he had every opportunity to get in the ‘circle’ by confessing, that he knows the truth. well i beg to differ, i am 99% sure if he came clean while Lee Hwi / Dam Yi's mother was alive, he wouldn't live past the confession. **************************************************************************************************************he is related to the Grand Queen Dowager (who isn't Lee Hwi / Dam Yi's fathers mother). so he is a threat to Lee Hwi / Dam Yi's position & thus his mother & her clans position. she wouldn't let him live, if she found out he knew. & the only reason she left the Court Lady, Eunuch Hong Bok Dong & Hyung Chul (King Hyejong's bodyguard) alive, was cause she knew she needed their help to keep the ruse going. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************Lee Hwi / Dam Yi's need to rush into a marriage is to put distance between him & Ji Woon. to make it clear to Ji Woon that he was serious when he turned him down, that he should stop & move on. also i doubt the father is offering to delay the marriage out of concern for his son. he is more worried about Han Ki Jae's growing power, the conniving to make sure the Crown Prince's place to the throne was solidified. & the sec the Crown Prince marries let alone has a child, Han Ki Jae's lineage let alone position is gonna grow. which will not only endanger the King but his 2nd son's life & future. *******************************i donno how i feel about Lee Hwi persisting with So Eun, especially when she understood So Eun was interested in another. i get her wanting to get-on with the whole marriage thing so it can be behind her & it will push Ji Woon away. but that isn't fair to So Eun - or any woman for that fact as she can't really offer anything other then friendship. this is turning into a mess that idk how anything is gonna get resolved without someone dying

the wedding bit is gonna complicate sh*t - not that Lee Hwi / Dam Yi had an out. as the grandfather pointed out, at the Crown Princes age the father already had Lee Hwi / Dam Yi. they marry young - so this issue would've popped-up sooner or later. the bigger question is how Lee Hwi / Dam Yi gonna deal with "his" wife. let alone how he gonna deal with the honeymoon or the heir situation. ************************************************************************************************************************found it funny that Eunuch Hong Bok Dong suggested hand-holding - poor innocent Bok Dong (⊙_⊙;)********************************************************************************************************************************************wonder why Hyun rushed off when he realized Ji Woon was the kid Lee Hwi / Dam Yi saved. wondering not cause he realized Ji Woon was the 1st love of his 1st love. but it seemed like it had to do with the date & Dam Yi... so hope we find out soon - as is there a ton of questions i needed answered.************************************************************************************************************************************************Prince Chang Woon is such a douche, he a menace to society & am thankful that he had no chance of becoming King. that is the last thing the people of Joseon needed. but am left wondering about Prince Won San (Hyun's older brother) why he keeping company of that douche?!? his words made him seem like he not that different then his younger brother BUT his always being close to that despicable Uncle makes me wonder...

wondering if Kim Ga On is gonna be an addition to the list of guys falling for Lee Hwi / Dam Yi. but considering the flashback, maybe he hates royalty so much so, that that would never happen. still wondering if he knows who put the OG tutor of the Crown Prince to death, cause it wasn't Lee Hwi (who was a kid at the time) so why he try to kill him (in the assassination's attempt), cause he related to the people who ordered the death?!? & that's also why he is "watching" the King?!? & is he the one killing off the official's... & does this mean that the new Queen isn't behind the assassination attempt - so many questions. *****************************************************************************************************************************************glad the situation with the Ming delegation was solved. had a feeling that Tae Gam just needed someone to show remorse, about everything he had been through. glad Dam Yi (who sympathized) found it in herself to offer that token of peace. guess it was something she would've liked for someone to offer her - the understanding & expression of regret, that she will never receive. *******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: considering everything going on, am kinda shocked we didn't see hide nor hair of her granddad, he not one to sit back or take a vacation. especially when politics r involved - for sure not after bribing Tae Gam. wouldn't his side hustle be in jeopardy?!?

this was such a roller costar ep - aish.... Ji Woon fan-girling over Lee Hwi is adorable & funny. but his putting that flower behind his ear took me out. as in Korea a person who puts a flower in their hair, is considered bonkers. so that scene was extra funny IMO. but he still such a man, as he was oblivious to the part where So Eun has developed a crush, or that Lee Hwi was acting jealous (when the 4 bumped into each other), still that was the quite before the storm...*****************************************************************************************************************************************btw what is going on between Han Ki Jae & Grand Queen Dowager?!? was sure even if they didn't like each other, they were on Lee Hwi side. looks like the Grand Queen Dowager got her own agenda. also is King Hyejong cold towards Lee Hwi cause he dislikes her grandfather? if so, is he in accord with the new Queen wanting to push Lee Hwi out of line of secession? a lot going on there.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also i get why Tae Gam (Chief Eunuch of Ming) was acting like a spoilt brat or rather held a grudge against Joseon (as a whole). he was sold off as a kid, by his country men. he & other children like him - who knows what a life he lived in Ming. heck him being an Eunuch already paints a pretty distressing pic about how he survived there. so that despicable guy offering more slaves to Ming was adding fuel to a fire, that has been burning in him since he was a kid. ******************************************& as he couldn't take out his anger on that douche, the day after in a paranoid, infuriated state, assumed he was being looked down upon by a court lady & as he couldn't hurt the Crown prince, he took out his anger on her. so yeah he deserved getting punched but this gonna back fire, as sadly a court lady doesn't justify seeking revenge/justice on her behalf, let alone destroying diplomatic relations - what a mess

this a fun ep (in-spite of everything that happened). was partially right Hyun does have a crush on his cousin, only he is aware that his cousin is female. kinda shocked he chose to keep the secret. on the other hand feel bad for him as he's slotted into the SML role.... which means he will give & give, never to really get his hearts desire ＼（〇_ｏ）／ might even end up sacrificing his life(ノω<。)ノ*****************************************************************************************************************************************must say as much as i don't like Han Ki Jae (as he a total bad-guy) in the scene where he walks in & slaps Chang Woon across the face - showed everyone especially Lee Hwi / Dam Yi that she is lacking & will never have the killer instinct to be the ultimate ruler, that her mother hoped for. leave her being scared (justifiably) of her grandfather, she is scared of her own shadow, even though she is doing a great job in masking this fact. but anyone & everyone who looks can see this glaring fact. & sorry but i don't buy Park Eun Bin as a male - she is a great actress & is doing a better job (far better then other actresses i've seen in roles they supposed to be playing men), but anyone with eye's can see that she is female. but the plot & acting is so good i can ignore this glaring truth.*****************************************************************************************************************************************what is Kim Ga On's assignment?!? he now close to Lee Hwi but keeping tabs on her father - why?!? idk what is going on & how everything is connected - hope we get answer's soon. also i was wondering why Hyung Chul stopped being Lee Hwi bodyguard, he is the main one that has been protecting Dam Yi since she was a baby. guess he got promoted to being King Hyejong's bodyguard - bummer. *************************************************************************************************************************considering Dam Yi situation, she needs to surround herself with people she can trust & neither the Court Lady nor the Eunuch can do much (other the sacrificing their lives) which will give her a few secs (if that) before she is "taken down".

i thought Ji Woon would be faster on the up-take. the sec i saw his "office" being ransacked, i knew his father was involved. the torture of the brother & sister (that work for him) was overkill IMO. but i guess Seok Jo needed to drive the point, that Ji Woon had no other go, but to agree & do as he was told. even though i totally don't trust his father & am worried, that by the time Ji Woon fulfills his assignment, both siblings will be dead. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also until the outing at the end was about to say that i guess i got i wrong (about Hyun's reaction/feelings towards Lee Hwi). but the way he looks at him/her regardless of their familial bonds & similar gender that aint platonic. i for sure haven't looks at an of my cousins (regardless of their gender) the way he looks at Lee Hwi. ********************************************************************************************************************************************& i was sure the assassin was sent by the new Queen (Lee Hwi's stepmother) & her clan. but the Grand Queen Dowager (who seemed to be rooting for Lee Hwi) appointing the guy that was the assassin, is making me wonder if i read her wrong. or was she duped.

find it ironic that Dam Yi saves Ji Woon again from drowning. the dude in water sinks like a stone. one would think after what almost happened to him as a kid, he would learn how to swim ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノω<。)ノ *****************************************this ep on a whole was very light & fun. liked the new addition of adult Hyun. even though the way he looks when thinking of Lee Hwi, or acts around him it seems like he is infatuated with his younger cousin. has he figured out that Lee Hwi is a girl? (not that i have a problem with BL) just when he was looking at the "pen" he brought for Lee Hwi & that other dude made fun insinuating it was for a female, Hyun didn't look offended. which he should've been, as too him Lee Hwi is male (a male of small stature, but a male all the same). maybe i am over thinking - time will tell.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i feel sad for Prince Jehyeon, as it seems like he genuinely likes his older step-brother. so seeing him trying & getting the cold shoulder is sad. not that i am faulting Dam Yi, even without the jealousy part of seeing her father being open & loving towards the new son, she has to be doubly guarded as the new Queen is openly hostile.

2nd ep & i am bloody crying - that scene where the mother tells her daughter to eat, broke my heart. & if that wasn't enough poor I Wol (she wasn't even a witness per-say. just worried about her friend & asked the inspector - the last guy asking after her, if he found Dam Yi. only to get "taken out"). but the bit that i was thankful for - was that Ji Woon saw his fathers true colors. *********************************************************************************************************************************given everything that was going on, was worried how Lee Hwi / Dam Yi would react when she found out that Ji Woon was Jung Ji Woon son. the man that killed her identical twin by mistaking him for her.****************************************************************************************************************************************also wasn't expecting to lose the Crown Princesses so soon. was worried who could help Dam Yi reach adulthood. cause as much as Court Lady Sang Gung & Eunuch Hong Bok Dong could help, they didn't have the power to get in between anyone as powerful as either grandfather, the Emperor or that despicable Han Ki Jae. but that whole part was skipped over lol so never mind.

the scenes with the budding romance between Dam Yi & Jung Ji Woon were the bright spot in this ep. the rest was pretty depressing & not only talking about young Lee Hwi's end. but the massacres at the start, just to cover up the existent of Dam Yi being a (god forbid) female twin to the new born prince. i guess when a woman has no worth, it's logical that sharing the same womb will be looked down upon. sad reality (the inferiority of females) world around at that point in time, i think -*****************************************************************************************************************************************the abusive patriarchs in this - whether it be the Queen's father, the Crown Prince's father or even Ji Woon's father, that cause of the edict from the Emperor (or personal ambition) is ready to kill anyone getting in his way. just shows how they abused the power they had. scary world/time to live in regardless of ur statues or gender.************************************************************************************************************************************************************so how ironic they all cause the death of the one they want/the one of worth, while that poor child ends up paying for the greed of so many.

OMO knew this ep would rub me the wrong way, so to took a break & yet had to stop15 min's in. lets ignore the FL being a bit of an ungrateful b*tch (considering the way she is treating the ML & her mother, who have done her no wrong. if anything the ML is bending backwards to help her, even when she falters. he is there to help no questions asked, no thanks needed or given (°ロ°) ) but ignored this throughout the drama. *************************************************************************************the whole accident suddenly Do Guk's fault - how?!? i aint no gold fish & doubt anyone else is, so WTF is this plot twist? he wasn't the one that collided with Yi Joo's car! she was at fault, like a moron driving & crying then doing a sharp u turn in the middle of the road, colliding with the black car = Do Guk (who btw, how the frack did that happen??? he rushed out of the gallery cause his grandmother was hospitalized) but his car is still around Yi Joo (who left way after him???) what ＼（〇_ｏ）／ & a reminder for those that forgot, after Yi Joo collided with him, the white truck of doom crashed into Yi Joo's white car, then proceeded to flip over the black car, BUT Do Guk THE ONE THAT TRIED TO SAVE AN UNCONSCIOUS Yi Joo?!? really???? make this make sense (ノω<。)ノ******************************************************************************************so ima pass on the whole scene after that, when she acts the aggrieved party - like plz... until now have been more then understanding when she wasn't the strong FL that was given a 2nd chance to wreak havoc - get revenge on the ones that hurt her. but enough is enough, i draw the line at stupidity (let alone ungratefulness) just for the sake of some "drama" cause we 1 ep from the end (⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙)********************************************************************************************************************************************************until now i liked Tae Ja (the grandmother) she was a good character but she ignored Jung Wook's shady actions basically enabling him to kill a worker cause he has the unfortune to fall at the job - site. her apology at the end is worth nothing. was sure only the father was at fault for mollycoddling "poor" Jung Wook. but she as at fault to how he has turned out as Young Kyun

1st off have to say, didn't like Yi Joo letting her mother walk off after she apologized. she didn't need to apologize, her doing so was a kind & bighearted move. but Yi Joo not responding & letting her walk off was crap - like plz, there people that hurt her worse; her grandfather, father & she all hell bent on being close & familial with them （*゜ー゜*）*****************************************************************************************************************************************know until now everyone's sure that Yoo Ra's pregnant by Se Hyeok, not Jung Wook. personally given her actions in this ep, doubt it, it's a possibility - but what i am saying is that Yoo Ra isn't actively trying to deceive Jung Wook (like her mother).& wont say i feel sad or bad for her, but this is her wake-up call. until now she was a spoilt-brat, she wasn't just enabled by her mother but also by her father. now she's finally getting a rude awakening that was along time coming & she doesn't know how to deal - little wonder it's causing a mentally breakdown. ****************************************************************************************************************************************Young Kyun (Do Guk's father) is an annoying character. i get he can't be objective when it comes to Jung Wook. but his inability to be impartial when dealing with his eldest son means he is, as a direct consequence hurting his 2nd son. i don't get this. as he should've reevaluated his treatment of both sons, the sec Do Guk finally opened up about what happened between the brothers, as children. after rushing to punish one, treating him like the bad-child when he was not only innocent but a victim, how can he keep trying to mollycoddle the one that needs the sterner approach, cause of his shady, manipulative personality?!?＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノω<。)ノ*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't get why Do Guk bargaining with Jo Dong Soo?!? wasn't it enough, him admitting how much Jung Hye was gonna pay him to kill Yi Joo? isn't that admission enough to not only "get" Jung Hye behind bars, but use that admission as an incentive to admit what she got him to do in the past? am i missing something ? why go along with a plan that puts Yi Joo in danger??? weird writing IMHO

know it's kinda frustrating the one step forward one step back... but IMHO it is also very realistic. yeah both Yi Joo & Do Guk (who i am guessing was in the black car Yi Joo crashed into, when she was trying to go back to the gallery) r trying to get revenge - justifiably so... but that doesn't make them master minds at revenge. so there is a back & forth, also Jung Hye has been an evil mastermind & actively destroying lives for decade's - way longer then Yi Joo was alive, so of course it wouldn't be easy to exact said revenge. *****************************************************************************************************************************************plus in this ep finally Se Hyeok & his sister got their comeuppance (wish their mother had also been dragged into that police precinct kicking & screaming) other then that, they finally had to face the reality they kept avoiding - living in their victim complex bubble. *****************************************************************************************************************************************this a side note, but now have a feeling Lee Ji Won (cooking class teacher) is Yi Joo's biological mother. maybe she didn't know her baby survived the fire. how that came to be, we have yet to see.*****************************************************************************************************************************************also if Jin Woong was taken to hospital after collapsing (getting housed in a private room) how come no one has found out the reason he is so sickly, (cause he's being poisoned)?!?＼（〇_ｏ）／ Jung Hye got such huge balls, she's doing it while he's hospitalized?? how much money she got to keep bribing people???*****************************************************************************************************************************************additional side note: am glad Jae Won (Jung Hye's secretary) is on Yi Joo's side, but WHY??? what is his true motivation?!? before this ep, thought maybe he was the son of the housekeeper that was falsely accused of poisoning Yi Joo. not the case. so why???

i Love(!!!) Do Guk's mother, she the MVP of this drama IMHO, yeah the grandmother & sister also badasses that i love, but the mother rocks ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡***********sadly the father is an enabler, guess cause of his new family he felt guilt towards his elder son, so he (kept) keeps treating him with kid gloves, ignoring his diabolical side that is clear to the eye. but on that part, think besides Do Guk & his mother, seems like the rest don't pick up on what a conniving, evil MOFO he is. he a perfect fit for Yoo Ra's b*tchass (°ロ°) if they end up tying the knot (now that would be hilarious to watch), as they can only create pure hell for each other.*****************************************************************************************************************************************Se Hyeok the moron has come full circle, he started off infatuated with Yoo Ra & pitying Yi Joo. guess having "tapped that" ヾ(≧▽≦*) he fell out of love with Yoo Ra & now seems stuck on Yi Joo - go figure. guess he wants what he can't have - weirdo.*****************************************************************************************************************************************as Yi Joo took the hair sample from her father (for the paternity test), will they also see that he's getting poisoned?!? cause they will just be testing for matching DNA marker's... even though i have No love lost for Jin Woong, i do Not want Jung Hye to succeed.

Yi Joo was startled at the end i would've burst out laughing. Yoo Ra acts like she a bad-b*tch but she's pathetic. she a spoilt brat that should've gotten spanked in her childhood - maybe then she wouldn't act like immature baby & when she doesn't get something she wants, she throws a freakin tantrum - heck from the start of this drama that is the only thing she has been doing （*゜ー゜*）*****************************************************************************************************************************************this ep was weird in some way, i am just happy that Yi Joo stopped pushing Do Guk away. as is, really didn't like how the wedding went. get why she lost it but that was a bad start to any union. Do Guk is the typical ML in K-drama's, all understanding all forgiving. sometimes it get's frustrating to watch cause Yi Joo needed someone to shake her more then once in this ep. she keeps looking at her wrist - shouldn't that also remind her she doesn't have an eternity to deal with her "family"?!? ****************************************************************************************************************************& sorry but even if her father didn't know she was his biological daughter - he still abandoned a pregnant woman on his fathers say so. that doesn't make him a good guy. let alone, he let his wife abuse Yi Joo under his roof while he ignored everything - again idk if i would get my hopes up about him ＼（〇_ｏ）／*****************************************************************************************************************************************Se Hyeok karmic comeuppance is not far. he has already be rejected in the past/future(?) by Yoo Ra (ep 1) now he gonna get a second wake-up call. dude thinks a one night stand means a relationship pssh plz. u nothing but a chauffeur, an errand boy & an Asexual bff to Yoo Ra. u will never be more - can't wait when he realizes she (this time around) used him as a dildo ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

in-spite of all the backstabbing & conniving going on this was a fun & light ep (in parts). but wondering what Jung Wook's deal is - there were times it felt like he was annoyed/jealous at the fact that his mother approved of Do Guk's intended. also have a weird feeling that he can walk & is just using that cane to keep the lie about Do Guk pushing & injuring him "alive". pretty sure Do Guk didn't push his older brother & there is something dark going on there, given the PTSD*****************************************************************************************************************************************also until now even if i though Se Hyeok was a gutless moron, meek doormat i didn't get him verbally attacking his boss - is he stupid? he so hell bent on helping Yoo Ra, he not mind losing his job??? cause Yi Joo for sure wont take him back (it's made abundantly clear for a while now) so i don't get what is going on in his mind - he doesn't seem stupid＼（〇_ｏ）／ btw have to say even though i don't like him, appreciate that until now he has never been aggressive or mean with either female. appreciate that side of him. *****************************************************************************************************************************************Jae Won (Jung Hye's secretary) is another one that intrigues me, what is his deal. thought he was blindly loyal to Jung Hye. why he suddenly "eyeing" Yi Joo. what's his end goal there... *****************************************************************************************************************************************btw loved how Do Guk handled Yoo Ra - the blind trust was perfect. less so liking Yi Joo turning to everyone but the person that all the gossip was about. given his being the only one she can trust & is helping her from the word go - he deserves more of her trust IMHO
