estar i know it is a running joke in Da Hei's family that they kid around saying he got the height but not the brains & other such "jokes".. basically saying he is stupid that he really believes this to be a fact. at the end when he said that he isn't smart enough to figure things out if Xiao Bai doesn't tell him & that maybe the real problem is that he doesn't have anything to offer. kinda broke my heart. not everyone is a genius or a straight A student but that doesn't make them stupid. & Da Hei has so many great qualities it is annoying me now that his grandmother & sister have hurt him so deeply, he feels like he is worth less then others cause he is lacking. ************************************************************************************************************& have to say i genuinely don't get WTF anyone wants from Da Hei, he isn't involved in the gangster ring. he doesn't run drugs or money. doesn't do anything that is outside of the law - yet No Sir wanted to exchange Xiao Bai with someone new cause he was compromised. & Xiao Bai promise to turn Da Hei in - for what???? what am i missing??? all the odd jons Da Hei does is now against the law??? ********************************************************************************************************************side note: weird that just now (a few eps from the end) we getting introduced to a new character, especially if they trying to create a 2nd couple. which i didn't see any attraction between Da Bai & No Sir. even the buttoning of the shirt & the tie around the neck scene came out of left field & left me wondering WTF. cause Da Bai didn't seem interested / attracted to No Sir. if anything, now if No Sir was paired with Dou Ke Yi, that would be on hell of a twist. as there was more electricity when their eyes met (a few eps back)... just saying.

Hioki is freakin adorable - how can one not love him?!??? but dude's blind as a bat LOL... idk how his glasses r not as thick as a tree trunk OMG that part is a bit ridiculous & if u can't see, u will go into the bath with ur glasses on - wear water goggles above them.. better then slipping & breaking ur head. *************************************************************************************but on a whole another great ep - the girls r annoying, but i get they there to push the mains together. still don't like how they lack self awareness, neither of the guys in the 'fab 4' group wanted them around or wanted to be around them - yet they kept acting kinda pathetic. then adding to their unlikability by trying to gang-up on Hioki or demanding answers from Watarai.

all the bad-guys got their comeuppance - really liked that Gong Gil avenged his sister & was the one to punish Mok Ju, it seemed very fitting. & even though i am sure everyone loved the ending we got. personally i think it would be more fitting that after Ji Yeong lost her life & the book activated it's magic, she would disappear not the book. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************sorry but from that part onwards it was b.s. IMO - i get wanting a 'happily ever after' but come on - 1. the book can't disappear, for the main fact that Ji Yeong needs to get her hands on it in the future. so it has to remain in the past & pass through whomever until Ji Yeong get ahold of it. - 2. Ji Yeong waking up with the scar - sorry but either they could've made it look like she injured herself in the airplane - so it was still healing. but the way it looked, there no logic in it. & the worse bit - 3. the King traveled through time - how?!? just wishful thinking made it happen??? & let say him wishing really hard brought him into the 21st Century - yet he hasn't raised any alarms? there no country where people can just exist without documentation, let alone money. & he popped-up into a country bordering another, where someone undocumented who is Korean & speaks the language can mean a spy or worse. also he didn't look like a hobo, where he get the money to look so well groomed & clothed?!? & how he gonna make a living? be Ji Yeong kept man??? a reach IMO. **************************************************************Ji Yeong popping up in the past is less of an issue, as there were no records kept then - especially not of the average (non connected, moneyless, powerless) civilian's. but in this age, the idea is ridiculous - too fancifully for my liking. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************this was a great drama until this ending (which soured thing for me) even though it was just 12 ep's, the plot was well thought-out & acted. there wasn't a boring moment or a moment where i felt this is unnecessary.... & would be perfect if not for the ending ugh... but it is what it is & i am sure i will rewtach this, cause this was fun to binge watch & loved a lot of the character's.

the acting here is phenomenal - the emotions r so raw & hard to just be a spectator & not get effected. feeling rage or tearing up with the character's, gave my goosebumps watching this throughout this drama so far & this was the peak. ******************sadly as we nearing the end, so knew that it's gonna get sad as many likeable character's r gonna die. idk what awaits us in the next (last) ep, but i don't want anyone in the royal kitchen to die. as is poor chief Eunuch Seon & Court lady Mal Im, let alone countless innocents had to be murdered so Prince Je San could take the throne. even felt sorry for Queen Dowager In Ju - but at least she didn't die thinking the one who went on a rampage, was Yi Heon. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also one of the reasons Prince Je San succeeded, was cause Chief state councilor Han & his whole clan were help bent on strategizing about how the get rid of the King, the irony is hilariously sad. ********************************************************* ****************************************************************************************************************************************& i didn't mention Im Song Jae (the King's bbf) or his father cause they were in the midst of conniving, scheming & killing. so yeah sad that they died but what they usually did to others came back to bite them in the ass & they not that innocent so it is what it is.

as much as i am enjoying this & kinda get what's going on i also feel like there is a lot going over my head & i am not 100% sure if what i assume is right. from what i see Queen Dowager In Ju is a good person & maybe she got rid of the King's mother cause her clan wanted absolute power (but that's assuming Yi Heon was from another clan - was she?) & i guess Prince Je San has got to the evidence 1st that Queen Dowager In Ju & her clan falsely accused & executed Yi Heon's mother - what will break him. causing him to go berserk & justify Prince Je San "take over". hell of a plan he has concocted. *************************************that's why there is a pat of me that's annoyed that Ji Yeong would stop with the b.s & just tell Ji Heon that his uncle Prince Je San was dangerous - to keep a close eye on him. something anything but keep quite.

i am glad i was wrong about Man Su [8th rank senior cook] & the reason he was being (or what looked like) mean to Gil Geum also glad he came clean to Ji Yeong. but they were being so transparent in their subterfuge - Mok Ju's personal court lady isn't blind or stupid. i hope Man Su's mother does pay the price, cause Mok Ju doesn't look like the forgiving & understanding kind.btw the person/character i have come to hate the most is Prince Je San - he is just gross / slimy & i hope Yi Heon (the King) will start suspecting him. as is Ji Yeong hasn't thought to warn him & i fear it will be too late when she does. there too many good people that could die cause of the rebellion...

i really liked the group, pity this didn't turn into a quest where the 4 just went on a long journey until the end. all the palace intrigue is so tiring & even depressing to watch. until this ep i felt really bad for Man Su [8th rank senior cook], yeah he was Mok Ju "rat" & would constantly do her bidding - BUT when push came to shove she did't stand by him & she wont in the future. so i get that he is powerless & can't refuse or evade her orders. but his going after poor sweet innocent Gil Geum - really pissed me off. like WTF dude why target her (yeah i know he thinks if she leaves it will hurt Ji Yeong) & yet Gil Geum lack power & is so innocent she can't hurt a fly - so i am pissed ugh.

in the previous ep when Ramphueng confronted the ghost of the female Khemjira, i thought that she or her previous incarnation stole her man or some such. but after this ep, i guess they murdered(?)/sacrificed(?) her child. that would freakin justify turning demonic, where no one can stand up too, let alone defeat u. as the saying goes hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. justified IMO ***************************************************************************************************************also from what i've seen until now, idk why in the description says that Khem got a female name, cause women in his family were safe. that's not the case. ********************************************************************************************************& as the old woman (that Jet called grandmother) knows Ramphueng & why she is holding a grudge, shouldn't she inform the master so they might figure out a way to appease her soul , so that she might stop & move on?!? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but found it ironic but also cute that Jet & Chan r reincarnations of female Khemjira's bff's that were a gay couple. it's cute - even though there really isn't a story/romance between them. so idk where this is going. not developing their plot feels more like a miss then a hit to me. but it is what it is. & regarding the main couple, must say i am kinda astonished at Khem's lack of pride, given the fact Peem doesn't treat him with kid gloves. if anything he loves being extra rude & mean to him & yet Khem still around trying to kiss ass. & i get that it's cause he is desperate to live. still shocking *******************************************btw i thought Peem choosing the life of a shaman mean he needed to be celibate, no??? am sure that's what his grandfather told him. so doesn't everyone know this fact? if so why Phrima trying to woo him? & why Peem letting her?!??

must say i don't get why Ramphueng is so powerful & wish Peem told Khem that the reason he can't help him, is cause it could cost him his life or the life of someone close to him. & hope just for Khem to live, "they" won't sacrifice a side character. the worse would be those spirit kids Peems got by his side 24/7. sorry not sorry Khem not worth the sacrifice. *********************here i don't even like him much, he the type of character where the whole plot & character's revolve around his sorry ass & i don't get why. was he needed to hold a candle for Jet & Chan??? if he was a good friend, the sec Chan came by, he would find a reason to leave - as Chan & Jet might bicker but u for sure can feel there is more between them. why insert ur-self into their story?? why everyone gotta cater to his pathetic ass? i don't find him cute in the least (the actor might be, but the character - NOPE) & the sad puppy dog eyes don't move me in the least. *********************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************ironically when the plot doesn't revolve around him, it's quite interesting, even cute & entertaining (even if he is in the scene) as long as the focus isn't on him - this good. but the sec he is the focus, i lose interest cause i know it will take him ages to talk, move, react like a freakin sloth *******************************************************************************************************btw mentioning Chan - i knew he would remain behind for Jet, sadly Khem is thick & can't catch a clue to save his life. he stuck like glue to Jet, so there is no chance of anything developing between Jet & Chan - which is a shame, as i am sure they would be 100% much more interesting & entertaining to watch. oh well - ********************************************************************Krittanai might be a good guy, but seeing him in this BL reminds me of his character in Work From Heart, he was a narcissistic ass-hat in that & the gaslighting let alone the SA didn't ender him much. so seeing him & that smile makes me uneasy. i know he gonna be the catalyst that forces Peem to admit his feelings if not act on them. but still Krittanai's character Ohm is to vivid to forget & sadly that not a plus. good acting as i hated him lol - but now i feel like i need to prepare myself to whatever he's gonna get up too - ugh

sadly i have come to the realization, that i don't really like Ji Won. his playing coy & shy just rubs me the wrong way. the constant long silence's r grating & annoying. Jeong U who i was unsure about (as he came off like a player that was just toying with the timid Ji Won) is a much more interesting character, that is showing growth. he's not bland like Ji Won, he also looks great & his bad-boy personality is hot. him getting paired with the dull Ji Won??? not my idea of a great coupling. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the character i really like is Seung Jin, he's quirky, sweet & funny. idk if i want a 2nd couple - but he for sure is a much more interesting character, that is likeable, heck loveable & u wanna root for... then Ji Won - sorry, not sorry.

ironically since the romance was done with & the plot got serious, the acting got ridiculous. & can't seem to over look it & all the plot-holes. this was another ep that was tough to watch - kept stopping & taking a break. but somehow i am at the end. find it curious that Babe's father (who was alive) didn't reach out to his son, who had distanced himself from Chen for over a decade & was living on his own terms. even if he wasn't completely free of Chen, why wouldn't his biological father try & reconnect with him?!? i don't get this logic. (btw a good looking dude, considering his age). ***************************************also didn't get why Charlie decided to suddenly pop-up. how would he know what Babe & his group planned? or cause Jeff wasn't in contact he was sure Chen had him & he came to rescue him?? & why he sure Jeff with Chen & not just having a honeymoon now that he started a new relationship?!? **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Babe& his group really haven't thought anything through. yeah they wanna exposé Chen & save the kids. but who says the reports at the event not Chen's people?!? & who is gonna make sure the children r ok & looked after, after getting free from Chen?? this plot really isn't thought out - same with their just ambushing the event unarmed & with no backing. here Chen has the upper hand with the manpower at his hand - idk ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i really felt so sad for Kent in this ep. dud e was a bad guy until now but here u see he is still a child who want's his fathers approval & love. so freakin sad.

thought Way would save the day at the ending.. will have to see in the next ep i guess - but have to say what is the point of all the alfa enigma talk?!? Kent (in this ep) it was made clear that he is normal / average human (idk why Chen would take in a child without powers but ok) & yet he is capable of over powering Pete?!???? then the enigma's power comes down to being able to impregnate an alfa?? that's it? much ado about nothing if u ask me like this whole BL. *************************************even Charlie really being alive, was kinda anti climactic - same with the start of relationship between Jeff & Alan, Jeff so worried about turning Alan off cause of his clairvoyant abilities but not worried that he has been lying to Alan & caused Babe serious heartache with the Charlie's death - lie???

this ep was kinda stupid - everyone kept falling allover their own two feet - little wonder someone as despicable as Chen is thriving. all the "good guys" r utterly incompetent. & have to say i still don't understand why Charlie is ready to sacrifice his life for Babe, i get he got close to him cause he saw Babe as a tool to deal with Chen - same with taking Babe's "powers"... but still offering up his life at every turn, isn't cute or funny. it's just kitschy. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Jeff just walking into Chen's house as if he didn't grow up there & knows that place filled with Chen's henchmen. Babe & Charlie playing as a D-rated Charlie's angels - other then getting hurt & flirting with each other, they have yet to accomplish a thing. also had hopes the mysterious Mr. Pete would be the "Ace card" that would take Chen down - WTF was that? him hiding & watching a poor kid getting sold off, only to have Ken hold a knife at his throat & do nothing then make cow-eyes at him WTH is going on - idk. but i know it wasn't impressive. ************************************************************************************bummer, as it feels like the writer can write romance but not anything complicated... it isn't well thought-out or executed. all of the (good) character's r coming of stupid & goofy. as this is developing in this ep, Chen is gonna have a happily ever after by the end, not the mains. ******************************************************************************************************************* also was sure Way would betray Babe.... but idk

knew the mother wouldn't give up that easily & yet she did give up & without much of a fight,when it came down to it. as Kanade's handling of her & the situation was mild at best - but i guess given this an Asian country, u can't really be rude to the parents even when they r being down right diabolical - she was actively destroying her sons life & her saying he would marry & have children was a bad-joke as there no woman alive that would put up with her, long enough to give her grandchildren, not even a yr into the marriage (if they ever reached that point & didn't bail a few months into dating) they would run away before they got pregnant. so idk what was going on in her head, for her to act the way she did & i guess as we nearing the end, so passivity worked & she bowed out while apologizing. *******************************************************************************also was shocked that by the end both guys consummated their relationship - given the touching of the lips that passes for a kiss i didn't think we would ever go there, even though the most we saw was one lying on top of the other shirtless & hugging. fitting & yet idk there something that just doesn't flow

this ep had it's ups & downs, but that ending killed me, Wu Suo Wei almost gave his "master" a heart-attack lol.... but have a feeling the next ep is gonna be a tough ride. just when i thought the main couple had overcome all the major hurdle's & it would be smooth sailing until the end.. guess not - aish ************************************************************************************the start was hilarious, Wu Suo Wei's grand escape that was helped by the "goddess" or rather Chi Cheng & then Chi Cheng distracting his father to allow Wu Suo Wei to limp away. so funny & adorable, but that's Wu Suo Wei for u. the whole reunion was wholesome too, love how Xiao Shuai who is usually terrified of Chi Cheng's shadow - when it comes to Wu Suo Wei he has no fear... the way he pushed Chi Cheng out of the way, so he could get to Wu Suo Wei OMO funny...**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************seeing Chi Cheng & his father, now it is so clear that they one & the same, they r tough & mean to everyone but the ones they love. maybe cause they r so similar, they tend to butt-heads, ironic really. but given the society & country they live in - it's not hard to understand where the father is coming from. Wu Suo Wei's mother said more of the same, just worded it in a different way. it's hard being in a relationship as is, but when there laws against ur sexual orientation, it's triply so... ***********************& even though the sister ignoring Wu Suo Wei, when she came to pick up her son bothered me - her talking to her father about the couple. shows that she is just like her father & brother, she has a tough facade but isn't a mean person, it just takes her time to warm & open up to new people. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the scene where Wu Suo Wei was all alone & he went to his family home, cause he felt lost without Chi Cheng & was seeking comfort in the place that held so many memories, was kinda heartbreaking - cause now without a mother he is all alone. so Chi Cheng even been gone for a few hrs, is insufferable. yeah he got Xiao Shuai, but Xiao Shuai being in a relationship he knows he's the third wheel, even if that couple doesn't say so... & now Chi Cheng gotta get thrown into jail - poor baby Wu Suo Wei
