The scene when Lady Dong read the scroll of possible candidates of for the next baduk instructor, Lee In quickly perked up when she said Kang Mong Woo & told Lady Dong to say the name again again. Lady Dong now wonders about his peculiar manner.
Lee In could have waited until the baduk selection process ended but he went immediately to watched to see if Kang Mong Woo was the person he's been sea rching for. He even counted the baduk pieces infront of Mong Woo when he didn't need to lol.
Mong Woo is the only person that can get a visceral reaction out of Lee In lol.
i hope to see more intense romance scenes between the king and Mong woo feeling like this drama could be either…
Jong Jung Seok mentions that Lee In & Mong Woo love story is this lol. It’s a ‘I hate you but love you’ kind of way lol. Just like the quote about being captivated. “To wish for life when you love them and to wish for death when you hate them”
I don't know, I guess I was expecting her to seem stronger in front of the King, but as soon as she saw him after…
Her eyes were definitely teary 🥲the intensity in his voice & anger probably scared her lol. But yes, I want to see fire in her eyes! But I really love the baduk scene of them when Lee In was counting the pieces. She kept her cool there.
I do think that Yi In is up to something, because why else wouldn't he elevate Dong sanggung? Elevating her would…
Yeah. Just like how he appointed Myung Ha as Sixth Royal Secretary (to keep a close eye on him from being persuaded by the enemy Qing). Lee In is moving people around around like a baduk pieces lol.
Yes, I think the reason the Queen Dowager looked distressed because Lee In had a search party to look to Mong…
I don’t think Lee In knows that Mong Woo is a woman. He’s still remembers her as Mong Woo, the friend he played baduk with during the rain & the terrible fallout they had. Lee In is definitely attracted to Mong Woo (romantically) I think he’s also aware of his feelings towards Mong Woo? But back then it would be seen as a blasphemy for a man to be attracted to a man. And as a King he would need heirs.
King's mother and wife seemed taken aback by hearing Mong Woo's name. Did Mom somehow declare him dead with a…
Yes, I think the reason the Queen Dowager looked distressed because Lee In had a search party to look to Mong Woo lead by his guard. Lee in thought about Mong Woo too much which annoyed her lol?
The scene when Lee In told Mong Woo to lift his head so he could see his face with the music playing in the back. The yearning in his eyes. I love that scene!! I love how the baduk game represents both Lee In & Mong Woo/Hee Soo attitude & feelings towards each other. They are both conflicted but the feelings are there. It’s going to an be constant battle between them. The end scene of them in the room together. Lee In telling Mong Woo he remembers everything about him. The tension & Jo Jung Seok acting is too good!
It seems like Lee In did in fact had a search party to look for Mong Woo since his Guard was there that night. I think the Queen Dowager is aware of Lee In’s feeling towards Mong Woo. I don’t think the she will be fond of Mong Woo. I think the reason Lee In doesn’t have a kid yet is because he probably wants Prince Royal to ascend but the Queen Dowager might assume that Lee In has feelings for a man?
Will Myung Ha tell HeeSoo that he forged a false report against Jin Han? The conflict between Lee In & Mong Woo started at this point lol. But it seems like HeeSoo does not know. And Myung Ha hates Lee In so he probably won’t tell her 😒
Here's a pre-release clip for ep 5 Queen Dowager speaking to Lee In about who he likes because Lee In went to the gidaeryeong selection process. He said ‘Mong Woo, Kang Mong Woo’. The Queen Dowager gave him a weary look lol.
Even after 3 yrs, Mong Woo still lives rent free in Lee In mind 🤣

Mong Woo is the only person that can get a visceral reaction out of Lee In lol.
I also think she’s cautious about him befriending a criminal who testify against him again.
I’m saying that Lee In is mad at Mong Woo but it is obvious that Lee In misses him dearly since they haven’t seen eachother in 3 years.

I could tell that Jo Jung Seok & Shin Sae Kyung really enjoy Lee In & Mong Woo moments (since SSK also mentioned before she liked their chemistry).
