I'm rewatching before saturday and I can honestly get more of where the GP is coming from when it comes to his…
I'm loving Jo Jung Seok performance. He's portraying Lee In very well. The switch between emotional-easy going to repressed with an unhinged side. One of the trailer, Lee In says that he himself must be crazy lol. I'm curious if the show is heading towards the route of him spiraling into deeper madness.
Can someone tell me if the male lead is smart and cunning ? Because dumb and weak main characters piss me off…
Yes, he is cunningly swift. He’s shown to be strategic & has great physicality - good with sword, archery, & horse riding. He’s competent unlike King Lee Seon, his brother.
Jo Jung Seok mentions that the last scene will be memorable & looks forward to it. He said he remembers the 'bitter cold & scary wind'. It's also his favorite scene.
I wonder if the last scene is shot in the snow? I don't remember the last time an ending scene for a drama was in the snow. Sounds interesting!!
- Ep 8 (this one was emphasize twice!) - rain scene (shown in the trailer?) - Queen Dowager & Lee in scene towards the end - Lee In & Mong Woo moments - Lee In & Uncle scenes mid-towards the end
Jo Jung Seok says that the love story between Lee In/HeeSoo was hard to interpret in acting form because it isn’t a ‘love you with all my heart’ kind of way but a love of suspicion & hate lol.
The people in the comment section hating on the ML and saying he is a villain not a hero just make me laughing…
I would be suprised if they actually ended up together lol. Personally, I think it will end on a good-bittersweet note. Maybe like Six Flying Dragons. The FL was a commoner & did not end up with the ML who ascended to the throne at the end (even though they have a deep profound relationship). I’m going to enjoy all of Lee In/Mong Woo moments! But plot wise overall, I don't see how they will end up together? The Queen Dowager would never allow him to marry someone like HeeSoo (since he already has a wife). I don't think HeeSoo is someone who would want to be a King's concubine either.
The only way I could ever see them ending up together if it’s years later when Prince Royal ascends to throne when he is of age, hence Lee In gives up his title? But is that even possible 🤔
I have loved this drama so far BUT I have a hard-time believing in the new mad king persona.Although its completely…
His happy-easy going persona when he is with Mong Woo may seem like a big contrast but Lee In has always been a repressed, emotional, conflicted person with intense feelings. Remember the poem he recited to the giseang. He even told his uncle that he would slice his head off for trying to commit treason against his brother.
He has to prove to the royal court that he is a better fit for King (not meek or weak) hence asserting his swift prowess. Killing Jong Bae (since some in the court didn't like him lol) & sending people away as punishment (forfeits his friendship with Mong Woo to 3yrs of labor & late kings wife sent to the temple) was the only way to ascend.
"Amid a royal and political power struggle, a king entangles with an intriguing woman — whose hidden desire…
It is a romance. I know that they’ll end up falling in love with each other (because they already liked eachother 3 yrs ago). I want to see them sword fight because that would be fun to watch.
He’s shown to be strategic & has great physicality - good with sword, archery, & horse riding. He’s competent unlike King Lee Seon, his brother.
