Put the drama on hold because it was too heavy and depressing for my taste/mood at the time. Did this improve…
edit: just read your other replies.. you do you :D having another opinion is great and okay.
it gets heavier because how the story evolves to the meatier part, yet I would say that it is definitely getting better and it is in the darker, complex theme that had its charm.. Talented director and genius writer duo of how there are a lot of going on but they made it in a way that don't confuse the audience. They unfold it so smoothly that it was not a chore to watch.
Another great thing, is that the suspense is not from questions planted in the audiences mind, but the revelation unveils as the episodes go by. There are characters and there is a story. The more we watch, the more we understand the story and get attached to the characters (in both good and bad ways). My ultimate favorite though is how this is not the typical underdog story because we get to see how the queen struggle so we can empathize with her and yet, in each episode also, we get to see her get trample her adversaries and or gain allies along the way.
I don't want this to end yet, but I also cannot wait to finish and do a full review on this :D A great drama to end the year 2022.
episode 14 and I am still thrilled and hooked. The story is getting better and better. the directing is flawless as always. How is this not stretched to 20 episodes? I don't want this to end just yet.
Who is Bae In Hyuk ?May I have the name of a drama they starred in, please.
Baek In Hyuk played the role of the former crown prince, the eldest son of the queen.
The dramas that I watched with him are: (waiting for his leadmainrole where I can actually finish watching.) Cheer Up (2022) Why Her? At a Distance, Spring Is Green My Roommate Is a Gumiho and some webdramas
just finished episode 13 and it is past midnight. should i go on or sleep? Why is this so goood!!! it is taking my sleep away. I need to secure coffee for tomorrow.
Just finished episode 12.. my love and attachment to this series is getting deeper. I wish this was extended to 20 episodes. There was so much going on. The people of the queen dowager are slowly falling neatly on our queen's side. I can see that the crown princess will be following the footsteps of our queen :D I miss the other princes and the comedic relief whenever they are on screen. Gaah, I want to see more of the family, even the late crown prince's son and wife.
when will we have a top tier drama again when this ends this weekend? :(
Really good analysis of the queen. I felt like she is winning people overtime slowly. Everyone that queen dowager…
yes2, I really like it that she is letting the enemies turn against each other, while she is winning people over her side along the way :) hoping to see a union of queens versus the queen dowager. hehehe this set up never fails to remind me of sky castle. -moms versus the evil tutor. hehehe.
I have hold the last episode for so long because I did not want to part with this drama yet.
what I discovered after the hiatus and filling it with other romcoms (with handful of cringe west romcom movies) is that, with jdramas (romance and sol), it can still be borderline fantasy tag (the cases are rare to impossible in real life), but also, because Japanese portrayals of ordinary people are just a chef's kiss ,that I can't help running my mind wander that somewhere out there, sometime through the years, these stories could happen in real life.
why is this getting better each episode? because we see how much is the struggle, but also, we get to witness how she is satisfyingly winning. we empathize with the pain, and that is why we also get to share the victory.
this was not a mere underdog story where we wait for happy ending, but it is a story of a queen. She is strong because she has a lot of people to protect. She is a queen who has people under her umbrella. and episode 9 revealed that it was not only her sons, nor the people who work in her chambers, but even the girls in the shelter, and eventually, the whole nation. She is little by little owning all the more her title as queen.
the drama is still going strong and keep my interest in the maximum. our queen's charm is still unparalleled and Chani's character is still despicable. I can't imagine a king who kills to manipulate someone just ultimately for his greed. aggghhhh! and don't get me started with the queen dowager! they did a great job casting great actors/ress for villain roles!
Queen

a graceful figure that younger ladies aspire to be as they grow older.
Can we stop the evil mother-in-law and or increase more lovely mothers in general :D
Also a non-villain Chani. hehehe. the rage and hate is just so on top in this one. this just means that he is that convincingly good, right?
I can see that the crown princess will be following the footsteps of our queen :D
