I like him in roles like this, this is what suits him best

This was my fav ep so far-- all the funny village moments and random love pairings, I laughed so hard when Mechoori screamed about her lips in charades. I really appreciated how organic the last scene felt, no big dramatic confessions, just the two of them trying to find the courage to express how they really feel.

I'm loving Ye Jin's character arc. Chae Won Bin has been very charming in this role and I've been rooting from her from the start. You really understand how much she needed someone like Mechoori in her life, and him bringing her to his little village and creating a grounded and peaceful space for her knowing it was what could heal her is just so quietly loving.

I feel bad for Eric. He always has that smile on his face, even when he's upset, and now seeing how much of a b--- his sister is I just want him to find happiness for himself. He has this fantasy of him and YeJin he can't let go of and he's just going to keep getting hurt.

This is the nice part of the drama before the inevitable fallout before the final week so I'mma try and enjoy it while it lasts lol

Honestly, just block them. I used to get all riled up when I saw hater comments cause it's frustrating when people come to a show just to say the same criticisms over and over again, and I'd feel like I needed to respond and defend the show, but now I just block negative people like that and it's more peaceful.

What makes Ki Jun so charming is that he is both earnest and self-assured. There's nothing cringier than a clingy insecure dude who who can't leave the FL alone, but this is not that at all. He knows what he feels, and he can read how she feels, and is going to honor that truth and act accordingly. The kiss, him deciding to see if there's more between them, admitting he was jealous, saying he likes her, trying to find out if she wants the same thing --this is what a sensitive, confident man looks like.

The 2FL is useless. Not only pining after a married man who doesn't like her and bringing it up awkwardly to him at every possibility, she also tried to mark her territory on Ji Kun when she doesn't even like him anymore and he's being nice enough to let her stay at his place? She is genuinely trash and I really don't understand why she's even in this drama.

The 2ML doesn't make sense as a character. The entire drama he's shown a high level of respect and self control towards every single person, even people he hates, even people who have treated him terribly, except he suddenly turns into a controlling, physically dominating asshole just for the FL? I could totally see him showing more passion or emotion or anger around her, being more animated, etc, but breaking things, grabbing her against her will, the violence and possessiveness just reads as poor writing and trying to fit him into the jealous, toxic ex trope and somehow make his feeling seem more "real" or something to add drama. It's dumb.

I would love if this show focused wayyy less or not at all on the second leads, there's already enough conflict between the leads with the 800 foot walls In Ah has up. I am only watching this for them and the audit team, I love all their interactions.

Jae wook is one of my favs, but am I the only one who doesn't feel him and the FL have any chemistry here? I think it's because they're both cold, detached types, idk I just don't feel it.

That's just the patriarchy talking hon. A man who doesn't deny how he feels and is confident enough to put his heart on the line? that's what we call a real man

IJY looks like she is having a blast. She is so fully committed, and I can’t think of many other actresses that could pull the character off so well. I genuinely love every moment we spend with her.

HNJ is bringing so much flare and personality to a role that feels like it could have been way more flat as written. His little quirky expressions and rapidfire melodic dialogue are so oddly charming, and I genuinely love every scene he’s in also.

The two of them together are dynamite. So excited for next week already.

she just won baeksang best actress for this role, y'all look like clowns

omg they're nailing it tho, I even liked heo nam jun from previous roles and he's even better than I thought he'd be ngl ngl

riight? The fact that the ML grabbed another flower and went to town vs just walking away says all we need to know about what their relationship will be like.

Heo Nam Jun is sooo different here than I'm used to, he has really made the ML such a vibrant and fun character. I feel he really was wasted on all those nice guy second lead roles.

It's a parody of makjang historical dramas, how do u not get that.

The shaman in the present mentioned that her soul and the new soul/body are one now, that it wasn't a soul swap, I think they're hinting that the past is the past and there won't be any story about the past anymore, just her trying to find her second chance at life now. I would LOVE that.

This is why I prefer enemy to lovers because that usually takes a longer time for them to finally get together and doesn't leave room for lazy tropes like unnecessary breakups or personality transplants or whatever else

Guysss ep 1 was SO GOOD. Characters, script, acting, visuals, directing, everything--CHECK.

I love our hot-headed fake villain duo already. They're gonna have so much fun and so are we

1000000%. Why does almost every drama unravel at this point in the story. EVERY single time it's a forced break up/separation/misunderstanding that could be cleared up with a one minute conversation. I wanted more from this drama.

My only hope is that the 3 hour convo between I-AN and the PM was actually them being for real with each other, laying everything on the table including the burned will and the poisoning evidence, and coming up with a plan that will cause the least amount of damage to the monarchy and HJ. Cause you can't tell me the PM was just fine with letting the queen's father get off scot free after attempting to murder the prince and the queen for leaking the contract, or that I-AN wouldn't be digging into every corner of the palace to find everything he can use to clear their names.

I pray for a flashback next episode where we see the true plan unravel.

Yeah and I'm so glad I-AN called her out in the preview cause all her "fight don't run" and then running BS

I love the actor but am annoyed because I was hoping for ONCE he wasn't evil. Cliche at this point

It would make less sense for him to have released it tbh. That document would not only prove the king named him as the successor, but like the Queen's Father said, it would implicate the Queen in the fire that killed the king, and harm the welfare of the young current King, and throw the monarchy and country into a scandal and chaos, and especially now after the contract revelations it would just make the entire monarchy look like a bunch of corrupt liars.

I assume he was trying to find a way to corner the queen and gain the throne behind the scenes that kept the document secret from the public, or a way to do it that would cause the least harm. I'm sure he is trying to find a way to use it still, but it would be kinda dumb of him just to release it now , it could backfire super hard.

I love angst, tbh, but the noble idiot trope is so overplayed in dramas, k drama writers don't even try at this point they are so lazy. It's esp annoying in this case beacuse HJ and I-AN have grown organically closer and closer and gotten better and better at communicating , and now HJ, who from the start has been ADAMANT that you don't back down, who never cared what the awful queen thought before, because of ONE LINE of the queen decides to just stop communicating whatsoever with I-AN, stop being honest with him, and break up with him, breaking his heart in the process. It's so dumb. And so forced.
