How much of the plot is about cancer? I would watch but this ilness triggers me so idk
i feel like the other comments aren't really giving you the correct overview. i don't know the extent of your trigger so i'll try to be as detailed as possible.
the first episode shows the female lead at a very advanced stage of cancer, and she was given six months to live. when she finds them having an affair, her husband also mentions how he purposefully had her not go to the doctor for her stomach pain, essentially wanting her to get sicker. it's a big part of ep1.
after that, it is largely referenced again through flashbacks and she is shown as sick. i dare say it is mentioned or shown in majority of the episodes.
later, as the story has the concept of either living your fate or passing it to someone else, another character is diagnosed with cancer. she is shown having stomach pain and being weak. she is going throught treatment (off-camera, mentioned) and surgery (off-camera, seein in hospital bed). it is caught early and she has no complications but a few episodes do deal with her coming to terms with that. this runs up until the finale.
i hope i've given you enough necessary information to make your decision. no show is good enough to worth you getting triggered on a distressing topic. for a similar time travel and revenge plotline without cancer i recommend perfect marriage revenge. sending love!
Honestly I really liked all her dramas since WWWSK, and I never got why they got such bad rep. Each had their…
the only one i still have to see is her private life, but i absolutely agree with you on not understanding her apparent bad rep? the only one i hated and felt very disappointed by was forecasting love and weather, that one in my honest opinion was awful - not down to any of the actors however, just the story was not it. i've seen complaints that she always does the same role, however i find that absolutely absurd bc to me each role was very different! i love her, i find her very charming and as you say she truly has chemistry with everyone and her acting is wonderful and suits this genre very well. she can balance comedy and drama so well, the romantic scenes and the sad ones too. amazing actress! i'll insta-watch anything she does
just finished watching, am aware some hate the twist in the drama come ep 12 while some just stayed because they…
i do feel like the direction post ep12 will probably be the most divisive for the show, they should have given more focus to the romances. still, it brought the drama and the tension the show promised so i guess the production chose to go for the more thriller feel than romance
Was I the only one who thought she deserved to die when she opened the door after seeing no one on the monitor?
any other time i'd agree but she does say she was expecting sumin and was basically luring her in so she obv had to open the door to get her in so that she could get the filmed confession
She loves him. How hard is that to understand? She’s furious with him, but she can’t help herself from loving…
but to her it is, so that's why she's "trying to make it look like it". to her, she thinks what she's doing IS noble. obv as an outsider we can view it rationally, we can see her flaws, judge her hatred. but like. that IS her character rn. this IS the show we're watching
what a brilliant mind 😂 this guy didn't know she was a woman until he saw what was underneath and the way I…
but like. why would he think it? y'all are like "oh this oh that blah blah" but like. what possible reason would he have to think mongwoo was a woman? why would that have even crossed his mind? he didn't even consider his feelings as romantic until rumors started up, so why would he have thought something else no one had ever wondered?
"he had to remove all the layers" answers everyone's question of "how didn't he know". she literally bound her chest + had like three different layers of thick clothing. how y'all magically expect him to "know" is beyond me.
and lastly, this is a show that set this up as their plotline. they literally establish that even torture didn't reveal her secret. so why expect ANYTHING else to, except when they finally decide to. okay, it may be silly, but that is the show. suspension of disbelief is a thing.
this show gives me the same buzz like bloody heart. i watched and tried other historicals but unfortunately haven't loved any besides bloody heart, the king's affection, and this. though i realized the more comedic ones def aren't the ones for me. can someone rec any more like this?

exactly! what gets me in some of the comments is how many expect revenge to be rational. why should it? when is it? she is lead by her feelings and what you explain, she doesn't need more than that. "she's a hypocrite" - what human being isn't?
at this ep7 we kind of see the limits of the king's planning and knowledge! he does not know mong woo is a woman…
i just presumed she binds her chest and isnt really held that close - when she pushes him away i presumed that, as she was resting and not dressed for the day that she did not bind which is why had he held her close then he would have known.
i think since the show set up that she is not found out during torture, it's definitely believable she's not found out by someone simply holding her somewhat close
