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
they don't say it bluntly so i will: mhok's lying was rooted in ableism. and that was what day couldn't forgive,…
but that's just an assumption and imo in canon they have mhok literally admit and say he thought day couldn't live without his help (ie a blind person needing the help of him as a seeing person specifically) so it was bc of his blindness and the even ifs are irrelevant bc they didn't happen
and to add: the mistake of not telling him is bc he knew how day would take his decision bc he knew he was doing it for reasons that would anger him. a person confident in his choice or making a choice for the right reasons wouldn't be ashamed to say the truth
I actually liked the last episode (especially P'Aof's cameo haha). And this was by no means a short episode but…
you can kinda tell night looked at his phone after getting out of the car before asking day to go in, you see him putting his phone away. but i think bc of the shock value they kind of ended up writing themselves some slight holes in the plot
imo they should have just had him be blind, getting back his sight was completely unnecessary both plot and character-wise especially after one failed cornea transplant already. he did not need his sight for a happy ending. felt like the writer had some ableist connotations while trying to tie everything nicely in a bow - which is ironic seeing as this is one of the rare shows to do a quality job with disability rep. a rare critique for the show
Great series, great story and acting! 💞Loved how they managed to tackle difficult topics in a positive and…
this was my critique for the episode too! i don't live with a disability, but the trope of disabled characters needing to be "fixed" in their happy ending is so tiring to me atp
