Why Mong woo is crying? So annoying. One minute you want the king dead because you heard him talking to his uncle (believing the words despite claming that she can read the king like an open book) the next minute she doesn`t want him dead. Make up your mind!
If she won`t appear on screen the next episodes it will be better. I won`t miss her at all.

Exactly. I needed the laugh. Thanks.

Maybe you should watch this tomorrow.

Yeah... Thanks for the laugh. Another stupid man who wants to kill the king because his lover was arrested and tortured/killed by the enemy of Lee Yi. The logic!!!!!

The production company said it is a different project.

I hope so too. I wish the queen and the king will adopt the young prince. I like how happy she is when the king`s nephew appears.

The second male lead, Kim Myung-Ha, doesn`t have much to do in this drama. Just an observation.

The substitution plan was ridiculous but now I have the feeling it was made only for Mong Woo to be caught and punished so that Lady Kang to appear after that. I don`t know how this situation will help the Princess too but if the purpose was to make Mong woo left the scene I will accept it. Too many forces against the baduk player so I don`t see how Mong Woo will continue to be around the king.
Let see if it was a plan of both the king and Hee Soo.

Yes he has a queen and she is a gentle lady. She doesn`t look very healthy and I wonder if she will die. I hope not.

I think it is the script.

It has to be another move in this stupid plan but I can`t see it what it would be. The maid who told Principal Director about her suspicions was not the same maid who was paid by Hee Soo`s people to help them? I was surprised when she did not help. Maybe that was one step of Hee soo`s plan? For Principal Director to find the switch? Too many variables to succeed and I still don`t find a reason it it. How could this plan can help Princess Jangryeong to not marry the Qing prince? This plan put many people in danger. Maybe it is time for Mong Woo to 'die' and later appear as Lady Kang but what about the other people involved?

I totally agree.

I agree . I think it is time for Mong Woo to die. I saw the maid agreeing with the plan but later we saw the same made spills the beans about the plan. I did not understand that. But I think you are right. It has to be another move in this plan.
It was a stupid plan and I still don`t understand why she agree with it. Perhaps she wanted Principal Director to stop the plan because she knows it won`t work anyway. But I don`t know why she can gain with that move.
The pincess can still avoid the marrige ? I don`t know.

I think it is time for Hee Soo to appear on stage.

It is not great to be the king so I don`t mind if he will abdicate. But there are other people who don`t want to lose power. If that is the scenario, I think the queen will die. She is fragile and she doesn`t look to be in good health.

I agree. They put the female lead in a corner. Perhaps the writer can change things for the better for her but I am not optimistic.

It is better then continuing to see the female lead just as the baduk player. Of course people from the court will recognize her but what they can do if Mong woo is officiallly dead and has the king support?
I think if they continue with Mong woo or they will make Hee Soo appear is still a weak plot.
I watched so far just for Jo Jung seok`s performance and to see some romance but I can`t stand the plot anymore.

Her role is not written well. I don`t like his stupid plan of revenge at all. Hee soo is stuck to Wong woo`s clothes and contemplative performance. That`s why every other female character looks better compared to her. It is about time for the daughter of Kang Hang-Soon to appear in the court. But I don`ty know if it will be any better.

I wanted for the king to find out that Mong Woo was a girl. I even liked the scene when he found out but episode 10 killed my excitement for this couple. I always thought this revenge plot was week but I tolerated because I was interested in the main couple romance. Not anymore.

Enough of the stupid plan against the king. I want Mong Woo dead. It won`t happen but if the king will forgive her again and again it will hurt the plot also.
I was never on board with Hee Soo `s plan. I know that she felt betrayed but knowing the situation on the court I expected for her to understand a little more about Lee In`s situation. Of course I understand her being heartbroken but the whole revenge plot is dumb. I can`t get behind it. And that is a huge part of the drama plot and it is so weak in my opinion. And the fact that she is inlove with him but still wants to plot against the king doesn`t make any sense to me. And she is just a girl and I have to believe that she can plot a whole plan with just a few people. I don`t feel the whole situation. Her maid, Jageunnyeon, has more common sense than Soo hee. I have to feel sorry for her that she is caught between her heart and her reason but I am not feeling it.

Without anyone on the court helping them, Hee Soo made the plan almost succeed.. Please.....Let say that the maid Boon-Young would have managed to arrived at Qing court. The people from the princess's entourage they will know that she is not the princess. The maid is not educated enough to pass as a princess. What will happen with the real princess? She will hide forever? The king was put in a very difficult situation with the stronger Qing. I am sure there are spies at Joseon court too and they could not hide it forever. It is an affront aganst Qing and the king and Joseon people would have paid the price. It would have been better to refuse the wedding than this maskarade.

Something has to change because I can`t stand seeing Mong woo/ Hee Soo plotting anymore. It is dumb. Perhaps Soo hee`s father will return to Joseon and the plot will take different turns. Perhaps she will want to stop the revenge but she can`t change the mind of the other people she involved. I will watch the next episodes but I am not optimistic.

Soon Jung called for towing services. Their car was pulled by a tow truck.

I get that Dae Jang Geum is a historical figure and they want to tell a new story about her but signing Lee Young Ae knowing well that people still remember her previous role was intentional, to catch the fame of previous drama. Why they didn`t ask the writer Kim Young Hyun if she wants to continue the story or chose another actress to make a new story of Dae Jang Geum?
I will keep an eye on this drama and hope the story will be good as well.
