Captivating the King Episode 4
0 people found this review helpful
I had to research the word Manghyeongjiu (망형지우, 忘形之友) referenced at 16:30: a Korean idiom (based on Sino-Korean roots) that refers to a close friendship where the individuals have forgotten their outward appearances, social statuses, or formal etiquette. ~~Literary Breakdown (Chinese/Hanja):忘 (망): To forget形 (형): Form, shape, or appearance (external, physical)之 (지): Particle connecting words (often "of" or 's)友 (우): Friend~~Context: It describes a "soulmate" or a best friend with whom you are perfectly comfortable and share mutual understanding without having to put on a show or act formal.

Loving the chemistry between leads at the moment. It's refreshing to see the ML Danny moving in and helping as a way to stay instead of what seems to be the typical self-centered manipulation that tends to happen in other dramas. He even disclosed why he needs to stay there and seems to be open about communicating what he's feeling instead of doing the typical stone-wall or redirect that many MLs tend to do.I wish we saw more of the house - is Danny staying in the main bedroom or hers? Where is Woo Joo's nursery? Also, what a terrible contractor that didn't repair the plumbing flood during the "window of opportunity." He should have fixed it even though he couldn't get a hold of Danny. The contractor ended up costing significantly more in repairs. And why was the water to that unit left on at all? Why do they need to tear the floor out to put in a recessed outlet? But okay, I'll let it go for the plot progression. ^^
