The first and second episodes are promising.

Well, I guess that she's planning to say something like: "I know you didn't kill anyone, but you lied to me all these years. I'll keep your secret but give me a divorce and custody of our child". It's only a guess. (sorry if my English is not perfect)

Lol. I love your comment. They almost never have a reasonable excuse :P

There was this part where she said that she wants to catch the accomplice and then prepere something. I think she plans to confront and get rid ML. We will see.

After Episode 8 I think that Do Hyun Soo has Asperger's Syndrome.
He has trouble with recognizing emotions and sometimes fixates on things. He's not a sociopath. In my opinion he was misdiagnosed.

For example, the story of his parents. I am curious about it.

I like that scene a lot. I even like what Cha Ji Won is wearing in that scene :P

It's so intense. It was great from the beginning and I feel it's getting better and better with every episode.
Yesterday I watched ep 5 raw and I cried at the end, and today I watched the same episode with subs and cried again :P

I also think that there should be a comedy tag. Some scenes (the cops pulling each other's hair) are hillarious.

"Witch's Court" was a pretty good drama, but even there the romantic part was the weakest point.

I fully agree. He caught my attention in "Falling for Innocence" and I was happy to see him as a main male lead in romances, but I didn't really like those dramas. He has both skill and appearance, but hasn't got any luck for a good rom-com script.

I've seen at least six of Lee Joon Gi's dramas, but only now I'm starting to appreciate how
a great actor he is. I've always known he was handsome, but it's just awsome how he portrays his character in this drama.
Also the writer is doing a great job. The story is exciting and plot twists are clever.
I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Writing is so bad.
Yoon Hyun Min is so handsome.

In a Doctor John she looks like young Keira Knigtley .
And she nailed it in a Korean Odyssey.

Violence against a man is also violence and I hate when it is portrayed as something funny.

A few years ago I dropped it after first episode. Now I know it was a mistake!
Unlike most dramas, this one gets better with each episode! The begining is so-so but the ending is amazing.

In my opinion, Yoon Hyun Min is the only reason to watch this show. Plot is not only cliché and totally predictable but also ridiculous. I'd like to see YHM in better drama.

I agree with you. I actually like how ML treats FL so far. He's attracted to her allready but he's also well aware of circumstances and he acts really cerfully. In my opinion it's better than in most dramas, where ML just throw himself at FL. I hope for mature romance.

She's 25

Second lead syndrome is what you are feeling now. Believe me, I know this feeling of unfairness, when female lead couldn’t recognize how amazing your favorite character is. I have experienced this too many times.
You’re probably right that writers left too much space for viewers interpretation. But I do understand why Gae-Ddong decided to marry Soo. She was an orphan and runaway slave. Her status was as low as it could be, and in Joseon social status was everything. If someone wanted to harm her he just could and even law was against her. (At the beginning of the series she was shameless and loud, but how could she even survive alone without being like that? I find her character convincing.)
Soo not only treated her like a human being, but also said that he love her. Of course she was touched. At some point it was mentioned that she was afraid that marrying her might affect Soo’s social status, so she truly cared for him. With him she felt save and grateful, and she probably thought that this is how bride should feel. Notice that she might be unfamiliar with western concept of romantic love.
Moreover she knew that she has to get married. For us it seems ridiculous but Joseon’s people believed that being single is against natural order. They believed that unmarried woman brings misfortune (like drought, seriously). Even village head might be punished for having too many unmarried women in his village. Because of that women were often forced to get married. (Like in “100 Days My Prince”). For Gae-Ddong it was better to marry friend than some strange guy. She was aware that Soo isn’t her real brother (she said something like that) and friendship between man and woman was impossible in Joseon, so I understand why she decided to establish family with him.
And then – boom – she met Ma Hoon and really fell for him.
She tried to believe in Soo, but let’s be honest, it looked like he dumped her and disappeared with someone’s else money. She didn’t know what really have happened. In my eyes, she was basically single. At first she was so surprised by her feelings for Hoon, that she couldn’t even name them as love. She just wanted to be with him.
Her relationship with Ma Hoon reminds me of western concept of forbidden love. Like in story about Tristan and Iseult. King Arthur was a nice guy too, but Guinevere still have fallen for Lancelot ;)
Gae-Ddong has remorse and wants to be fair with Soo. She doesn’t know Ma Hoon’s answer yet, yet she’s trying to tell Soo everything. She believes that Soo is an yangban and she can become yangban wife, but she wants to give up this incredible opportunity because she loves Hoon.
I liked Soo and felt sorry for him until episode 10, when he had decided to meet Gae-Ddong, though he knew that it might put her in danger. (He knew that palace girl died because of him).
Of course it’s only my point of view. You don’t have to like this drama. There are plenty of romantic comedy set in Joseon era to choose from (like “Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung” or “The Tale of Nokdu”).

Well, even after first episode it was obvious, that FL isn't romantically in love with Soo. It was more like brother and sister relationship. He has persuaded her for some time , but she never said that she loves him, not even once. But of course your second lead syndrome is understandable :)
PS. In my opinion you should mark spoiler in your comment. Sorry, for my imperfect english.
