The whole episode 8 is built on the homoeroticism of the situation that the King is totally absorbed with his baduk player. The palace gossip is on high alert and his political retinue is pulling out all the stops to get this pesky little thorn in their side removed from taking up the King's time. Now the Queen Dowager has set a date for him to bed Court Lady Dong (I can still picture her licking the diseased finger of the late king, barf). Thankfully, Coitus interuptus with Lady Dong when Mong-woo disappears in a drunken stupor. He finds her, but that's not the end of the surprise. It's written all over his face that her final wish before death is also his dream come true. What bliss!

In episode 7 it's clear that even though she is plotting revenge and enlisting others to join her, she seems to waver in her focus. Her support for the little prince in his endeavor to have a relationship with the king is lovely to watch. The King keeps pulling out all the stops to support, rescue and keep her by his side. Could it be that the couple that drizzles together, sizzles together?

I'm enjoying the drama after a few episodes in and like the lead's forceful personality and cunning. They should have spent a little time binding her bountiful assests because it is hard to buy into the cross-gender thing.

The story is getting laid bare between the main protagonists. Father-in-law is getting outed and responds by trying to 'kill off' his son again insisting his window to do a three-year stint at his 'grave'. Lady Oh is choking on her pride insisting she does not have a lowly brother. The lowly brother is stealing rice out of the mouth's of the poor. I hope the FL can end up with both her brother and Su Ho as she's earned it from all her good deeds.

This drama had a frenzied start with the judge showing off his incredible memory and powers of observation. It foreshadowed the fact that justice will not always be served when it comes to the letter of the law. He's going to see the disconnect between revealing the truth and justice served. The second episode gave us more insight into the nature of his mind. His circle of support that has helped him to survive became more evident. And then there is a plunge into the nature of a great power struggle inside and an even larger mystery. As Dee comes closer to the greater truth more of his own personal history becomes evident. You feel the deeper emotional bond between that circle of his supporters. The tension is that the rational mind can deduce the facts but metaphysical explanations are more comforting or more soothing to the general populace.

Except somebody would have to look after him to keep his sorry ass alive.

Looks like we have to wait to see if there is a second season now that Jin Man is back. I would like to see everyone of the good 'guys' to have a hand in it. Since he's only got one eye left maybe he could also loose an arm and a leg and his balls. Then we get to watch him hop around for a while before losing his head.

This episode kind of fizzled out for me during the fight scenes. I hated that long soliloqu ygiven to the bad guy because villains always take up too much space. Glad some 'good' guys survived so I guess there will be another season because there is still Bale and Babylon in the mix.

Bloody Hell. The violence in this backstory never stops and brings us to the present. Just what kind of death for Bale would satisfy my need for revenge. I'm going to watch episode 8 now. Wish me good luck.

It's episode five and this is slower than molasses but they are still constantly filling their pie hole with every dish under the sun. Oh wait, there isn't any as it's always snowing. He's too busy to stick around except now that he's wearing the hoody that's supposed to make him irresistable, it might get steamy in the laudry room We can only hope.

After four episodes they seem to be on a slow burn as opposed to hot pot. Where is his endless money coming from? Her older 'brother' sounds menacing.

Thanks, have watched some of your recommends. Lately have enjoyed A Journey to Love, My Journey to You, Mysterious Lotus Casebook. Waiting for Judge Dee's Mysteries. These days am mostly into Kdramas and was absolutely blown away by My Dearest. Right now watching Knight Flower, Captivating the King and for action A Shop for Killers and Death's Game.

They could have done this in 10 episodes if they had cut out the endlessly repeated scenes. Even with them, the drama was confusing.The characters are all good-looking likable people so it wasn't a total loss even though Seo Ha's parents/uncle story was incomprehensible to me. Watched this because I'm a Shin Hye Sun fan but it was Seo Ha who tugged at my heartstring. The only thing that bugged me were his too long bangs. I also didn't like much of Ji Eum's wardrobe and especially not her look in the historical first life.

Revelations are happening all over the place. The evil characters are at each others' throats which is always great to see. The effect of the son's sudden appearance is still an unknows quantity where his 'widow' and parents are concerned. Our lovable Park SuHo is rescued by our brave masked marvel and he confesses about his past. She keeps digging for clues.

Hearts are fluttering. Secrets are dangerous but even more dangerous if revealed. There's a new guy added to the equation so how will he fit in?

That was some game in episode two. Pretty much unbelievable. Not much else besides walking in the snow, eating, not eating. Getting acquainted on the subway. It's only worthwhile because we get to look at Wu Lei.

Just started this and while I can never get enough Wu Lei in anything this is totally frustrating. The little brother has more of a crush on him than the sister and everyone is spending most of the episode on their phones texting. Is this considerd acting now?

I was going to give this a chance as I'm between episodes on other dramas, but it's (insert four letter word here).

Another cross-dressing drama ,the least they should do is bind the chest tighter so 'his' doesn't bounce while running.

Here's the backstory. The introduction to Bale was repetative and too violent. He obviously has an axe to grind and we are watching the present-day fallout. I expect 'uncle's' death was staged and there is more to come in their duel. I'm sticking with this to see how Bale, his clone and the twins get their just deserves.
