Some of you need to chill with the gaslighting. People only adore the brief interactions Sunny and Lee Hyuk because they were genuinely cute, not because a victim is sucking up to a criminal. If an outsider never had the context of murders and infidelity this drama had painted thus far, it would just look like two people who aren't used to each other trying to warm up. In no way was anyone being bystanders and enablers for toxic relationships and trapping a character to loving a psychopath. Stop your wokeness. It's just a drama. It's on purpose to make the viewers confused and to keep the relationship between Sunny and Lee Hyuk alive and god forbid balancing the darkness of this plotline with something more lighter. How can Sunny bring justice for her reputation and the people she trusts of Lee Hyuk ends up divorcing her? She would be cast away and secretly killed, bam, the end of the drama.

Yeah 9 years of their feelings feels very rushed. I'd prefer it if it lasted 40 years minimum.

I know right?! At one point I thought he hated her cause she got first all the damn time and he's salty about it, but now he claims to like her? Soojeong rejects Seho purely cause she's already loved someone even before he came into the picture and he went all on "You'll regret this" mode. Why he gotta do her dirty like that?

Not necessarily. He could still find Soojeong elsewhere and continue the romance. He happened to have a chance to complete his highshcool education and his first love happened to be there as his teacher, a dream he told her to pursue. The drama does much more than highlight romance in a school setting. It shows the absurdity of the education system, the struggles many Korean students face and Boksu is already doing plenty more than everyone else to break the folkway of competitiveness when it comes to education.

Sunny about to ragequit her stream but Lee Hyuk was like Hello! (◕◡◕✿) LOL

SHHHH JDLKSJLKS

Hey, Jang Nara and Choi Jinhyuk were in a drama together before but he was the second male lead. So it's highly possible for Shin Sungrok and Jang Nara to be together again. :^)

I don't think he planned for Yura to show up at the palace, but it's not like he's surprised she's alive as he never planned to kill her either. Nobody is even supposed to know he took her away to kill her or torture her. Princess Soojin and Kanghee only knew that the "Emperor has dumped Min Yura" and that was it. Whatever Wangsik/Woobin is planning, he might have discussed it with Lee Hyuk before doing anything. Possibly a truth, or a half truth with underlying secrets. Lee Hyuk trusts him after all.

I think both are possible suspects because their family will take the fall for what the grandmother was going to do reveal, and she wouldn't care because she's more like a righteous hero for exposing such crimes despite being in a family with a lot of power to cover it up. Even if the grandmother died from poisoning (that is suspected to be the Queen Dowager's doing), I think Lee Hyuk (if he was the one who stabbed the grandmother) would still be punished as he had the intent to kill. I don't think one would get away from any punishments if they ended up hurting a dead body. It's also possible queen dowager could have manipulated it again like what happened to the death of Empress Sohyun. I think the stabbing evidence is such a plot hole since they said Sunny fed the Grand Queen Dowager kimbap laced with poison but not stab her. Perhaps it's just the imperial family covering it up and only framing Sunny for her death.

Yeah, it's actually so cute. ;; If you removed the murders, the manipulation and two-facedness in the drama, you'd have a romcom of a bubbly happy-go-lucky girl trying to melt the cold heart of a serious emperor who always has to be perfect 24/7. Actually, I feel like Lee Hyuk may take a liking to Sunny but he'll also conclude that what he has done to her is far too late for any budding romance between them.

It's a little weird to ask for action stuff without the violence though.

Woah, suddenly the drama took a dark turn (which I have no problem with. hue). I could imagine the game being abandoned in the end because of it being unethical, just like what happened in Sword Art Online. I hope they can explain what happened though, at least SAO had the Nervegear which was the reason why people ****.

He looks unfamilar to me too but on my case, I haven't seen him since While You're Sleeping. I like to think they purposely softened his look and it seems his features are not defined like makeup could have done.

People should always expect the first few episodes to be weird, rushed or a mess. That's because they tried to lay out everything as soon as possible. I admit some of the comedy scenes and bits were a bit cringy but I'm more interested in the alternate reality this drama will portray with constitutional monarchy. It's a perfect blend of modern and historical dramas; some fashion trends are vintage, there's still some western influences. I wish the public treated the Emperor more of a political head rather than a kpop star. Though it's more easier on the ears/eyes than watching a historical drama with too much modern influences/dialogue.

I'm a type of person who watches things and see through the end. I get curious about what happens, even if the ending or certain points in the plot are terrible. Of course we know Na Wangshik becomes hot. So, when and how does he have a turning point that makes him want to better himself physically? How did he survive after Episode 4? Who helped him, or if he helped himself? What becomes of Min Yura when the Emperor is betrothed? Will Sunny ever see through the Emperor? How will Wangshik and Sunny meet? How much of s*** Sunny will be entangled with when she realizes of the Emperor's crimes? Will there be more character deaths? Plot twists?

I'm more curious about Na Wangshik and Min Yura's relationship. If Wangshik finds his way into the palace and meets his wife, how will they interact? Will Yura be swayed by her husband's brand new looks? Or will she stick out with her potential future with the Emperor? What about their child? Would she regret it all? Would she try to steal him from Sunny who may eventually be intertwined with him too?

I went ahead and read the spoilers.
I find it boring that many people always expect leading male and leading female to always end together. It's exciting if the end result is not expected or not the usual. I really hope the drama can follow the webtoon.

Not in a bad way, doofus. lol.
I just found it interesting that it's highlighting around Incheon Airport like a product placement. Even if it is, the story glosses over that "fact" and gives a spotlight to people who work in airport roles that we never even think too much of. Like dramas who include more roles of those working in the Korean army.

I feel like I'm watching a long-ass commercial about the Incheon Airport. lmfaooo

I was a big fan of season 1 but I don't know why I held off on watching season 2. They really raised the bar with this season!

I don't care what others say, it was very impactful and intense for me. It kept me on edge all the time that at some parts I had to grab onto a pillow and brace for the action. I think Kwon Yul is an exceptional actor. I've only seen him in this and Bring It On Ghost but I think he does a hell of a good job on being a villain. I feel very scared of him, for real. And I don't think you need to be devilishly handsomely exotic and cold with facial hair to be a considered a "good" of an antagonist. I like to think of his role as a regular human being you know in our life who is secretly a psychopath. They will be friendly and mimick emotions (especially empathy) to get close to you.

1 in 25 people are psychopaths. Try not to piss them off. Watch out.

Can't wait til season 3. 6v6

I just noticed that the Korean title of this drama is made up with the names of the leading characters. \o/

Kyungsoo is actually pretty manly. It's weird when his fans make him a submissive when it comes to their gay fetishing ship hobbies .
