Because he basically is. He's a product, always has been. It's pretty simple at this point: whoever has the money, gets the prize. It's incredibly sad, but that's the reality of it.

Yeah, I'm not gonna deny the FL is very flawed, but can we point the blame where it actually belongs? Everything went to shit here because Jang Hyun-Chul couldn't play fair. His actions basically screwed over everybody this episode.

Episode 9 was like "let's have every bad thing you can think off happen, and then make it even worse". This episode stressed me out like crazy, and it doesn't seem like next episode is gonna be any different. I just want everyone to be happy at this point.

And who's to say that drama is historically correct? That drama has one interpretation of that person, while this drama has another.

Furthermore, this also isn't even a story about the king to begin with, but a story about the queen, and her experiences.

Honestly really hoping Chae Ryeong ends up massively screwing over the king somehow. He's the one that got her into this mess in the first place (by raping her, mind you), so this would honestly be really satisfying.

The TVING version should start with the TVING logo followed by the tvN logo. Otherwise, in the first 10 minutes, there's a bit of a steamy scene between the king and queen. The tvN version often cuts away to the woman outside the room while the TVING version doesn't (TVING version also has slight nudity there). You should easily spot which version you're watching with that scene alone.

The Viki version should be the tvN version though.

The tvN version is aired on Monday & Tuesday. The 19+ TVING version seems to drop both episodes on Monday (which I assume will continue).

Well, sure, but that hasn't happened yet.

But, well, he also kinda totally raped Chae Ryeong, so I'd say that counts as a crime.

No, they're not connected at all (other than that they technically follow the same historical figures I guess). I didn't watch it either.

Honestly, if cheating was his only crime, he'd be a saint.

Not that big actually (at least based on episode 1, as the tvN version for 2 isn't out yet). The TVING version has some slight nudity (and graphic violence in one shot), and generally just shows more of specific scenes while the tvN version would cut away (or use alternate shots in specific cases). Only a small amount of scenes are affected though, most of it is the same.

While you get the general gist with the tvN version, I think you lose some of the impact (or meaning) that the affected scenes are supposed to have (as those scenes are actually part of the plot).

Watched the first 2 episodes. Yeah, this is gonna be a hard watch, not because it ain't good, but because it's very dark, although that's exactly what makes it work. Anyway: screw the king. He may or may not be a good king, but he's an absolutely horrible person. Totally on the Queen's side, and I think the writing is too, but I'm not sure if history was.

Side note: I prefer the TVING version over the tvN version. I think it gets the point across better in specific scenes, so I'd recommend that, unless you're really bothered by the slight nudity. It's not an easy watch either way though, so if you're easily triggered by certain things, I'd steer clear.

Those last few minutes of episode 4... Talk about ending 2024 on a high note.

As far as severance packages go, this is a pretty attractive one, not gonna lie.

Just a big character from Moving that had a cameo. The main character of Kang Full's Timing webtoon also makes a cameo appearance (this character was technically in Moving too, but we never saw his face there). But don't worry about it if you haven't seen Moving yet. It's more so establishing both shows take place in the same universe, and some potential trades for future stuff. It doesn't really affect the main plot of either Moving or Light Shop.

So the show just created a cliffhanger and then magically resolved it off-screen? So, this is either the laziest writing imaginable, or he merely thinks he resolved the case.

I mean, we know basically nothing about the ghost, or about why she's doing what she's doing. It's kind of a random plot that's never properly explained. Like, that storyline literally ended with the ghost saying "I have a secret". That screams "cliffhanger". Unless they just magically resolved that cliffhanger off-screen?

I mean, her ending before the "pending case" part of the episode felt like it was a good ending for her. It was open & uncertain, but it had perhaps a glimmer of hope, and it felt like a fitting ending.

But then in the "pending case" part of the episode the ghost suddenly shows up, turning her original ending into something that feels like a cliffhanger instead. It's weird, because I don't see a reason why that ghost had to be there. It just feels like a weird ending honestly.

All right, but what about Hyun Ju's ending? Am I the only one who felt like that ending felt deliberately open too? The Moving connections are obvious, but is Hyun Ju's ending also meant to be a set-up for something else?

I'd say it matters. I don't need them to literally say the word, because that wouldn't make sense either, but you need to give the audiences something beyond an incredibly vague line. With a side character, you could get away with it, but he's being presented as an important main character, so this is kinda crucial information to flesh out his character. Heck, even Gudeok seemed to know with how quick she was to make the connection to sexual minorities, which seems to imply that we should've figured it out either, even though the show gave us nothing to go on.
