Yeah, he also wants to use his little sister to gain power which is why he keeps asking her if she likes the palace.

Deok Ro doesn’t want Deok Im to be close to San since that would mean that Deok Im would know San’s secrets. Deok Ro only “cares” about San since San is the future king and that could mean Deok Ro getting power. So basically Deok Ro is power hungry.

Yeah, if there was a “happy ending” it would feel weird since this drama is based on real historical figures. I hope the last scene is the afterlife.

I wish there were at least 20 episodes instead of 17 since San would only get a few episodes being king compared to 10/11 episodes of him as crown prince.

From the preview of episode 11, it’s confusing why Deok Im is showing her tattoo. Punishment tattoos for traitors were already banned by Young Jo in 1740 (before Deok Im was born in 1753), so I wonder why she has a tattoo? Is it a Yonbi tattoo?

Yeah, we need more SanDeok scenes

They felt like supporting characters…

Same. From watching the preview, something new will be Deok Im potentially talking about her tattoo (since she is half dressed in one scene).

Wow that’s terrible. Can’t wait for his downfall in the drama.

This better not be the whole plot for episode 11:

- San gets punished
- Deok Im tries to save him

I feel bad for his sister who’s just a pawn to him. I bet he’s going to appreciate her after she dies unable to fit in court.

Yeah, I’m tired of seeing San as Crown prince after watching episode 10. Hopefully, ep 11 has major plot progress.

Also hoping for more SanDeok screen time in episode 11.

With episode 10 being a bit boring, I guess it’s to set up for the potential big events in episode 11. When will San become king…

I wonder what the last scene with Deok Im and Lady Hye Gyung is. With Deok Im’s clothes half undressed. Does it have to do with her tattoo?

Episode 10 was just depressing although we got the library scene and forehead kiss. Wow for the first time the episode didn’t end with SanDeok.

Omg a forehead kiss 🥺

I think the childhood trope was added to this drama since in reality Deok Im and San did actually know each other as kids.
