That rumour of her seeing the dead girl was started by the defence minister so that the eldest maiden don't get any good alliance and he can make her his concubine when she turns 24. Was it ever mentioned that the eldest knew the girl who died?

I don't think kdramas cast actresses based on their height and most kactresses are short. Also tall guy- short girl pairing is very popular. A lot of people find height difference between couples really cute.

That guy is ber childhood friend? Seems to be from a poor family but don't know if he is from lower caste or not. Seeing how evil her parents are I hope there is no tragedy waiting for her.

Not a fan of rowoon at all and since you read all my comments you might have also seen me criticising his acting in the first two episodes. I didn't force this drama on anyone. The op said all sanguks have political bg and it was a common conversation on rom com sangeuks and not this drama particularly.

I think concubines are from noble families whereas mistresses are from lower class. In this episode it was shown that the defense minister takes the daughters of poor farmers who couldn't pay him back and he has a lot of mistresses and his wife complained to the mother in law.

Sanguks are set against monarchy and not democracy. It's a kdrama and as a rom com it has to be visually pleasing. Only upper caste could wear pretty and colourful clothes during that time. Also the lower caste were dirty poor and they cannot have a rom com with that setting. As you can see there is a very strict cast based laws during that time. The rich guy poor girl or viseversa were not possible. The leads are always from the upper caste and that's the only way they can end up being married. Else the fl can only end up being a mistress to the ml.

The fl sees everything with a rose tinted glass. So I won't be surprised if her husband wasn't a good person and bok hee is his child.

I find his character really interesting. He is very smart but also cowardly at times and is a menace to others. He is funny most of the times.

It's a sanguk and there will always be politics involved as the characters are always from aristocratic families and is connected to the royal family.

You are not alone. I am still trying to figure out this whole negative review within 2 episodes. If there are people who enjoys strong girl namsoon this is like 10times better. This is a simple rom com sanguk with smart leads and not so bad acting. Not a masterpiece but I don't see anything in it to nitpick on.

I guess it will make sense if his father was in the opposite side as him being an officer will make the opposition party stronger. Seems like his father died in between those 8yrs. But before the king called him to help get the ladies married he was on the left side helping the villains. It was his idea to spread the rumours about old maiden ghosts.
It will be too farfetched for the villains to find a way to lock up a newly joined civil servent thinking he will be a thread in the far future.

I missed the ml raiding the donkey in last episode 😂. It's a hilarious site

The guy for the first old maiden seems to be still a mystery. We might get to see who he is in the next episode I guess.

Who is the guy the sister in law went to meet? He seems to be poor but is he from a lower cast? That house looked pretty big for a lower cast but is not maintained well and he works on the field.

Both the ml and fl as of now are smart. The ml is book smart and the fl is street smart. Together they match well. Seems like rowoon is settling down with the character as he wasnt going overboard in the last two episodes. His comic timing is pretty good.

I think concubines are only for the king and crown prince. The minister's other women are called mistresses.

It was hilarious how the ml tricked the defense minister 🤣. When the father in law asked the defense minister why he didn't double check what the ml wrote he said it was too long 🤣. Defense minister is funny and dumb.

The things I understood from this episode.

1. The kid is definitely not the fl's. Fl saved her friend with her brother 8yrs ago while the friend was pregnant with bok hee. She has braided hair so she was unmarried at that time. The kid who called her mom is 12yrs old.

2. The friend was either pregnant with the fl's husband's child or definitely knew how the princess died. She had updo hair. So she was married at that time. So i guess there are chances it's her husband who is searching for her.

3. I guess the rumours of the mil killing the eldest dil is true. The fl thinks her mil is not a bad person but she is extremely cunning and is plotting with her husband to kill the crown prince. It looks like she is smarter than her husband but her husband thinks he is smarter than her. 😂 I first thought the friend might be the eldest dil but then the mil already saw her and she was only afraid of being spoted by the fil.

I guess that's the only mystery part I got from ep 4.

Yes. It's like they have way too many storylines but none of them have any connection and it's overall a mess. It's like there is no head or tail to the story.

Might be but since they revealed it in the first 2 episodes itself there might be more.
