Not yet. We don't have an ending at this time. So far it's been both happy & sad—what we call bittersweet.

If we weren't supposed to presume him to be a villain, he wouldn't be sporting that goatee! Shave it off, and he could be a gentle grandpa.

The pinstriped mini-suit in ep 4 looked pretty sharp. And the yellow sweater-shirt in ep 2 was, ahem, eye-catching!

Shoutout to Jung Yong Geom for his cameo in ep 4 as one of the baseball sportscasters. He is becoming quite the minor celebrity!

Whoever (Jin Mu) cut the brakes and hacked the accelerator must have also disabled the air bags.

So far, eps 1, 3, & 4 have epilogues. But not ep 2. Folks were assuming only the odd episodes would get them but now we have to sit through the end credits for every episode if we don't want to risk missing something important. Sneaky!

Wouldn't that car have a manual transmission? I expected her to pop the clutch and take it out of gear. Also, cutting the brakes is one thing, hacking the accelerator is another. Was the car remote controlled?

Well Jin Mu (or whoever sabotaged the sports car) inadvertently taught him a lesson. "Do what you want and you may die in a fiery crash!" That poor kid will never get to play, have any fun, or make a wish ever again!

Did we ever actually see the prince eat Subway? I assumed he had, but his hunger fast at the ballpark and the sashimi restaurant imply that fast food would also be a no-no. But that wouldn't make for a compelling product placement, so of course the production glossed over it.

Also, where is Jin Mu getting the corn dogs? Are they vetted? Does the Crown Prince have an official food taster?

Six days (unless you prefer to wait and watch both episodes together!)

There was also mention of a WTOD in the backstory- the ML's mother was killed by a WTOD while he survived.

He told the priest that he would respect her wishes and not interfere. But I'm not sure he can live up to this promise. He may have to bang his head against the wall a few (or many) times.

He was friend-zoned back when they were schoolmates. He should know you can't escape the friend zone!

He has learned restraint.

Not to mention their great many notorious scandals. Just off the top of my head I can recall Princess Diana's divorce, affair, & subsequent death (murder?) King Chucks affair with now-queen Camilla, their phone scandal, the King's lifelong friendship with imprisoned serial pedo Jimmy Saville, the naked boy who died trying to escape Buckingham Palace (via a rope made of bedsheets out a top window), the King recently refusing his duty to give the traditional Easter blessing this year, The Princess of Wales wearing a burkha, … … …

Talk about the stuff of makjang!

Now that's a love triangle I can get behind! 🤣😂 ✋🏼

I share your disappointment with IU's performance in HdL, but entirely disagree here. IU owns this role. Her performance is nuanced, with layers upon layers overlapping her true self, which she has had to cover and protect her whole life. IMO IU's acting has greatly improved, and her micro-expressions have been spot-on.

It's worth noting that her dear friend Jeongwoo never even occurred to FL as a candidate for husband despite their closeness and him checking all the boxes during her desperate search for a perfect mate in ep 1.

The White Truck of Doom is the requisite "cargo truck at high speed" which crashes into a significant character, seen in a great number of K-Dramas.

It's crazy how often this trope is actually used! It has become so common as to spawn the WTOD acronym. The more makjang the drama, the more likely an appearance.
