It's bad but I like historicals so I watch it

+ Absolutely loved the FL's solution to the one nyang she got. She listened to the people. It was so far the most touching scene in the show.

- Do not like JSY's eyerolling. It's like she doesn't know what to do with her face. It doesn't suit a medieval noblewoman.
- The king's rudeness toward the eunuch was unnecessary and badly scripted..
- What did JSY get for the deal with the mean girl?

Ep 5

I assume she’s hardworking, remembers her lines, she’s very beautiful and her show ratings arent that bad.

The amnesia lasts for like one episode, but the child connection I agree

I went on viki it said next ep is in 6 days. It’s still not up.

Why can’t just korean channels plan in advance? Why say at last minute a show wont air this week?

I believe episode 5 will not air tonight.

She’s awful but I like the genre so we’ll see if I drop this like gp

No I also mentioned how you could be tortured or executed for having foreign products. I should’ve made a list of all NK does wrong I guess

Had you read you’d know my problem isn’t her strength, it’s that first of all she’s a spy. Wal could’ve taught her to throw a punch and embarrassing situations like breaking into Kim’s house and failing wouldnMt happen.

Doesn't this writer usually do happy endings?

Perhaps, when the ML resolves his brother's death, it'll cause him to lose faith in his government and leave with the FL.

Did I imply I was only talking about poverty? Or that other countries were flawless? Like you said, all North Koreans, are subjected to harsh treatment of their government.

Episode 3 changed my mind a little bit. I thought this would be a cupcake show, but it knows how to be serious, and the main mystery is intriguing.

Looking forward to Jeon Gook Hwan's entrance!! He's always great

I wanted the lead to want to become the queen. I don’t mind her getting help, but it’s not her own plan. It’s the plot of two politicians. She's just a pawn.

Besides I don’t get why she didn’t learn fighting. Information is dangerous work and she should be like Oknyeo.. I hope she wont get saved again. I understand sometimes one is in a dangerous situation, but she is saved by the same person when she's doing work she should be trained in.

I’m not feeling the girlpower :(

I felt bad watching the villagers. I couldn’t sit in my safe rich country laughing knowing the reality. But you’re right they’re not being made fun of and I get why the writers couldn’t portray real NK. I wouldn’t write this but I will continue watching and I don’t fault anyone.

Comparing a fascist tyranny to whichever country I might be from is wrong however.

She’s playing someone who’s supposed to be annoying, I think she will mature.

The drama is fun but it feels gross to set a romcom in north korea. People starve there, and anyone that watches foreign tv shows or buy a foreign rice cooker risk death.

I wish more emphasis would be put on EK. She should be a mirror to EB, instead she's the boring good girl while EB is lawbreaking and daring. I love that she is all that but the opposite is okay too

Why do all joseon drama women have to be feisty? It's an annoying trope just like modern drama women all have to be ditzy

What year is this? It has to be after 1895, but Japan and the west isn’t there. This should be in Joseon gunman’s period.

In episode 2, the king and dowager is sitting opposite compared to other dramas.

The highest rank should be facing the door, sitting closest to the wall. So if the QD is in the king’s room, he should get up and let her take his seat.
