defensive was the wrong word to use, i didnt mean it like an attack, sorry about that. i meant it more that you don't have to explain or provide context on the drama's behalf, because it's normal for some of the viewers to have certain opinions of the drama if the writing of the final episode wasn't that great. i now see you were trying to be helpful, but my first impression was that you were saying that the people complaining were "confused" about the ending when they shouldn't be because there were enough clues to derive an explanation from. but you've already replied that you were also upset about certain aspects of the ending, so I interpreted your reply wrong.

yeah, i don't mind, just thought the line was a funny attempt at getting away with including a solid explanation. i think there are enough clues to theorize anyways

okay I apologize for that, I appreciate you replying with extra context, because if I hadn't seen the tweet already, it would've been helpful. you don't have to apologize for replying to my comment, mdl is a platform to have these kinds of discourses so I didn't mind it at all.

sorry, i didn't mean it like you were attacking me, but just saying you don't have to overexplain on behalf of the drama because it really isn't that serious in the end. my original comment was just making fun of the silly line they wrote for yiyeong to say.

but overall, if people are not fulfilled with the ending, i think they should be allowed to complain, because we aren't responsible to hunt down the novel epilogue to satiate our questions. like i said, i don't mind this kind of ending where we theorize for ourselves using the clues they've given, but its natural for some people to be upset.

ive already seen this tweet, it still leaves many questions unanswered. from my understanding the novel also doesn't fully explain how he travels to the present so the drama chose to do the same thing. i don't mind that they didn't show how he traveled to the present, it was kind of expected anyways, but i thought that line was funny "how did he get here? thats not important." lmaooo

i was laughing so hard at that scene lol, it's not even like it's a nostalgic taste, she just introduced the old lady to a treat that had more sugar than shes probably consumed in her whole life LMAO

in the history that this drama is based off of, the king allegedly had her killed over a very small incident where she scratched his face because he was giving more attention to his other concubines and she was jealous. he got angry and had her executed, and i guess the concubines as well as court officials encouraged the king to do so, saying she was "violent" and not fit to be the queen, making them complicit as well.

her son had no idea that his father killed his mother because he was only a child when it happened, and he was told she died from illness or some other natural cause. it was only shortly after he became king (after his father passed from illness), that he found out she was actually killed by his father. after that he began to investigate the true reason for his mother's passing

i wish jiyoung went and tried researching the fate of her friends who she left behind.. i still think gilgeum is meant to be janggeum, the famous royal physician. i propose a spin off drama where gilgeum is the lead and we see her journey after jiyoung travels back, no fantasy needed, just pure historical comedy romance adventure

"how he got here? thats not important." just say the screenwriter couldnt think of a proper method lol (my theory was he traveled using the ripped page)

also was the actual sword gash still on her back? were the doctors not confused how she got it?

anyone who has read the webtoon can you confirm, is gilgeums character based on dae jang geum, the famous royal physician who served yeonsanguns half brother once he took the throne? my theory is that yiheon will travel to the present to search for jiyeong, letting his half brother take the throne. gilgeum will be promoted from her royal kitchen position to become a royal physician because her amazing nose and cutting skills will make her a great and precise medic (just as dae janggeum was promoted from her cooking position to royal physician). i think gonggil will perish trying to assassinate consort kang, and gilgeum will end up with maeng chef

bro what the heck the boy was just having a seizure the whole time she was cooking??? 😭😭at least they didn’t add the cgi effects when he tasted the dish this time

yess! sounds really interesting. i had the opportunity to watch this in theaters near me back in june, but there was rainstorm that day and i ended up not going, I really regret it now haha

hey frienddd! im really enjoying this, i started mainly because i really love jeon seongwoo. so sorry if this comment spoiled anything for you, i'll mark with spoiler 😭😭

jaepil only likes jeonghui because she reminds him of himself, he isn't attracted to her, but the idea of having a reflection of himself by his side, to make his own pains easier

i think jeonghui was involved in the d*ath of her father and yeongsik will help her with the legal situation of it all, and maybe they end up together as a result. not saying this as a biased jeon seongwoo fan lol, but i think yeongsik is the perfect balance to jeonghui, he's level headed while she can be impulsive, he's dependable and fills the spot that her actual brother couldn't. also tsundere type, hes so cutie (my type actually if you cant tell)

i think yeongrye will end up with yeongsiks friend even though i really dont like his character right now. jaepil might face some unfortunate situation, but theres also a chance theres a big timeskip and jaepil ends up falling for yeongrye (maybe he falls for her too late?)

bomin's character will definitely end up with sangcheol, she's just his type, cute and bubbly

this is far from a slow burn lmao, most of the episodes were occupied with politics and a small chunk dedicated to the romantic moments, so by that standard they got together pretty quickly, considering they've only known each other for maybe less than a month. i dont think theres a "wrong" preference in this case anyways, i mean it's a preference, come on.

if you scroll through this comments section you will see many, MANY other people saying thoughts similar to mine that the romance was moving a bit differently than they would have liked, so it's not even a wildly unpopular opinion, we for sure have a small minority of watchers who would've liked a more palpable, yearning dynamic.

we definitely have different opinions on what a slow burn is, so we can just leave it at that. i dont think we have to go back and forth on this, i wasn't expecting everyone to agree with me in my og reply anyways. but i appreciate reading your point of view on it

in that vein, this romance plot is kind of weird since BHS is born 99

i honestly thought she was born 2001 or 02 this whole time 😭😭😭 she’s always felt older than me (03’), i’m shocked to find out she’s only 19

i said the same thing about the romance but people keep fighting with me lol, i mean in the end it’s just a matter of preference

based on that i think it’s foreshadowing ML might d word 😭

i’m assuming there’s gonna be a time skip somewhere at the end so if they rlly wanted to, they could’ve given them romance post-war after the whole political drama was mulled over. but they’ve already kissed at such a politically loaded moment in the drama i’m a little scared ML might d word at this rate
