have you watched Queendom?

Same here. I ended up with tons of questions, but I hadn’t binged a kdrama in a while. The last time I saved a drama's OST was for Queen of Tears. It would take me a while to move on

It wasn't a “sudden change,” and the consequences were implicit. People chose to abolish the monarchy, and the transition lasted 3 years. That’s why when Hui Joo resumed work, and Secretary Do says, “let’s say you were on sabbatical”, her response was, “Don’t you think I worked hard enough to abolish monarchy to count that as work?” PM was elected, but he attempted to kill the king (I didn't like that they never showed what happened to the PM). Of course, they didn't remove class difference; what they removed was the need for royal status that defined where you would end up from the moment you were born. It wasn't a monarchy, to begin with, it was a constitutional monarchy, that's the fictional part of the story. With such a form of government, people could only choose who would represent them, while the king still held the power to make decisions for the population. Every corner of the story screams capitalism, and that was the whole point “if we have capitalism why do we need a king?”

That’s not the point. The point was: “I’m going to give the power to the people to choose their leaders.” That's why the focus was on how ridiculous it was to have a kid as king, upholding the nation's power to make decisions without understanding a thing. I think the ending makes sense. Hui Joo said it well: “I didn't want to become a queen; I was pursuing a royal title because of the opportunities it cost me.” For me, the ending was coherent with the narrative as Hui Joo, as an independent businesswoman, would have ended up with the sole mission of “conceiving an heir” They didn’t give up their money, who can have a cultural foundation while poor? They simply removed the barriers for unprivileged

At some point, I became more interested in the second leads, but they didn't get enough screen time. Most plots were ridiculous

After she wished on her third wish, she forgot the genie. That was going to happen anyway

cool!

Do you like slice of life? If so, have you watched When life gives you tangerines?

I’m glad I watched it without checking such bad reviews. Lately, MDL ratings have been weird

Waiting for season 2. Hope they develop the two remaining couples and the new role for our Chu Chu

thanks

If that happens, Hyun Woo will survive. He make it clear that even 3 men can't defeat him. I'll bet on Hyun Woo

Loved it. Goddess Lee Mi Hyun, I love you the most. I did not recognize her until I looked on her profile and saw she worked on W. I'm glad to see she has grown so much since then. I was waiting for a close-up shot and emotional reunion of Doo Shik, Mi Hyun and Bong Seok but got an aerial shot instead. I hadn't hooked like this in a while. Loved every story they portrait. I'd like a second season 'cause I need more answers and it's Disney + super heroes, but there are just rumors. There are still a lot of open questions. Fighting scenes were amazing. Sometimes the FX were exaggerated but it doesn't matter because the storyline was everything and more. I feel they rushed the last 10 mins to close a bounch of stories, but I'd like to think they'll expand them in season 2. Moving has become in one of my favorite kdramas, I still don't get why not a lot of people is talking about it. A hidden gem.

Same here. Loved that character

and continuing with the continuation of @aly_w he may have planned the car accident to see if Hee Soo inherited the ability. So, he could to restart the program

1. Yes, he was the mission leader of the mission that Kim Doo Shik and Lee Mi Hyun failed, the tea mission. Also, he lead the mission to capture Kim Doo Shik's family

yep

Also, I rarely pay attention to the OST, but the OST for this kdrama was amazing (Alarm, You, Never let go, Bird, Talk to Me, Don't Say). I even looked for the lyrics

I loved it, got hooked very quickly. I don't get why the 8.2, it deserves a higher rank. This is a high-quality production, the cast was exceptional, Lee Bo Young nailed it. I loved the duo Go Ah In/Kang Han Na. I saw a bunch of comments about the ending. For me, she stayed true to herself, she was losing money by running the company for others when she already knew the entire business and industry better than anyone else, as she said, she didn't want to be a servient forever. Probably they failed to portrait the transition to her own agency in terms of timing, 1 year is not a realistic time-window to build a company from scratch, and it seems like she only worked for a couple of months as CEO of VC, but seriously after all the efforts? 3 or 5 years for transitioning would have been better. I loved that she seemed to be recovered her mental health.
