That's why I suggested she use it as a distraction.

When she was running around the hospital, I wondered so many things... Like why didn't they think of a distraction for a scenario like that? Why not force an evacuation? Since she had a bomb, why wasn't that the distraction? Why didn't she just plant that when she lucked into the chamber with all the samples? Blow it up and get away while they figure it out? Why did she even go to the reception when they asked all the staff to come there? I have so many whys and no answers. It's quite frustrating.

I'm sorry but Liu Yan's foolishness is trying my patience. At every turn she always falls face first into people taking advantage of her. It's so infuriating to watch and I'm only on episode 2.

There have been movies made with terminally ill actors before, but we usually find out after the fact. For this one, I don't think they used her illness to promote the movie, but rather her story *after* the illness was made public due to circumstances beyond their control. They would have kept it hidden until the end of they could've.

But to answer your question, I'd watch it and I'd definitely be bawling my eyes out in the theatre.

The guy who brought the map. They killed him and took it from him. She had them dump his body somewhere after.

Totally agree about Qingying, but Zhenzhen actually killed someone? Right? QY is ignorant, childish and bullheaded, but she hasn't willfully killed anyone yet so the thing ice she's on is still in one piece. However, I do wish she'd paused for even a second to reflect on herself after what happened to the villagers. At this point, I don't think that will ever happen, but I can still hope since there are many more episodes to come.

I can accept the makeup lady being an outsider pov, but she's experienced enough to know you don't just rant about something like that in front of the entire crew when you don't actually have any evidence. It could lead to the destruction of Da Eum's reputation before she even has a chance to make it as a new actress. It could also potentially fuel bad blood and allegations of favouritism among crew members or castmates who were already biased or just looking for trouble. So yeah, while I get the point of her, it was the blabbing that irritated me. If all she'd done was mention it to the guy when they went out to smoke, I would accept that. My other issue is that she said she hadn't been around for a while, so when exactly did she observe them cos Da Eum and Je Ha weren't even in the same room when the makeup testing was going on (unless I missed something).

As for the college classmate, I don't believe she ever thought of them as friends, but I agree that she's jealous and always has been. I really hope you're right about Seo Young cos if they don't course-correct now, it'll feel rushed and inadequate later.

I'm glad that I was wrong about Je Ha trying to protect Da Eum from "herself". But now we're halfway through and it's starting to feel like the writer put so much time and effort into Da Eum and Je Ha that they forgot they had to develop the other characters the same way, and in a rush they're throwing tropes at the wall to see what sticks.

Like, why was the makeup lady just blabbing about Da Eum and Je Ha having something randomly? If anything, I'd expect the assistant to be the one making those observations not a character who just showed up. Don't even get me started on the stereotypical mean girl college classmate. Being hung up on someone you had a semester with in college is weird and creepy. They weren't best friends or anything, in fact it looked like all they did was one group assignment together. Get a grip.

As for Seo Yeong, I wish she'd go digging in the nearest dumpster for her dignity and stop being so embarrassing about a man who doesn't want her and arguably treated her like trash before. Cringey and sad.

I really understand that her father wants her to stay in the hospital and at least extend her time with her family and friends, but I wish he could just see how that would destroy Da Eum. I was really hoping Je Ha would be the one to get him to understand a little of what Da Eum wants and needs, but we're just not there yet, and it even looks like Je Ha may be going the other way once he starts admitting that he's catching feelings.

Da Eum was never meant to be confined and now she's dying. She deserves to be happy in the time she has left when life already dealt her such a nasty hand.

I really wish they'd just give a show like this all the episodes it needs to tell the story properly. The weird cuts and obvious gaps made it just short of great.

I feel like this is going to be one of those shows where I end up crying over it but I'm also really thankful to have watched it by the end.

Riddle me this... If you stole recipes from a restaurant, why would you then put that restaurant and its aggrieved owner on a nationally televised TV show FOR FREE???? This whole thing would be over if our chef stopped wallowing in self pity and just released her recipe notes. Like "omg I'm so shocked to get 3 stars and this is my cooking journey". It was already bad enough that the back story reveal was so pathetic (don't even get me started on her throwing her whole dream away for a man) but why would you let another restaurant get away with stealing your recipes???? Of course, they'll expect me to accept that she's the bigger person, or she wants her food to speak for itself, blah blah blah. I call BS.

It would've made more sense for HBW to be the one to get them on the show because if this is how the chairwoman does business, I can't imagine why she's so successful. She should not be pushing for a newly aggrieved chef WHOSE RECIPES YOU JUST STOLE TO ATTAIN 3 STARS to be on national TV. It's just so unbelievably stupid to me. She should be trying to wipe Jungjae off the face of the planet actually *face palm*.

/rant over

I figured it must've had something to do with them but I completely missed that reveal in the episode.

Thank you!

Did I miss the explanation for why/how Jungjae also got 3 stars? There's a lot that's wrong with this drama but I want to believe I just skipped that part cos they must have revealed it to us. Right? Or they're saving that for minute 50 of episode 10?

I'm glad I watched this but the final 2 episodes were a bit disappointing. I didn't see the need to kill the queen and her unborn child. It didn't add anything to the plot at all as the king could still have been possessed just by disabling the protective crystals without fridging his wife and child.

Finally, the whole "I'll sacrifice myself with a half baked idea to save my loved one" trope is so overused and boring. If Yeo Ri and Kang Chul had actually sat down to plan, I believe they could've taken out the 8ft spirit without all the histrionics. They kept ignoring the blind shaman when his shrine was literally the thing that always got in their way. No one thought to find him and put him out of commission? Cos Yeo Ri almost got the spirit up out of there with the grim reaper, but like clockwork, the blind shaman reinforced him. Then at the last minute all KC had to do was shine bright like a diamond? Okay, sure.

Anyway, it was mostly fun in the end and I enjoyed a lot of it even the bits that annoyed me.

I get the importance of the rock but Yeo Ri noticed the king's glasses because they were made from the rock but now it's a rock again. She said his own and her own were a pair and that's how she realised her grandmother had been at the palace. I'm asking why it's now a rock that the king finds burdensome when they told us that it was made into his glasses in the beginning.

As for your theory on Kang Chul, you may be right but the drama has done nothing to tell us any of this so it's still just a theory. I was wondering if they told us the reason specifically. Also, isn't Kang Chul a deity? He's not a vengeful spirit fueled by hate so his feelings should do nothing to affect his powers, at least that's what I thought.

Also, your theory about the 8ft spirit may also be right and I guess we'll find out in the final episodes.

I thought there was a time in the beginning when they said the king's glasses were made using the warding stone, or did I misread something? Cos if so, why is his warding stone now just a rock that he suddenly finds burdensome?

Also, did they offer any explanation for why Kang Chul is losing his powers or why he can't leave the body? It feels like we've missed some key things and that's a little annoying.

Also also, if the 8ft spirit is the guard, did he really witness Kang Chul falling from the sky? Or is that a memory from one of the spirits he amassed from the village?

Yeo Ri isn't a shaman. She's a professional hostage/damsel in distress.

Also, you couldn't pay me to feel sorry for Bi Bi cos what did he think was going to happen, really? Deities are apparently even stupider than human beings.

I hate when things happen because the writer forgot their own script. Hongye and Huaizhu were literally following Jiuhuo to "figure out who the spy was", and yet they were suddenly just roaming about doing nothing for the entire period when Jiuhuo was talking to the spy and then getting his heart broken by the black fox. It's such a stupid way to extend this rubbish betrayal and it makes me instantly dislike whatever is coming next.

Anyway, I'm still on ep 31. Maybe they're going to reveal that Huaizhu knows and is just playing the long game (lol).
