Yeo Reum was using what Chae Ri said to her to convince Jae Hoon which showed that she herself didn't believe in the argument but was desperate. I'm surprised this wasn't clear enough to more people. If Jae Hoon wasn't so upset because of his feelings for her, he would've realized that she would not ask him to do this if she had any other choice and he would've recognized that that's not something she would say since he knows her so well.

I'm also surprised more people aren't wondering why he's being so participative in the show since he was added at the last minute. He could've lost the wrestling thing and let someone else go on a date but he chose to go full steam ahead with a woman he knows has feelings for him. When she told him to use her, it echoed what he said to Yeo Reum and now both he and 2FL are going back on their words because they didn't really mean "use me", but rather "choose me".

Honestly, reading the comments before watching the episode, I thought Yeo Reum did something atrocious that could not be forgiven. She asked him to be on the show and he said yes with his own agenda too. He may have been compelled because it was Yeo Reum asking, but he also did it because he wanted to be close to her and confess his feelings (less than a week after her dream wedding and life fell apart, I might add). She asked him to kiss another woman and he could've said no, but instead kissed her at her workplace where cameras were rolling. It was a mess and it's both of their mess.

I also don't get the view that he's doing everything in their friendship when they clearly had a balanced friendship before this. They helped each other out and looked out for each other. Him being in love with her isn't her fault or business and if she finds herself falling for him now, then it has to be at her own pace. A lot of comments seem to be skipping over the part where she brought him back to life and they became somewhat fixed in each other's routines because of Yeo Reum. I really like Yeo Reum and I also want to see her stand up to Chae Ri more eventually.

Rather than a slow burn romance, this is turning out to be a slow character reveal. We're getting little bits about Shang Qi and his history every few episodes and it's surprisingly, not a bad thing. It makes me more curious about him and also glad that they're not just ignoring his character altogether.

From ep 10 it seems he may not actually have liked Fei'er but was entangled with her because she knew how to manipulate him into taking care of her. We don't know exactly what happened to her on the day of the big misunderstanding, but all the flashbacks seem to show that Shang Qi cared a lot about Xiao Ran but always took care of Fei'er because she needed it so maybe that's why everyone thought they were an item. Even in ep 10 it shows that he left Fei'er when he saw her using Xiao Ran's story as her own just to get with the rich guy. Of course everything's not clear yet but I am curious about it.

I knew when the leads got together so early that there would me a lot of angst in their future so I'm anticipating the pain.

Agreed. He can be upset about the request without kissing Yeo Reum. I completely understood why she asked and I also understood why he was upset. None of that has anything to do with kissing Yeo Reum so he was wrong for that.

I mean, she asked and he could always say no. He could say he's uncomfortable and cannot do it and she'll understand and get over it eventually because it's not his job to run interference and she knows that. She asked because she couldn't think of any other way to divert attention away from the SA victim but he doesn't have to do anything and he asked her to use him for whatever she needs.

I'm enjoying the reality show angle cos it shows how venomous they are behind the scenes and just how fake these so-called "reality" shows are. I'm at ep 7 and I still like Yeo Reum. She's trying to protect someone and her methods are not the best and will probably end up causing even more problems later, but hey, that's the beauty of these dramas.

Overall, I'm really enjoying the show and even the characters I can't stand are ultimately amusing. 2FL is kind of funny but also sad cos she keeps doing way too much. Chae Ri is giving the vibe of that mean editor from Today's Webtoon cos I don't believe she's a terrible human being, but clearly something must've happened to break something in her and make her like this now. We got a glimpse with her mother before but nothing more yet. I suspect more will be revealed eventually to try and explain her behaviour and lack of empathy. I look forward to that.

I always love Ho Joon's interactions with his father but the scene where he was yelling at his father for not complimenting Jae Yoon was so funny and endearing.

Jae Yoon really needs to re-evaluate all his friendships cos if it's not a thief it's a leech and they seem to feel entitled to their awful behaviour. I'm really enjoying this show and the progression of Ho Joon and Jae Yoon's relationship. Sometimes I think they have skipped something because of the editing but they always make sure to address it in the next scenes.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in but I am so happy I'm watching this and I'm a little sad it will be over next week. I would totally watch 8 more episodes of this minus all the terrible friends.

I feel like apart from maybe 3 princes, the boys all kind of get along especially the younger ones. It was so heartwarming to see the queen and the grand princes dine together and you could tell that she tries hard not to play favorites with her kids and they all know she cares about them. I knew the happiness couldn't last long but it was still so devastating to see the Crown Prince in such a terrible state by the end. I think whoever did that to him also made sure that it was a public thing this time so the queen couldn't work her way around it.

I'm really excited for next week.

I have the same suspicion. They keep saying his condition can be managed easily with the right treatment so it was already suspicious that he was getting worse despite being treated. Now that he'd gotten the proper medicine he should not have taken a turn like this. Definitely poison imo.

It's pretty obvious that GP Sung Nam has worked hard to present the image of an irresponsible, carefree prince just so no one would look at him as a replacement for the Crown Prince, and their younger brothers took his lead to be as simple as possible and uninvolved in politics. It's going to be interesting seeing Sung Nam step up now that he knows there's more at stake and I'm sure the queen will be shocked to find him as her most reliable ally. It's also clear that all the grand princes are at least smarter than they appear and I want to see each of them excel in some way.

I chuckled when the teacher couldn't hide his satisfaction seeing Sung Nam's exam paper cos I think the papers were meant to be anonymous until scoring was done? He knew the mind of his favorite pupil when he saw it at work.

Me too! Any time they showed him strolling there I was so anxious. I'm so happy she took care of it and I'm even happier that she showed him that she accepts him and loves him no matter what.

Side note, we finally got to see someone under her umbrella in today's episode lol

Finally, I've gotten a new historical drama to fill the void in my week. The first 2 episodes were so good. I love the queen even more for doing the work of all the special tutors the consorts got to teach their sons. I think GP Seong Nam may be the most like the queen in terms of personality and I could tell he's the teacher's favourite miscreant - the kid that the teacher knows would be great if they had the right motivation. I was surprised that all the grand princes applied in the end but also not really cos they clearly love and respect their mother.

I'm also glad to watch a historical drama where the brothers actually like and care about each other, even if they are all princes. You could tell that they really love and look up to the crown prince and I liked seeing that.

I was so frustrated that GP Gye Seong couldn't take a week or 2 off from his past time when their mother told them they had to be extra careful now. It's also a sign of how comfortable they've been because he doesn't appear to have any sense of self preservation at all. He couldn't even vary the times he chose to go there when it's not like he was going to meet someone there. Ugh!

This! Cos I don't think she'd go quietly if someone was threatening Eun Ki so maybe RSH really did go there to save them (or at least he convinced them that he was there for their protection).

I guess it was because JMC worked with the killer to abduct his daughter and provided cover for him even if it was for money to save his son.

I think it's possible that the Ryu brothers' father was a judge on the orphanage embezzlement case which is why he knew about the centre. Their mother managed to keep her hands clean and hide her involvement but it won't stay hidden for much longer.

RSH isn't doing himself any favours skulking around at night looking like a serial killer. As for Eun Ki, I thought it was funny how she went outside after Sung Hoon called and told her to lock herself indoors until he got there. If she had done that and missed his warning call I would've understood, but her going outside at night after being warned to stay indoors was remarkably stupid. I wonder how RSH will explain all this now.

I didn't believe RSJ was Yoon Jae but I'm not certain YJ is dead either. But if his death was forged then who would have the means and motive to do that? Looking forward to having more questions next week lol.

Y'all... I didn't say he was the killer, I said I should've followed my first instincts cos clearly he has a lot to hide and he knows more than he's letting on. I am looking forward to when everyone finds out that he's from the orphanage and has been doing a lot more in the shadows than they are aware of.

I knew I should've followed my first instincts about RSH. I'm looking forward to the eventual revelation for the other characters.

This was just so cute and fun to watch every week. I wish we could get more of these two lovable idiots.
