6.0/10 - They're all careless fools, and that's how the drama works.

Ooooo, I can't believe Yu Ra didn't spin it. Yu Ra just came out like that. She outed herself to big ally. Maybe she thought the Grand Empress Dowager would just want her son to be happy. Or that it doesn't matter. I don't know. It's just so clear that Grand Empress Dowager is not playing. She adores Sunny! So I"m wondering how long she can keep the secret from Sunny. At least Grand Empress Dowager decided to talk to Empress Dowager. At least the Empress Dowager is maybe trying to help Sunny, not a great job. I feel like Yu Ra isn't making smart choices. Oh, by the end of this episode she's "winning" true.

That's the whole goal of this drama. No one is making totally smart choices so they're always caught and on the ropes.

Sunny has to be putting things together soon. At the very least Grand Empress Dowager will tell her. Or maybe she won't? She loves her grandson and he's blood. Sunny knowing will not be something that Grand Empress Dowager would want to inflict upon her. Though no on likes feeling like a fool.

So now I'm starting to wonder if the body dug up in the first episode might actually be the first Empress. That the necklace on her was the original and Sunny has a fake/duplicate? Hmmmmmmm. So curious. It's one of many possibilities which would mean both Sunny and Yu Ra make it out alive. Because my next choice is that it's Yu Ra. Whether she marries or her body is used as decoy.

Bodyguard romances. He's definitely working the cold gallantry stuff. I'm wondering if it's part of his plan, or if by spying he realizes that Sunny is a victim as well. Is Chun Woo Bin above using innocents for his plans?

So now we're seeing Princess Soo Jin even more clearly! She's crazy! I was just pondering how Princess Soo Jin could have such an amazing daughter. Little Princess Ari is so amazing. Her treatment is so cruel. Then to find out that she's the Emperor's kid!! Wait! With the nanny? Or whom!!!??? Man Lee Hyuk is a busy man.
