With the trappings of the palace removed, I agree. It was telling that she was the one wondering how their lives would've been like as commoners, yet he never had to even wonder that. Talk about power imbalance. 

It was such a good depiction of the power imbalance .  Modern romcom where power dynamics are swapped and she chases after him?

Lol that could work if done by this team, otherwise it could be like many other generic tsundere romances!

Not a reincarnation drama but something like Our Beloved Summer would be nice.

Yeah that true.  If they ever remake Queen Seondeuk, I wonder how it would be. I might need to look through that one later.

That one has been on my list for ages, I should get on it 

I saw this interesting analysis

But I do feel that Deok Im was strong even in her deathbed

Me too.  I saw some clips on YouTube once but didn’t have time for it.  Now it’s on my watchlist.

In the end, Queen dowager really just wanted a friend and was so lonely

We were talking about that earlier.  It’s a great take on this drama.  It’s both their story.  Seyoung had a really hard character to play and she did it brilliantly because we were all able to see what that analysis pointed out.  That’s why I feel she should have been mentioned for daesang too.

I really thought she still wanted a pawn to play against San, but you're right, she was just as lonely.

I don’t blame her.  It’s lonely in those positions.  I love that she goes back and forth betwe wanting to use her versus just wanting her company.  Her character was grey all the way.  But Doek-Im’s like a game of Go between San and Queen Dowager.

Was Lia’s OST missing?  To be honest I was feeling yo emotions too much to pay attention and just sa Lia fans asking about it on Twitter
