I hope they don't alter too much from the book nor the ending (whatever it is...lol)

Personal Taste got shortened? I didn't know that. I've seen other dramas (less deserving of) getting extensions getting them (Protect the Boss, those two extra episodes did nothing for me...Spy Myung Wol, I ended up dropping it...lol) But this one really did deserve that extension.

Thanks dapinaymrs. :D

I finally watched Ep. 13 and this drama is so good. Has anyone read the novel? I think Prince Yang Myung will turn "evil" now. It would be interesting to watch Jung Il Woo do that sort of character that goes "bad", but at the same time I don't want to...lol

Ah, Juniko, about the video, you could have embedded it. You had given a warning that it was about ep. 14, so it's really the fault of however watches it w/o watching the previous episodes if they are spoiled...lol

well i dont know what english speaking country you live in, but i know in america the problem is an overwhelming cultural idea that america is the best and of course nothing written by some one from another country (ok, we'll put up with other english speaking countries and maybe other europeans if we HAVE to) would be worth reading. there also seems to be something about cost. it is insanely expensive to purchase translated manga and anime (even if it's only subbed) in america, so much so that it is prohibative for a lot of people, so the already small audience is made even smaller.

Spoilers for episode 14

I hope so too. It sure seemed that way and I loved it. *crosses fingers and hopes it's not like that other drama I'm watching where showed signs of growing a spine and then...poof....lol*

This is the first time I'm actually moved by Han Ga In's acting. It helped that the flashbacks as they showed (what I hope was) her regaining her memory. I usually really dislike the overuse of flashbacks, but in that scene they were totally helpful. Actually, through all the episodes they were actually beneficial since it shows her remembering bit and pieces of her old life and she thinking she was superpowers.

I cried all over again, especially when she "died" in her father's lap.

And the actress who plays her mom ...I could just feel her desperation in wanting to reach Wol and not being able to. That woman's cries are like arrows to the heart.

Now I can't wait for ep. 15.

I love this drama!

You guys have to watch this!!!! I'm literally dying waiting for the next episode!!!! I'm checking every two minutes thinking there might be a new episode. This drama has the highest viewer ratings....and i mean high!!!! You'll definitely fall in love with it and the characters. If you don't watch it, you'll regret it forever. Forget the fact that it's historical, just think of it as them just wearing different clothes.

I've finally taken Jeanie unnie's advice ("suspend your disbelief") and have deluded myself into thinking that since she's a noble woman and she sits most of the day embroidering (such fun...), and only only walks a few days around the market, she's weaker than the average low born/peasant woman who have to work all day from sun up to sun down. So her weaker noble woman body combined with desperation, all worked against her...(Yep. totally deluded myself....lol)

Personally, I would have shoved the people, they would have possibly fallen forward since they were not expecting to be shoved and I would have walked all over them....lol
