More like he's gonna finish what they started on Jeju island. I'm getting that sort of vibe.

Is it hurt pride or has ML really fell so hard for FL? I'm kinda leaning towards the latter, lol, sexual tension is palpable. Actors are doing a great job.

If FL isn't drunk and in an embarassing situation because of that, then it's not a kdrama.

I've written what I think about it below already. They don't really know each other yet, that one has only just begun in the Onion chat, even though they don't know each other's real identities there. So all liking is superficial and on the surface so far.

She likes his looks and cool heroic detective persona from his role, she also likes him donning that role on occasion irl. And it seems like all her previous bfs hit on her first, while she wasn't particularly interested in them. She's also very nerdy about her profession, so it quickly turned off all of her bfs. But this time she liked ML first, so that's why she said what she said at the Onion deal encounter.

He likes her looks and her credentials of being a serious pro journalist. He's a drama queen though, so it's hard to gauge whether he'll be off put by her nerding about her profession, because right now he's being off put by her paparazzi stunts and unlucky encounters with him. Luckily in the last episode she's had enough and decided to quit that job.

I'm glad FL decided to call it quits, that job is trash. You either gonna degrade your self-esteem because of being seen as a trash person, or you really will become a trash person. She gotta get back to serious journalism.

Yea, probably something happened akin to dumb noble sacrifice. Doesn't mean SML should forgive her, he didn't ask for this and she could have explained it to him instead dumping and hurting him. Seen a plot just like this in another drama, ML there got bitter about women and people in general because of that.

They're both tsundere, tbh. However, he doesn't know that the Onion girl is FL, she's just some fangirl stranger for all he knows. And she really is just that, she doesn't like him as a person behind the actor irl, she likes his looks and detective role persona. And she barely knows him as person, because they're always arguing when meeting. I guess their Onion chat will allow them to know each other better, but it has barely just begun.
But considering all that, he treats her differently from those other fangirls on the Onion just because she said she liked him in a nice way. I'm just struggling to find consistency here in ML's behavior.

How the ef did they not recognize each other during the Onion deal encounter? It's not likey they were wearing Batman masks or the like 🤣. This is some of those classic cinema bs moments.
Also, how her liking ML is any different here from those fangirls from his blind dates?

For a commoner peddler she's way too cocky with nobles and officials. She's not their equal and should know her place. With that sort of attitude it's weird she didn't get into some big trouble even before meeting ML. ML was right to call her reckless.
It's as if they wanted to show she still had some memories from her past life, but instead subconscious mannerisms which would have made more sense, they chose to leave some of that noble arrogance.

That advertised body swap twist happened 2 episodes too late, though. The plot was so plain for the 4 episodes I almost forgot they gonna do it. Not sure making 180 from a serious drama into gender bender comedy gonna work here. But we'll see, I was thinking about dropping it on episode 4 if it didn't happen. The drama was too boring.

The king is still alive as well and has no allies either. It's like that whole family is a bunch of powerless slobs.

Personally, I'm sick and tired if this "weak, powerless king/prince" trope in saeguks. It's been in every single one of them that I've watched. And the shady minister is almost always the villain. Their political squabbles is the least interesting part of this drama. We all know how it's gonna end.
What's dumb here though, is that the king's family strangely enough has zero political allies/clans/factions supporting them. And the minister has so much power, he basically walks and talks about treason in the open. Then just fkn invent some sh*t again and kill all the royal family in a coup, and then sit on the throne yourself, ffs. You're all relatives anyway through clans' inbreeding. The commoners won't care any way who's ass is on the throne.

I swear, there was only one great saeguk with all-round great plot and even that one required throwing zombies in the mix to make it interesting. You know which one I'm talking about.

I dunno, it's been several years already, and he only got his half-brother as an ally. This is getting nowhere. And you can train all you want, but if you're so dumb to roam around only with a few guards, you're just asking for trouble. He should have been doing counter scheming and gathering political allies, instead of playing the court jester and wallowing in grief.
It's more likely that the arrogant minister's gonna make a big mistake somewhere down the line by himself. Or, now that his daughter is in the picture, she'll be his downfall. She doesn't seem to care about him or his scheming at all.

Well, that SFL is ambitious and smart, I give her that. Papa likely never spanked her in her life, so she grew up headstrong and ruined his plans for the sake of getting her own man on the throne. This is the type that would actually make a good queen, who won't let anybody walk all over her or get herself killed like a dumb cow. I'm actually kinda rooting for her and SML.
ML is a useless slob anyway, who couldn't even concoct a plan of revenge, or get some allies to kill the bully minister. Let him have his peaceful fairy tale with FL somewhere outside the palace. Doesn't look like they're cut out for politics anyway.

I think she's dead, actually, and he's a widower.

Not ML's sister, it's gonna be the clingy girl to whom ML's father wants to marry him off to. The one who has an art gallery.
ML's sister looks like a total bish who's not gonna get any.

That's why the drama's title is so appropriate. They had to start it with a bang.

Business Proposal had very good acting. Two bestie FLs basically carried that drama, they were very fun to watch.

Casting managers did a good job for once 🙄

I hope none of these two, I hate childhood connection and reincarnation destiny tropes with a vengeance. Amnesia is just plain dumb usually, unless it's pretend on purpose, but I've seen only one drama with such clever use of it.
