Oh ok…thanks 😊. I was only able to watch bits of the special episode on YouTube and I just remember him waking up in bed with her like it was a dream. It was before I got the IQIYI and Tencent apps and they don’t put those specials on the apps.

That too…lol. She was all proud until he was like…nope.

I skipped a lot like I tend to with historical cdramas. The only one I didn’t ffwd much was Story of Minglan. I think maybe because I felt it dragged a bit with the whole ML forgotten memories but FL remembers everything arc.

That was the one he rejected for being fancy.

That’s why I wish they didn’t time-skip their good times during marriage, but you see parts of it in ep17 with the King’s memories.
Loved that they had Doek-Im mostly stay within the boundaries of her role as Court Lady except when in private with the CP/King, but that meant the actress had to brilliantly act with facial micro-expressions and the eyes. Lee Seyoung was on point with this and showed the different nuances as the character matured just like Junho did with maturing from CP to King. It was brilliant to team these two great underrated actors together. I don’t think it would have been the same TRS if either one of them was missing.

It’s a tragedy romance like most historical cdramas that aren’t idol dramas. They tried to make up for it with a special modern episode (like they woke up and it was all a dream).

He really meant it when he wanted them to be a family and tried as much as possible without breaking palace protocols related to the Queen. That’s why I wished they had at least an episode of family time. It wasn’t completely miserable for Doek-Im and we saw that in ep16 where she says, there will be happy times and there will be sad times, which is how life is. But everything took its toll on her in the end with the successive deaths.

The clues to the location of King YeongJo’s promise to CP Sado was divided into three parts. One part sown into the hat, second part in the mother’s ring, third part tattooed on Doek-Im. Head Court Lady Jo and some of the older officials like Left State Counselors knew the letter existed but didn’t know where it was. Since the old court lady was CP Sado’s nanny, Head Court Lady Jo is always suspicious of her. She most likely didn’t know about the clue but she doesn’t trust her.

Love it. If they do a modern or reincarnation drama, it has to be a really good script so that their talents aren’t wasted. Junho and Seyoung, for me, have the best emoting, eye acting, role immersions I’ve seen amongst the actors their age. They’ve both been acting about 9 years in adult roles (Seyoung started over from the bottom after taking a 3 yr hiatus for school).

Just waiting for the last few episodes to be edited like the rest of it.

She said that because San has no concept of being anything else but King…so if in the next life, he is King, pass her by so that she doesn’t have to be a concubine again. However, we see that in the end, as he was dying, he finally chose to leave the Kingdom behind to live an ordinary life with Doek-Im in his favorite moment. 😭

I wouldn’t want to go life after life living through the same pains like Groundhog Day.

Started to rewatch 😂

They’re just poorly executed or they get hijacked by a company to introduce new actress/actor they’re trying to push and ruin most of the plot. I give up.

Yeah Viki needs to do downloads. I flew a couple times while TRS was airing. I gave in and bought in-flight Wi-Fi to watch it 🤣

After the last couple of cdramas, I’m almost giving up on them this year. Maybe once Gong June’s drama with Dilriba comes out but meh…we’ll see.

At least you gave it a try. I keep telling myself to try it but my fingers automatically goes to opening up Viki App and TRS instead of Netflix 🤣

I just realized that she sang one of the songs on the Hit the Top soundtrack. Love her voice there and on King of the Mask Singer.

Restarting also 😊

They basically both said the same. They can’t make it happen but if the opportunity knocks, they would do it. Hoping the opportunity comes sometime in the future. Love what he said about how they were in tandem with their acting just by looking at each other due to being comfortable and communicating well in an enjoyable atmosphere. No wonder their chemistry was great.
