"The calm before the storm." describes this drama perfectly. I'm only in episode 8 but I can already feel the gradual change in pace. I don't think this drama will end in a good note. I smell another tragedy on the way.
Is it sad that I want to see the Emperor redeem himself? I think he is only toxic because of his childhood. I…
Definitely especially since she could have been saved if he just called ambulance instead of hiding his crime. Which is also I hate Min Yura the most. She dealt the blow, cause her to get into an accident, knew she was alive but still bruied her alive... but worst of all, she did all the knowing that was her adoptive mother.
Two weeks ago, a lot of people said this drama was crazy... now that I’ve seen the first episode, yeah, this is crazy. The fact these women are over obsessed with education this much is tripping me. Wait, it’s not even about education anymore. It’s the “prestige” title that they are slave for. If I were their child, I would have lost my mind. I ain’t surprised the episode ended the way it did.
For some reason, I really can’t ship Woo Bin with Sunny. It feels like their relationship is all about, “She get in trouble, he comes and saves her. They realize they are in the same position.” Kind of love story.
As for the emperor, even though I detested him when I first started it, I can’t deny that the last few episode had me cracking a smile. However, I ain’t delusional. He is still toxic asf! No woman with her head intacted with her shoulder would stay a minute with him.... so I would have preferred if Sunny stayed single but oh well, can’t change the plot.
I'm not up to date yet but just when I thought, "How will they make the story interesting if they are revealing a lot of secrets early on?" This drama goes ahead and brings one twist after another to keep it going. I'm impressed.
The way i see it, she was shocked and insulted and started crying. This would be far less of an emotional crying…
The problem for me is that throughout the entire episode you can tell she is acting rather than being Jung Hee Ju if that make sense. The context didn't need depth but it could have been better. Silently crying would have been more appropriate.
When I first watched episode 1, I thought to myself that this would have been a good drama if the writer made this game faulty where people actually dies and the player gets actual hurt by this game... but I reminded myself that this is k-drama lol they would never make such plot. Boi I was WRONG! After they finished that duel, I got the feeling that he was dead cause he didn't move an inch and did they not disappoint! Finally a writer who takes risks! FINALLY!
I'm not sure what is your k-drama standard, but I think we've seen worse then that. There far more terrible actresses…
Ironically, it always the actresses who are in the industry longer who still can't get their act together. Well, opinion do differ so I won't convince you. I just called it the way I see it.

Of course there are actresses who are way worse but my standard is if you acting for 15+ years and you still can't pull up a convincing act then yes, it's below standard. Again, I'm talking about her "acting" not her "character". These are two different things. An actress can act well despite her character suffering from poor writing. I'll watch more to see if Park Shin Hye will prove me wrong later on.
Someone please tell me Park Shin Hye acting improves after episode 1? When he shouted at her, the crying couldn't have been more fake. Like this below k-drama standards.
The only thing stopping Jin Yong Tae character from being the perfect comedic villain is how we didn't get a scene of him babysitting Joon-Joon. What a wasted opportunity.

That and the amount of people continuing to manipulating whenever he gives them his trust just to realize he was a fool.
