I have watched enough C-dramas to predict at least 80% of where the plot was heading, and I was right; ending with him traveling or wandering around was predictable.
Why is it that in so many dramas (C-dramas/K-dramas), some parents make their children’s lives miserable? It’s honestly heart-breaking.
If you’re not emotionally, mentally, or physically mature enough to raise a child, then don’t bring one into the world; only to punish them for existing or worse, leave them to raise themselves in a cruel world.
Clearly, the villains won’t win. The ML will get his revenge and may die in the process—after all, to him, death would mean returning to heaven to reunite with his family. Alternatively, he might survive, leaving the ending open-ended, with him stepping away to travel, as is often done in C-dramas. I don’t see him entering politics after achieving revenge and after the Emperor is crowned (I mean he suffered too much and he needs a break). The fake page boy with the face mask would ultimately be revealed as the Emperor. The real surprises come from the tactics and chess-like strategies; the overall plot isn’t hard to predict. The only real uncertainty lies in which of the supporting characters will survive.
At this point, does anyone even knows where this is headed?? I've given up on guessing the plot. I'm just going…

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ll share it anyway. The drama is good, however I feel the rating is a bit overrated. Personally, I’d give it a 7/10. When it comes to character development, plot depth, storytelling, and acting, there are other dramas that deserve an 8.9 or 9 - "The Story of Ming Lan" being a great example.
I don’t think many people noticed that the FL has basically been in survival mode the entire time. Almost everyone who should have been family to her failed her, except for the ML. Her mother was useless, her father didn’t protect her, the ML’s mother treated her poorly, and even the policeman was more interested in pinning her father’s murder on her than finding the truth. Considering everything she went through, I honestly doubt she would have survived without her intelligence and quick thinking. The FL is somewhat damaged, she really never got to feel or know what love is. What she need is HELP from a Therapist.
Meanwhile, the ML may have a terrible mother, but at least she loves him, and he also has a grandfather who genuinely cares for him.
both are broken people.. not entirely bad people.. specially junseo.. unfortunately his life got entangled with…
The thing is both ML and FL have suffered so much. I mean even when the FL is just on her own, trouble seems to find her or try to make her life miserable.
i almost cried watching kang tae oh's performance here after having to watch kim young dae's stiff acting in dear…
Stiff acting? It seems like you might not fully understand her character. It’s not a romantic scene; her demeanour fits the role and the context perfectly.
I am rooting for NAMNUNG x SUNNY and TIME x TOD.
