No. It doesn't happen chronically. She has a child when she's a concubine not the Empress. Unfortunately I've forgotten the details about how Song Nyang and deposed king fall apart the 2nd time (the first time she thinks he's dead and becomes a palace maid). Then she marries Togon and has a child later. It is too long for me to go and check the eps. maybe you can see online recaps to know where to look. The killing is after her coronation, the last episode.

I think initially he went back to Goryo to manage his country and when she crowns as the Empress, Togon becomes delusional about his power and Song Nyang and had kim killed when he came for the coronation.

I think it's exactly because he's got such an amiable and calm face and voice that he can play a certain kind of villains so good p.e. seemingly fatherly masters, evil officers or schemers, etc. Being a villain is the last thing one (in the dramaworld) would think

He's sure prolific, may I ask which one of his dramas have you seen?

Not exactly. I've forgotten the details but she loves Goryo king but some events lead to her becoming Togon's concort, then she becomes power hungry and revengeful and eventually at the epilogue she tells a sick dying Togon she loves him too.

I think the ending was his dream. He was going to report his new position and on the way he dreamed about the only time he'd seen Shen Xia's brother. He did tell he'd seen him collecting his sister once in front of the school. He was remembering that day when they were all alive and happy, just normal people.

Great!! Just what I love!!

At first I thought this is the usual teacher-student drama about a jealous elder who surpassed the promising resident and she has returned to take revenge but this crime_thriller tag with Sycopath female has me excited.

LJH looks like a young Matthew Lee from the Escape of Seven from his university days. 😁

It's been three already. Seems the creators liked their chemistry، they should make one with them as an age-gap pair and be done with it. 😂

Poster is chilling!

I once read a crossover fanfiction of The Merciless and Kill Bok Soon with Im Si Wan as Mantis . The writer had a good premonition of imagining ISW as Mantis. 😁

Since it's a sequel probably he's a cameo a/or in flashbacks.

Did you find out yourself? There are 3 murderes, Shen Xia, her brother and Jiang Peng.

He's so cool and quite good as well. He's got lots of dramas as both villains and good. He was the evil master in Blossoming Love too but that version is a more sappy and emotional genre.

Yeah, it's as if they have a fixed template and only change actors and some subplots. Everything is so recycled. I've downloaded the 4th movie to watch it at leasure months ago but still haven't seen that. I don't think that will be much different too.

You draw the contrast quite well. Someone makes her love interest thrive to be better, gives him courage and confidence so he can rise high. Whereas the other one doesn't care whether her husband is the doorman or the chairman.

Quite agree. She left an office and stated another, planned business trips and partnership all without telling him as if he's some stranger flatmate.

To me it seems she doesn't know what it is to have a family and for all her sharpness doesn't even try. Her only answer is "I've never relied on others so I can't now"! She only sees financial side like not driving the car bought by in-laws, not understanding it's family property, I wouldn't be surprised if she drinks a bottle of water QQ has bought and replace it so she wouldn't owe him. 🥶

She doesn't count on him for anything and doesn't talks about the most important and significant things let alone trivial and random ones and sees this miscommunication and indifference as being independent. This is not how a marriage works. I'm only on eps. 18 but her actions are annoying.

Alright. Thank you.

TBH I got my answer as I was writing it under the spoiler mark but my app has a bug that sometimes doesn't have edit and delete option for my own comments. So I couldn't delete this then.😅

Now that you're so kind to ask, do you remember where is Sang Qi's death? Around what chapter?

Yes.
