something i noticed from the beginning is one simple contrast between her and the other main leads: she seems to be saying her lines too fast, like just reciting them. it may also be intentional characterization of her role to hide her insecurities by talking too fast...

i feel this moment is such a key one but they are delaying the intrigue on it too much : its obvious she filmed the passcode!they even replayed this moment so many times it was so obvious and they haven't talked about it yet...

also the presence of the corrupt ceo in the area was not a coincidence ! and with joon showing the house video ( we don't actually see what it is, is the door open?) means they were surveilling or already know something. if joon already had that clip and is blackmailing the husband, why is he using the clip now and not at the court case earlier?

these are my theories haha

i think its maternal/son relationship that is very strong in general. they both want to fill it somehow

wow this show played with the mom sensitive cord. i cried so hard in the first episode!

do you think this show will have society impact in south korea? its very political/anticorruption

also, both airing shows, impossible heir and wonderful world start with a time jump on a critical moment, is it a trend now??

your review is so insightful! you put into words exactly why this show was so special ( at least in the beginning) and a very plausible explanation on the FL performance/ role...

ahhh !! i think it resolved well but the last episode was like a movie by itself 🤣 i think the ending was too cliché despite the writers trying hard to 'surprise' us

exactly!! i'm still glad i watch the first episodes they were of unmatched quality!

i have to agreee with almost everything! i feel they had engineered the finale with moments we were anticipating since the beginning! i actually liked the final episode as it had its own events, and it made me realize i wished the show was shorter as quality of the plot was not always top in the middle episodes. the first episodes were just incredibly amazing, and the level just kept lowering slowly till the end

when he called her by her name it was really something! they really kept what we were all waiting for... for the end

what does shambolic mean 🫣

i waited before i watched the finale 🥺🥺
the last episode was really well done! could have been a movie by itself! i will miss this show!

i loved the first 2 episodes to give us a background on the story!! just enough curiosity set for me! characters seem to have enough complexity in general!! really curious to see how solid the plot will stay and i wonder why they put so much emphasis on the FL moments for the past ! I really hope it wont be a soapy triangle 😭

13 & 14 were looong, i feel the pace & flow of the show changed :/

they stretched the palace drama so much this show could have been about many other things too...but instead... so many long dialogues between secondary characters...

i really hoped for more dynamic/ hybrid episodes like a few of the earlier episodes :/

also non verbal cues and chemistry is downplayed so much for the main couple.. i know they can manage better than that , its too bad ...

a few episodes in i realized its a series: so every s&f game release is a different story? and would u only recommend these 2 : 4 & 6?

thank u for explaining!! i also have trouble understanding this well! 😅

loved the twist in the end of ep13! in this episode we could appreciate the planning 'genius' of both mong woo and the king.

the FL is a lot more expressive in ep13, but i'm surprised we still rarely see her 'dressed' as a lady! don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining, i feel it's part of the love transcends appearance.

i havent seen that show but i can imagine! its too bad because she did shows before with strong personnality that is not washed out like that...

i agree but i can't also help but think the producers chose to show the FL in disguise for almost all the scenes. we don't have enough hee so scenes or contrast to know her. the show was made in a way that erases her behind 'mung woo'...
i also really wanted to root for her, and i think she has limited flexibility from the show itself

the whole final scene of jiwon with sumin was so great it was full circle ! passing through your fears ! jiwon was an inspiring character ! 🫶

i still have hope... for the female lead! 🤣
even if it needs to get more messy... her character is shown as more intricate in ep12 , and i really liked the fact that the king guessed it was her idea ( crown prince) ...
chemistry and revenge motive wise ... it really seems like its the weakest link of the show
