Just finished ep8 and i cant how annoying niao niaos mum is! The number of times I was crying whilst watching niao being treated like a worthless daughter and the cousin being treated better because she's weak. It made me so frustrated and ngl it's been some time since I felt this emotional every ep watching a drama. Also big round of applause to zhou lusi! Such an amazing actress.
I have a feeling we will get s2 because we are on ep6 already and they still trying to find out who poisoned the crown prince unless they rush it. Which I don't want. I rather they make s2 and make the ending good.
Can anyone tell me who's Taekhyeon? they keep talking about it since ep.5 and im sort of lost lol
Lol. Its not somebody but a procedure where they choose the new crown prince out of the queens, concubines or consorts sons after the already crown prince dies or sent to exile.
I think the king and queen genuinely loved each other at one point and still do but at some point, he became the king and had to focus on the kingdom. And the queen also had responsibilities. Also, the queen did not get preg on time and consorts started making their way through. Of course, she got preg many times after the 1st born from consort Hwang but all of this distanced them both with time.
I'm seeing comments about prince bogeum having a dark side and being rude to his mum. But let's be real here. His mum is constantly pressuring him to climb the ladder and become the king. when he has practically no one officially to support him through it. This is the reality, if you don't have the money, the power, and the influence already with you then who will want to support u to be up there. In those times being the king means his line of the family will also get more power. No one on the opposite side would want that power to go to the poor maid's prince. The other princes have at least something whether it's money, power, or being just the queen's son. Also, he gets bullied so much for being clever. if the other princes apart from the grand princes had the chance they would've gotten rid of him instantly. He knows all this and is still standing up tall. But his mum does not see the ugly side like him,
The main reason I think the writers chose to k!ll the abusers loved ones was because that's what will give them real heartache, the heartache of losing your child before your own death because of what you did to others children. Because if they just k!ll the abusers then this might as well become a 2hr movie instead of a whole drama. Also, the whole point is to show that they were tortured so badly that this is what they became from innocent children to psychopathic serial killers. Also apart from that we also have an example of one child being mentally abnormal (he is still stuck at the moment). This is the main point the writer wants to show - the different outcomes of such brutality at a young age.
Iβve been trying to figure out why Iβm so disappointed with the route the show has gone and I think it comes…
I agree wit you but at the same you need to remember that this is not real. Its a drama not based on a real story. The main reason i think the writers chose to k!ll the abusers loved ones was because thats what will give them the real heartache, the heartache of losing your child before your own death because of what you did to others kids.
