the scene between the Queen Mother and her son in ep 10 😠They’re both such good actors it genuinely made me cry, especially GSY 😠there honestly couldn’t have been a more perfect casting for the Queen Mother role. She absolutely killed it.

I hope not, i abhor her character and i hope she gets what she deserves at the end rather than some redemption…
It really is interesting seeing as I An needs to get justice for his brother, himself, Huiju, and his nephew but at the same time he also needs to be careful with how he punishes the QM since the little King's emotional status is already extremely fragile.
I An wouldn't want to cause him even more pain - specially if the QM was only "all bark with no bite" unlike her father 🙈

Here's my take after episode 10 pt 1: The person who might unexpectedly side with I-AN is the Queen Mother. Here's…
1) She already knows that It's only a matter of time till I-AN takes the Crown,
2) She already doesn't trust her father after the PM brought evidence that he tried to poison I-AN (He didn't hide it or tried to deny it either),
3) her interaction with her son in ep 10 might change a lot. She finally knows how badly she messed up and she finally saw him as a a child,
4) what I-AN told her might stuck with her. He wants to stand in front of his nephew to protect him, while everyone else seems to see him as a puppet.
5) what the PM said to her might scare her. I can totally see the threads he sent her way in episode 10 backfire on him.
6) I-AN is the only person who gave any sort of assurance that her life won't turn into a complete hell hole after her son is no longer the King. In fact, I AN openly told her that he won't make her pay for her sins (even if his did it for the same for his nephew,
7) ep 10 confirmed that she has romantic feelings for I-AN. Even though it's one sided, she won't be neutral about another attempt on his life,
8 ) I'm positive the QM tried to warn I-AN at the end of episode 10, that's why...
9) she'll bring " the girl she hid" to the palace. In my opinion, it's 99% Aurum, the girl who gave testimony against her father. Aurum went straight to the PM to come clean, but he decided to cover it up instead.
i dont know why but i feel that Yi An's elder brother was killed by the queen mother's father and not the queen mother still only at ep6 so just telling my view after observing and the queen mother was forced to turn gray not black and she might come back to her senses once she sees her father's real face thought she may not be left out completely innocent but will be punished lenient as the little king is still very young he is the most innocent of all and has already lost his father at a young age and yi An might not want his nephew to go through the same pain he went through in his childhood because I can see he loves the little king a lot

this is kind of random but does anyone have any drama recs where it focuses on a relationship like i-an and his nephew? I like their relationship a lot, and seeing how much i-an cares about him! ðŸ˜
I honestly don’t care about the queen mother’s ‘sacrifices’. She is beyond redemption
It was a choice, nothing sacrificial about it. She's just regretting it now and doesn't want to face that it was her own greed that landed her here so she's dressing it up as a "sacrifice"😅
