SPHINXgirl

This episode really annoyed me. Yes, she needs to go back to film school, that has always been her dream. If his dream is her, then GO WITH HER!!! Why is this so hard people!?

Oh. Got it. That makes sense why I feel like I missed something then. Thanks.

So I have apparently forgotten, but where did Lee Chan get Da Reum's journal? I thought he picked it up when she put it down at the company, but apparently not, since he didn't know whose it was until this ep.

While I really do enjoy it overall and don't think it's lost its footing, I do agree that it is missing something. And that something is fun. from the trailers, and synopsis, I really thought this series was going to be a lot of fun to watch and, while the story is good, and I really like the characters, it stresses me out to watch. It has had moments of fun, but way too soapy as a whole to be just a fun show to watch.

It sounded like she was raised by her mother as a regular person and then something happened and she then lived with her dad. So my guess is she is as unbroken as she is because of her upbringing from her mother.

I think he needs someone with that arrogance to be able to toe the line against the queen mother and come out unscathed. Also, if we're talking about arrogance, the male lead is probably the most prideful man alive. If anyone other than Beon Woo Seok was playing him with his infectious charm, I'd dislike him.

I also loved the female lead in lovely runner. But it was a very different story and the male lead is in a very different position. I think they are a perfect match. She has the playfulness and joy he has desperately needs in that cold, distant palace.

And it's not like she's mean. She is still pretty principled, just willing to play dirty if that's what it takes. I love her relationship with her assistant and her willingness to go up against people "above" her. But she's also very real and quirky. Loved the part with her struting around in the hat, so proud!

Absolutely loving this so far. Beon Woo Seok if killing the repressed, tightly reigned in emotions that would be expected of royalty. And as always, he somehow makes a prideful egotist utterly charming, disarming, and occasionally lets his mask slip to show his genuine awkward sincerity. I think he's had a crush on her since their school days and is struggling with himself to keep his composure every time he's near her. Also, I think he was rejecting the marriage idea only because he really did want her to love him back, and because he didn't really want to subject her to the "queen mother".

As for IU, I had never seen her in anything before and didn't have any expectations for her. But She has pulled off making the girl boss not only likable, but identifiable. Loving it! I can't wait for him to win her over!

Also really love how the assistant just kind of accepted her at the hotel as a safe person with no real evidence. He just knew she could be trusted. Also love how he was like "I liked to see her go up against the queen mother". Looking forward to more.

Yeah, I feel like we missed something in the hotel room.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Does anyone have working links? The one below has been removed.

Thanks to both of you! I will plan to watch it soon then.

Did this have a happy ending for the main couple? Was it satisfying or lackluster?

Does anyone have a link? Youtube only has partials

Does anyone have any recommendations for another show with a feel similar to the beginning of this series? Like either a VR set in that time, or a funny mystery historical, or time travel?

I feel exactly the same! The game story line was so cool, I wish they'd spend more time there. Also, their back and forth banter and antics in the game was on fire!

Just finished. It was pretty good. I really like the 1st third of the series. It got a little laggy in the middle and then the angst of the breakup was super annoying. I kind of started to not like her around that time because her reasoning was not that great. It ended well enough, though. Overall, though, I wish they had spent more time in the VR world. Their chemistry was off the charts in that storyline. It was so cool.

I loved it! Wasn't the best mystery ever, but it did kind of make sense. But I thought the ML & FL relationship was very natural and genuine. And it was sweet. I am glad Laik found joy in singing again. Love that he became his own record company (I think that's what they getting at). honestly, wish they'd left that terrible manager behind, though. I liked that the last episode was all about closure and didn't feel rushed. The only thing that kept this from being a perfect 10 for me was that it didn't have hardly any comedy. Very dramatic and serious, which is fine. But I think the pacing would've been better with a bit more. Overall, though, very enjoyable!

It's totally the youngest band member. I always thought his giving the other guy an alibi was fishy, cuz that also gave him one.

I'd think it could be the ex girlfriend except she seemed ok with letting him go now. If she had killed a guy over getting him back (my assumption as to her motive) then she just wouldn't be ok with that.
