As long as there's no touching, I'm in.

So what's to stop them from going back to the future and have JBH meet the King (presumably as a woman this time) and have it all start again in a period where they could get their happy ending?

Was KSH's "older brother" KBI (was she addressing him with a honorific) or did she have a real brother who eventually got out of the picture? I think I remember she was an only child and her mother died giving birth to her.

If it was KBI... does that mean he helped indirectly save the King a long, long time ago in another galaxy, far far away? The plot thickens. He definitely would remember that part, wouldn't he?

I love KSH... and I think JBG's male part of the soul they're sharing slowly goes away. That was a hot kiss, and she kept going back for more, lol.

An anti-fan! And he's her anti-fan, too. I love these two, they're hilarious.

What did the Chief Cook try to give Lady Choi? Something really expensive and rare that she probably threw away because he's so clumsy in offering it? :D These two, also :DDD

This drama just keeps getting better.

Oh shit. She's not coming back, is she?

... Dammit.

& @allancarreon: I guess it's a case of personal preference then, and the series still isn't catching me yet. I'll keep watching for a few more episodes, just in case. Thanks for your replies.

The only time there was some serious romantic interest shown was the very first episode, with Bun drunk out of his mind kissing Tan. And then there were some looks and not much else. They ended up living together for so long with not much reason (if Bun was so afraid of being attacked again, he would have found some other arrangement but he chose to stay with a person he doesn't know much about and whom he suspects from time to time. Why?)

I am new to this pairing. I get it that they're an established pair, according to Thai BL "rules", but if someone - like me - didn't know that, the fact that they seem to be already together when nothing much of a romantic nature happened between them in this series is rather unsatisfying.

Re: the hot scene being random. There's no previous tension in the scene before Tan starts kissing Bun. They're literally ready to open the laptop and look at it. What adrenaline? What tension?

I haven't read the novel... but the interesting TV series opening promised a bit more. Or at least I was expecting a bit more.

I'm not giving up yet, but I hope something changes in the future - in the editing, or the script, or something.

so effing random. One moment they're breaking into some policeman's car as if it was nothing, all set up to find out who was involved in the killings, the next they're having sex.

This series just isn't gelling for me, it's all random scenes thrown together that don't make a lot of sense. I get it, it's supposed to be a mystery, but so far the storytelling has been pretty sub-par. Is the novel the same random tale?

That scene...

He went from stealing-mode to killing-mode pretty fast, didn't he? Particularly as he recognized the king.

LOL, Kim Hwan's list of Why You Shouldn't Pine for Your Own Cousin (who is the Queen and already married). I could see all the hits landing on KBI. All his HP went down to negative numbers so fast :D

Who the f is the assassin and who sent him... for whom, too? Was he trying to kill the queen or the king?

I have this suspicion he's prince Yeongpyeong... But why would he?...

And let's hear it for the manly contest of getting blind drunk. So much testosterone in that scene LOL. I want the king and KBI to become fast friends. Can I have that, please?

I LOVE it that Mr manager (I guess he's the only one I can't remember the name of) didn't erase Moon's memories. That would have been pretty stupid, considering everybody's out there baying for his blood, from Mayor's son to Mayor to Level 3 evil spirit.

But did he also get to keep some powers? Could he have fought off the Mayor son's clique before if he had the courage? He's not controlling the territory YET, but he seems pretty anchored on what's going on, the only thing that reasonably changed is that Moon lost the fritzy hair and superpowers. For now.

That preview - and the ending to this episode... Dammit. I was afraid the Mayor was going to attack him somehow, but to see him used as bait for the rest of the gang by the freaking evil spirits... That's tough.

I need the next episodes NOW.

Are there only 6 episodes left? T_T

As an aside, I really appreciate they returned to the original ending song, Isaac Hong's "Close Your Eyes". Much more dramatic than the one playing for the past two episodes or so.

EDIT & PS: I LOLed hard at people on the Counter-wannabe list turning down the offer to get wounded, lose their families, keep secrets forever and risk losing their souls just to help catch evil spirits in the name of Heavens. That should teach the Yung administration to cherish the ones who DID accept, more. People like Moon. Just sayin'.

LPT: never EVER start watching an ongoing drama. Never.

Did I mention you shouldn't start watching a drama while it's airing? That impedes your tendency to binge-watch it once it's over and gets your stress levels through the roof. And that's bad.

This ends my TED talk.

Too bad now he had to reveal his underlying power and authority to someone who doesn't like him that much, and by the way, was the traitorous lady-in-waiting there in the corridor, too? That's not good in the long run.

In an episode mostly lacking the queen's antics, this moved along... surprisingly well. That goes to show there are more ongoings than her fish-out-of-the-water story. And the ending is quite serious - will there be a turning toward a more politic/social unrest story besides the utter comedy of a contemporary man being in an historical queen's body?...

Questions:

How come no one in the modern times noticed JBH's eyes were open and he kept blinking? Is that normal for people in a vegetative state?

Is it me, or are JBH and KSH's memories getting mixed again? That would mean they will eventually end up being one person/conscience or something... I don't know how to feel about that. I love JBH's flashy moves, and KSH's background would make her a serious, colder person. But then there's that well that was shown in the ending and the preview - does it have any special meaning for KSH?!

Is it me or are there some BL thrown in for good measure, too?! Those two men - and their third wheel the lady-in-waiting - are so cute, LOL. But I doubt the producers dare go there. I'll have to wait and see.

Also, why are the episodes getting shorter? T_T I don't mind 1:20h long eps. Gimme more of this, please!

Okay that was intense. Move away, queen's cousin, she is HIS woman. Loved that scene.

Err, the Inca Empire? Like for example (shortish Incan tale of the La Conquista follows) Pizzaro was going to ransome Atahualpa, the last Inca Emperor, for a room full of gold, but he killed him before it was filled anyway. That didn't stop anyone believing there was gold to be had in the Inca Empire, and that lead to numerous legends of lost gold treasures or even, eventually, an entire city of gold, the El Dorado.

It's just JBH not being sure if he didn't end up time-slipping into some other exotic place, lol, after his brief return to his normal world.

They're going to strip Moon of his powers (and memory?) right after everybody has learned who he is. Great, what can I say.

Are they going to fix all the rest of the people's memories? Or just leave him hanging out to dry?

I actually like Bo Wang quite a lot by now. It suddenly hit me, why this person is supposed to be the ML, LOL.

On the other hand, MZX is starting to be really, really useless. Even Bao Na is better than her, and she's not even in the picture much. Even 4th Prince is more important to the story, and he also is not much in it.

The overall politics plot is starting to get on my nerves, it's like none of these people are actually all that invested in keeping or bettering their respective countries. The worst is Chu Kui, who is turning into a rambling madman (what the hell was that scene where he was threatening to kill his 4th son in order to make the ghost of his 1st son do... something?!) And then there's the Jin King who's using the same idiotic approach of killing him to make him stronger on his son, Ju Yao/Ji Chong...

These guys are all idiots, up to and including the leads. But at least Bo Wang and Ji Chong are looking cool while being idiots, LOL, which sadly can't be said about Zhai Xing. She's just hysterical for no reason and then once in a while she's using her brain, too rarely to count. And she had such a good beginning.

That scene where JC is walking on the roof, paralleling his father's walk on the ground is amazing. One thing that is consistent throughout the series is the cinematography. I absolutely love the hell out of it. And you can JUST see how majestic and awesome it would all have turned out if they kept the censoring to a minimum...

Seriously, there's the whole supernatural underplot that makes NO sense the way it's edited... So sad about that.

On episode 34....

Yes, it's obvious the club was in his imagination, he just thought she was doing - in his own time, using his body - what he's trying to do in Joseon, using her body, LOL.

But since from the preview it looks like his body is in a coma, she's probably not there, inhabiting it. Is she still somewhere in her own body/mind? Or is she gone completely?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
