omg imagine them in the same drama!

big mood xD

I mean, I've said this before, but I'm highly traumatized by the "suddenly turns into a cold blooded murder just for a twist" thing alot of movies do.. so when dried squid and miny baek told kyungie that characters lose their memories when they die in the shadow, I was just thinking "don't kill danoh or haru and make me hate you".. or don't kill yourself because it's the easier option...
but anyway, the moment he started crying because the idea of killing her came to his mind was powerful that I started crying with him... I mean it could be my interpenetration of the scene, but like in a world like theirs, the idea of killing in the shadow with a promise of them coming back seems easy, but like they are still people, and it's not a historical, so of course that idea scared him.. I mean if it was not a webtoon world, or like if he went by one person's statement and he easily killed her based on that, that'd have been disgusting and evil.... but like here it was kinda sad..
and THEN! the moment they showed a flashback while he was "trying" to kill danoh, I knew the last ep was the writer trying to throw us off, and I knew it was the moment of heartache baekkyung would feel when he knew about his past.. I was waiting for that, I was highly anticipating it too, and Lee Jae Wook did it perfectly! his last statement of "my character is still the same as the last story" was heartbreaking..

Lee Jae Wook killed it this ep! I started paying attention/enjoying this after reading skip beat, but like I LOVE that intense moment of conflicted emotions actors can portray.. that was breathtakingly beautiful, and exactly what I was waiting for..

the "good" thing about baekkyung is that he's not the typical incredibly good but always one step behind sls (like Do Hwa, who's a lucky one) or the obsessive 2nd lead with inferiority complex that lurks around the fl and pretend to be nice (like 3rd charm guy).. but like baekkyung is a crazy, sadistic person, and I love that depth ;)

my biggest fear was baekkyung seeing his past self... he must be devastated... but why do I feel like haru was the one who stabbed/killed danoh?! maybe that's what dried squid meant, if haru keeps trying to change the future, he'll end up being the one who kills danoh?
speaking of dried squid.. I did not miss the "atleast the writer didn't make her aware"! so it's true that the writer is making them that way?! now that's pure evil...

tbh, I watched this 10 months ago, so I don't really remember anything... and I think when I watched it, it had bad subs too, but still understandable ;)

lol reading my spoiler comment and your other comment I suddenly remember a little now xD

lol, for a second I confused Monster to Missing You (which has
Kim Sung Oh and Shim Eun Kyung) xD
Monster is in my ptw, so many dramas/movies so little time ;p

yes! that was frustrating though since it's a misunderstanding! I was like boy, say the father that raised me or something!!

that scene were nokdu turned the bow to his father's back as he heard the king talk about how he wants to kill him, that was powerful.. I was crying so hard..

lol ikr xD
I keep describing this drama as a cliche that works/has it's own flavor, it's like so many dramas use these tropes that we immediately feel annoyed when we see them. but if any drama gets a free pass for using it well, it'd be dramas like this ;)

Eh I can't take another high level angst that comes by eps 13-15 before the final resolution..
The problem is that both TTON and EY are going in the same pace so that's 4 eps of prefinal heartache in a row..

Glad you caught that ;p

I mean last ep dongjoo was great, but now suddenly she's back at the "I must leave you for your own benefit" but x2 because now she knows he'll get personally hurt?

nokdu did great though. he wants her to leave "for her own good", but he also can't let her go, and that was beautiful... but then he let her go when she said she's only worried he'll get hurt? like, that doesn't make sense...

and like, can they just talk it out! they basically want the same thing, the writer has got to stop making her a one woman assassin wanna be.. "I can't have people in my life for blah blah reason"..

AND, I mean, if he wants to make sure they don't catch her, he needs to go WITH her, and then TALK!

it's like nokdu is "aware" and he's trying hard to resist the writer's "forced" break up, but no one can win against evil writers...

omg the angst! it's a little too much, like the characters must hate the writer when they are in "the shadow" level angst! it's so frustrating, but I'm crying buckets here TT__TT

I started that drama after writing the article and I can't agree more xD atleast it highlights another part of WDH's great acting~

and thank you for enjoying this❤

back in the day after save me, I had to rewatch dramaworld just to find him xD

it's also like, the fl would act like her presence would hurt the guy more so she "selflessly" leaves, but then that just hurts both for no reason but for the writers to gain some empty eps ;)

also, they didn't even need to say anything, their silence and tears were enough to carry the whole message accros ;)

your dp is EVERYTHING! ;)

right? right! lol, we are too traumatized/used to dumb excuses, it feels so refreshing to see a couple that stands together, I hope nokdu finds out about dongjoon's burden too and they can rely and each other T_T

I'll mark this as a spoiler because it might reveal the ending, but dongjoon wins female lead of the year!
how many female leads hide and cry on their own and leave when they discover a truth like this? I never got that, but dongjoon went right to him, because she "knows" him, because she trust him and because she most probably knows he's hurt too!!! he said that thingy was his mom's and she saw the queen searching for it, so she knows that nokdu knows that he's the king's son.. my poor babies T_T

nokdu and dongjoon are too soft and precious for all of this sadness/evilness :(
I'm crying so hard, poor babies deserve all of the happiness in the world TT__TT
