yes. the pond spirit was carrying the child of the late king (father of king jusang) and the royal guard was forced to make a false confession that the child was his own.

yes. the king poisoned his brothers (although I'd say the plot was planned by his mother) to become king.

the most favored lady never gave birth to a child. She killed herself before she could give birth, but she herself did curse the royal bloodline in her own way. Also note that the most favored lady's story was from the generation of the queen dowager even before the deaths of the princes 30 years ago (i won't give a spoiler on the thing 30 yrs ago). So even if she did not die and actually gave birth to a child, that child would be older than King Jusang/be one of the older siblings of King Jusang

finished the drama but went on 2x speed and skipped some parts. Anyone know why prince iksang's son didn't die despite eating the poisoned candy? As well as why the King did not die after eating the candy he supposedly poisoned? Like i thought it was established that he with his mother's help killed his two brothers, the doctor who provided the poison, etc. and also later on his wife/saeng gang's mother? Also did the king's mother move into the palace at the end? and why did prince iksang kill the shaman??

Isn't he in guest role/ special appearance because his cfans were fighting with zy's cfans cause zy got first billing & they could not accept that so production had to list him as not a main role? (I'm not a fan of any of them, just what I recall)

Would you say so far from ep 1-2 that your theory on the queen dowager causing it 30 years ago is correct?

less than 2 weeks left....can't wait!

from what I'm understanding, ep 7-8 clarifies that he most likely is still a 2D character and that the main leads assumed wrong. (ex: how the assassination attempt went poorly, how Prince Duan had no clue about Bei Er being a martial artist, etc.)

Happy birthday to the best actress! 🤩 🎂🎉

rip why does this drama have to air in fall right when school starts T-T hoping at least the first few eps air before september

she is so stunning both then and now! She was mainly a theatre actress in her 20s so there isn't much media of her back then, but if your interested in seeing her works in her early 30s, i'd recommend watching any early 2000s jang jin films, hello ghost (trust me this film is amazing), hansel and gretel, or one of these two kbs special episodes (no english sub but she's the main character in them so worth the watch)

2. Hot Tempered Misook (2007): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmQbx1rDYVk
also pics of her in her 20s, she's so gorgeous: https://www.huffingtonpost.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=113767
I hope she can land more main roles in good dramas because she really does have both the acting and the beauty.

I’m so desperate, i need to know where to watch this 😭 is it still only playing in korean film festivals?

Just watched ep 7/8 prevew…wdym miji/mirae’s mom and ms rosa got into a fight?! 😭 in what way are they related?!

I wouldn't go as far as saying she is a shitty human being. She definitely cares for both her daughters, except her methods of expressing concern for them are not always the best. A redeeming point about her in ep6 imo is when she asks the vice principal/her neighbour for help with miji. She is aware of her shortcomings as a mother hence asking for help, and she's very concerned about miji, i mean even her neighbour thinks she is overreacting. While she does have her rude remarks possibly out of jealousy, etc. it's clear she still cares for the neighbour as a friend such as her gesture of making jeon in the first ep for the neighbour's husband's death anniversary. Ofc she's far from perfect, frankly her comment about how people with issues carry them everywhere is reflective of herself, but she does have good to her. A really shitty mom/person in general would give up on their children/ignore them because why would you make the effort to wake them up in the morning, reprimand them, provide your opinion, etc. unless you're concerned enough for their wellbeing to give a shit.

i wonder if kim rosa and the twin's grandmother have any connection. ngl the grandmother has a lot of wise quotes anyways so maybe she's the poet?

given up on this drama atp. i can't even bother to check youku drama lineups anymore. 😭 can't think of why they gave up on this drama. The only possible "scandal" i know of was when someone posed as a staff and said the ml was late to filming but i think ppl found out later that the person wasn't ever part of the drama crew. Don't think that would be enough to delay the drama this long...

if you want to see more of them you should watch "find me in your memory." They are also a couple in that show and their dynamic is much lighter and funny + they're childhood sweethearts too

In tvn’s character introduction it says they’ve been friends since high school.

Sui Feng Qi Wu although it is a sad pairing for various reasons I won't spoil.

subbed version is out now!
