I get that the writer maybe using the sickness as a tool, but I think it's a wasted opportunity not to come up with a reason for her sickness. I don't like when non-leading characters are just used as NPCs and are only there to facilitate the leading characters' stories. There is room for everyone to shine, and the best dramas are the ones where every character has a story of its own.

She might be. I think it’s easy to poison anyone without actually serving them the food. For some reason they don’t do the testing for poison with silver spoon thing here or the court lady tester. When the king was getting poisoned, the prince was used as a tester for some reason. When he stopped testing, they got to him. Usually the king wouldn’t eat any food that wasn’t tested for poison.

I like how Sang Hyo is the only one who is very concerend about "Mong Woo" without actually knowing her identity or getting close to her. He is just a friendly human being with no hidden agenda.

Do you think the court lady is poisoning the queen in order to replace her? Even though she isn't the one serving her food, it's suspecious how everyone in her way to becoming a queen is always sick and dying.

The female lead is so stupid with so much confidence. This kind is like an active bomb to herself and everyone around her. I don't think she realizes how stupid she is or how weak her "strategies" are, because she gets magically saved every time her extremely bad ideas blow up in her face.

I enjoyed the first half, it became dull after that. Not many killings and it was focused more on the other characters. The oops I killed someone parts were really exciting and funny, reminded me of the first season of Fargo, wished it was all about that. I lost interest when it became like a job and the murders were happening in the background.

The revenge plot is just awful and pointless. The drama would've done better without. Why really? Either come up with a good reason for revenge or don't do it! It's all cliche anyways and no one is minding it, but to force all the cliches at once just for the sake of it, it's just bringing the drama down.

Yeah but even this is only explained at the end of the 4th episode. Before that you’d think he is just that lucky. Got to be careful when there’s only 8 episodes. The 4th episode in a 16-episode drama is not a spoiler but with only few episodes it is.

Doesn't the synopsis contain spoilers? I'm halfway through the drama but still haven't reached the part about the ability.

I don't think we knew her enough to judge if she deserved better. Of course no one deserves that ending. But I mean what good did she do to deserve a better ending than what was coming to her? We didn't even get a glimpse of her past life.

Very unlikable characters, it was hard to sympathize with any of them. Even the kids are annoying, and the supposedly nice nurse. It's surprising to me since I have no problem sympathizing with literally anyone. This movie didn't trigger any emotion from me except disgust. The CGI is bad. The story was somewhat enjoyable though. I wouldn't recommend it but I wouldn't recommend against it.

Why aren't they bringing back Hong Jin Ho? He was a delight.

The experts are assuming that what women want is "specs". They thought the only reason not so many women chose the dentist with wealthy parents who own a hospital is that "women thought he wouldn't go for them". Meanwhile, the expressions on the women's faces were like "That's good for you. So what?". Those women aren't here to hire this guy, all he revealed is how wealthy and successful he is. This is nothing if you have a bad personality. Relying on these things to attract women will only attract women who are in it for the money.

She knows his brother died at that time and he had to carry the weight of the nation on his shoulders. It would be very selfish to think that he would've had time for her.

Ratings on tvN and other cable channels are different. Because it is not public, the ratings are lower. This is considered very high(One of their highest rated dramas).

It doesn't matter. "Why didn't you fulfil your promise?" was the right next move. Not planning a dangerous scheme to take him down without even asking. Even if he answered "I couldn't", it would've been a good enough reason to not save them. The only wrong answer would've been "I wanted you dead" which is unlikely since she is still alive.

Isn't taking revenge on someone because they were late on saving another a bit extreme? That shows a hateful unforgiving personality, which is not a good look on a main character who is presented as being wise and nice.

Her friend dying wasn't a good enough reason to take revenge, he didn't kill her, he just didn't save her and he wasn't obligated to do that just because she asked him to. Myung Ha on the other hand was directly responsible for her friend's death. If anyone deserves revenge it's him.
Edit: I just got your comment. She wasn't mad at him when her father left. She knew it was her father's wishes. Also, he did it for the king and not just him. He knew he was somewhat responsible for sending a spy and the prince had nothing to do with it. It was the right thing to do and is his choice. She heard their conversation.

I think he is very entitled and selfish. He thinks he owned the female lead the moment he saw her. I don't like his aggressiveness or the way he constantly threatens her. He is awful.

I don't seem to get the female lead's intentions, maybe because I keep zoning out in the middle of watching, but what I know is that she knows Kim Myung Ha was the one who framed her, but she joined hands with him? If not to betray him at the end, it's a weird move to make. The king didn't really do anything bad to her except that he failed to fulfil a promise to her which is understandable, meanwhile that awful second male lead was the one who deserves all of her anger but she is treating him like nothing has happened. If she is really planning revenge on the king then she is the foolish person ever. Not because it's dangerous and totally not worth it but also because he didn't do anything to deserve it.
