Misunderstandings were finally unknotted in today's episode. What's next for the King is to deal with his evil uncle, his secret, and the fall out of MW's disguise. So far he was in control and on top of everything. Not so sure how he could protect her. Stay tune
I'm waiting for the weekend. Hope it's getting better as the 2 eps last Sunday were a dud, a complete disappointment. We had a watch party and at the end we were like, hm that was it? 😒
A lot of complaints about FL's acting. And no, constructive criticisms are not equating to hate or bashing. The actress has been in a lot of high profile dramas. So I assume she has to be great to be casted, or k-dramas are like c-dramas where look triumps acting? She's beautiful for sure. However, her acting is limited and it's just obvious in this drama where the ML's acting is second to none. The King's eyes, facial expressions are like he wants to eat her. But her face shows nothing, just teary eyes. It's like the King falls in love with a beautiful robot or mannequin 🤣 . Other cast's acting is better than hers IMO. Take the Court Lady for example, she creeps me out when she's on screen with her murderous looks. Or the Grand Prince, I tear up when he cries whereas I feel nothing with constant teary eyes of the FL
The last 2 eps are boring. There's not much going on between the leads as we expected. I mean like glass half full. The story shifted to palace politic. And the FL didn't even have much screen time at all. And I don't really care about her revenge plot. There is no logic, merit in it.
Hinted through out the drama until the rain confession, the whole episode 8 showed how deep the feelings the King has for MW as a man to a man. But then, it's as far as the drama can go about same sex romance I guess, and so has to reveal her identity. Or else what's next? They can't show the King trying to intimate with MW, can they? kissing or hugging or whatever 🤣
Are you saying that if she had not kissed him he still would not have harmed her?
I think so. He's so in love with him/her that I doubt he would follow through with his threat to kill her. As for her, she knew he has feeling for her but I doubt she knew if the feelings are deep enough that he would spare her. Kissing him was like she herself expressing her feelings and also hope the mutual affection would be strong enough that he spares her life and protect her. Just my thoughts.
For these cross-dressing dramas, either the woman reveals her identity herself or certain behaviors giving away her identity. This drama falls into the latter. What would the King do to her? Stay tune. I still think the last wish kiss was a brilliant move from her. Dressing like a man, deceiving the King and the entire Court is probably one of the biggest offenses. With her head hanging in the balance, giving the King the taste of love would save her, maybe that what she hoped for. We know for sure he would never harm her.
Ah, she's scheming alright. Kissing him as the last wish was like sealing the deal. Made it impossible for him to kill her. We know he wouldn't since he's deeply in love with he/her and didn't even try to hide that fact. Still, I'm skeptical about a happy ending for them. They have too many enemies.
what the King's reaction would be when her identity is revealed? Let speculate either he would be falling deeper in love? or love turns resentment, turns hate... how dare you fool me all this time? something along the line.
The King went crazy, turning the palace upside down whenever there was a Mong Woo the last 3 years. If not love then what else feeling he had for Mong Woo, regardless he thinks MW is a man or woman or whatever. The confession is a love confession IMO. There is nothing wrong with being gay.
Grr, I'm so f*ing annoyed now, the cross-dressing goes on. I mean, forget about her cross-dressing look believable or not. Certain behaviors toward men would give away her identity. Take C-drama Lost you forever for example, ML knew FL that he was a she right away when she got shy seeing him with his shirt off up close.
Remember in the kings affection... Great drama same there she feel for Prince/King as a man too. I had absolutely…
Well, it was hard for me to believe PEB as a man too. Her tiny frame and her female facial feature are not believable either. However, she owned that role. She acted like a crown price would act or a King would act. And that overshadowed the cross-dressing thing, making us forget that she was a woman . That's is what this FL is missing. She dresses like a man but she doesn't act like one.

Other characters are great even the little Grand Prince.
