I do not think ppl here have issue. I have not seen single homophobic comment, the reason why for example I have…
I think it’s more so for the comments not liking the cross dressing aspect-wanting Lee In to find out sooner/already know that’s Mong Woo is a girl, which is not the case for this drama.
But yep, we’re definitely going to get some political drama/angst for ep 8. Seems like Queen Dowager wants to appease the public’s sentiments about Lee In’s sexuality/liking men by having Lady Dong sleep with Lee In 🤣☹️
For ep 8 preview, seems like there’s a rumor of Lee In being attracted to a man. And the Queen Dowager wants to put a stop to it by having Lady Dong sleep with him? And that’s why Hee Soo is sad because she knows she has to cut ties with her feelings for Lee In. I think she gets drunk & Lee In finds her. They are alone together & that’s where Hee Soo as Mong Woo kisses Lee In as hinted by the preview photos 🤣🤭
I know it’s been said many times already but Jo Jung Seok’s acting is just way too good here. He emote with his eyes too damn well!🔥 I hope he gets more offers to play in deep melodrama as the lead role in the future.
For all those saying in the comments that the King must know that the player is a woman because apparently they…
Yep! Shin Se Kyung mentioned that she spent most of her time as Mong Woo & she also liked Lee In & Mong Woo chemistry more. As of ep 7 (& probably ep 8) Lee In still doesn’t know that Mong Woo is a women.
"You dislike me." "No, Your Majesty." "I do. I... like you, Mong-woo."
The rain confession scene at the end OMG was everything. 🤭💕💕💕💕🌈 The moment Lee In enters the gate walking towards Mong Woo. The way it’s in the rain. The sentimental memories of them when they first played baduk together. I love how Lee In said no fear or disgrace will stop him. He is so confident in his INTENSE feelings for Mong Woo. 😭🫠💕
I know this has been mentioned before, but I just want to say how much in awe I am of the caliber of acting our…
Jo Jung Seok acting is mesmerizing here. Great micro expression & nuance approach that heighten’s Lee In’s character & personality. The way he moves every fiber & muscle on his face. I can feel the depth of his emotions. Also his gaze! He acts very well with his eyes. His body gesture & mannerism is visually appealing. I love the energy that he’s bringing onscreen. It’s commanding & vibrant.
Here’s a snippet of a scene (must’ve been from conference showcase clip?)
I assume it will happen in the second half of the drama. Lee In says “ I missed you” which means to me Lee In & Mong Woo were separated or weren’t together for some reason? I want to know what happen!
A historical drama with mostly female casts! I'm so excited to see this one.
Yes me too. My most anticipated kdrama this year. Everyone looks amazing. I’ve always wanted a period-all female-women centric story kdrama like this! 💕
Well that's disappointing. It's frustrating how kdrama writers these days take so few risks. They have to follow…
I want to see Lee In & Mong Woo confess/kiss before her reveal as a woman/Hee Soo 🤭 Atleast I know now that Lee In have obvious feelings for Mong Woo (as a man). Bisexual King 🌈😌
But yeah, I will ignore the obvious makeup/style direction for Mong Woo so I can fully engage watching the show lol. It is distracting but it is what it is lol.

Have you’ve seen Splash Splash Love? It’s a short movie special with the premise you’re looking for.
There is The Long Ballad. It’s a costume c-drama. The ML knows that the FL is a woman from the getgo but the FL is not aware of it. But it’s not really a secret to the audience though.

I’m sure men hug eachother (be it familial, friendship, or love). But for this particular scene, Lee In is definitely jealous seeing them hug lol 🤣

Seems like Lee In & Mong Woo will be traveling together.
