Hyun Bo is garbage. He’s a terrible brother 😒

I’m actually excited for the beard. I watched several trailers & he looks really good in it 🤣🤭

I love the conversation scene between Chief Kang (HeeSoo dad) & HeeSoo. Son Hyun Joo is such a terrific actor 🥹 so much emotions in his eyes. He plays tragic fathers really well.

Yeah! The makeup is off putting but I’m just going to ignore it so I can freely enjoy this drama 🤣

This drama is about revenge & cross dressing. HeeSoo becomes a spy later on. There will be a lot of deceiving happening lol. Jin Han did mention that Mong Woo might have secrets so he may be slightly aware that Mong Woo is not speaking to him truthly. But he is still curious & interested in Mong Woo.

Yes he gives off bisexual vibes 🤭
He’s a grand prince-soon-to be king. He can like whoever he wants, be it a man, woman, or both!

Myung Ha says that women parading in men’s clothing is a punishable crime & it would impact HeeSoo father’s reputation if she’s discovered. No woman (especially a noble woman with HeeSoo status) would think of dressing up as a man because of severe consequences. Thats why no one questions Mong Woo’s identity. Sure they could make SSK appear as a man more (tone down the makeup & whatnot) but Jin Han sees Mong Woo as a man, not a woman.

“Yes, I do. I do not simply like him. I am very fond of him.”

Jin Han words about Mong Woo 🥹🤭💖

Right! Jin Han doesn’t not know that Mong Woo is a woman. He likes Mongwoo & see Mong Woo as a friend (who is man) because he was the person who trusted Jin Han. Jin Han is obviously attracted to Mong Woo.

Men can like eachother, even as good friends & romantically!

Yeah! Jin Han is already attracted to Mong Woo 🤭

Excited to see when he realizes Mong Woo is HeeSoo.💖

So he can continue playing baduk with her 🤭

Pre release cut from ep 3
Jin Han meets up with Chief Kang (Hee Soo dad) at his home estate where he cross path with HeeSoo. He doesn’t see her face 🤣

Yeah her diction is really good! She has a clear concise way of speaking. Which is perfect for historical dramas. Just an observation of her acting I noticed certain bits.

You perfectly describe my thoughts on SSK. I do like her here. I don’t think she’s bad. She has good/clear diction. I think some of her expressions doesn’t hit the way it should? It’s only been 2 ep so my opinions about her might change later on.

JJS really has an electrifying aura as Jin Han. My eyes are glued to him. He acts with his face very well & his diction-line delivery is great!

Yes! I think we’ll find out this week.

Their interactions are so good 🤭💖 I can feel the depth of their gazes especially from Jin Han. He is so mesmerized & attracted to Mong Woo. I wanted to watched all the trailers to see more. I can assure you that the scene of them almost kissing is very sizzling ❤️ Jin Han & Mong Woo gazing at eachother is swoon-worthy but bittersweet.

Yes, I think he will eventually know her real identity once she enters the court. This drama gives me Royal Nirvana vibes. Hopefully it won’t be as heartbreaking as that drama. I know I will get mad & sad watching this since HeeSoo & Jin Han will end up on opposing sides. But I love the yearning & angst! 🤣🥲

I watched most of the teasers available and I'm curious about the timeline? Jin Han takes the thrown (he has a beard) which means there is a gradual timeskip? Jin Han is still friends with HeeSoo when she’s Mong Woo by then? When the revenge take place, HeeSoo would have to leave since she will be trained by Master Chu? I'm not sure if her father gets killed or maybe imprisoned? I hope nothing happens to Hong Jang.

I looked at the character profile & it seems like Court Lady Dong has a thing for Jin Han. Jin Han & HeeSoo are opposing & affection. Myung Ha seems like he’ll be helping HeeSoo as a friend but he also likes HeeSoo. In one of the trailer Jin Han says ‘Mong Woo, I like you’ 🤭💖 In another trailer they almost kiss/Jin Han puts his hand on HeeSoo cheek (dressed as Mong Woo)

I don’t think it was clear either?It seems like he was not taking his medicine lately until Jin Han came back & told him to take it. So I’m thinking that he was sick. If he was poisoned, I think they would have done a thorough investigation beforehand.

I checked what kind of disease makes fingers rot & maybe the King has Buerger disease?

You’re welcome!

I think for now He only see her as Mong Woo, a man. But we shall see this week!

The brother is sick because he hasn’t been taking his medicine. I think his brother will become severely ill (maybe die?) which makes Jin Han the next to succeed to the throne.
