Right? I would never have expected the ending to 4 after watching 1 and 2, but before they kissed I was like "if these were two real people who had just experienced all those things together they'd kiss right now" and WHAM. Pleasantly surprised.

I felt the same about him after the first week, but they show a lot more depth with his character in 3 and esp 4, you start to understand what matters to him and what he values. He becomes very charming. Like after ep 4 I feel like he is really nailing the role

Episode 3 and 4 were so good, you should def continue with it at least through 4

OMG DONT SCARE ME

- I don't think Jaeyeol has feeling for the secretary and her actions are so disrespectful, like kissing him, trying to hold his hand, etc, even after he made clear it was unwanted, it's low key sexual harassment and she needs to stop. If it was him doing that to her we would be calling him a creeeep.
- Omg James was actually a legit solid actor, right? Probs best english speaking actor I've seen in a K drama.
- The clip captured Ki Jun's charm so much, it was just so simple but so romantic, and you can see why she couldn't help but fall for him.
- There was such insane sexual tension between Ki Jun and In Ah the entire episode, I was sure we'd get a fake out at the end, but it was so refreshing they acted like two normal adults would in the same situation (I mean maybe minus destroying all the artwork in the room lol)

I feel the same, really loving this drama after this week!

I find it refreshing from other k dramas that pretend like the leads never even looked at someone of the opposite sex before the drama started. It's actually quite mature that they can still be friends after dating. It's good for them, too, as neither of them have much support.

Episode 3 and 4 were absolutely WILD. This show went from being one I'd check out if I had time to the one I will now look forward to each week.

Shin Hae Sun is of course acing the role, but I am REALLY loving Gong Myung in this (first thing I've seen him in). His earnestness is so charming, I love how much he wears his heart on his sleeve, and he is a great foil for the extremely guarded/mask-wearing In ah . Also he is playing the comedy pitch perfect. I laughed so hard at his reaction to seeing her at the art class, His SHOOK face and that slow turn and walk was hilarious.

I come after every ep and scroll down a bit and comment on what I see but I can only get to like the past hour or two's comments before I'm done Idk how anyone could see all of them that would be dedication

Idk why by I feel a little sus that she insisted going to the palace with HJ. They haven't even given any hints that she is behind anything but man this poisoning got me suspecting everyone

I feel like I-AN took it out of his own guilt, like it made him feel better to have some sort of punishment since he feels he failed HJ. The father is such a hypocrite tho, he didn't even stay with HJ until she woke up he just ordered her brother to stay. I honestly hate her dad and I'm not sure he really cares about her that much at all. I feel like he slapped I-AN more because he felt slighted by what happened to his daughter than out of actual love for his daughter.

SAME. I keep thinking of someone we've seen that could be the true culprit, but I can only think of HJ's father

Yeah their reactions are too real. They're not actors in the show like they are IRL lol

That would be such a good twist. The prince was the only one that didn't seem surprised, so maybe??

I wish they'd have been a bit more creative with how it came out rather than them just having the contract just laying around like... cmon. But I don't mind that them being in a contract marriage came out to the public, cause it is the consequences of what they've done by faking being a real couple. So better it get out now and deal with it as a team. And it'll make HJ have to accept her feelings for the prince, I just realllly hate noble idiocy so I hope she doesn't go too far into that before she snaps out of it.

I really liked BWS's performance this episode, he's doing a really great job embodying the dignity and aura of a prince while also showing how often he feels powerless underneath it all. When he yelled that anyone who hurts her will suffer his wrath I got chills, and I teared up a little bit while he was crying over her after she woke up.

He looks fine literally every moment of every day proof god loves some people more T,T

I'm glad the contract is out I was worried they'd save that for the last week, there are a million ways this rumor could have spread to the public, and I am annoyed they had a written contract laying around. But it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would because they were kinda playing with fire by making this arrangement and keeping it secret, and this will force HJ to accept and own her true feelings.

I feel like there is a lot more going on than it seems with the poisoning, because every convo between the Queen Mother and her father or her main aide is ambiguous and could be interpreted many ways. I think her concern with the police being there was that they might discover something about the edict, I think they're a red herring for the prince's poisoning.

A lot of people see the world as black and white, they can't understand that morality is shades of grey in everyone, including themselves. This script handles the subject matter with a lot of thought and honesty, it's not just about some illicit erotic romance, it really digs deep into the psyche of the characters. It's a shame so many people just aren't brave enough to even engage with it.

I know you can't let this go because you want to convince yourself that whatever ex cheated on you must be miserable now, but they are definitely way better off, judging by this absolutely unhinged word salad. Yikes.

Bruh, sorry someone cheated on you once, but go write a mean letter to your ex rather than taking out your anger on internet strangers like this. This is the real world. It's not black and white morally. There are shades of grey. Nothing is as clean as you're pretending it is, even if you wish life was like that.

This show explores that grey area. If that's too mature for you, fine, but going on rages like this is weird and isn't gonna make you feel better.
