i think i heard about this one, i'll check it out! thank you!

but like. why would he think it? y'all are like "oh this oh that blah blah" but like. what possible reason would he have to think mongwoo was a woman? why would that have even crossed his mind? he didn't even consider his feelings as romantic until rumors started up, so why would he have thought something else no one had ever wondered?

"he had to remove all the layers" answers everyone's question of "how didn't he know". she literally bound her chest + had like three different layers of thick clothing. how y'all magically expect him to "know" is beyond me.

and lastly, this is a show that set this up as their plotline. they literally establish that even torture didn't reveal her secret. so why expect ANYTHING else to, except when they finally decide to. okay, it may be silly, but that is the show. suspension of disbelief is a thing.

this show gives me the same buzz like bloody heart. i watched and tried other historicals but unfortunately haven't loved any besides bloody heart, the king's affection, and this. though i realized the more comedic ones def aren't the ones for me. can someone rec any more like this?

he's in love with her and asked to court her/her hand in marriage but she declined

omg i haven't thought of that! now it's def her or his mother

exactly! what gets me in some of the comments is how many expect revenge to be rational. why should it? when is it? she is lead by her feelings and what you explain, she doesn't need more than that. "she's a hypocrite" - what human being isn't?

the first two only set it all up trust me it's at its best the deeper you get into it

i just presumed she binds her chest and isnt really held that close - when she pushes him away i presumed that, as she was resting and not dressed for the day that she did not bind which is why had he held her close then he would have known.

i think since the show set up that she is not found out during torture, it's definitely believable she's not found out by someone simply holding her somewhat close

well happy new year to me!!!!

she's a solid actress and i like her but she cannot pick projects to save her life. the glory only got popular bc unhinged revenge stories always do

this drama was so bad i still get flashbacks

but that's just an assumption and imo in canon they have mhok literally admit and say he thought day couldn't live without his help (ie a blind person needing the help of him as a seeing person specifically) so it was bc of his blindness and the even ifs are irrelevant bc they didn't happen

and to add: the mistake of not telling him is bc he knew how day would take his decision bc he knew he was doing it for reasons that would anger him. a person confident in his choice or making a choice for the right reasons wouldn't be ashamed to say the truth

you can kinda tell night looked at his phone after getting out of the car before asking day to go in, you see him putting his phone away. but i think bc of the shock value they kind of ended up writing themselves some slight holes in the plot

imo they should have just had him be blind, getting back his sight was completely unnecessary both plot and character-wise especially after one failed cornea transplant already. he did not need his sight for a happy ending. felt like the writer had some ableist connotations while trying to tie everything nicely in a bow - which is ironic seeing as this is one of the rare shows to do a quality job with disability rep. a rare critique for the show

this was my critique for the episode too! i don't live with a disability, but the trope of disabled characters needing to be "fixed" in their happy ending is so tiring to me atp

it was insanely refreshing to see female characters too lol

they don't say it bluntly so i will: mhok's lying was rooted in ableism. and that was what day couldn't forgive, because what if they're back together and he resorts to these ableist prejudices once again. yes, it was out of good intentions, but it was still negative. as he says, he fell into the thinking that day NEEDED him in order to have a full, happy life and that he essentially couldn't be without mhok - which is rooted in ableism, bc these would not have been his reasons if day could see. it wasn't "i don't want to leave you bc i love you" it was actually "i don't want to leave you bc you're blind".

imo, the ending cheapens this whole thing a bit, but that was the mistake

a truly perfect show except i am saddened that once again another story with disability at its center has to conclude by "magically fixing" the disability. i worried this would happen and thought they had pleasantly surprised me and had decided against this trope, only to be proven right in the end. i just feel like it's so harmful to send this message that true happiness is only achieved when you're back to living without a disability. seeing comments like "omg day can FINALLY see again" is actually disheartening. they did try to diffuse this by having him have a happy, fulfilled life as a person with a disability in the three years he was living blind, but it feels cheapened by the ending. luckily, they had shown us happy blind characters, so the damage isn't distressing, i did appreciate many qualities the show brought and how it handled this subject - but this element of the ending is disheartening. you can be blind AND get your fairytale ending!

loved this one so much, the hate really isn't deserved imo

lmao exactly

thank you!
