On Ep14 and I really hope Da Jun and Dang Yu don't end up together, although I know it's a common trope for them to be a couple in the end. Ugh. I despise when dramas like depicting this stalker relentless courting behavior as romantic. Just couldn't stand all of Da Jun's scenes. His parents are also unbearable, especially his mother.

Really love the part where they shared one breakfast and took the bus together!!!! SUPER CUTE!!!!

Yea, she was too materialistic for my liking. She was also making stereotypical demands on ML, which I thought were ridiculous.

The choppy bits were part of the reason, but for me it was more about the way FL and ML were introduced. Like their personalities and perspectives on life. I'm not saying it was bad, it just wasn't to my taste. For example I didn't like the way they handled certain situations or the way they treated the other person.

But as I learned more about them, I felt that they weren't so bad and I hope to understand them better. :D

Yea, I was glad she left too, but honestly, I thought she was also actually quite fun to have around for that short time because her creating chaos meant more chances for the leads to grow closer to each other. 😆

I got a little annoyed with her, but she actually wasn't that bad. At least she was genuinely apologetic when she accidentally soaked the house. It's not like she was denying it like a spoiled brat or acted entitled. ML lashing out on her calling her stupid was really uncalled for. I'd dump his a$$ too if he were my boyfriend. LOL

Honestly, the first two episodes were quite iffy for me because of the four characters' actions and choices. It was understandable and I'm not saying it's wrong to want what FL initially wanted, but ngl, I was irked by it especially knowing how big of a jerk her ex was. ML's ex also was getting on my nerves, though I wouldn't say ML was faultless either. I guess they just weren't meant to be because they seemed to be on different frequencies. At least his ex wasn't terrible like FL's ex.

But once I got to Ep3, things took a better turn. The FL was prioritizing herself more and knew where to draw the line. She was no pushover even though she's really sweet. Both FL and ML's exes were out of their lives and we got to learn more about the leads, which was nice. It honestly became so much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing FL get back on her feet and build her career.

Omg this makes so much sense! I was watching it trying to figure out how it happened thinking it was reincarnation coz that's what the story hinted all along especially with Segye. But if what happened between Seori and Danshim was just soul swapping and no reincarnation, then it actually makes more sense to me.

Of course, Seori could have still been a reincarnation of Danshim, but their timelines intersected, while it should've been moving in separate parallel lines like the crown prince and Segye's life, or the king and Mundo's life.

This drama is seriously SO GOOD. Haven't been feeling most romance k-dramas this year and was only interested in a few. And out of the ones I've watched so far, this sits at the top of my list. Also, Se Gye might seem like the domineering type at first, but he's so not the typical annoying type. In fact, I don't think he's even that domineering at all. Perhaps more...assertive? I also think it's coz Seo Ri doesn't like being dominated, and Se Gye has just fallen so bad for her that he listens to her all the time. I really love both Seo Ri and Se Gye's personalities. They're both actually quite similar.

The ending of Ep10 really hurts. I hope we won't have to suffer in Ep11 😫😫😫

Omg out of the four leads plus SML's wife, they all need therapy except for Ki Jun. 😩😩

In Ah and Ki Jun had strong chemistry going on for me in the beginning, but once her past with Jae Yeol was revealed, I feel that her chemistry with Jae Yeol overshadowed it a little, albeit this messed up relationship between them now. I hope Shin Hae Sun and Kim Jae Uck get to play a couple in a different drama as the main main leads!

Back to this drama, I really like Ki Jun's confident and honest approach. He's the opposite of In Ah, and helps In Ah learn to let light into her life. Jae Yeol, on the other hand, is just like In Ah. They both had lots of emotional baggage, and both failed to recover from it and eventually let it ruin their relationship instead.

In Ah is lucky to have met Ki Jun, but Jae Yeol is probably gonna be stuck there for a while. I would honestly HATE to see him pair up with the secretary because she's sticking her nose too much in his business and constantly bringing up how she likes him, like she's guilt tripping him or something. She should move on as well. Stop being so hung up on a married man who's also a mess himself. And she's a pot for calling out Jae Yeol for being hung up on his ex.... 🙃

Anyway, I think In Ah and Jae Yeol's relationship could've worked out if they actually fought for each other. But they didn't, so now we're here. To be honest, I'm not liking how they're revealing Jae Yeol to be this obsessed ex now (it's a pain to watch, ugh), but I hope he gets away from the toxic marriage, the toxic father and brother, his obsessed secretary, and focuses on healing himself.

Finally watched the final two episodes, and I really love how it ended. No loose ends! Especially throughout the final episode, it was so moving, and the 2nd half got me smiling so much I don't think I stopped until the ending credits rolled. First time watching BWS as the main lead, and I'm impressed with his acting here. IU is amazing as always. The supporting characters all did an awesome job too. So happy to have had this drama fill my weekends. I have nothing bad to say about this drama. I enjoyed it so much! 🧡🧡🧡

I think the fire started as an accident, but what the sis-in-law said to the king about him being dead would be better... probably triggered him into thinking he should really just die in the fire, so it might have been more like a su*cide. That's the feeling I got from them, but I could be interpreting it wrongly.

Finally gonna binge the last two episodes now, and I have to say, I love the subtle change in Queen Mother's expressions. Before, you can tell that she's just pretending to look concerned, but in Ep11 when she was asking Hui Ju about Yi An, her expression and gaze softened so much compared to the past, and you can feel that she doesn't have her spikes up anymore. Such amazing acting from Gong Seung Yeon! ❤

Ahhhh I wish we'd get more episodes!!! How did 2 episodes finish so quickly??

Also wondering how things went down back in the past. If the king had told Dan Shim to be his brother's lover, then why didn't Dan Shim be wary of the king when she married him. Or maybe she did. I need to know more!

Really love seeing Dan Shim and Se Gye together. It's gonna be really interesting to see how he courts her 😂😂😂 I foresee Se Gye getting many bad ideas from his secretary. We also need to see the secretary's cat!!!!! I hope the cute doggy comes back too. When the doggy followed her home and she thought it was someone in the shadows, I actually wondered if the dog could shapeshift into a human and become a dog hahahaha but I don't think this show contains fantasy elements to that extent. But I'm feeling the dog's spirit could also be the same dog from the past. I miss the doggy already. It was so heartbreaking when Dan Shim thought back on her life and broke down in tears and ended up breaking the dog house. It was so cute though T^T

And grandma!!! I knew it was only a matter of time for her to realize Dan Shim isn't Seo Ri. Didn't expect it to happen so soon though. And that "accident" she mentioned made me wonder if Seo Ri's body had been possessed by Dan Shim before in the past, or maybe by someone else.

I'm so glad this drama has 14 episodes because it feels like there's gonna be a lot to unfold. Can't wait for episode 5 already!!!

Even though Se-gye seems to be both the same person in the past and the present, it still wouldn't be the same if Dan-sim goes back and meets him again. She may have fallen in love at first sight with the past Se-gye, but she'd be going through a lot with the present Se-gye and build a relationship with him. I'm really torn between wanting her to go back or not.

The first two episodes were such a joy to watch!!! I was hoping it'd never end!! Absolutely in love with our chaotic main leads. I really wonder how it'd end. Will she go back to the past to a time before the incident, or will she stay in the present? I kinda feel bad for the real Shin Seo-ri because if Dan-sim stays, then where is the real Seo-ri? But I also hate to see Dan-sim go back to the past where life was so miserable.

Omg I think you could be onto something about the PM!!!! Your theory is the missing piece for me, because I get his intentions and all, but it just doesn't connect. But after reading your theory, I can see how it connects everything he's done and his intentions seamlessly.

I was so disappointed in him!!! I just hope he turns out being a double spy... 😫😫

We all know Jeongwoo has always had a crush on Huiju. We all suspected if he'd turn against I-An. And then he did. But the buildup to Jeongwoo actually doing something that could potentially hurt Huiju just seemed a bit out of character to me, or rather a little abrupt. Like, the intentions and the actions are all there, but they don't connect seamlessly. So even though his actions all made sense, it still felt like something was missing.

For example, Jeongwoo said before that he'd let Huiju do what she wants. That's why he agreed to her marriage with I-An instead of disapproving it as the PM. But now that he realizes I-An and Huiju have liked each other, he suddenly wants Huiju for himself and actually thinks breaking them up would make her go to him?? Come on. He's smarter than that. I feel he's hung out too much with Queen Mother that she messed up his head and he couldn't think straight anymore.

I seriously thought Jeongwoo was smarter than this, and he's better than some toxic secret admirer sunbae. Even until the end of Ep10, I'm still thinking maybe he could be a double spy (which I'm really hoping!!!!). The preview for next week's episode made it seem like Jeongwoo really betrayed I-An, but I'm still holding onto a teenie tiny bit of hope that Huiju only asked that because I-An and Jeongwoo are secretly working together, and Jeongwoo could very well expose their plan to Lord Inpyeong if he wanted to, but Jeongwoo's the only one I-An could trust, hence the question from Huiju.

But honestly....I'm not confident. I feel that Jeongwoo could really have turned bad and I'm just reading too much into it.

And the king...omg...poor boy T_T Yun didn't even realize she was doing to her son what her father was doing to her. I wonder who's the girl she was hiding and which case is she linked to.

I love that our leads aren't perfect, as in they show their vulnerable sides and admit to their mistakes like messing up at a decision and not trusting each other enough, but then they learn and recover from it and become stronger.

Maybe coz I'm used to sageuk and their palace politics storyline, Lord Inpyeong being so hung up on power made sense to me this whole time. But the part that felt a bit underdeveloped for me, was Jeongwoo's arc.

Seriously!!! Yi An trying to move closer to receive the hearts was hilarious. He's so silly 😂😂 And Yi An probably thinks Hui Ju is the cutest thing ever. Can't blame him though, because I completely agree 😍😍
