Black Adder and paper mache monsters? How come I'm only finding it now??

That's how it works. The commander isn't blamed only for the space and time he can physically cover, he has people on his command and his job is to make sure everything runs without issues. He has to organize guard in such a manner a situation like this would never happen. If people can be killed mere metres from the emperor, something is seriously wrong. In fact, he's not a one person at all. He takes responsibility for everyone under him.
Same goes for the empress.

Speaking of water, I like that the prince owns a greenhouse. It's a nice detail as it's super water-consuming and it shows how vast the difference of means is. Also, how sheltered and clueless about common people living standards he was.

it's all subbed now if you still want to complete it :)

Have you seen Love, Lies? It takes place in the 40s and has a love triangle tangled in politics too (and it's visually stunning).

like, other reasons than his father fixation on Bong Hee being the murderer and not trying to look for other options? I'm not sure whether he genuinely believes she's a culprit or just looks for a scapegoat, but I think it's the former. He's blinded by grief (plus, it doesn't look good for him professionally, to have a son killed and his murderer at large).
Do you think DA covers for someone?

I think I chose the wrong ship again, and the only thing worse than that is a realisation that there may be no right ship at all and both of them will die at some point for her to take over. First 10 episodes or so are more Miura Haruma vs. Takahashi Issei's characters. I'm impatient to see the MC taking the lead.

Forensic guy working for DA seems probable for me. Eun Hyuk being a killer is my wild theory too. It's not baseless, because he and Ji Wook are partners in some sense (room-sharing coworkers) and he's suspicious. When Bong Hee was under suspicion, she wasn't on a partner level.
With this writter, I could imagine Bong Hee suspecting Ji Wook at some point. If Fight Club thought us anything, there's only a step from something announced as an insomnia to revealed later as a total lunacy.
All three of them were there around the stairs in front of the court, but I don't remember Eun Hyuk exact location (althought he would have to change, Superman-style).

And I agree that the writter loves playing with the viewers expectations and things that seemed to be already established. I mean, we've got a whole episode of Bong Hee being a stalker and a court scene with Ji Wook addressing this only to know later he's utterly clueless. It's gonna be fun.

I hope there's more about KCSI guy than meets the eye too. It's too obvious and was introduced too soon - we see his face for the first time and he's shady from the get go? I'm not buying it, even with Monster/I remember you writter.
We're told the killer is amnesiac, but he seems to know perfectly well what he's doing. (But english synopses can't really be trust too much, so who knows.)

Can I ask when was his first love mentioned? I don't remember this or a body other commenter mentioned being dumped at some water tank and now I'm anxious I missed half an episode in all that mess...

I'll tell you something. I watched Durarara recently and traffic officers there are no joke. So satysfying. Now I crave competent police officers. Just one per drama, please.

same writter and director
(and since it is, I'm starting to think it's Eun Hyuk who's the amnesiac killer. Great casting choice, he and the guy from Age of Youth.)

good news for those who complained about styling choices: there's a time skip and the style follows.

So, about the dead boyfriend investigation... Not single person questioned why he was even in her apartment? No one tried to check her phone records (which could make a point against her if there were signs of contact and lit red light that's something's shady about it otherwise)? Shouldn't she ponder why a murderer just happened to pass next to her place and happened to meet her uninvited boyfriend?? Because I'd freak out if I were her (living on crime scene aside, maybe she can't afford to move out).

I relate to her humming skills on a deeply personal level.

I got it, it was Naughty Princess. But thanks!
(The title is so cringy and bordering soft-porn that now I want to get it out of my head again.)

No idea. But the timeline works more on family connections (and everyone being in their prime) then on an external need for different times.

hm, I'm not sure. I don't remember trying to watch the remake. I guess I'll have to retrace my steps and browse through all Chinese dramas on viki one day, that's where I saw it back then. Did they reverse the situation in the remake? Because it was the other way around in QIHM, in that drama it's the girl who wakes up in different times.

adult cast - ep 5
quits being nun - 12 (end)

guys, I realised something about this pairing! It's like Missing You ending the way it should! yay.

I don't think they are getting dumber in that way that usually prolongs the story. Their vices are turning against them. They have weak points being exploited by other characters who know them well. Some have sudden realisations, making one think they were always dumb or just partly blind. It's all believable for me.
There was maybe a point or two when I couldn't believe a years-long relationship could just break in one moment or a cunning and guarded person could have a moment of an idiotic weakne.ss Recently one character got too cocky, as if to prepare for the reversal, but the rest is generally plausible. Even that is thinkable in the context of the personalities of those particular people and their situation.
Plus, the police are rather competent, they get things done which is a rarity (rotten apples aside, but that's a matter of corruption or pettiness).

Was the rate ever high? I though it was always around 8 and there was even a discussion than non-romcoms are rarely rated high here. People were put off with 'rape'/blackmail thing and didn't even give it a try.
/The tv ratings are rather good though! All double digits, around 13-18%. And it got an extension, something badly received shows don't get (whether it's a good thing dramawise is a completely different story).
/last edit, I swear/ One thing I don't like, PPL is getting worse every week. More and more scenes in a certain fast food place, more sponsored gifts with glaring brand name and so on.
