I feel that this comment section has been very dismissive of people who expected romance from this drama. I am…
TBF the king cannot just start a relationship with his royal cook. We need to be mindful of the existing political situation within the kingdom (since this is a principal plot point) and standard royal protocol. Not to mention the fact that Yeong wishes to go back home so logically would not want to get entangled in anything that could hurt her (physically/ mentally).
I wouldn’t say there’s` no romance either. The king has made it extremely clear - even to an alarming degree - just how important she is to him. Even Yeong now can sense his change in feelings towards her. Will it end in K-trauma? I have no idea as of now but it’s pretty clear that they will soon reach their “forbidden romance” era.
The food competition in a way reflects the ridiculousness of their situation. The Ming envoy was exploiting his nation’s name for his own benefit. The competition rests on good faith and respect to your own skills. Without even really trying, the King’s wish to expose the truth happened - the envoy kept showing his true colors and even the viper “uncle’s” slimy nature.
That being said, it would have been interesting to see how things would have moved forward if Joseon didn’t win and the royal letter didn’t exist.
why there's only 9 episodes on Netflix? here it says 11 😅
Netflix is testing our patience as usual- try to stay in the honest path and help with the global ratings or embrace the darkness🙈🙈🙈
It's in their contract- the original broadcaster/ principle OTT gets first dibs. That's why most of the ongoing cdramas/ jdramas are far behind in Netflix.
A 2 episode gap isn't bad though considering how we used to wait for months after the drama concludes to have access to WEEKLY episodes 🙈
Sweet ending to the series without the manga um spice. Gonna miss this show sm! Loved the very end where it looked…
Honestly I loved how they didn’t force the intimacy between the actors. A smashing 🔥 kiss and a lot of lovey doveyness is way better than wooden awkward moments🙈
And the way Keishi practically smothered Tojo in that hug?🤭
I haven’t watched ep 12 yet but may be it’s his unconscious way of protecting her from society’s judgemental…
Ohh he doesn't make another 💅appearance in ep 12 at all?
That's too bad since I thought he'd be more comfortable since he knows that even Haruka approves his authentic self (i mean if people who matter to him even encourages him, then there shouldn't be any real obstacle)🙊
I think it was a mistake since ep 12 is no longer visible in my account.
Yes. The thing is last week, JP had to postpone the episode so Netflix has to skip the schedule too this week with the international broadcast (probably part of their contract).
Somebody from NF must dropped the ball when they uploaded it yesterday.
This would have been a 9 rating but I didn’t understand or was it lost in translation why he stop dressing as…
I haven’t watched ep 12 yet but may be it’s his unconscious way of protecting her from society’s judgemental eyes? The way he initially panicked around her mum even kind of implies it.
The way the bald US guy (can't recall his title now) reacted, it does sound like it. They've been waiting for…
Your hypothesis sounds fair enough! Turning him into a rogue operative is safe as well as the fact that he was the one who kept pushing for it even when the others hesitated.
I'm curious too to see how things will play out considering how complicated things are even IRL🙊
bruh if the mistress turn out to be the spy Stella Young, and the husband knew and wanted to cover that up, and…
They need an excuse to avoid backlash once the supposed grieving widow gets seduced by her bodyguard within months after his death 🙈
It's also weirdly a fun easter egg given how earlier this year, fans were celebrating the fact that the actor managed to change from the chittiest husband to Nation's husband thanks to his role in WLGYT and now with Tempest, it's like he is back to his old ways 🙈
Some shower thoughts: With Stella Young are they suggesting that this is actually all a US plot to justify attacking…
The way the bald US guy (can't recall his title now) reacted, it does sound like it. They've been waiting for an excuse to ho ahead with their "righteous" act.
Besides the idea of US fabricating a story to catch a "criminal" is a world renown conspiracy(?) Theory.🙊
Question is, is South Korea really that ballsy enough to throw this idea into the world. It's a dangerous game given how X warriors can shread a drama and it's crew over the slightest thing. And the US has been quite strict lately.

Sounds very click-baited. Thanks for the heads up☺️

It's like "damn, i hated you a few weeks ago and now I can't wait to see you"🙈🤣
If she is the spy, then she certainly would be able to pull it off without leaving a trace.🙈

Might as well call this "the trials of BSH" 🙈
