I wanted the lead to want to become the queen. I don’t mind her getting help, but it’s not her own plan. It’s the plot of two politicians. She's just a pawn.
Besides I don’t get why she didn’t learn fighting. Information is dangerous work and she should be like Oknyeo.. I hope she wont get saved again. I understand sometimes one is in a dangerous situation, but she is saved by the same person when she's doing work she should be trained in.
Honestly, I think it's great a show like this exists and that it's on NETFLIX raising more awareness of NK worldwide…
I felt bad watching the villagers. I couldn’t sit in my safe rich country laughing knowing the reality. But you’re right they’re not being made fun of and I get why the writers couldn’t portray real NK. I wouldn’t write this but I will continue watching and I don’t fault anyone.
Comparing a fascist tyranny to whichever country I might be from is wrong however.
The drama is fun but it feels gross to set a romcom in north korea. People starve there, and anyone that watches foreign tv shows or buy a foreign rice cooker risk death.
I wish more emphasis would be put on EK. She should be a mirror to EB, instead she's the boring good girl while EB is lawbreaking and daring. I love that she is all that but the opposite is okay too
Why do all joseon drama women have to be feisty? It's an annoying trope just like modern drama women all have to be ditzy
In episode 2, the king and dowager is sitting opposite compared to other dramas.
The highest rank should be facing the door, sitting closest to the wall. So if the QD is in the king’s room, he should get up and let her take his seat.
I tend to see Lee Bang Won as an antihero. Even in Six flying dragons and even now. It all depends how you look…
You might be right..perhaps they are morally grey. Typically one is a sweetie and the other a psycopath, like those I mentioned above. Still Taejong is remembered as a tyrant who did horrendous things(he crossed the line killing your own family and Poeun), so I hope Whi is good he should be like Moohyul and leave BW in the end.
Is Nam Sunho the bad character here? To me it seems like Whi is the protagonist and NSH is like Yihun in nokdu flower or PKW's character in bridal mask.
But yi bang won is a historical villain so bad many korean people refused to see sfd. You cant make him good.

I’m not feeling the girlpower :(
