Ultimately, I enjoyed this season a lot, but I felt like we spent way too much time with some side characters instead of on the leads so I still feel a little dissatisfied. The last 2 episodes for me could've done with much less screentime for Ji Woo's ex girlfriend and as much as I love the little girl, I didn't need to see her and her mother so much either. Like, them talking about fried chicken for so long right after a scene of a frantic Ji Woo asking them if they saw Seo Joon was really weird.

I'm sure my opinion will soften when I rewatch it because watching week to week made it much harder to digest, especially when one considers how unpleasant Ji Woo was to Seo Joon. Anyway, it's over now and I'm happy it happened.

I wanted him to suffer some more but the moment he started crying and said he was begging, I lost my conviction. I'm glad they're happy but it does feel very much like a drama ending after all the talk of how 'realistic' the season has been.

Lol. CP seems to be his son but not there Empress' son? I'm not really clear on that but I think they mentioned that the Empress had to adopt him and they didn't want him to know she wasn't his real mother or something. I initially thought the Empress at least loved the Emperor but it's starting to look like all she cares about is power. Unfortunately even when the truth comes out, the Emperor will probably make excuses for her and find a way to save her because of love.

Surprisingly, Mu-deok and the crown prince make a fantastic pairing! I laughed so much at their scenes. I initially thought Mu-deok's family may have been killed because of the secret about Uk's birth, but maybe it was because of some soul shifting gone wrong. I'll need to watch the episode again it seems.

Master Lee must be incredibly old to be that powerful and the master of the old doctor. I hope he sticks around for a while longer.

Also, I wonder if the real Mu-deok isn't the one who cut off Naksu's energy since they seemed to show that her soul is still in that body, just inactive for now. I really want to know what's going on with both of them.

I thought the same but he seemed to have gotten help from the Emperor's consort. As for the promotion, they mentioned that it was a sideways move rather than upward, and to a remote area which he was desperate to avoid. I feel like this emperor is still better than a lot of these drama emperors cos at least he listens to different sides.

SYZ was tricked into that marriage by a man who kept her chained like an animal, and barely fed. How could she leave her alone? How do you equate tricking him with what he did to SYZ? That's wild to me.

Do you mean when she flirted with SYZ's husband? I think it had less to do with her feeling too high, but rather that she had to flirt with someone who she knew was a horrible, abusive, monster. I would take a full bath if I was forced to be that close to someone like him. She never shied away from her past and even in her business she used the skills she learned from her time as a dancer, but that particular man was disgusting and she had to force herself to put on that act in order to secure her friend's freedom.

I don't know about her tricking people left and right cos she never deceived anyone who didn't mean to harm her or her friends. She just outsmarts them and survives.

I was really worried that they'd have Pan Er go and beg OYX because of GQF but I should've had more faith in our team. I'm also really impressed with Gao Hui's character development to be honest. I didn't expect her to come back, but at least she served a good purpose. I really like everything that's been done with the women in the show.

I was so happy SYZ taught Sanniang's ungrateful son a lesson and I hope he's learned something now.

I'm looking forward to OYX's demise. I'm so thankful Pan Er dodged that bullet cos she would've been miserable with him.

That's really good news! I look forward to rewatching it over there 🥰

I knew she figured out who he was and I was so proud of the way she handled him. I really love her cos she thinks on her feet and always finds a way out.

The grand opening of Yong'an Restaurant was soooo good. I was so proud of our ladies and everything they've achieved so far. I wish we wouldn't have any more angst and drama cos it made me so happy to see them at the top of their game. Peak moment for me in ep 33 was He Si giving the performance of his life 🥰😂

Why couldn't she just push the old man down the stairs and be done with it? Also, how did she decide that walking around alone, at night was the best idea when she knew someone was targeting her? And how was he harassing her parents for so long and they didn't report him to the police? Shouldn't he have been arrested after breaking into their house more than once? So many silly choices tbh.

Pls mark this as a spoiler

Yesssss him too! I barely tolerate him when he's onscreen with Qianfan.

I find Chi Yan to be an unbearable bully. It's unfortunate that Pan Er keeps having to deal with him and I'd hoped he would become likeable at least but I just find everything about him annoys me. He acts like a child at every opportunity and is spoiled by everyone around him, so of course he would start beef with the only people who don't coddle him. He's the only other character apart from Ouyang Xu that I can't stand to watch.

I will admit that this show got a lot better in the last quarter so it wasn't a bad experience for me. Kang Han Na was exceptional in this and she held this show together for me cos she was the only reason I kept coming back.

I didn't like the king in the beginning, and I didn't like him at the end, but by the end at least I could understand why he was the way he was. Lee Joon did a good job portraying him so I'll look forward to more of his work in the future.

Ep 10 was absolutely a wild ride. I kept waiting for the twist that would bring Tin back cos they teased us about him getting hurt before so I didn't think they'd actually kill him this time! I was worried Tol would do something drastic to reset the timeline but hunting down Jinta was better than the alternative I had in mind. Excited for next week.

I got all that, I was just having a laugh although it would've been nice to see some heads roll 😂

The most disappointing thing for me about the first 2 eps was in ep 1 when Naksu said they call her Naksu because everywhere she goes, heads fall to the ground, and then got into a fight where no heads fell to the ground 😞 other than that, I really enjoyed the start of this drama, especially Mu-deok's ever growing list of people to kill and the awesome chemistry between the leads. I think this will be a fun experience and it'll be torture watching from week to week.

I have many questions about the plot but I'll wait for a few more episodes to see how it develops. But I must say that Mage Jang is a wasteman for crippling a child because of his own poor judgement. Uk didn't ask to be born, and anyone could've told that idiot Jang that the king was up to no good, so why punish Uk instead of raising him to be a better man than both his fathers?

I was cheering for Sanniang both times. She has so much empathy and understanding for others, and I really want her to get to a place of real happiness soon. She deserves it so much.
