Not even the kids are safe...

I knew the happiness wouldn't last long, but I never expected this amount of ruthlessness, and such a depressing turn of events. all they get is a puppet show??!! so sad (yet I didn't cry, just teared up). I guess because I could kinda see it coming towards the end, and since I read the synopsis. 2 more seconds of the crown prince, and I probably would have been sobbing.



These young actors are great! I'm gonna miss them when they grow up. I love how the story is unfolding. I haven't been bored once yet!

The best proposal & confession of a drama

I like this drama because it has everything: a true love, The pain, The friendship, The political conflicts.. But also deep dialoges and humour. It's impossibile forsee The future event.. And i'm worry about this.. I'm waiting for bitter tears. But in this episod The confession and The proposal make me dream. FANTASTIC!!

boring

what a boring episode..this is where they should have done the switch as 13 years passed in the blink of an eye, but really nothing happened. I guess this must be what they call a psychological drama..alot of long looks and woo woo music.



I am giving it one more episode to get interesting or I am done.

So sweet!!

I like so much the love story.. It' s so real! And JGS smiles so much that you can go out of mind. He is really really tender but so realistic.

something else

I can't say that much after watching only two episodes of Queen In Hyun's Man but I really like it. At the beginning I thought'oh my god, a korean historical drama' cause I don't like their clothes(sorry)But the increasing suspension kept me watching and now I impatiently waitung for the next sub!

sometimes it's kind of confusing, but I don't hate confusing scenes.this drama is much more interesting than dramas which are too easy showin nothing unexpected: a man and a woman get to know each other -> there is some kind of conflict between them/love at first sight-> get together-> misunderstanding/love rival-> heartbrokeness(from this point on the actors will have to cry in every episode until...)-> couple gets together for good

HAPPY END

Basically thats what most dramas are made of, right?

Not that they are all bad.i really love City Hunter and others which have this kind of structure, but I hope to see something else!

Queen In Hyun's Man has the potential to show us something really good and unexpected.

I hope this drama will show us other possibilities!

Amazingly great episode..

It was sad, cute and heartwarming at the same time.

It was cute how Hang Ah tried to cheer him up.

I feel sorry for the princess and I'm mad at secretary..

Hope it will all be sorted out at the end of this drama.. ( it has to be ) :)

impending doom ftw!

I'm surprised this is so exciting, considering the young cast. I love how the characters & relationships are being set up, though the politics still confuse me. I didn't expect to get hooked this quick, but i already am.

umm... what?

I also had a hard time following who was who & why was what. I get the sense that there will be rivalries for the throne, and for love, but err... I could barely keep track of who everyone was. I thought the acting was good, and the story was interesting enough to get me excited about the next episode. I see elements of fantasy & prophecy which already makes this less boring than I expected it to be, but all the talking in codes & riddles can be a bit frustrating when you are trying to follow the story.



I'm sure it will make perfect sense in time... i hope...

Not my favorite

This episode was a slow and a bit draggy to me. After the first fight scene, a lot of time was spent on scenes of the wounded Hyun Joon seeking walking about and seeking shelter. It seems that Hyun Joon has been thrown into the fire by NSS. The action picked up in the later half and that saved the rating a bit. I kept coming up with theories in my head about what is going to happen and none of them were resolved, so I found myself feeling disappointed.

Soooo sad...

I really hoped that they would be saved, but at some point it was a logical storyline for Jae Ha to become King (for some reason). Jae Ha will become more mature from now on for sure.

At least the princess were alive, I really like her and the soldier - I hope they'll still make a couple.

I just hate those "terrorists". But I guess the story must be interesting enough somehow.

This show really is something...

Episode two does set our two worlds better (Joseon era and modern Seoul) and presents us with a hand-filled surprise - which is pleasant, I didn't see that happening. It was sudden yet so smoothly done. Have I mentioned about the style of the director? No? One word: AmazinglyEXCITING. There you go, one word.



Also we get to see more of Kim Boong Do (Ji Hyun Woo) past and more character revelations. Really well performed, with a few mysteries on our hands.



After this episode I can say this: I absolutely love the chemistry between Yoo In Na and Kim Jin Woo (Han Dong Min). This guy portrays his character so well, and it is such a joy to watch him. Now I am looking forward to the torn and heartbroken side of him that will hopefully come through well.

Rooting For The Bad Guy???!

Tae Moo finally realizes that all that Se Na has been saying is a total lie. Karma is a bitch yall! Even though he is a jealous, murderous freak, I was sitting there rooting for him. He's the one that has all the pieces put together in the whole Se Na and Park Ha situation. The sweetest moment of this episode had to be when The Prince realized that he actually likes Park Ha, and gives her a big smack-a-rooney in the final scene. Why!! Oh, why God!!! did the episode have to end theeeerrree!!!! Great ending though. I don't think I can wait a whole week to see the next to episodes. :( This is going to be a long, hard week.

Flipped Off!

Gong Xi shows many admirable traits in this episode, she also proves that she has what it takes to be an amazing actress without any experience. I laughed like crazy, though, when Gong Xi flipped off Lian...I was so was not expecting that. I'm glad that Shang is being introduced more in the show now. I really miss seeing his sexy face.

Amazing

This is my favorite episode yet. Where do I start.....



Lee Gak realizing he likes Park Ha. I am glad he finally figured it out and the kiss at the end... I was not expecting that. The next step is for him to figure out the real reason he is there is to meet Park Ha and the find out she is the reincarnation of who he was meant to be with. Also I will be happy when he finds out what type of person Se Na is in this life and in her past life.



Tae Moo finding out Se Na is a liar. It took him long enough, but I couldn't believe the deal her offered her. He was already pathetic but this just made him look so much worst. I can't wait until he is exposed by Lee Gak.



Se Na is by far the worst villain I have come across while watching dramas. How many characters evil spans two lifetimes? She is so manipulative and underhanded. She has to be a sociopath to do all that she does and still be able to sleep at night. I am hoping she takes Tae Moo's deal so that it can all backfire in her face.



I'm also glad to see Mimi and Becky back. They seemed to be MIA for a couple of episodes.
