1. does the court lady even have to ask why the king prefers the baduk player, regardless of the share love of baduk; do they not yet have mirrors in their days?

2. is bad acting (or at least directions to act in the most obvious way from the director) the only way they can advance the plot?

3. as said before, her role should just be to look good, stop trying to think. and it only makes sense that the king is smarter than her, as she had insisted she would only marry one who can beat her at baduk ie strategy and thinking – sure noone wants to see her as a leftover lady.

   glad oneeye patchy guy stabbed wrong person..maybe he would just die from guilt.

5. The King is the most exceptional baduk player of all – thinking, planning and scheming 10 moves ahead of everyone in the court. Love to see a competent and clever king.

   the King should look out for Lady Dong – she will be bringing the ‘fury of a woman scorned’ to all her actions now..Join hands with King’s uncle? plot a way to kill Hee Soo? poison the King? Anything is possible – the crashing and burning of her unrequited love will fuel her vengeance, methinks.

6. Hhhmmmm……..I’m watching the opening scene and recalling the contempt and disgust ep 12 left me with as she had started to come clean and confess. That would mean that the 4 cronies who have supported and carried out her half assed plans for these years were fixing to be thrown under the bus. Then this idiot Chu runs out all that way and I had absolutely no doubt in my mind he was going to fail. He did and the events of the episode played out~
   Not sure what to think. Its mostly because for the umpteenth time the drama continues to toss the normal historical ways and things you would see transpire within the palace out the window. Everything is out in the open. Not surprised she took the knife. She’s been unable to follow through with her intentions since the start nor am I surprised about pops being alive. That’s all I got surprisingly, lets see how 14 plays out~

7. I had been expecting this series since the day the trailer came out, because of our prof. lee ik jun and i’m not saying i don’t like it. I love it very much, his acting is spectacular as always. He always finds an essence to breathe as one with the characters he plays. But i don’t think i’m all that down for the storyline. Great cast and wonderful job from the actors, but the story is just not serving the expected greatness. IDK it’s just what i feel not saying it’s not a good watch, but yeah, the actors could do much more than this is what i’m feeling.

8. Is the principal secretary put on the spot..? I hope they get him before he goes to go plan some more blunders! Now that he knows, he will look for everyday to get out of the situations he is now and then they will be back to square one!

9. Ep 13. That doctor’s companion(female in blue uniform) to treat the FL made me curse the writer. If that is your position in the society , you should be more afraid of the King’s order at all cost rather than to nobody whatever blackmailing is told to you. I hope , the writer will correct this and will be shown to us whats gonna happen to her for 3 remaining eps.

10. i liked this ep. for the first time since this drama began they established the fl’s pov, we know what she was thinking and why she did what she did, they finally made her make sense which is what we’ve been asking for! and they did so effortlessly its making me think they deliberately set her up to be reviled these past 12 eps which isn’t cool, even if the ml’s the main star she’s also a protagonist.

    look at the way the king used the attempted assassination to finally go on the spy hunt he’s been dying to do since before he even became king, he doesn’t waste any chances that one what an amazing guy just 💯.

11. The King will appoint her as a concubine as a first step to protect her.
    The Queen’s position could be considered if and when her father comes back…
    The Court Lady Dong was quite shocked to find out the babaduk player was a woman…..

12. I guess Chu will be killed in prison. As always happens. Can FL become the Queen? But then what , she will not have kids with the King? To keep Crown prince position?

15. as expected, her father is alive and like I said last week, that it would only makes sense of King knowing everything about her and her non existing plan and he knew 👏👏👏….m glad that the King has everything and everyone “in check” and isn’t gullible to just believe anyone….he has his own plan and a gud one at that 👌👌
