Ga Eun ah, why you made me laugh when you ate those poppy pills and took the antidote. It’s just plain stupid, nothing to be proud of. Plus, those stupid ministers and scholars. *facepalm*

    It was actually meant to be serious. But I was actually laughing! *facepalms with you*

      I saw that clip. The trouble with this drama is that it takes itself so seriously but the actions and directing achieve the opposite effect. Thus, we always end up laughing when we shouldn’t.

        You’re right. Some of the scenes were just downright ridiculous that all I could do was laugh.
        Like that scene where Ga eun takes the antidote and then everyone believes that she died! *eye roll*
        Like, it wasn’t even trying to be believable!

        I know right, this drama has way a lot of cringe-worthy moments. I can’t seem to take this drama seriously ever since the writing seems to be all over the place.

    IKR? Totally unnecessary for her to be the “hero”! Can’t they just get the dowager queen or even the fake king to eat the antidote since he will do anything for Ga Eun? I mean, really Show, that’s the best thing you can think of for our female lead?

      I was thinking the same! I thought the Queen Dowager would wanna take the antidote as she trusts her son. But no, the writer wants to make Ga Eun the “hero” after all the cryings, but failed miserably. And I cringe when the King wants to leave the throne when the ministers don’t agree with him trying to make Ga Eun, the Queen. And he said, that maiden was the one to sacrifice her life when all the ministers were begging for their lives to be saved. I was like, uh-hello? Hwa Goon had done way more than Ga Eun? And her story will remain unknown.

        I can’t agree with you more! RIP Hwa Goon – we know your sacrifice even if the whole of Joseon do not. I don’t think this has ever happen to me before in which I prefer the 2nd female lead to the first – I mean her character is just so kick-ass
