I can't come up with anything right now, but this is so exciting!

I wish SBS posted that short scene of Wang Shik saving Sunny from falling because I wanted to gif the scene when Lee Hyuk made those funny expressions.

 

The hospital torture scene was uncomfortable to watch. unsure.png

 

Do you guys think Wang Shik's identity is going to be revealed next episode? It looked like Yura caught him in the preview.

The romantic development between Hel Ro and Yoon was so fast. Also, I can't believe Lee Hyuk and the Empress Dowager kept the bodyguard alive this whole time. Kind of unexpected considering he probably knows about the meaning behind that island since he was also looking into it with the late empress.

 

I just remembered, the newest revelation was that Sunny's mom died because the blood that was meant for her went to Lee Hyuk instead. This is just so sad.

ramblings and theories under spoiler

 

 

i think the body they find in the first ep, is seo kanghee. wangsik took the jewelry and objects from the emperor's safe, maybe kanghee found them and took the necklace and went to sunny to make her jealous. kanghee has done other things with purpose of getting a certain reaction.

 

also does anyone else think sunny could be pregnant, after the emperor came to visit her at night? usually a hug that doesn't end alludes to sex, because of the strict censorship of those types of things.

 

if sunny actually is pregnant then empress dowager definitely won't sit still. my other theory is that min yura told the emperor about na wang sik identity and the emperor saw sunny and wang sik together, and sunny meets the same fate as empress sohyun.

 

if that's the case i feel like they will try to sate the viewers anger with yoon and he ro becoming emperor and empress at the end. like that some sort of justice. 

 

Welcome to the thread! You have really good insights. lovestruck.png

 

 

I didn't even think about Kanghee potentially being the person buried, but that makes some sense because when Ari is playing in the first episode, the nanny that takes her away isn't Kanghee. 

 

Oh goodness. I really hope she's not pregnant. I don't think Sunny would let the emperor near her after what she knows. I suspect in next week's episode, she's probably going to push him off or slap him with her pillow or something. Hahaha.

 

I would be so mad if they writer killed off Sunny because I want to believe that both Sunny and Wang Shik get their revenge and have the constitutional monarchy dissolved as the ending.

well kanghee probably wouldn't be near her anyway, she was given a noble title as ari's mother when the king officially added ari to the family registry. but it seems like if something serious was happening she would have ran to her anyway, but we don't see her.

 

but the emperor was there in sunny's moment of weakness, normally i think she would push him away. but because it was a nightmare about her mother i think she might be more emotionally clouded and accept his comfort.

 

i think either ari, sunny or he ro is the last empress, if the emperor gets caught for all his crimes, the last empress is sunny. if he gets away with it, and the prime minister uses ari to abolish the royal family and create a democracy, it's ari. and if the emperor gets caught and sunny is the body they found, yoon will become emperor and he ro will become empress, yoon will likely also want to abolish the royal family, making he ro the last empress.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I forgot she was given a formal title. Her lack of presence when the police came is concerning.

 

Ugh, I would dread seeing that happening because that would mean Sunny could potentially be going down the same path as Empress So Hyun--becoming pregnant and dying by the imperial family. History better not repeat itself.

 

I kind of like the idea of Yoon becoming emperor and abolish the constitutional monarchy. It makes sense since he wants to take down both the Empress Dowager and Lee Hyuk for all their shady/criminal acts.

Also, can someone clarify or provide guesses on Chungeumdo's importance? I know that there is a fake paper company and that there is potentially something money-related regarding that island, but is there something more to it?

I was looking up news about the extension, but it looks like it is still in discussion. Really hope they decide against it. unsure.png

 

Anyway, I did find out that February 6th's episode will be cancelled because of Lunar New Year. Episode 43/44 will air on February 7th.

spoilers (thoughts on the episode)

 

 

Sunny is outsmarting all the villains in this episode. laugh.png Wonder when Seo Kang Hee is going to get revealed for her part in So Hyun's death. How will anyone figure out that it was her? Were there any witnesses that saw what she did? If not, it's going to be easy to pin it on Lee Hyuk. I also wonder what's going to happen to Yura now that she knows about Woo Bin's real identity. Maybe she'll get locked up again in the hospital and meet with Joo Seung and finally find out how both of them separated.

I wonder why they took so long in confirming the extension. Hope Kang Joo Seung is okay after being dragged out of the facility.

The scenarios in this drama make me laugh. I love that Lee Hyuk falls off a cliff and the next day not only survives but goes on about his day like nothing happened. 

 

Can't believe Lee Hyuk thought it was a good choice to force himself on Sunny to make her stand by his side.

What an unexpected real-life twist 0u0plz.png I have no idea how they're going to address Na Wang Shik missing.

 

Anyway, lots of good things in this episode

-Kim Soo Mi's cameo (can't go without her cursing someone out laugh.png)

-Glad we got to see the Grand Empress Dowager in scenes again...the reveal was quite heartbreaking

 

This drama probably has the most number of characters up for Worst Mother.

Spoilers from the episode

 

Min Yura's story was really sad. Not really happy with the way the writer decided to go with the direction of Yura's story though. Didn't feel necessary and she could have just hated him for something else.

 

While watching how Na Wang Shik died, I was thinking that the writer didn't have to have him die in the explosion. She could have just made the head pains he was getting so unbearable to the point that he had to be hospitalized. Then, he wouldn't have had to be present in the other episodes, and they could have shot a scene for the end of the series ahead of time where he's recovering or dead from not getting treated all this time.

 

Anyway, the show has been a mess from the start, but it was a fun one up to a point. I think the writer's bias towards Lee Hyuk as a character ended up messing the dynamics and flow of the show and ultimately became a disservice to Wang Shik whose revenge story ended in a wimper.

I appreciated that the writer allowed some characters to be redeemed but still pay for all the wrongs they did. This drama was a messy ride, but it was fun to watch. 

 

Thanks to everyone who posted and shared their insights!
