i'm really enjoying this drama sooo much! love that we got more of their chemistry the balance politics-romance is so much better. the chemistry between the leads is soooo good (the final scene in ep 8!!!!) and i really like the gender role/power reversals we're seeing with lee hwi/dami coming to save damsel in semi-distress jiun multiple times these episodes. i also really like that the leads in the end really like each other because they see good people in each other. i really understand why they like each other (good looks aside) whereas in some other kdramas i have to more accept that the leads are into each other
in general i really enjoy the main cast as a whole, even though i feel like we barely got to know some important characters like the mysterious bodyguard, for example, and we're almost halfway through the show! i want to know more about the daughter of the minister of war (? you know the one who has heart eyes for jiun), jiun's mom (loved her not wanting to pressure him into a particular career) and the grandmother (bizarre that this actress moved onto grandmother roles now??)
if this drama ends with the bodyguard being dami’s twin brother , the twin brother suddenly appearing or in general dami not being able to ascend the throne because she is a woman (the latter being very likely) i’ll be sooooo annoyed (despite knowing better) because she’s proving over and over again that she’s such a capable, empathetic leader. i really appreciated that they did not completely vilify the chinese-korean envoy guy and that she could empathize with his situation. i also loved the scene where she brushed her trusted court lady kim's hair (i was ready to fight when she got attacked!), that was just such a lovely touch. eun bin plays this character so well!
kind of confused that both the bodyguard as well as jiun were still able to fight after getting quite badly wounded but ok maybe jiun is a doctor of miracles who knows
like i said i am really enjoying the whole cast but i was particularly heart eyes for rowoon these episodes. 🥰rowoon all excited running to lee hwi with his little flower and when he tripped!!! 🥰 rowoon in that pink hanbok 🥰🥰🥰🥰 rowoon as an undercover assassin-type 🥰🥰🥰 and even rowoon in a mustache??🤔 i wouldn't say no tbh
