I had so many feelings about these last two episodes.

Okay I just...kind of love that Ji-un was pretty chill about Hwi being really a she. But also as soon as he went to get that binyeo I knew bad things were going to happen.

I'm so glad nothing bad happened to Court Lady Kim and Eunuch Hong. (Eunuch Hong and Hyun as bad cop and good cop was the best for reals.)

I am glad I wasn't the only one who was confused about whether Hwi was married or not. I remember in Mr. Queen they called the Queen "your majesty" even before the wedding, but they just...got married off-screen and now they have to try to "have a kid"?

I was kind of confused about Rowoon just being all sad eyes when Hwi was going to the conjugal visit with the queen (who I like! She's so cute! I feel so bad for her) instead of, I don't know, panicking? Because if the queen sees the real Hwi so many people will die. I was like...you just sad that there's gonna be hot lesbian lovin' without you? I feel like you should be trying to sabotage this for more than just your emotions.

So much going on!

Also clown is me, the Korean title of the show is just...affection? Yeonmo? But the English title is King's Affection and I was like...but Hwi isn't the king, so why is this the title? Of course she had to become King eventually.

I hope nothing bad happens to Hyun. I like him. Also I hope he and Ji-un don't become petty enemies over all of this.

I am afraid that Ga-on/Eunseo, in his quest for revenge against the people who killed his father, might mess things up for Hwi trying to track down the dead eunuch's wife, since the eunuch was the guy who planted the letter in his dad's quarters that got him into trouble.

i actually like the title the king's affection in english because in the first half of the drama i felt like hwi was trying to gain the (now late) king's affection in a way, by being a good crown prince but also dealing with her feelings of rejection because she was supposed to have been killed by her own family
