Nevertheless Webtoon Spoilers Yes I unlocked some coins last night to fast track the webtoon and sharing the gist here for those who are interested. (But I am actually curious how JTBC would propell the 19+ rating compared to the webtoon) This is from chapter 1-15 I guess I still have yet to see Do hyuk and Seolah in the webtoon.

This one can Bossam come sooner !

Can Kyungho join the cameo train.. but not this kind of cameo please

Another set

Here comes the lovely photos

The headlines today sum up to family growing together, apart from the badminton arc used in this show.

wonderful edits by silvertree Initially I got curious on the first still cut of Ilwoo when he has this scruffy look in the beginning. It looks different from what I used to see from him in his previous sageuks. But man he looks good with the mustache *coughs* @SilverMoonTea. He looks divine here

Thank you once again @ktcjdrama for highlighting these convos. Imagine the shock on mother and daughter 's faces once they learned that Sookyung is the PRINCESS ! With the initial reaction of these two, I am not quite surprised. Being a family from the lower class of the society during that time posts stigma of being illiterate , no public recognition and just mere commoner. With the mother, I think now that they have recognized as Kim Jenam/ Queen Inmok descendants, that gave them the opportunity to 'seize' while they are on it. However, Mother should have known better. Her children suffered the most because they witness all the horrible events at very young age. Oh well. Sookyung is right, the King will never be trusted because she alone had witnessed how her own father betrayed her own daughter in order to save his crown. Apart from the first wife dilemma, i hope the first son of Yi Cheom will not come back from the grave. That is too much for our dear Mildang couple to handle .

Historical References of Bossam Steal the Fate Back to episode 10, Sookyung finally became the person behind the books that circulated uncontrollably which I was amazed on how her ability to draw + mentioning of Hong Gil Dong was an impressive correlation to history at the same time her participation herself could be the representation of the historical figure Heo Gyun . And even if she was the mastermind of those books--it is Ba Woo who is publicly tried instead. The writer really had been detailed about this , since during that time no way a woman (considering the caste system during Joseon ) specially a princess will do such a thing. Also when Bawoo stole the letter to the eunuch of Ming, was a brilliant story line development. Even if the letter did not consist of the request of King Gwanghae, his goal to make up with the Queen did not materialize thanks to the greedy Yi Cheom who is instigating another treason. This is because if we refer this part of the story to historical events, the restoration of the Queen Dowager Inmok after she was deposed did not happen during King Gwanghae's reign. While in the story King Gwanghae attempted to reclaim her position, it was until the reign of his nephew King Injo that the Queen's confinement ended and later on honored as Grand Queen Dowager Inmok. *(source) There was a scene when the Yi Cheom's son, Won Hyeop trading with the merchants from Ming. Apart from the letter, boxes of silver were also given to them. During this timeline, around 1621-1655: I am now curious on how the writer will fuse the story of Kim Jenam's family knowing that there are only few accounts related to them, being only a part of the royal family of Queen Inmok.

Thanks @abs-oluteM and @ktcjdrama for the recaps. The audience share of this drama is impressive!

What will happen to Woochan

Maybe this drama is rated Chadol (aka rated 9 😂) because no signs of kissu scene yet but i live for these tiny weeny skinship because this couple literally makes my heart skip a beat!

Will check this one out, i like the dramas produced by Daylight Ent especially their suspense dramas were good.

our tough Princess to save her beau !

Me and my friends define it as 'scarlet' rating - for 19+ and above. So let's see if what JTBC promised will fall in that category

Some TMI about Lee Yong Dae He is featured in Yonex website: It will be awesome if he will have an actual meta-cameo in the drama. Hope he will recover soon tho--because in May he was tested positive for covid19. I guess he is doing fine, he just updated his IG yesterday

Yay , im also looking forward to this one . Thanks @SnowBlob ! Ryu Seung Rong is included in the cast

@SnowBloblooking forward to this one too, seems like the next season will focus more on her with Lee Chang and Seo-bi 's dynamics. I am also excited on how she will become the 'villain' on the next installment Ju Ji Hoon sent food truck to Ashin team last year
