Hi @Vil_Lyn. Welcome to JangHaven and to the thread. Glad you came here to chat . 

ahhh okay. Makes more sense now. So that is why the current King expelled the shaman woman right?

 

Also for Kwak Si Yang's character - during his childhood when he saw the locked up painting, why did he suddenly say that the throne was his ?  As if he was wronged?

Isn't he the 2nd son anyway and that the crown will not go to him right?

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. 😊

My thoughts would be the current king was most likely involve too on the attempt of killing Haram's father. As they were discussing about the rain ritual he has this line "So this time, it is his son". So he's contemplating and maybe harbouring some guilt. In the end his council was able to persuade him to not sacrifice Haram. He specifically ordered that to the shaman but the shaman did not obey because she knows a human sacrifice is needed for the ritual to work. So she performed the ritual and so Haram died but thanks to the demon's power he was revived. 

As for Jooyang. That's because of greed. He was frustrated everytime he sees his brother. Because Jooyang is ambitious. He compared his life to a guelder flower he feels like he is  only for decoration and can't do anything. He was enticed by the words of the demon. If ever he gets his hands on the demon he'll be powerful enough to snatch the throne.

I love episode 1! The child actors were fabulous in their roles! Reminds me of The Moon that Embraces the Sun where the episodes of the child actors were also very enjoyable. The graphics are really well done too.

 

The bit I am confused is the bit where the Demon was in the former king's body. I thought the narration tells us that he was sealed inside a painting?

 

The child acting as young Ha Ram is the actor playing LDH's younger brother in Youth of May, @abs-oluteM! :D I think he's another one that will grow up to be a handsome adult actor, hahaha. Actor Park Sang Hoon is another child actor with potential, I remember him from Dr. John, playing a patient who also cannot feel pain and in Do You Like Brahms? as Park Joon Young.

 

@Tofu OMG, what is it with the butterfly reference ! Yeah you got it right, Samshin (sam = 3, shin = god) was 3 deities in one body and Demon (looks like Niu Mo Wang/Bull Demon King or a mixture of it with Lord of the Rings' Balrog). I'm not even sure why the Deity of Birth seems to be more powerful than the Demon and yet she doesn't tame/capture him herself.

 

@NiteWalker Cheon Ki was cursed by the Demon and became blind. To compensate it, Deity of Birth paired her up with Ha Ram. She tricked Bull Demon to enter Ha Ram's body & locked him in there. Since the eyes are the source of Demon's energy, she took away Ha Ram's sight and gave it to Cheon Ki. When the time is right, the eyesight will return to Ha Ram (poor boy, what did he do to deserve this?)

 

Anyway, it's a very interesting and solid first episode. I'm totally invested because the children did an excellent job. I don't know who the female kid playing young Cheon Ki but she is cute and matches really well with young Ha Ram. Now we'll need their adult counterpart to have the same chemistry and carry the rest of the story.

 

@ktcjdrama Low on drama? Check this one out.

 

The Demon was inside the former king's body because he borrowed the power of the demon to conquer the dan dynasty and secure the throne. But he feared the demon's power and because he has already conquered the kingdom  he decided to seal the demon in the painting.

Yes, you are right. The current king is selfish too and I think he saw that HR was special and wanted to keep him close. He mentioned that at the end to HR to keep a look at the stars - his prince / sons right?

 

Gong Myung's character is painted as happy go lucky and a little conceited. Is he the other love interest? I'd rather her best friend , the one they call Nuisance or was it Frown ( Viu subs) - the one who gave the lecture be the potential rival. But anyhow HaRam's charisma is so strong , cannot possibly have SLS.

 

@Alice WonderlandYes sobs....7Day Queen ....

really broke my heart. I hated the ending too but it was a good drama on the whole. YWJ and PMY did have great chemistry and I bought their love story . LDG as the jealous and conflicted King was very good too. 

 

No. Those assassins who murdered Haram's father was bound by the former king's word. Remember when Haram's father asked why they are trying to kill him when the king has died 10 years ago?  The Inquisitor's answer was "Even if 100 years has passed the King's order is heaven ordained" and it must be also because of the Shaman woman
