1. Finally some actual good acting/ plot development in this episode and…….. dare I say it, mainly because FL was missing in most of it. The scene between the queen and her father and then later between her and the new crown prince had me in tears. It’s a testament to these actors to bring the emotions out of their audience.
   The ML of course has been great throughout , as has the prince but it was a treat to see the queen’s father be human and genuinely care for his daughter more than her status as queen. I have seen the veteran actor in other shows and these scenes will always remain a favourite of his with me, he brought the “eye monsoon” ya’ll!!

   The court intrigue and double crossing/ triple crossing of the ministers/ court officials seems to have heated up with the PD losing his grip on affairs as seen by most of the ministers agreeing to the appointment of the crown prince (and won’t that burn his beard!!). That move of proposing marriage of the crown prince to the girl in minister of war’s family was sheer twisted genius.

   One thing I have liked about this court from the beginning is that there seem to be some genuine ministers who speak for the people and really want the best for them. It seems they are finally finding their voice even if it means losing favour with the PD. Finally saw the Baduk game as played out in court.

3. sorry I can’t and won’t consider his “concern” for the Queen for just 2 scenes after 11 episodes…. for gud 11 episodes he didn’t turn his face and feet towards her quarters and suddenly when he got to know that finally she doesn’t have much time left, he decided to bestow her with his presence….🙄🙄🙄

   been feeling so sad and bad for the Queen, but felt extremely bad for the poor boy, he called someone “Mother” after so long, and she died right then and there….🥺🥺😭😭

5. She really sucks at this whole spy thing or whatever. She got clocked on DAY ONE for planning to kill him and now she’s somehow boohooing and shocked that he figures there’s an assassin hiding? She continuously plans things behind his back and she thinks he doesn’t know what she’s up to at this point?? And I mean, he mostly agrees with the outcome of her schemes but she does in a way that endangers everyone around her. Maybe it’s because she’s not a court official, but it’s sad for someone so intelligent and skilled at a strategy game to be blind to the strategy game the king is playing with the principal director.

   RIP to our queen 😢. I’m glad the crown prince gets to mourn her as his mother though.

   Also, I must have missed something but what the hell was that with Senior Court Lady Dong and the late king’s bloody finger??? Gave me the ick 😖

6. Sick of her teary eyes. ..always tearing up to cry due to the inconsistency of her feelings and emotions, as well as the uncertainty of her decisions. She has pretty much put so many at risk. ..and its getting annoying becos FL should at least have a steady plan and communicate. She could have asked the King why he said what he said regarding Crown Prince to see if King was playing along with Uncle. I mean King has basically done everything shes asked and has gone out of his way to save her. His actions should mean to her that hes doing his best (i.e. Appointing CP, challenging the Uncle). But to overhear something and then to assume, followed by a RDV that shes really unsure of is putting the lives of others at risk. Dumb really and if shes always going to cry. ..this will tire her out and have no more energy for the rest of the show. ..its the Kings energy and his strategizing thats keepin me watching this drama, otherwise the teary eyes just puts me off …
