Only twelve episodes left so I’ll see this series through, of course, but I’m starting to lose some of the enthusiasm I had for it. Mainly because way too much of the story is running through Mistress Moon. Once again in this episode, she goes to her superiors and spreads dirt and causes unrest and then goes back home and laughs and laughs about it. How many times are we going to get this very same thing? Over and over—never seen anything like it in a historical before. Ugh.
Hey hey, the dreaded wooden poles on the legs! Good to see our old torture friend again.
“Why is your nose bleeding?” Yeah that’s a very good question, since those slaps went nowhere near her nose.
“…we must first uproot them.” Wow, now the prince is getting way ahead of himself, isn’t he? I don’t understand this, it seems rash for him to be diving into this so suddenly. Maybe this really did happen; it just seems sudden.
“Have you heard the rumor? Lady Moon’s eyes popped out.”
”I hear Lady Moon lost all her teeth. What did you hit her with?”
Yeah I’d be laughing too. At how nuts this whole thing has gotten.
And now even LH and the queen can’t keep from smirking over it.
“Rumors are rampant…that I hit lady Moon and she lost all her teeth and she became a hunchback.” Okay this did get to be pretty funny, at how outlandish the gossip became.
And now a clenched fist! Two of the best cliches in one episode, love it!
Another thing I don’t understand here is why Youngjo would be shocked that anyone might suggest that the crown prince could be his successor. Maybe something’s getting lost in the translation?
Youngjo does seem to be kind of a pushover when it comes to the women in his life. Forgiving Hwawan so easily, this is only going to lead to more trouble down the road. I wonder if the real Youngjo was like this.
