The King and I

[ginnycat5]

Isn't there a thread for this already? Nothing came up in a search.

I just watched one episode on fuzzy channel 41 at 2:30pm. The king and queen actors have been in other dramas. It was so good to see them. He is Ko Joo-wan and she is Ku Hye-sun. www.arirang.co.kr/Tv2/Tv_PlusHomepage_Intro.asp?PROG_CODE=TVCR0679&MENU_CODE=101700
The names don't ring a bell. From Korean Wiz site: His name is Go Joo Wan, from Chill Sisters and Bizarre Bunch. Her name is Goo Hye Sun from Pure in Heart.

The main character is a eunuch who had been exiled, but I didn't catch the reason. He just returned today and reviewed some of his history with a servant. The eunuch had castrated himself, the servant said..... yikes! In childhood, the eunuch had been best friends with the king and queen, and he loved the queen so he castrated himself in order to stay with her and protect her. A court maid just told him that she wants to marry him. ??

I tried to delete an empty line of space and the whole post disappeared. so, too bad. No recovery with command + z.

Just saw another episode this evening; may not have been the next in sequence, but I missed the beginning so who knows?

Pregnant court lady, who's the father?, investigate and talk to everyone but somehow keep it secret from the upper echelons.... The queen found out. All men interviewed denied being the One. Someone said, Maybe it's a eunuch...

King in disguise, at cafe with hero/eunuch, overhears a man talking about so many hungry people, is surprised; he'd been thinking that all is well in the kingdom. While in disguise, king passes a woman with robe over head and shoulders, camera speed slows and alternates from man to woman several times, they turn and look at each other after they pass. They must be important long-lost good friends....

ed. to add: this aired at 8:30pm.

LOL. I watched this one, Ginny. It's very good, and the girl lead was also in The Musical, if you watched that (and that may be why she seems familiar to you).
