TPM! Isn't it great? My heart was breaking during SR and SY's date because I knew what was coming. At least they had a few fleeting moments of happiness before everything went down to hell.
Wait until you see the angst of the next episodes! The ends of episodes 9 and 10 are particularly nerve-wracking. Poor SR and SY. They were so cute and sincere and in love. And they came down to this. I know we'll get at least a couple of happier moments between the two because there are still 12 episodes left but I bet they'll plundge into even more despair afterwards.
I go to the soompi thread often for this drama and not many people believe in a conventional HEA for it so they came up with TPM version of a HEA: that SY and SR both die together. I agree with them. I wouldn't want to see one living on after the other is dead.
I have no idea where the drama is going. The only thing I know for sure is that Sooyang will become king but I'm not quite certain yet. Maybe in episode 14 or 15? Oh, and also that a bunch of people will die, some of them probably pretty soon too.
Speaking of bloodshed...I confess I'm a tiny bit disappointed by the way the writers are developing Sooyang. I was hoping to see a cold, ambitious man with a genius for politics but who could still be conflicted over some issues. I wanted a gray character but feel I'm being given a cartoonish villain instead. I'm not losing hope though, there's still enough time for more development.
I'm translating episode 12 tomorrow so that'll give me an excuse to rewatch the episode when I do the final check to look for typos and mistakes. That'll tidy me over until episode 13 on wednesday.
