her missing dragon and dragon balls so so funny.

I watched this on a whim yesterday, and wow, Choi Jin-hyuk and Shin Hye-sun are comedy gold! Hopefully they'd continue having Choi Jin-hyuk's voiceovers all throughout.

The court intrigue and the monarch remembered differently by history is giving me Scarlet Heart: Ryeo vibes while the ninja vigilantes remind me of Chicago Typewriter. Good thing Bong-hwan's parents were history teachers and he actually remembered stuff lol.

So-yong's flashbacks make it seem that Cheol-jong despises her, but it was weird that at the gisaeng house his companions told him to not let his emotions take over when they recognized that the guy who barged in on them was actually So-yong in disguise... Hmmm, does he have feelings for her?

Also my boy Na In-Woo as the queen's cousin who seems to have a crush on her? Yes please! Kim Won-hyung was a laughable villain in MPUB, so I'm hoping he's a meaningful character here. Episode 1 showed that he's a capable warrior and episode 2 showed that he's cunning and can play politics, so there's that.

Court Lady Choi is turning out to be the most-stressed character in this show lol.

i don't think i've laughed this hard in a long time! the first episode was comedic gold from the acting to the hilarious directing and bgm. Even if he's only a special appearance choi jin hyuk feels like a vital of this hilarious story and i hope they have him for a long time. Needless to say shin hye sun nails this role and i hope they keep this momentum till the end.

It was pretty funny. I love to watch Shin Hye-Sun with our Zombie Detective's voice as thoughts. She nailed the role as a man in the body of a woman.

I never was a fan of Kim Hung-Hyun and if I found completely boring in the scene with Jo Hwa-Jin, for the rest he was good.

The politics look pretty complicated with the different clans and power war. It's hard to focus with so much humor the rest of the time.

Shin Hye-sun was made for this role! I lost count of how many different facial expressions she had in just the first episode! I love that we get to hear Choi Jin-hyuk’s voice when Bong-hwan is thinking, his deep voice makes it that much more funnier

The show is so funny, so when I read somewhere that this is a remake of chinese drama, I go googling. And finished reading the whole synopsis (35 episodes plus 1 special episode)

But I have a good vibes that kdramaland wll have something new to offer regards the original novel.

And I can't complain to see less of Choi Jin Hyuk because I can still hear his deep sexy voice.

the political issue here is heavier than i expected. somehow the queen (or her whole clan?) is the antagonist and the king hates her so so so so so much. Jang Bonghwan is aware of the issue but he chooses to not give a fuck about it. its going to take some time for them to be in the same page. i wish it won't be so frustrating.

First episode is a non-stop laugh, second episode is slower but with more intrigues. We all know that Cheol-jong is not a mere clown, but is the angelic Jo Hwa-jin really that straight of an arrow? Along with that, am also liking that Bong-hwan has a mystery to figure out (beside how to get his dragon balls back): what makes So-yong tick and who is responsible for her drowning.

Shin Hye-sun and Choi Jin-hyuk made a great meld as one person, love how in sync the inner voice with the expression. All the characters are a hoot, especially both So-yong's ladies. I died when the Grand Dowager Queen did the manual wrinkle treatment! But so far Kim Tae-woo's character scares the heck out of me...

OHHH!! This one exceeds my expectation! at least in the opening week, for now. And I think all the credit really goes to Shin Hyesun for that (because we haven't seen non-puppet Cheoljong much).

I didn't realize this until someone else figure it out but most of the times actress who is able to pull this kind off over the top comedic characters is actually pretty funny in real life but I do think Shin Hyesun is more on the shy and calm side of the spectrum. So it is more amazing if you think it that way tbh. And She is great as candy girl (Still 17, still loving that) and as serious character (I catch a glimpse of Angel and recently watched Innocence. she's great!) and this amazing character just add to her list of versatility as an actress. Also love how the total of 30 secs we saw the real Kim Soyong were really distinguishable from Bonghwan possessed Kim Soyong.

Although, I do hope the court intrigues didn't get so heavy and draggy because honestly I just want to see Kim Soyong being flirty and trying to kiss Grand Dowager's ass while Cheoljong looks so disgusted.

And I honestly didn't know where they are going with this drama. I kinda searched the original one and what happened with it, I don't think with how prim and proper Kdrama is they are really going with Bonghwan (inside Kim Soyong) falling in love with Cheoljong and vice versa. But anyway I can't wait for the loveline to happen and to find out what happened with Kim Soyong because she just seems so... sad....

I really enjoyed the premiere week, plenty of LoL wacky moments and yes to Choi Jin-Hyuk’s sexy inner monologue. Please let us have his sexy deep voice throughout the drama.

And Shin Hye-Sun - she is amazeball 💕💕💕 (even w/out her dragonball 🤣🤣）and I don’t trust the sweet young thing of a royal concubine. I didn’t warm up to the king in Ep1 but I see glimpses of something I like in Ep2 so hopefully his character will grow on me as the drama progresses coz I do like the actor.

And please please most important of all, drama don’t you derail 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 20 episodes kinda long and more room to crash and burn (well technically not true as evidenced by a certain drama that shall not be named when the last 5 minutes of its last episode nullified whatever fun and good it did earlier)

So far, I like it! And I must say, So Yong/Bong Hwan is a "he" for me, his current female body doesn't change that. Shin Hye Sun adapting Choi Jin Hyuk's expressions and mannerisms is pure gold. I would love it if CJH's voice stays till the end, similar to the narrator voice in "Jane the Virgin" who is a character of his own.
On the other hand, palace intrigues are not really my cup of tea, so my prayer goes to the drama gods (and writers) that the future episodes keep up the humour and observations of gender roles. Right now I am shipping So Yong/Bong Hwan with his maid, they make a very cute couple.

Love the 1st week. The clear story and the clear characterisation really helps us to understand where the plot is moving. The acting is great and not to mention the camera placement. So many beautiful sceneries and how they placed the actors are really well done. Choi Jin Hyuk's voice with Shin Hye Sun matched so well, I wasn't aware that CHJ is even here.

I watched Go Princess Go a long time ago and that drama is a parody and I believe they tried their best with the budget, it hilarious. Despite the presentation, you get what they are trying to say, it such a ridiculous drama. Therefore, I am so glad that there is another remake with a different view, it's more comedy, not totally weird and probably can get more serious later on.

Love how KJH just slide on with his witty "scholar remark" as The King doesn't run and how you need to enjoy the moonlight better to set up the mood. I also like how the maid just straight up put Kim So Yong in her place when she messed up the stand.

Totally love how KSY just slide the misunderstanding of who is the "Queen dowager", that's super smooth.

We haven't got much Royal related Saeguk in 2020 but I've seen that 2021 has a lot of slot for the royal family.

As I've watched Go Princess Go and still remember some of its, I anticipated how KSY agree with the king and royal concubine love story but everyone totally misunderstand what she really mean.

Definitely a fun opener - I'll be sticking around. Shin Hye-sun is owning this - everything she does is timed to perfection.

I slightly worried that the court politics are so intricate that they needed an entire tree diagram to explain it... I'm not a huge fan of having to take notes on who's on what side and why, so I *really* hope they steer clear of that and make it fairly easy to follow.

This was such a good beginning! Shin Hye-sun is really selling her role but what made the show for me was Choi Jin-hyuk's hilarious voiceover. Hope his hilarious silent reactions continue for a good while yet!

I love this drama!
Shin Hye-Sun rocks!
Choi Jin-Hyuk's special appearance was great in Ep.1 and oh his inner voice!
It reminds me of Zombie Detective which I love love love.
His inner voice will be switched to Shin Hye-Sun's voice at some point (maybe from Ep.3)...? That would be a bummer!
Both main leads are fantastic of course and Cha Chung-Hwa (Court Lady Choi) is amazing.
Politics in the palace is hard to follow, I had to google the relationship and the history of the royal family in Chosen Dynasty.
Now I'm prepared and ready for Ep.3!
I can't wait for the weekend. This and The Uncanny Counter!

If this drama is going to keep up like the first two episodes, it could make it to the highest-rating drama list of 2020 (2021?) or even all time!
I really hope it will be great until the end!

Because Shin hyesun does tragic so well, I forgot how comic she can be. Sageuks have never been a favorite genre but mostly because of the "too" serious nature of them, but this one just catches the eye. While it does seem that there is controversy because of the use of actual historic figures, I can't say it bothers me because I know nothing about Korean history except for what I see in dramas. So, I enjoyed this.

As always Shin Hye Sun elevates her dramas. I love it and I hope it continues to be funny. Her dragon indeed.

I always expect a great performance from Shin Hye-sun and she has not disappointed me. She is my favorite actress for a reason.

Go Shin Hyesun! She's so funny! Hope we'll get an enemies to buddies arc, but please, drama, let me enjoy Soyong and Cheoljong tricking each other for a while

I really enjoyed the first two episodes.

Did anyone think it was funny that Choi Jin Hyuk changes into Shin Hye Sun in this drama, and in The Last Empress, a chubby normal guy after lots of exercise somehow turns into Choi Jin Hyuk?

I'm a bit late to the party.
I'll just say I had really fun, SHS is nailing the role!
I felt only a bit uncomfortable with one thing: I can fully understand that SoYong is worried about the wedding night, and is relieved to learned nothing happened (no one would want to be in that position), but then he goes to the gisaeng to pay to be surrounded by women. I know he's a man and loves women, but he's openly paying for them. It may be a comic relief but I didn't quite like that.

I laughed so much during the first two episodes. Shin Hye-sun is doing a great job.

I wasn't sure about this K-Drama, but all these comments have convinced me to watch it tonight!

I love the drama, the actress and the characters all. Can't wait for next episode.
What I'm most curious though, how about the romance?

Loved it, though I'm worried about future court politics overwhelming the story. So many great scenes! Shin Hye Sun and Choi Jin Hyuk seem to be on the same comedic wavelength and SHS with Kim Jung Hyun have amazing comedic chemistry. I love all of Bong-hwan's mannerisms and how SHS is able to display that player swag. And that urinal scene of him crying about his dragon was hilarious. Can't wait until he gets to show off his chef skills.

And I love it when Kim Jung jyun/Cheoljung is just yanking your chain. He has that blank-too-innocent look sometimes that practically screams "I'm up to something / I'm being frustrating on purpose".

Shin Hye Sun delivers with her acting chops yet again! Excited to see where they take the story!

I was a fan of the Chinese web series. Still need to read the novel. Glad Korea made a remake

I'm finally getting around to this show and love it.

I so desperately wanted her head court lady to somehow be carrying socks in the early chase scene where the soon-to-be-queen freaks out and just starts running. They always seem to have all sorts of things hidden up their sleeves, so why not royal socks?

Kim Hye Sun is hands down one of the best comedic talents in kdrama. She just nails this role. I mean it was already obvious in her role in Legends of the Blue Sea (2017) but here it's full blown awesomeness. Awesome cast.
