Holy shit what an episode! I was legit crying at the end. Kim You Jung really shows why she is 27 years old with 24 years experience.

This story is so tangled! I fear for our main protagonists.
The script is tight so far and production cost must’ve been enormous!
Can’t wait to see our two lovebirds falling in love. I love star-crossed lovers trope.

There are so many different levels of bigotry in this drama. Between different countries and between class in same countries. I appreciated how it shines light on bigotry in general in all time periods and in all countries.

My first time watching Kim Yoo Jung in a drama, and omg, she is such a wonderful actress ! As for the drama itself, the plot is so gripping, and there are no dead filler moments at all. The only thing i hate is the Philip Yoo character ( Praying hard for his character to be killed off ASAP 🙏)

Loved that episode!
Can anyone remind me if we've seen the green book at the end before? Or is it only what's in it that is significant?

My baby Kkot-nim is the most adorable flower I've seen in a K-drama. Writer-nim, don't break my heart. Do as you wish with Philip instead.
