[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 4 Review

Highlights

There was a time jump in the story. Prince Gwanghae pursued his interest in face reading. He disguised himself as one and read faces for free. But he was caught in a fight and while running away, his eunach Im Young Shin was there to help him fight. Ga Hee appeared disguised as a man again. She aimed her arrow towards the man who was fighting with the Prince. She even made the man run from her. She was not recognized by Gwanghae.

The King by now has a new concubine and seems that he is happier. But there is one woman who is not happy, Gwiin Kim. She looks jealous of the attention that the King is pouring to his new concubine.

The Japanese continues to do illegal business in Joseon. But Do Chi's group intercepted them and stole their goods. There was a fight within the group because one man spoke about the way their group has resorted to stealing. Do Chi echoed his thoughts that he too understands him.

Ga Hee and Do Chi became close and she treats him as her orabeoni. Do Chi was also interested in face reading. He would also take the auxiliary exam at the palace. He aims to go inside the palace and be near the King.


Gwanghae is also taking the exam in disguise. During the exam, the palace maid who tasted the King's food died. Everyone at the exam ground is suspected of harming the King. A palace maid pointed out towards Gwanghae who looked like the one who entered the kitchen. Do Chi used the chance to make a deal with the King. He would find out who the killer was by looking at the face of the palace maid who died. He argued that reading a face will also reveal a crime committed. If he is successful in solving the crime, he should be given the top spot in the test result. If not, he offered himself as the one to be punished.

Both Gwanghae and Do Chi looked at the dead palace maid. Both were using their skills to read the face.

-------------------------

I think Do Chi would be able to solve the case. But his face reading pointed towards a  possible illness that the victim had that leads to early death and not related to food poison.

This is going to be the turning point of the drama for a new twist. Prince Gwanghae versus Kim Do Chi inside the palace. I wonder how would Do Chi reacts if he realized that the man in front of him is actually the Prince who has a face that can lead the country in a progressing way.

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d
