This is a very good episode. A lot of forward movement in the development of our 2 main characters Myeong Nong and Seolnan, and the spy story arc. I also like this episode because Myeong Nong is not just reacting to things going on around him as he has been doing for so many episodes … Continue reading
After watching episode 36, I can now better understand the rationale behind Myeong Nong’s actions toward Seolnan in episode 37 during their fake date. He is not heartless nor cruel after all. I find Dorim to be such an intriguing character. Why can’t she leave Baekje? How can the King be so sure of her … Continue reading

Myeong Nong (to Training Officer): Do you think she can take on Koguryo now? Do you think she can face Koguryo’s fierce North … Continue reading
“Shadow love” is a phrase coined by the producers of “King’s Daughter” to describe the nature of Myeong Nong’s “love” for Seolnan in this episode. “Shadow love” because Myeong Nong keeps shadowing (or following) Seolnan wherever she goes, giving her support and encouragement whenever she needs it. JHJ didn’t have much scenes in these 2 … Continue reading

HIGHLIGHTS Jinmu: What is good with the love of a dead man? A love I never saw, never felt. Muryeong: Nothing matters other than wine and women? Is … Continue reading

From outside Hongrim calls out to Jinmu, the King is waiting outside the Portrait Room. To save Seolhee, Jinmu goes outside the Portrait Room pretending to be drunk. … Continue reading
