I read that since this drama did not portray the North Koreans too negatively, it was a big hit in North Korea and China. Thw female lead Ha Ji Won supposedly talks with a distinct North Korean accent.

dodgerman, I finished ep 8 last night - will take a break from this and go back to Gu family - there maybe on ep 5 as well...
madman999 - interesting observation - she certainly speaks differently from the rest of them - not sure if it's her accent or what. In some of the dramas we saw on WMBC such as the TV Novels that took place out in the countryside they definitely spoke with a local accent and grammar which was quite different from the way they speak in dramas that take place in Seoul. Even though I know very very little Korean it was obvious...

came back to this and just finished episode 12. The girl in the bar with the King was the first person speaking English that I was able to understand every word. Even the English speakers who are not Korean seem to be speaking an accented form of English.

I watched a couple of episodes over the weekend. It is now up to the WOC games....I'm enjoying it. I am glad Jae Ha and Hang Ah are back together. I wonder if there is a chance for the princess and Eun ShiGyung. They speak Japanese much better than English....lol....

I just finished episode 15. Why doesnt the King tape the talks he has with Crazy Johnny??? Every time they speak, he incriminates himself.

I think I'm on ep 14 - they are at the WOC games and just picked the US Team - also the Princess fell out of the wheelchair at the state dinner....when she saw the woman who was at the house where her brother was killed. I am not sure what the significance of that woman eating a chocolate is...
I like this better than Gu right now - that one is getting on my nerves so I will watch this for a couple of days....
This one has 24 eps, a bit more than the usual....

I think The M club did see sort of psychological abuse on the princess when they captured her. I think the chocolate and the music was some sort of "manchurian candidate" style conditioning.

btw, above I was confused (as usual)- King has 20 eps and Gu Family 24....I wish it were the opposite as I like King much better. I am up to maybe ep 16 - the elder queen and queen2B are going on a foreign volunteer trip and there is a problem at the location - sounds like something M Club has dreamed up..... Why can't the King tell the truth to the Chief Sec'y's son....so annoying sometimes!

I am in the middle of ep 16 and will try to finish it before I leave for vacation next week. I doubt that I will finish Gu family since I am up to ep 14 of 24.

How long will you be gone, dodgerman, if I may ask.....not too many members left here....you will be missed. Glad you told us, I get worried easily.... Enjoy!
