5.0/10 - The "what really happened that night" scenes are really starting to drag.

*something went wrong and somehow my reviews for 27 and 28 ended up being combined and together. So this is just a lump review of the two.* Sunny's care of Princess Ari is sweet. Someone needs to teach her compassion and understanding before they have another monster in the royal line. It was interesting that Lee Hyuk didn't by a word of Nanny Kang Hee's lies. I wonder why he kissed her? To see why he'd betray his first wife with Kang Hee? Lee Hyuk jumping on Sunny's bad and trying to save her was very interesting and kind of cute. What an actor! I find all these flashback about what everyone was doing during or to Grand Empress Dowager boring. Once set of false and then the truth would make more sense. It's just getting out of control now. Not to mention tiring. Hel Ro is one smooth operator. She doesn't know he's the Crown Prince yet, so at least Lee Yoon should know she really likes him. Okay. WTF!!! Why wouldn't Chun Woo Bin have been super careful? He gave Yu Ra her freedom, I don't think she broke out, and of course she's gonna go to where she told him the body was. I just can't believe he wouldn't have kept his mask on. Or sent someone else if he knew he couldn't do it. If Yu Ra was smart she'd have recorded the whole thing. Though I wonder if she's decided to use Woo Bin to get revenge on Lee Hyuk? Or she's gonna try and get them both. It was interesting seeing her tell Woo Bin that "Wang Shik" would get Lee Hyuk. Was it all an act? That said Lee Hyuk just suddenly being in Sunny's chamber was hella creepy! I hope he's not gonna force himself on her!Now I have to be a bit annoyed, more than annoyed, about the fact that one was protecting the maid who was witness and could clear Sunny! Sunny has a the help of a secret organization. After she was already held captive why wouldn't they be protecting her? WHY!?

Chun Woo Bin is a master at making cave to his will. First making Yu Ra his pawn and then to actually strangle Lee Hyuk. Making both of them believe that Na Wang Shik is alive again. I mean, duh, he is. But that's an interesting move. Now Empress Dowager is on the ropes! But everyone has back up plans. Empress Dowager's move to have Sunny's father be enraged by her living situation was a bit silly. She doesn't get resilience or strength. The human condition. Chun Woo Bin is still really playing Princess Soo Jin. Though I think he might really mean it when he tells her not to trust Empress Dowager. Chun Woo Bin's plan to get Lee Hyuk is working. Lee Hyuk is a loser. Phew.

7.0/10 - Everyone is working hard to out each other.

I was right! Woo Bin wants the Lee Hyunk to want Sunny! I love her reaction to the idea! Hard pass. Which I'm sure Woo Bin likes. Overall their reactions together are great. Their both like I don't care about you. We're keeping it non-personal, but then they're worried about each other. Yep. Yu Ra didn't die. I hate it when shows don't have enough guts to kill off leads. I guess Woo Bin really does need to know what happened to his mother's body. Not to mention he might want to make her suffer more. I do see Princess Soo Jin really working everyone over. Almost as good as good as woo Bin. Maybe Princess Soo Jin will pull a huge surprise on everyone before this drama is over.It's impressive that Nanny Seo Kang Hee took that drug just like that to make her self sterile. She's prepared to die for this goal. She ain't playing. Princess Ari is so sweet, it's a ll a bit sad that all of this is happening around her.

7.0/10 - I hope the writing can keep up this amazing pace!

Yu Ra is super worried. Though I'm confused why Lee Hyuk didn't just say he went drinking. Her temper is gonna get the best of her. Also, the surgery is just off like that!!? The killer face off between Yu Ra and Woo Bin was pretty epic, and kind of worth it. To see him threaten her, he won by the way. That bullet should have been attended to no matter what. It's a weakness that could get him killed!Um. Wow. If Yu Ra isn't saved or made it out magically at after this I give them mad props! That was amazing. Though why was it so important that Woo bin ignore Lee Hyuk's calls? That Lee Hyuk see Woo Bin and Sunny hug? Hmmmmmmm? Make Lee Hyunk want Sunny? Now the most important thing! Lee Yoon and Hel Ro!!! First it started off as a stupid accidental kiss. Then boom! Hel Ro is all I like this and I"m gonna get a real kiss! Romance!

7.0/10 - Wow things are happening!!!

That was so cool how that doctor was "on call" and got that code. How do these people know they can trust Sunny? Was it out in a secret organization meeting? Either way: cool! And I'm glad something is going to be done about that bullet. Not to mention that Sunny has people to help her now! So we now know the truth. Empress Dowager was jealous of the first Empress's marriage with Lee Hyuk. So she worked on her son's weaknesses and made him believe that the first Empress was having an affair with a bodyguard. I assume that bodyguard ended up dead too? So So Hyun, the first Empress, was disgusted how easily Lee Hyuk turned from her and was willing to buy such lies. They fought. He ended up choking her. Then causing her to fall into the pond left her there to drown with their unborn baby. So chilling. Lee Hyuk is so shocked by that skirt in the pond he just comes running straight to Nanny Seo Kang Hee. I bet she planted it because it's the anniversary of So Hyun's murder. She's playing Lee Hyuk like the silly little boy he is. So Hyun was right about him being a loser. There's a lot of movements going on here. Yu Ra trying to be rid of her son and the last of her past. Byun Baek Ho moving in with Sunny's family with Yu Ra's son. The Empress Dowager doesn't suspect a thing since she ordered Chun Woo Bin to win Sunny over. Lee Yoon is making his own plays now! The biggest shock is that Empress Dowager is all right with Nanny Seo Kang Hee having Lee Hyuk spend the night. It does make sense. Empress Dowager wants her sons full loyalty and anything to keep him away from Yu Ra.

7.0/10 - Amazing episode!

Ugh!! I greatly dislike that Byun Baek Ho and Sunny's father have a past. Oh, well. At least their greeting was fun to watch. Looks like despite all the plots that have been falling threw Chun Woo Bin ticking bullet is still an issue. Which sucks as Lee Hyuk has totally fallen for Chun Woo Bin! He's so enamored by him! It's kind of sweet. He wants to call him brother and he's so enraged by his exes betrayal of him. Yu Ra of course can't leave anyone who might be close to Lee Hyuk alone. I wonder if the pills are really that damning? They can's exactly just be for gun shot wounds to the head. He did say he had a head injury from falling on a rock. Sunny's morning show is smart. Using her actress skills and natural charms to win over the people and media. Her sister gets it. If she doesn't make one everyday people will talk. It's life insurance. I mean she's sleeping in the tub with a bat! Saying it's how she's gonna make a living after Empress Dowager cut her off financially is super smart as well. Vincent Lee. The crown prince is starting to help out. I really like the idea of the crown prince and Sunny's sister hitting it off. Imagine if he becomes the Emperor and she the new Empress! Amazing! I hope this means those two will now join the main plot. Oh, my gosh! The bite mark. There is no way it was still there after all that time she did not bite him hard enough! Then he gets hit in the head with that brick! I'm pretty sure you can't get an MRI with a bullet in your head. Death! Gain magnet. To the google. Yep. It's dangerous and could kill you. Depends on if it's steel, the type of MRI machine, and how deep the bullet is. So that's a huge error. Oh, well. I'm so glad Sunny officially, offiically, knows everything! Yeah! Now these two can team up!

7.0/10 - Sunny is totally doing it for Grandma.

Holy dramas! Did Lee Hyuk just ask who Sunny thought tarnished his reputation. Not to mention that he said, "I didn't think she'd go this far!" Um. You literally tried to kill her TWICE! *shakes head* I love the conversation between Lee Hyuk and Chun Woo Bin after Lee Hyuk and Empress Dowager decided that Chun Woo Bin should seduce Sunny: "It'll be easier to follow your order to kill her than seduce her." -Chun Woo Bin
"It's not that hard. If you're nice to her, you'll win her over in no time." -Lee Hyuk
"Your Magesty, it won't matter to you even if I end up falling for her . . . while trying to seduce her?" -Chun Woo Bin
Laughter "That will never happen. There isn't a part of her you'll fall for. No need to worry about such a pointless thing." *more laughter* "Gosh, he's funny. -Lee HyukFirst off:Chun Woo Bin has tried to kill Sunny and her family!
Secondly: How stupid would Sunny have to be to fall for another guy? *sighs* At least Chun Woo Bin addresses his actions to Sunny. She has to know something is a bit off with him. From how she's been lucky to survive and seeing him swap those papers. I do feel a bit bad for Chun Woo Bin. He's already actively seducing Princess Soo Jin. Poor fella! Nanny Seo Kang Hee is really working this to her advantage. Princess Ari is super smart. There's no doubt to me she understands who her real mother is. But she knows Sunny made it all happen and will help her in this power play. Yu Ra is now a pawn. She had to know Lee Hyuk would only be interested in her for so long. I'm very curious what Sunny's plan is. Not to mention what happened with her poor family! She left them at the airport last episode and then all of a sudden Sunny's sister is there with Princess Soo Jin at work. *sighs*

6.0/10 - No one puts Sunny in a corner!

Nanny Seo Kang Hee made her move. Hope she made copies of those documents for future use before just handing them over to the Empress Dowager. Yep. I knew it. Princess Ari is hella smart. Oh, no! Ms. Hong!!! Wow, but she's helping the Grand Empress Dowager flip them off now! You go girl. I was just hoping better proof for Sunny would get everyone innocent clear of the crime. Not to mention when I was so happy to see Sunny's family save her, they all get nabbed! Sunny doesn't just stay down when she's knocked out. Ms. Oh was the last straw of injustice. I find it very satisfying to trap Lee Hyuk the very way he trapped her! Go Sunny! Also, the Empress Dowager and Yu Ra do make a great team.

6.0/10 - Clear Sunny's name faster!

Phew. Thank goodness they escaped. Boo on the director for easing us like that! Then the captian of the guard really caught him. Why would Lee Hyuk be so loyal to Chun Woo Bin? He's suspicious of everyone. The best part about this episode is we get to see the people working against the royal family. Not to mention Sunny gets the whole truth. I hope she finally gets the upper hand and clears her name. Also, we're really getting deep dive into the evil and madeness that is Lee Hyuk. So mad me procuces that gosh awful laugh! I think he's going for Joker, but it's not working. Chun Woo Bin enjoyed hitting him, until he realized "this dude be cray!"

7.0/10 - Drama things are heating up!!

Wow, poor Princess Soo Jin. She's horrible, but boy oh boy is she get pooped on. First she's removed from the job she wanted. Then her "daughter" is walking all over her now that she knows the truth. Though in Ari's defense Princess Soo Jin treats her like crap. No love lost. Though the worry when that book actually hit Ari gives me hope. So I need to bring up the irony that both Yu Ra and Lee Hyuk both have illegitimate kids? Both don't give a crap about that child. So why is Yu Ra so shocked. She says it's just because he didn't trust her, but she doesn't trust him. They are made for each other. The Prime Minister is gonna get Grand Empress Dowagers woman killed. First he's late. Then tell Grand Empress that Ms. Hong is waiting with the file! I burned with rage when Sunny's family couldn't grab the documents! Then to find out that Seo Kang Hee, Nanny, orchestrated the whole thing!!! YES! So Lee Hyuk did stab Grand Empress Dowager, but that wouldn't have been enough to kill her. The poison was lethal. The lethal kill down by Yu Ra. They're both so un-trusting they tried to be innocent to each other. But they're exactly a like. What did Empress Dowager do as well? I think they all tried to off her but Sunny. Finally Sunny brings up that Lee Hyuk decieved her. HOw about that she turned him down! Then he still went after her. What a power show! All three baddies workign together. It's a lethal combo. AT least Sunny has allies! Thank goodness. Going back to the palace was a huge risk. Why wouldn't Byun Baek Ho have just had Chun Woo Bin pick up the device? The ending makes it seem like everyone clearly saw Chun Woo Bin. Despite that isn't there a huge glaring plot whole here. Firs they found poison in the tea Yu Ra left. After she lied about going. Yet all of a sudden another poison pops up on the food Sunny sent in. They've got the police in their pockets. That better be what it is.FIGHTING SUNNY!

7.0/10 - Who dun it!?

It's so creepy I don't know if Lee Hyuk did or didn't do it. Sunny thinks he did. After that chase and beating . . . I agree. It's gonna be a shock if he didn't. I'm just annoyed it's gonna go down the path of Sunny being framed. She still hasn't even gotten to clear her good name of that affair gossip! Not to mention when are we gonna see her martial arts skills? Like protecting her self from Chun Woo Bin? I mean she's gotten physical with Yu Ra now! Holy cow! They should have left Grand Empress Dowager alive! But I get it she would never stand for all this so she had to go. But I am so proud of her! One of the few smart drama people to make sure to have a back up encase they are killed! Go Grand Empress Dowager! I like that Chun Woo Bin and the old man are working together completely now. We didn't get to see the big reveals and team up with them. So now it's nice to know they are helping one another. Also Chun Woo Bin is deciding on how he want his revenge. Thank goodness! I was so relieved when he said he'd protect Sunny. I honestly thought maybe he'd totally flipped out. Apparently Lee Hyuk flipped out! Yikes. Yu Ru really gets to see his kill all side. She didn't look to worried or surprised he pulled a gun on her. After all it wasn't to long ago he asked for her to be murdered. When is Yu Ra gonna flip on him? Not to mention Lee Yoon popping up like that! He's gotta know he needs to tread lightly. His brother loathes him and would kill him. But he loved Grand Empress Dowager so much. But to then talk to the old man, Byun Baek Ho the late Empress's father, right outside the palace. Byun Baek Ho should no better at least.

7.0/10 - Chun Woo Bin means to have every royal on his side.

Sunny means business! She's digging up everything. Empress Dowager better look out because everyone is either jumping from team Empress Dowager or gunning for her. Though I didn't expect Ari's nanny to try and get support from Sunny so fast. Her end goal was protection under Grand Empress Dowager, but still. Back to Sunny who is moving super fast! Maybe she can save herself from scandal! FIGHTING! Though first rule of spying or surveillance: never have a light on your device!!!!!! To make up for that I love that Sunny notices Chun Woo Bin was the one who swapped damning papers on the Empress Dowager. Which in turn Chun Woo Bin takes to Empress Dowager to win her over. Not only did he win Empress Dowager over, Chun Woo Bin trying to seduce Princess Soo Jin! She is a man eater so that works well for him. (I'd eat Chun Woo Bin up too!) Though I'm not sure what he could use Princess Soo Jin for. I wonder if this is just to make Princess Soo Jin like Chun Woo Bin just in case. Cause, yep, he's seducing her. After that whole bit scene there's no denying it.I need full confirmation if the old man told Chun Woo Bin about his daughter? How much are they in for together taking out the royal family? Talk about playing games! I thought the Grand Empress Dowager really wasn't going to turn Lee Hyuk in. Phew, but she might be in danger now! At least it's revealed that the old man not only was the first Empress's father, but the chief guard. Then it happened. Faster than I thought. The only good royal being murdered. Like Sunny would ever do it! With the little Prince's return!

6.0/10 - Where was Sunny's martial arts skills?

Holy dominoes!!! Chun Woo Bin killed Sunny! Or he made it look like it and had his buddy old man will save her. Because we all know Sunny can not swim! Plus that's frozen winter water! Either way he didn't know if she'd survive the fall. Chun Woo Bin is not messing around. Bring hellfire Sunny. Bring hellfire. Oh, and was she. There's no way she was just gonna runaway and let the injustices stand. Though just as she's getting smart, taking pictures of Lee Hyuk and Yu Ra's infidelity, Chun Woo Bin. First she didn't have an auto upload save. Secondly when did she then later on get a phone? Sunny needs to figure out how to clear her name and let everyone know she was almost murdered. Oh, yikes! The Emperor has shed his mask. Yu Ra should be a little worried. More than. My biggest question is Grand Empress Dowager going to do now? She knows her grandson is a monster. Not to mention how much more involved is the old man gonna get. We now know he was the father of the first Empress and I need to know how much of a team up Chun Woo Bin and him are in for now.

6.0/10 - Everything is out of control!

Oh, I thought I had heard wrong before that Princess Ari was the maid's child. Wow! Lee Hyuk is just a busy pollinator! >_< So now Lee Hyuk shouldn't just fear Prince Yoon, but his daughter. Which I totally agree with: girls should be able to rule! Kang Hee (Ah Ri's Nanny) is clearly scheming. Scheming enough that Empress Dowager never even expected it. Though Kang Hee may have tipped her hand now. I like that she, Kang Hee, is working with the Prime Minister! Speaking of Empress Dowager. Sunny really made some power moves. Just that one sentence from the Empress Dowager and she used her secret weapon! The Grand Empress Dowager! Granny is gonna help Sunny no matter what. It's so tough as I now love both my girls! My sweet and innocent Sunny! My evil and awesome Yu Ra! Then all of a sudden out of no where Chun Woo Bin makes a true power move. Don't worry Sunny! We were all deceived. Who knew Chun Woo Bin was working Lee Hyuk by destroying you! The setup was amazing! I didn't see it at all until Sunny was walking right into it! Let's hope Sunny can come up with a plan to get out of this. Especially since she's not the guilty party. I hate it when a villain frames the innocent party for the very crime they're committing. Not to mention I'm wondering how far Chun Woo Bin is going to go helping the Emperor so that he can get his revenge. Not to mention how many extended scene flashbacks are we gonna get? Though they are powerful.As a total random observation Empress Dowager looks so cute in her glasses when she's gardening.

6.0/10 - Sunny was such a boss this episode!

I didn't mention last review. But that tear drop breaking Sunny's bracelet was intense! It seems so silly and way fake-over-the-top. It hit hard though. Sunny's response at everything hit home. Of course what are the chances there's a jumper there and only Sunny notices. Not to mention that the jumper did it because her husband was having an affiar. It did however setup a great in to probably one of the best scenes. Before I get into that scene it is quite true that Lee Hyuk and Sunny do make a beautiful and charming couple. If Lee Hyuk was really sincere that is. Sunny is an actress after all. She's got her own gifts and just PRed the crap out of that interview. Sunny isn't going down with out a fight. They may have got married fast, but she's in love. Applauds for making Lee Hyuk and Yu Ra eat with her! She gave them her opinion. It was amazing! The best scenes and dialogue yet. Though I felt that knife go in when Lee Hyuk just let Yu Ra take his hand behind her back. AFTER EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID!!!!!To contrast Sunny's suffering the whole Vincent Lee thing is really turning out priceless. It gives Sunny's sister a plot line and something to do. The actress playing Sunny's sister, Oh Hel Ro, is amazing. She's got acting chops and despite not giving enough time to shine or be defined as a character she's doing a great job. We know she's frugal and blunt, and takes no nonsense. She cares deeply for Sunny despite what she says most of the time. We can see it on her face and her body. Though I feel like their just wasting her. It's over the top—true—but I laugh! So it's A-Okay. Bodyguard romance is at an all time high, and it's swooning time! Points for that. Apparently Lee Hyuk must be very threatened by his Brother, Prince Yoon. I like the idea that Lee is the Crown Prince Yoon. A great contrast to Lee Hyuk.
