I am cringing through the last episode of Kings Landing so much that I am worried I will have a permanent cringe face…

    It’s been 3 hours and mine has already smoothed out. You’ll be OK.

    Of course it took me something like 5 hours of frequently interrupted viewing time to hack my way through the last episode, so my face had less continuous cringe time to get stuck that way.

      I think we need a PSA out there for all those who have yet to watch it to prep a hydrating face mask to put on while watching it.

      I think I need one today for sure. The face masks I got from my recent trip to Korea will certainly come in handy.

      I have so many questions!!!

      1. How is Sarang running a ‘hotel’ without any staff? Should it be called a ‘guest house’ then?
      2. How long will her 100 year old grandma work for a living?
      3. Now that they are married where are they going to stay? In her far away ‘hotel’ or in Seoul?
      4. How did the noona’s motherly instincts kick in just like that?
      5. Why isn’t the other friend leaving her husband?
      6. How did King Hotel open up 16 branches in 16 different countries in a span of months?!?!

      I am sure I would have had more if I was paying more attention to what was happening in the screen.

        All these questions make me glad that I dropped the show after episode 10. Thanks for not letting me regret my decision.

        OK I have an additional question to which I actually do want an answer. This is not sarcasm. Again, I don’t know how to signal that on the internet, but I do mean it.

        *Did we or did we not think that Hwa-ran and Won were half-siblings?
        *Were we or were we not “told” that they are in fact full siblings at the wedding when Won’s mom seemed to greet Hwa-ran’s son as her grandson?

        Moreover, that kid is screwed. There was no happy ending fo him. He’s going to try and please her forever, and she’s going to get someone to try and please her forever—and never succeed.

          I think they were half-siblings, and that the kid was just doing little-kid family-math and calculating that his uncle’s mom must be his grandma. Also, he’d call her halmeoni as an honorific anyway, right?

          Also, agree that kid would be in for a world of hurt. Thank goodness it’s a logic-deprived fantasy!

          I think the Halmoni was the honorific title just like in some cultures you call your neighbourhood lady ‘auntie’

    Planning in a double feature tonight! Only have to watch these two episodes to get the BEAN dammit.
    *looks around to see if I have extra laundry to fold*
    Maybe I should start learning to knit while I force myself to finish?

      I can’t knit and embroidery requires too much focus, but I brushed my cats SO MANY TIMES during the last two episodes that the poor things are probably sore and scared to get up on the couch. But I got the BEAN! I won’t cheat, but this one should count double for the time wasted and sheer aggravation.

      I swear I folded laundry while ‘watching’ 😂

    YOU MADE IT TO THE END?? The gods of dramas know I did my best with this one. i really tried to go past ep 11. At this point, only the recaps on DB are keeping me updated on what happened in the next episodes. People watching to the end are currently the world’s bravest ngl 🤣🤣 I don’t have that level of patience

    I was binging on the tdrama The Way You Shine and somehow missed the last episode of KTL. hmmm now I understand why I didn’t watch. But darnit I want a BEAN for at least one drama this year. So I’ll watch it, I guess sometime this week.
    But thanks for the PSA!
    I’ve been enjoying the fluff of this show throughout, but the sister suddenly embracing her son in ep 15 left me hi and dry – ugh
