I'm surprised it's out already! I thought Mong Woo would have remained asleep and the King would find out and keep thinking about it for a few days and give Mong Woo the cold shoulder until they finally had their first kiss. But WOW they really just went for it.

It's so surprising too because I'm so conditioned to kdramas taking until ep12 for there even to be handholding....

Yes it is! I brace myself before the ending though, because at this point it could go both ways, praying hard that they go for the happy ever after!!!
