10 thoughts on “Thoughts on ‘Daebak (The Royal Gambler)’ Episode 16”

  1. this ep make me think..its hard to become a king..the king have to be very cautious and alert with his surrounding..cant fully trust anyone. afraid the throne would fall to someone else. like lij said ” u cant be a friend or ally forever”.kkk..I dont remember that one..something like that..but lij is too pessimist. its maybe true and wrong at the same time..he definitely have a trust issues..its his weakness point. instead..the king have his loyal subject..his childs which is his strength..but with lij try to change the game by telling daegil about his dead father is alive..I start to panic.afraid if daegil may do reckless thing again..and about dam seo..I hope the writer do well with this character’s development..its like they forgot she’s the first lead actress.kkkk…

    thanks..its a good recap.

  3. Great review, Cathy!:) I love that scene with Dae Gil and his mom too. Suk is so good there. Dae Gil didn´t say much, but we saw how hard that was for him, how cofused he was…

    I wonder too what will happen with Dam Seo/Dae Gil-story. We´ve seen some really beatuful scenes before.I still have hopes for them. 🙂

  5. Thanks to all the eels that like my ever 1st recap and thought of the drama!!
    By the way, I think I miss out some words in the 2nd paragraph, in the ( ) is mean JKS carried out the inner feeling of Dae Gil so well. Sorry for that .

  6. It’s so hard to guess what the king is thinking..is he rlli helping Dae Gil by no disclosing his identity? Or does he rlli take him as a hunting dog?? Is Dae Gil gonna fight the king n yeoning moving forward?? Omg…so many questions…can’t wait!!

    • its the first time the king had lost his reason..I think when he teach yeoning about how he should act as a king is all true. its to protect his place..the throne .because there should be only one king. I think when he order the two to catch lij…he do it only for suk bin. hes not the type to catch someone without proof. u can see how disappointed he is when yeoning cant prove lij’s crimes. to me..the king is the same with lij..the one who will do anything to get something. the diff is just the position. someone to protect and someone to challenge the throne.
