6.0/10

This is a mash up review of episode 5 and 6. I missed the "commercial break" and just kept writing my episode review like it was one big one! You know like the good old days!

Hae Ryung is so smart! She planned it from the get go, but if her husband to be hadn't manned up she would have had to go through with it. So she would have probably had a very nice husband. Though in Korea you really are marrying into the family, so everyone else would have been a mystery.

The test was interesting and the follow up for Hae Ryung by Yi Jin was intense! I felt like there was a follow up response: educate the people. However, maybe this was a test in to when to concede defeat and to let those higher up know the current answer? Either way, intense. I kind of felt her shock to when she passed. I mean it really felt like she didn't. Even though I knew she had to!

Yi Rim finally gets his freedom, due to his awesome question, and he wants to hunt down Hae Ryung and get revenge! Vengeful thing! The music implies other feelings. Though that brawl he let happen between Mr. Kim and his eunuch makes me lean towards vengeance.

Oh. Wow so he went to the villa, but this "Ho Dam" stuff is scary!

See these guys are still pissed off about being hazed. So they have to bully the ones that come after. Now that they're denied hazing rights on the women, isn't their extreme bullying the same thing? I mean for scholars this type of human cruelty and demeaning is ridiculous. That they want to do it. Because that's what it is. They want to. They could act like decent humans.

They're so upset about how the woman get to just "jump ahead". Women were not allowed to learn. They have their own hardships. I wish they'd share that a bit. Yes the men do. Yes the women got to skip things. But let's be honest. They're constantly treated like property and trained to be wives. That they are women and should not be good at anything. They have their own trails, work, and what not. Don't tell me a noble man would have already done "servant" work before. Plus, the got in never being taught. They learned on their own merits and will power.

Well I don't believe in making someone drink as part of hazing at all, but point for the female historians.

At least not everyone at the palace aren't sexist. Look at Officer Min Woo Won and the nice guard at the gate. You can tell there are a few other Historians who don't want to be bullies either. Of course it leads to her entering Yi Rim's place. So we get to see them bicker some more!
