LBPG:

I agree, I think it'll happen by the end of 10. 

It’s amazing how he was able to live until 81 which was super rare at the time.

Did he die of natural causes?

Did he die of natural causes?

I think so, I'm not sure though. On the other hand, I'd read that both Deok Im's and Jeongjo's deaths were considered suspicious, but it's all speculation.

He died of natural causes.  I read that he took his health very seriously and was always taking life prolonging concoctions.  

The calligraphy master they use for the drama explained this scene in ep 4 where he, flustered, misspelled the character for "love"

Thank you for the link. I also saw an analysis of Deok Im’s tattoo and other analysis done in the same thread.

I just saw that this viewer closed this monster thread due to real life. Bummed, but v thankful you started this thread for references! 

Great analysis from episode 10 of Deok Im looking at the moon and Head Court Lady Jo also looking at the moon.

Oh this is interesting, thank you! There's a comment talking about their analysis of how she interacts with water in the drama. This is one of those dramas I want to research like a project :)

Another thread about Deok Im’s micro expressions

Love the way it’s expressed.  This is exactly why Seyoung and Junho are doing great in this show.  They each portray their characters station in life perfectly and show the viewers and each other their feelings subtly through their faces.

I've been waiting for this thread: the use and meaning of hands in the drama
