There is a traditional Korean game, Ganggangsullae, that is played exclusively by women that I think Myeongwol might like since it involves song and dance. It involves holding each other’s hands to make a circle. The players would then start rotating. The lead singer would then sing a line of the song and everyone sings the refrain.…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m sure you realise how strange this question to be asking my characters in QOD since many of them do exactly that for a living, right? Granted, drama is not the same as musicals but you know what I mean.

Myeongwol will have great versatility as an actress so I would like to have her as an Eliza in My Fair Lady where she will have…[Read more]

@rochellaine

It’s your turn to ask a question.

It seems that both you and @seekjustice are rather forgetful today. 😛

@seekjustice

That’s true. There is a limit to the poetic potential of the English language to make such names acceptable. Let me give you an example of a Korean name: Sunja.

This name is name out of two characters in the Korean language: ‘Sun’ – meaning to obey, submit and go along with and ‘Ja’ – meaning child. Together, it means an obedient…[Read more]

@seekjustice

How can it be my turn when you just answered a question that I posed? 😛

My, that’s a hard question. I’ve searched through some Puritan names but given how far removed in time and space ancient Korea is from the Puritans, I can’t imagine Myeongwol having any of those names. Granted, some of the names of the characters do directly…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Your question?

@rochellaine

Ah, yes. Of course. I believe that stories should end with a spiritual victory. In that case, yes, I suppose I can say that QOD will have a happy ending. 😛

Hmm… it will depend on whether Myeongwol was suddenly transported to 2018 or have always lived in modern times.

If she has always lived in the modern era, I imagine lots of…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Myeongwol would choose to forget her really embarrassing and traumatic first meeting with Yi Yeongshin.

@rochellaine

Your turn to ask a question.

@seekjustice

What’s your question? 😛

@rochellaine

No spoilers 😉 But, really, you have something against depressing stories?

Let me assure you that my book is meant to be a cute and funny story. Though @seekjustice might disagree since she’s read Part 2. But Part 3 is when the real adventure finally gets to begin so there’ll be more cute and funny moments from then on and I’m l…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice

My first thought was: What other thought would a person have when they wake up in the morning apart from, “I want more sleep”?

But OK, I’ll try to take my character’s perspective and provide a more insightful response. 😛

I suppose when Myeongwol gets up, she would look out of her window and be greeted by the beautiful…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep 🙂

Now what’s the question you want to ask us? (Or our characters?)

@seekjustice

I don’t think I saw your answer to my question? The forum has been acting funny. Did it disappear?

My answer: Myeongwol adores romance. Obviously. She wants a romantic relationship like a fairytale (or in her case, a drama). At least, the pre-time skip Myeongwol does. Post-time skip Myeongwol is a cynical sack of bitterness and…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hi, glad you can join us 😀 Basically, we take turns asking questions about our characters and answer them. You can skim through our earlier posts to get an idea.

The last question was asked by me (the lying one) so I’ll wait for your answers. Then it’ll be @seekjustice‘s turn to ask a question.

@seekjustice

I think you have a pretty good idea as to the most embarrassing situation Myeongwol has ever been in (hint: it’s in the first chapter). In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to put my characters in lots of awkward and embarrassing situations. 😛 That’s because I have always been puzzled as to why so many writers can allow their MCs to…[Read more]

@seekjustice

On a completely random note, you know how I asked what beverage your character would like to drink and you answered that Yilla would probably have only ever drank water before her entrance to the palace? Well, do you think Yilla would drink mare milk? Or milk from whatever other animals her family has?

I’m not sure what culture you…[Read more]

@seekjustice

All right. Here’s my question:

What do your characters think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

@jenwriter17

All right then. Have a good rest!

@seekjustice

Do you want to continue the game?

@seekjustice

Haha so you were just asking to get confirmation? 😛

Now I’m just imagining the character interactions between Shu Juqing and Yi Yeongshin and pondering over the similarities and differences of my two crown princes.

@jenwriter17

Are you still around? It’s your turn to ask a question.

@seekjustice

Oh dear. If the people of the QOD world meet my emperor or my crown prince in ROF… Say hello to your new ruler. He’s going to whip your miserable, corrupt selves into shape.

Meanwhile, poor Myeongwol is soooo not equipped to deal with the ROF world. She’ll probably just die in the first villain attack.
