If there was a way for Goddess of Fire to get even stupider in plot, this drama is succeeding masterfully at it. Episode 10 was all about making a special teacup that would keep tea warm at the behest of the Ming dynasty envoy. Apparently giving him a hot water bottle is not an option. After taking a plunge into the river and exposing her chest and gender, Jung Yi begs Gwanghaegun to keep quiet about her being a girl during the 10 days left to make the cup, and he agrees and seems to take even greater interest in her. So much so that Imhaegun thinks his younger bro has a thing for young boys and locks the two of them up in a room for alone time. Whut? Jung Yi, who works with kilns her entire life, then faints because it’s too hot up in that regular ole room. Double whut? Tae Do is relieved Jung Yi came back with the clay needed to make the cup, and he continues being awesome and smacks down the other potters who pick on Jung Yi. He accompanies her to the lake to bathe at night while he keeps watch and Gwanghaegun follows and just thinks they are brother and sister but still doesn’t know Jung Yi’s real identity as the girl he knew as a kid. The first cup is a fail and is blamed on process being touched by a female, apparently females are bad luck in making pottery. Jung Yi outs herself as a girl rather than let another female get wrongly blamed and she’s thrown in jail. Gwanghaegun tries to help her but its Tae Do who rescues her and tries to take her away. He asks Jung Yi to leave with him, they can go an ordinary life somewhere far away from the Palace. Jung Yi asks to be taken back because she has to make that freaking cup and she discovers her master has arrived in town with the secret method to make the tea warming cup. Jung Yi gets the method to the pottery department and the cup is made just in the nick of time. Next episode she’s getting to stay in the pottery department as a girl. Somewhere my brain cells died a slow and painful death, but my eyes feasted on the glory of Tae Do and his patient, thoughtful, and heartfelt love for Jung Yi and I mentally resurrected myself.

I love this show. The chemistry between the leads are hot, Kim bum and moon geun young you make a lovely couple :) <3 <3 can't wait for the next episode. Thanks for the update Koala!
Kim bum looks fine with his costume :D I love this acting, its so good <3 <3
Koala, I adore your sarcastic, telegraphic-style recaps of this show. Don't stop!
And Kim Bum.. Moar!
Lol...you crack me up Koala as usual. What girl in the right mind would not run away with this sweet, handsome man when they get the offer.
Anyway, I'm also sticking around for our OTP. Also next week we get to see our Moonie in hanbok and she does look pretty good in it.
LOL, great recap. Stupid plot of a show, only redemption is the OTP.
I do agree that the plot of the story is bad and some of the issues/situations are carried out way too long, that could be solved more quickly, however i personally though that the show would be talking about pottery in every single scenes but thats not the case.I love the humorous scenes with lee kwang soo and his evil twist make the show more fun to watch, and the fact it has sweet romance between the leads. its just a shame that the writer of this story does not know what to do with the show. Even the warrior baek dong soo had a better plot but the cast is stronger here. We all know the fact that this show has bad script writing but if anything is worsen than this it has to be jang ok jung ( just loved the costumes and songs in this show). Overall i do like this show and i am gonna stay in tune to watch the romance develop and the characters, as i am fan of the leads. the things are pointed out was just some of the things i didn't like, however since the beginning i felt the scenes with the leads rub of on me and i can't wait to see what happens. we all might think we know whats happens in the end but we never know, there would be a twist ;) thanks for the post.
Yeah! Jung Yi dress as a woman!! Finally, I was tired seeing her dress as a man. Can't wait to see Tae Dos reaction. And can't wait for a kiss between them. I wished he took a sneak peak of a Jung Yi bathing, but he's a gentleman. GOF only worth watching beacause of these two. ❤
Oh, Koala, why do you do this to yourself?
Though I am totally grateful because that way I can keep tabs on Kim Bum scenes without needing to wade through the rest of the hot mess that is Doctor Jin Does Pottery.
My pain, our collective gain. Sigh, someone has to take one for the Kim Bum team.
i'm super impressed with kwang soo, i never thought I'd despise his character this much.
kim bum blows me away as always, and moon geun young seems to be doing her best with this awful script.
I literally skim through episodes and only fully watch scenes with kim bum and kwang soo now.
What is she thinking?
Leave with him. I know I would. :)
Yes there scenes together are great. I think this weekend I will see the episodes.
I do agree to the story isn't that good, but I have seen more terrible shows that had horrible stories.
Nothing can beat terrible telenovelas in Spanish.
