Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung Episode 3

6.0/10 - Save the books!

The music. I forgot to mention it in my last episode review, but I meant too! I love it so far! It's so dream like and lovely. To my mind it fits the world of books well.

Oh, my gosh. The scenes of the writers being arrested and beaten. The book store being robbed and personal residents raided for books. It's heartbreaking. I was ticked when they stole from the bookstores, then started to get weepy eyes when they arrested the writers, and then piratically started to cry when Hae Ryung's own room had been raided! I mean even the books hidden in the kitchen under the green beans aren't safe!

Hmmmmmm. I wonder how much trouble Prince Yi Rim would really been in for writing books? After all he did it before they were banned. This seems like a silly plot or piece of blackmail. Also, Yi Rim's eunuch is so funny! I like their relationship!

It's clear that Crown Prince Yi Jin is against all this. Yet he's taking the full blame for it! At least from what I can see. I really hope he gets to be a main character and we get to seem more of how this power struggle is affecting him!

Oh, my gosh! Min Woo Won is Second State Councilor's son! I keep calling him Second State Councillor so I haven't been seeing his name. I do love a corrupt father and righteous son combo. Also, Woo Won was clearly impressed with Hae Ryung! I wonder what is gonna happen there?

I like the blend of serious matters—straight up horror for me—and humor. A compelling story is being weaved here!

Not to mention Hae Ryung's brother has now got someone lined up for marriage! The clock is counting down!

Also, what's gonna happen to that little boy since Hae Ryung confesses she's not Maehwa?!
