I've never watched a drama twice no matter how much I liked it. However, this was the first drama ever I watched entire episodes again in two days. Only one last episode left tomorrow, and I'm really sad to let go of this drama. Every Monday and Tuesday, I was waiting to come home from work to watch this drama. FL and ML were so cute and lovely together.
This drama is written by the same script writer who wrote True Beauty and Lovely Runner; very funny and well written details. I love every single one of her dramas. I hope to see her next work soon.
I really wanted to watch this drama for Myungsoo but OMO the FL is so freaking cringey and ugh her acting is soo…
Lol I felt exactly the same. I couldn't go passed 1/3 and turned it off feeling sad because I was waiting for Myungsoo's new drama. However, I just read some good comments about FL's acting on Naver chatting room, so I will try to watch through again.
This is one of the best shows I've watched lately. The story, action, camera work, and acting, everything was incredible. It was fascinating to watch some new weapons in the show too. Since it is based on a novel, they have more stories to tell. I really want to watch part 2.
Were they fired for what reason? I haven't heard of it 🤔
Disney's business has been going down the hill lately, so they have been downsizing the business to save money. Netflix has become the definite winner in streaming business world wide.
He is like a chameleon. He fits himself into every role and changes his voice tons. He is a hidden gem. I really hope to see him more often in good movies and dramas.
Action scenes were jaw dropping in ep. 5-6. This drama is so well made. I hope more people can watch it. The story is based on a novel, so season 2 must be good too. Too many things to cover just in 2 episodes.
Totally! The acting in on another level and the writing is really good so far. Especially ep 3 & 4 were phenomenal…
The historical story of My Dearest is true in every single event. The writer majored in Korean History, so she is super good at creating stories based on true historical events. Captivating the King takes the historical timeline of when My Dearest ended, but some of the events are created and twisted by the writer. For example, the king who died in ep. 4 was never a king, and he was the one who was sent to Manchu Qing as a hostage. When he returned to Joseon, he was poisoned and died. Also, in this drama they were born to two mothers, but in real history they were born to one mother.
I find it absurd that the character can't simply say no or end the relationship. It's quite frustrating, and it…
The point is that she can't simply avoid what happened in her 1st life. She has to either toss the event to someone else or someone else has to steal it from her. Her goal is to make her friend steal her husband and get married to him. On top of that, she wants to toss her cancer to her as well.
I am in love with this drama after watching all 4 episodes. It's getting better and funnier. I've always loved the FL's comedy movies and dramas, and she didn't disappoint me on this one either
Wow...Americans are also watching. Flixpatrol doesn't show the US right now. When will it show up?
I also use Viki, and Netflix is my main ott channel. I started to use Amazon Video actively just because lately they have more recent Korean dramas. I loved The Killing Vote and Death's Game. Hulu has great Korean shows as well. I was into Moving and The Worst of Evil. In Asia, those shows are on Disney+, but in the US they are on Hulu. I wonder how Flixpatrol collect data.
