Dont forget Lee Tae Ri. I know he’s wxtremely underrated but he’s also paet of the young version of the four main leads juat like Yoo Jung, Jin Goo, & So Hyun.

Cant wait to see this drama. I’m watching because Kim Yoo Jung is really good in historical dramas. I also love both the historical dramaa that Jang Tae Yoo directed (Painter if the Wind, Tree with Deep Roots). Trivia: this drama is the reunion of Kim Yoo Jung and Jang Tae Yoo after Painter of the Wind. In both this drama and Painter, KYJ is a painter/artist.

Watch The Princess’s Man. It’s another melodrama romance from her. It’s a historical drama but she’s so beautiful in hanbok. This was the drama that gave her the most awards and nominations. Not gonna spoil the ending here but the male lead will also get an injury in the end except it’s not amnesia.

When some actors have scandals, I just choose to put them off my mind so I can still somehow enjoy the dramas I like they are in, but will not be actively seeking their others dramas I haven’t seen. Fortunately, none of actors I like have been in serious scandals, though some of them (like Lee Tae Ri, and Kim Min Seo here plus Yoo Ah In and Song Joong Ki in Sungkyunkwan Scandal) have acted with actors with scandals. Just think of the actors as the character to enjoy. Like some actors are not good, but if I love their costars acting and the drama, I can still watch them

I have second lead syndrome in the drama too (for both second leads since I pity both characters). But for the second male lead, it has something more to do with the acting of his younger version. (actor Lee Tae Ri). To each of their own I guess :D

The lead couple end up together in the end but so many other characters died.

I respect your opinion, but I include him. I don't think the rest of the adult cast are as bad as the female adult lead, but their performances just don't have any impact on me compared to the younger leads (including both the adult male leads which are both popular actors, which is why I commented my comment above here in Min Seo's page instead of the drama page). I really loved Kim Min Seo's performance as Bokyung even though I still prefer the younger Kim So Hyun. The rest of the adults were just okay.

https://youtu.be/2DyuqfJfcyY Short clip of Kim Hyun Soo and Song Joong Ki in Tree with Deep Roots episode 6. It’s in Korean, but at least this video tells you you just have to see episode 6 of the drama for their interaction.

There is a possibility that he might have, but I don't think it's something serious. He didn't get jealous when Park Min Young and the male lead got together, unlike his other friend played by Yoo Ah In. From what I recall here, his character is a flirt, likes teasing girls. SJK not having a romance with a female is not important though, he and Yoo Ah In's character has a bromance, a lot of people actually enjoyed the show more because of their character's bromance. SJK's character here also has natural charm (he winks and has a lot of antics, you'll understand if you watch the show). I actually became a fan of him from watching this one. This drama was my long time impression of him, I never associated him with any woman until he was married.

For me, she is the best among the adults cast in Moon Embracing the Sun, better than other adults (including the male lead).

Song Joong Ki has a bromance with Yoo Ah In. He has some friendly moments with Park Min Young though. The only historical drama of his that has a romance with a female is Arthdal Chronicles (this is not Joseon drama but pre-historical/fantasy, he's the main lead here too). You might have seen a fanmade/edit video.

Park Yoo Chun's character. Song Joong Ki is not even Yoo Chun's rival here, but Yoo Ah In. Song Joong Ki's character is kinda flirt here though, he has moments with Park Min Young. He also has a bromance with Yoo Ah In that is worth to watch. Yoo Ah In may not be so popular among kdrama fans, but that's because he focuses more on movies. Yoo Ah In's 2018 movie Burning was shortlisted for the Oscars (not nominated, but considered an Oscar nomination).

Excited because it's Kim Yoo Jung back in historical dramas (I decided I should no longer care who they cast as male lead actor, I often wish she and Lee Tae Ri aka young Yangmyung in Moon Embracing the Sun would reunite as OTP, just as most people want her to reunite with YJG). She's also again working with director Jang Tae Yoo, who happens to be the director of the very first drama I've seen her in (Painter of the Wind).

it's in youtube with english subtitles. you just have to go to settings cc for english subtitles.

I really like her character in Jumong!

I think you got confused with King's name. King Taejong/Lee Bang Won is King Sejong's dad. He was the one shown in the first few episodes, he's the same king who's the main character in Six Flying Dragons. King Sejo is one of King Sejong's sons (not shows in this drama). He became King after a coup against King Danjong (son of King Munjong, Sejo's older brother who was King after King Sejong). You can watch Princess's Man if you want to see King Sejo aka Suyang. Princess's Man contains a fictional love story of an alleged daughter of King Sejo and the son of a minister against King Sejo, but King Sejo is heavily feautured in that drama.

i couldn't remember exactly, but I think their interaction is very short. i remember it's shown as a past scene, so if you see SJK character grown up already, keep watching, since there will still be some past scenes shown (including his interaction with Kim Hyun Soo)

They have a short interaction. Cant remember exactly but it's between episode 4 to episode 8. If I remember, they interacted because somehow, Kim Hyun Soo's character got into the palace to work as a palace maid. This is how Shin Se Kyung (grown up Kim Hyun Soo) ends up as a palace maid, she's sometimes a scribe for the king played by Han Suk Kyu (Song Joong Ki played him in his younger days) .

I like his acting in Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter

She (Kim Yoo Jung) was also a painter in Painter of the Wind (she's the child version of the female lead who pretends to be a guy) and Grudge: the Revolt of Gumiho. We can see her paint in both dramas mentioned. In fact this drama is her reunion with Painter of the Wind director which is why I'm so excited.
