Sageuk Lover

they can replace him with a new actor and refilm all scenes with the new actor. this is what happened when the jisoo (not the blackpink girl, but a male actor with the same name) scandal came out while river where the moon rises was filming (earlier episodes were already shown on TV). he was replaced by na in woo.

please call him Kim SOO-Hyun. There is a different actress named Kim SO-Hyun

He does not deserve his 2012 Baeksang. That should have gone to Han Suk Kyu, who acted better as a king in his better sageuk drama than Kim Soo Hyun acting as a king in his sageuk that year.

One possible thing they can do is to refilm all male lead scenes with another actor. That was what happened with River Where the Moon Rises, some cast members were willing to refilm scenes without pay for that though. And I figure it will be harder to replace a male lead as popular as Kim Soo Hyun

He also had an interview where he said he’ll marry a 21 year old when he reaches his 40s.

If the allegations are true, I wish he gets some punishment. He always feel off to me and I never like his acting skills. Glad I wasn’t a fan.

I’m so tired of waiting for project announcements 😢. For someone who was in a well received drama (and did present great acting skills in it despite not being appreciated for her acting there) less than 5 years ago, she’s not being given offers. I like a lot of the rising actresses now (lots of them former child actors or at least got famous from recent good sageuks as well), but I really miss her (Chae Won for me deserves more popularity than some popular idol actors and actresses though).

I find both dramas mid (I think I like this one better though Joongi has really standout acting in some scenes in Scholar since I remember there's a scene with three different versions of Lee Joon Gi together) but I really like the second lead girl and her father here. Plus I like watching Joongi's scenes with them.

where?

ending is indeed them in heaven. some people think that he just woke up from a dream for thr last scene (since a similar scene was shown an episode before) but i believe the ending is the afterlife since King Jeongjo’s heaven would be him and Deok Im together. i don’t think this drama is the type to just make the female lead’s early death into just a dream given as the characters are based on real life people and the concubine female lead is based on did die young.

I'll watch this drama first, if I enjoy him here then I might consider watching your recommendation

I'm rewatching it

Rewatching it.

okay, it's a really good drama

Are you asking about Jumong's ending?

I'm extremely annoyed that there are still no updates, ughhh :(

Can't this movie come out already?! I'm just so angry that Moon Chae Won is not having any shows released. They should have used the high grossing sales of Kwon Sang Woo's latest movie (the director of that movie is the same as this one) to promote this movie and release this as soon as possible!!

Moon Chae Won’s film Gory: A Horror Tale coming in the third quarter of this year (2025). This means the movie will come between July and September 2025.

some things will not make sense until you watched until the end, there's more to the story than meets the eye.

Yeah, I want to see her in a pre-Joseon sageuk as well.
