Sageuk Lover

Funny how Chun Woo Hee previously acted with Han Hyo Joo in the movie Love, Lies especially since Hyo Joo is the female lead most people want to be the female lead here.

same, but i'll still watch for yoojung.

I read somewhere that there are gonna be other male leads for her new drama though (not sure though). I hope the actors casted for those roles are good.

Tale of Nokdu was also really good. I really like Emperor Owner of the Mask too, her character didn't annoy me unlike other viewers.

I don't think we'll get any updates of her lovelife anytime soon or even within at least 10 years. Koreans are notoriously private and there are many actors much older than Sohyun who has never gotten any dating rumors. I'm sure she'll announce when she's ready to get married. For now, let's just hope she gets good acting projects. But I'll be happy whoever she dates.

I greeted her on twitter last June 5, but I forgot to greet her here. Happy Birthday Sohyun!

Maybe we need to wait quite a while since So Hyun's drama Is it Fate will air first in July.

recent airing dramas get more comments than older ones. Descendants of the Sun (2016) was a big juggernaut of a drama (it had Queen of Tears/CLOY level of awareness and popularity among kdrama fans) when it came out and it only has 3000+ comments. More likely, there are more mydramalist users now compared to years ago.

5 years since this drama and Lee Tae Ri (dried squid fairy) is still not given lead roles! What does the kdrama casting gods have against him? He's always a good actor, he was amazing in Moon Embracing the Sun 12 years ago too? He was also a good villain in Tale of the Nine Tailed! He also acted very well in sageuks Bloody Heart and King of Tears Lee Bang Won (though playing supporting roles in latter episodes of each drama only) ! He deserves the stardom his male costars here are getting now. I thought this drama's popularity and his character quite important and being liked by this drama's audience will have led into bigger things for him, but apparently he got the same treatment he got after Moon Embracing the Sun (not getting roles unlike his costars from either dramas). It's so disappointing!

Thanks for the link.
Have you gotten any updates of where to watch the drama with English subs? Thanks. I'm a fan of the male lead, it's endlessly disappointing he never got leading roles despite being a solid actor and being a veteran in acting (26 years as an actor) while actors his age with half his acting skills and an acting career less than 1/2 of his got lead roles.

waiting for the day he gets lead projects.

I don't like the male lead in her new drama (seen him in Extraordinary You and he couldn't act there. Most reviews of him in other dramas say he couldn't act very well too). I wish she gets better ones next time (good enough to act but also unknown enough so she gets first/title billing).

I think she really wants to shed off her child/teen actress image.

Why is no one offering her good projects? Or anything at all? My dream of seeing her in a female centric historical drama is dwindling away

When will this movie get released? I just want this movie released and for Moon Chae Won to get new project offers (spefically female centric sageuk dramas)

Any updates?

Very nice pairing.

okay.

I. These are recent dramas that are really excellent. Like The Princess's Man, the romance was very compelling though it was the male lead who was more in love:
=> My Dearest
=> The Red Sleeve
II. Some older sageuks I really like (do note that some are very long). There's romance too on varying levels but these dramas have one main focused lead rather than the main couple as the two main leads of the show (shows included here are shown from 2015 and before):
=> Queen Seon Deok
=> Jumong
=> Empress Ki
=> Tree with Deep Roots
=> Six Flying Dragons
=> Yisan (2007 drama)
=> Dong Yi
=> Jewel in the Palace
=> Hwang Ji Ni
=> Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love - has Hong Soo Hyun (Princess Kyeonghye in The Princess's Man) as a second female lead
=> Damo/Legend of the Police Woman (2003)
=> War of the Arrows (Moon Chae Won's 2011 movie)
=> Painter of the Wind (has two main leads but I believe most viewers consider the female lead to be the real lead of this movie, it's just the male lead was a more veteran actor than her when they made this). Moon Chae Won is in here and she appears in almost all the episodes except some 3-4 episodes in the middle of the drama. She was first recognized here and she and the female lead won best couple together (the first and to date the only couple award won by two women in Korea).
III. Some newer shows that are more led by one character than led by a couple that I think you should also check out:
=> Rebel Thief who Stole the People
=> Mr. Sunshine
=> Lovers of the Red Sky
=> King's Affection
=> River Where the Moon Rises
=> The Crowned Clown
IV. Some people recommend these shows, which I personally think are not as good as this one, nevertheless you can check them out and form your own opinion:
=> Moon Embracing the Sun
=> Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo
