Sageuk Lover

Just finished, I like this drama though I ended up not really super invested with the story. Lee Sun Kyun, Moon Chae Won and the rest of the cast did well though I think this is not a show I'll go to watch to if I want to see either of them acting (not because this show is bad, just that they have better shows). Glad that they have collaborated together since i know Lee Sun Kyun is one of Moon Chae Won's dream costars. 8.5 is my score for this show.

my first drama of her was painter of the wind and she was already great in it given it's one of her first roles (the way she looks at her costar and cried in the show was really amazing).

Gosh, the branding scene. Song Il Gook is a really great actor.

there were many dating announcements too (mostly with non-celebrities though).

okay

I feel like she's really underused in this drama even though she's good in her scenes, hoping she picks up a female centric role next (preferable sageuk).

You should try The Princess Man (historical drama). It's the show where most of her awards and nominations are from. It's one of the best sageuks but extremely underrated. https://kisskh.at/2591-the-princess-man. Drama is mostly sad (though first few episodes have happy moments ) but it's really great and she's amazing here.

Yeah, but although SJK is really well known, Moon Chae Won's best drama is actuallt The Princess Man (historical drama). It's the show where most of her awards and nominations are from. It's one of the best sageuks but extremely underrated. You can try it. https://kisskh.at/2591-the-princess-man

in general i'm just hoping for good sageuk actors here. i like jin yi han too.

Haven't seen her in anything but I'm especially happy for her. I remember the news of her then boyfriend's unexpected death back then.

Wow, Seo Hyun Woo with Song Joong Ki? I suddenly got more excited. I love Hyun Woo in Flower of Evil. I can't see him as uncle, he's only 2 years older than SJK (it doesn't help that the main characters in Flower of Evil are supposed to be similar age to his character).

Yoon Hyun Min's character their was the one with the strongest character arc. Show is weird but I thought Chae Won and Seo Ji Hoon's characters are cute and I did like their chemistry even though he was way younger.

It’s not impossible but for me I don’t see any attraction between them. There’s not much on Eun Yong either but I think he’s the more plausible love interest as they do grow their bond more after the mother’s death. I won’t be surprised if there’s no couples in the end though we might get a hint of who she’ll start seeing.

Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter. There are many weird things about that drama but they were cute there

thank you.

I want Lee Joon Gi in this one. He's a great sageuk actor but I have yet to see him in an epic sageuk (exception is King and the Clown but that is a movie, as much as I think he'll do well in Arthdal that role is shared with another actor but I want him in an epic sageuk where he's the only actor for all the time the main character is an adult). His Arthdal costar (drama he's now filming) Shin Se Kyung is cast in another drama that starts filming in March which means filming for that will end soon, hope this means he has time and he might consider fiming this drama next.

the first few episodes are only difficult to watch because it was setting up the story, but the drama is picking up as more episodes come. If people are watching those long sageuks in the past, it takes a few episodes (sometimes even 10-15 episodes in a 50 episode sageuk) before the main character starts to rise up that's why Eunseom suffering in most of season 1 was there. i know this isn't just sageuk, but remove the fantasy in the show and if people watched the sageuks of these writers in the past, i believe the set up of this drama in season 1 and the first few episodes of long sageuks have a very similar pattern.

I really like Lee Se Young and this has sageuk parts so I'm in. Hope male lead is a good actor. Also hoping this drama is female-centric.

Kim Nam Gil booked and busy :)
