Why is this only 7.9 rating? This drama is so good.

It seems to be going to be a good drama. I’m a fan of the villain actor Bae Soo Bin. I’ve seen him in 4 historical dramas before this one.

Jumong - Song Il Gook is 10 years older than Han Hye Jin

I thought the king here is meant to be King Sejong, the sick crown prince is the future King Munjong (eldest son), Prince Juhyang is the grand prince Suyang aka future king Sejo, and Yangmyung is Prince Ahnpyeong.

Viu

but at least in this drama's ending he's alive.

In Scholar Walks at Night, you also hear that word a lot from the female lead to the male lead.

When I was watching the scene where he was approached by the servant to tell him of palace problems, I was like...."we're on the last 10 minutes of the show".

I have to say, among the three sky dramas of Kim Yoo Jung (Moon Embracing the Sun, Moonlight Drawn by the Clouds, Lovers of the Red Sky, I called them sky because the titles of the dramas scream so), the second male lead here is so lucky for not dying haha

I like it, I'm giving it an 8.5 despite me feeling a bit let down by the plot since I never found drama boring. Despite being a bit let down, I still like the mythology of this drama. The visuals and the imagery (especially those beautiful paintings and sceneries when Haram and Chungi are dating) are really beautiful. Acting is good by most especially by Kim Yoo Jung and Kwak Si Yang. Ahn Hyo Seob is okay, but he really shone in the last 2 episodes (my only complaint against him is he sometimes doesn't act blind). Gong Myung is a bit disappointing (I'm saying this because I feel like an excellent actor with a lot charm could have made his character more memorable). but he was okay in the last 2 or 3 episodes.

Currently watching it, I want to honestly see what the fuss about.

It's the final week of Lovers of the Red Sky this week so it's understandable, maybe next week is where we'll see how this drama fares.

Arang and the Magistrate is one historical fantasy drama that I find consistent til the end. Maybe you should try it (give at at least 4-5 episodes)

I like the one you shared thank you, but what I always preferred historical dramas the most are the beautiful instrumentals. For the song in your video, I think they'll release it as an OST later.

I think Secret Garden and Hospital SHIP should not be the basis to judge her acting. People should watch Empress KI, Hwang Ji Ni and Damo (these 3 historical projects are where she excelled the most).

gosh they should just air season 2 already so we can see the end

which is so sad, this is such a superb drama. showing genuine love relationships across ages and gender. shows that you dont need popular idols to show such a beautiful historical drama (this is why it's hard for me to like idol actors no matter how good they are, people watch dramas for them instead of the plot).

Yup, I don't expect this drama to be romance focused either, just that I feel like we will at least see some romantic confessions or at least the characters admitting to themselves they love the other. Of course the drama will be more politically driven.

The one here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=udZzpUyC5OA . They use different versions of this in the drama.

It’s common in history, there were fewer people in the past. The fact that they were royals made it more sense. Even Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip of Britain are third cousins (cousin marriages among young royals today are not as common though, but that happened until like 60 years ago).
