I had the same thoughts! It's cute and all for a KDrama, but I'd imagine having to be around Ko Mun Young in real life would not be a cakewalk, especially with the way she constantly argued with Sang Tae.

The comedy genre does not necessarily mean than nothing bad is allowed to happen. This is also a heavily political drama, and by including war themes, they already showed us that they were not against including dark themes in the story. A drama can be a comedy and include death and angst at the same time - this is not a foreign concept in Korean dramas that claim to be rom coms (Just look at Angel’s Last Mission:Love, for instance). Mr Sunshine was used as an example because of the similar-ish time period, not because of the genre. I never intended to compare the dramas but rather show how a drama set in the Joseon period can be done well :)
