I'm not ready to let go of this series yetttt 😭😭😭😭😭
P.S. That actual accident scene was amazingly done. I didn't know it was coming. Ryeoun also did great in his acting. The scoring was great too! Can't help but feel emotional.
what happened at the very end ? after they bury the box. the ML holding the spell book ? what does that even mean…
Hi. It just means that Jang Mu Jin managed to protect Aeng Cho's spellbooks. That although the crown managed to have her killed, they weren't able to get hold of her much sought after spellbooks. Perhaps, Mu Jin hid it that time when Aeng Cho was asleep in the hut and lured the royal guards with the fake books.
This also answered as to why the shrine was established in the first place. And it was to keep her books safe and also he's hoping to meet her in the next life. Basically, he orchestrated their next meeting. Asked his descendants to keep the shrine safe with a Shaman always on guard. Back then, shamanism is banned as Joseon era was following Confusianism. So the fact that Mu Jin managed to do all that was amazing. He realiy wanted to meet Aeng Cho again.
woah woaaah I didn't realise that many people did not like the show?? Yes it has a very typical k drama plot but…
IKR? I guess we just have to respect their opinion. Other platforms mainly have praises for this series so I guess, it really depends where you check. At least MDL gives us, viewers, an avenue to voice out dissent.
So… we got a petty 40 year old virgin and a widower who is apparently a master of disguise with just red lipstick…
The thing is, the widow was a Madame of a noble household. She's expected to just stay inside the home and serve her in-laws through cooking, raising the heir, and other domestic activities. The only persons who may have known her are their servants who are also just working within their home. It's uncommon in the Joseon era for these married women to be out and about. So naturally, she could get away with just a little tweak on her appearance because no one knows her outside. Besides, she's been married for so long that if there's anyone who may have known her in the area, their brains have been wired in seeing the lady/unmarried version of her, and not in a married fashion (braided long hair around the head, etc) so they won't recognize her right away.
I have only seen the first 6 episodes and then lots of clips but the fact he was awful to her in the beginning…
Was he really that awful?The fact that a trespasser who insists on destroying a place your family holds dear is still being entertained by this very busy big shot lawyer means that he's nice enough to give her a chance to do her job.In real life, Hong Jo wouldn't be able to come close into his law office. Let alone be forgiven for getting in without appointment, and she's done it several times.
If we would really evaluate it, the rude one was Hong Jo for not respecting enough his boundaries, and she's a civil servant at that.
The wall that Sin Yu had against Hong Jo was actually reasonable.
Seems like people really aren't liking this. Not sure if I should start
Take these comments with a grain of salt. And remember, only those who dislike a project would take time to make negative reviews about it in third party pages like MDL. While the rest who enjoy it do not feel the need to comment about it here and instead voice their support through the official social media apps of the project. Hence the good engagement and high ratings of the show.
THIS. I also recommend 'Dear My Friends' if you haven't watched it already.
Ohh Netflix Philippines had it until April 30 only. I guess, Netflix' license for it had expired already. It's available in other apps like Loklok and Hitv
I looked at the title and was like I think this is up my alley since I'm doing a radio course but before I watch…
This one really touches on the life in radio broadcasting. From concept development to casting of DJs, and even to script writing and team dynamics--- they've tackled all of these at the start. Romance revolved around radio broadcasting but as soon as the leads got together, romance became the show's focus.
Him being not in an acting agency is also a factor. Unless he's under those like JYP Entertainment who has NPIO…
Oh no worries. And thank you for clearing that up. I was actually contemplating whether to respond to that comment because it's obviously harmless but I was worried some Fantasy might come across it and think differently.
And oh, I'm actually a Hottest (2PM fan) too for over a decade now so seeing my notifications with your PP in it is such a treat. 😍
Rowoon and Junho are quite similar actually. Sometimes it makes me think if only FNC was able to manage his personal and group schedules well, or if only he's not diagnosed with herniated disc, he must have stayed with SF9, and be like Junho who could juggle both jobs as an idol and actor seamlessly. I just feel bad for Rowoon, he's one of the two members who's trained the longest for SF9 (6yrs) and now he would have to deal with the fact that he's no longer part of the team.
Anyway, sorry for this long post. I just felt comfortable sharing.
I'd like to restate that it's a deliberate choice. DWY was created for the Korean audience, and they definitely understand the cultural nuances, e.g. what the talismans were for.
It might be confusing for the international audience as we lack both the ability to understand the cultural aspect as well as to read Hangul, but imagine if DWY's writer chose to spoonfeed every info to the audience, how boring and weird it must be for the Korean populace. They might lose interest in it.
And this is why DWY's narration really interests me. I loved how I was made to analyze the scenes and then feel proud whenever something just turns out as what I have thought it would be.
And I would never call a seasoned director or any one at that to have misdirected as each project consists of months, even years, of preparation. Storyboards have been made out of specific narrations from the writer's script. Every thing had been made in detail. It's up to the audience to digest it. If everything hits, then well and good. If not, then checking on why would help.

As a Fantasy, your first line definitely stings especially since the boys are too humble with each other's achievements and have a great friendship. They've always been supportive of each other, and are very understanding of Rowoon's setbacks. So Rowoon outshining them is like a taboo topic in kpop as the rest of the members don't deserve to be compared to his success. They all worked hard.
But no worries, I know you mean well. And you are right as well that Rowoon's been getting a lot of love calls every since Extraordinary You, and SF9 members have been always proud of him and his achievement. They even promote his projects when Rowoon couldn't even do the same for them.
Him leaving the team must have hurt them a lot, but it was nice of them to let him go and still support him in this new chapter. The fact that Rowoon still renewed with FNC also speaks volumes. He's being taken care of by the management and by his labelmates, and for that I'm glad.

I feel like I was reading my own thoughts when this show was still airing.

I hope the next episodes would be more funny too.
