Is this the sequel of secretly greatly movie? Bang Dong Gu (the spy from 10th eps) is the spy from Secretly Greatly…
Nope, totally unrelated. They just asked Kim Soo Hyun for cameo appearance as he’s close to writer Park Ji Eun due to ‘My Love From the Star’ and they took advantage of his Secretly, Greatly character to match the plot.
Despite the nonsensical and unfounded romance (it was so unbelievable how the FL fell in love with ML. It felt like she only got smitten because of his looks and for her to feel truly, deeply, madly in love with him was too superficial of her), I still defended this drama against the haters during the run of the 1st 14 eps because I truly appreciated its artistic take on cinematography and storytelling. I also understood the plot and was in high hopes for a good ending.
But what were those last 2 eps even? Was the author drunk or something? The plot was completely thrown away and the final ep was mainly a fan service. The prior 14 eps were proven to be useless and the initial hate was appropriate after all.
For future viewers, I caution you from jumping into this without weighing the comments here sufficiently. You might waste your precious time.
I still don’t know why this got a high rating here. The humor was off, Kim Nam Gil’s acting and comedic timing were extremely off, and the editing felt like it was an early 2010s drama instead of a 2017 one. The only good things about this are the medical part of the drama, the ML’s character, and the FL’s consistency. The rest were really painful to watch.
The young ones have a brother/sisterhood, yes. There will be some sort of rivalry when Bang Won is pushed out…
Actually, from the very beginning, Boon Yi couldn’t even pass as BangWon’s concubine let alone as his wife, because she was a peasant. Even a concubine of a noble needs to be of high or equal stature too. Being a mere peasant already disqualifies Boon Yi. Hence, the description “doomed to fail from the start” to describe their relationship is correct.
However, years later, Boon Yi ascended from his social status to someone who works for the government, since she was specifically appointed to head the neutral village (sorry I’ve forgotten what it’s called). This made her get relieved from her peasant status, enabling her now to qualify as Lee Bang Won’s concubine. But her desire for freedom, as well as her dreams, made her refuse Bang Won’s proposal.
Just stopping by to say that 5 years later, I'm debating on rewatching it since I remember it as being an incredibly…
Sadly, Netflix Philippines already removed this last December. I wanted to rewatch the episodes or the whole thing but looks like I have to resort to illegal means.
Hey guys i have a question. So my friend really likes reading manhwas (especially historical ones) and she wanted…
For historical dramas with almost perfect historical accuracy plus top-notch acting and big-scale production, ‘Six Flying Dragons’ will always be the drama to go.
Yes, Kim So Hyun played both the Queen and the Princess’ older version. The Princess’ striking resemblance…
The part was initially offered to Son Ye Jin but she declined due to schedule conflict.
But I think they tweaked the drama into becoming more realistic— history wise. Back then, Queens are married off very young, some are just a little over becoming capable of pregnancy. So it’s not really surprising that some have 10yr old or so children when they’re still in mid or early 20s.
Can't wait to see hundreds of people rating the drama after watching the plot, then have different thoughts after…
Haha that’s why I’m holding my horses despite my great hopes for this drama. I don’t want it to be another Emperor: Owner of the Mask where the writer butchered Kim So Hyun’s character.
I’m so infused on the first episode. So the Queen was Kim So Hyun? The princess is also Kim So Hyun? I’m so…
Yes, Kim So Hyun played both the Queen and the Princess’ older version. The Princess’ striking resemblance to the late Queen is an integral arc of the story.
Goshhhh the first episode was truly explosive!!! What a big-scale production and everyone’s acting was soooo ON POINT. I hope the writing can sustain this momentum.
