I always use the slow but sure principle in my life. I like to savor the moment and don't like to rush. That's…
You are very wise! I personally just don't have the focus to manage that! Which happens to be one of the reasons why I too love romcoms! Especially slow burn 🔥
"Faction" SERIOUSLY!? You're trying to change the meaning of actual words now?! A faction is a pretty significant…
And don't get me started on the excessive editorialising ....the series contains multiple explicit scenes that feel abrupt and out of place...vulgar and filthy...
This article should be clearly identified for what it is. An Editorial.
"Faction" SERIOUSLY!? You're trying to change the meaning of actual words now?! A faction is a pretty significant political term, already in common usage. There's a phrase that already exists for fact+fiction, which you used in this very article - historical fiction.
Came here after noticing a bit of review bombing... and the comments are more puzzling than anything! •Comparisons with Game of Thrones?! Don't let the 'tudor times' fallacy get you. It is COMPLETELY made up, full blown High Fantasy - if nothing else, the dragons should give it away🙄 Queen Woo is based on (albeit they admit heavily fictionalised) actual historical events. What possible comparison can you make, aside from it containing people?!? • Complaints about nudity, sex scenes and the pursuit of pleasure are supposedly abhorrent, but the presumed (it's a regicide and a coup) ongoing violence is ok?!? I will never understand how people can cry horror at one, and not even be concerned by the other.
I will await its release on Prime and Viu and hopefully avoid the vitriol.
Because of the age gap I guess, the ML and FL haven't met as kids - finally a way exists for this tiring trope…
I totally agree! Another MDLer, burhaa aadmi, calls that trope Kindergarten Kismet! My skin is currently crawling just writing it...I am gripping on tightly to the fact that his grandmother was still alive when he was 18, so a childhood meeting seems unlikely.
Obviously there are other reasons than money that the fl is looking to have a fake marriage for, but it seems…
I posted earlier, but just saying again, I think FL is more accurately described as being obsessed with fairness and equality. As for the wedding, there is a strict tradition in SK, of giving money packets - at weddings and funerals. You sign your name and how much you gave is made note of. - and the same amount is expected in return, when you have a wedding/funeral/major event. The FL needs to have a wedding before her mother is 'gone', in order to recoup ALL of the money she has given to everyone else's weddings (scene in FL's house, with the box full of cards). FL sees this as ONLY FAIR. PLUS it improves her career progression prospects, as others have noted. I think emotionally, it also ties in with her very complex feelings about her mum, loving and caring for other children, more than her, and is a chance for her to recoup something from her mum. Sorry, overlong response 😬
The cheating ex of the FL has on entirely too much makeup. He got more lipstick than the female characters. The…
I can get chapped lips within 30seconds of a whole ton of chapsticks, lip balms and, after experimenting, lip colours...I always assume that the actor is having the same reaction as me. Here's hoping they use different products as the show goes on.
Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏 I really appreciate you watching these so that now I don’t have to. Except for Princess Princess D - any show described as 'whimsically weird' HAS to go on my PTW list! ❤️
Same. I keep asking for examples of the "vulgar" and "explicit" sex scenes in newer K-dramas because I certainly…
I wonder if people are saying "Westernisation' when they're meaning "Globalisation". Maybe they're really seeing that something is different but can't quite put their finger on it. BUT as you've said elsewhere, cultures don't stop in time, cultures change constantly. So maybe the truth is, when people are decrying "Westernisation" it's actually nostalgia that underpins their feelings 🤷♂️
