I really don't know what's with the dramas nowadays! It can be super duper in the first half or 2/3 of it then it goes downhill and falls in a pit by the 13th or 12th ep. Screenwriters and PDs should be bolder! If you can't handle a 16-ep-format let it be 12 eps or 8 eps. why the hell are they doing this? It's frustrating! This drama had potential, it was a legit 9 but now it's barely 7.5 for me (and I'm being nice) no matter how they will wrap this mess up.

You're right! I read it when I was a child so I don't remember much.

Much deserved! The story is so good, cast is top tier and the director is an artist.

He didn't want to go against her. All his life, he was searching for a good ruler and the king didn't have the qualities needed, so when he found YJ and observed her actions and ideology, he decided to ally with her (not necessarily against the queen). However, the queen felt that she was replaced by YG and felt betrayed. She wasn't willing to become a queen when she was young, It was all for PGW (Jang Hyuk) after all, so she went mad because she felt that all her sacrifice was meaningless. So she wanted to destroy the thing that made PGW betray her (Joseon). PGW loved her but he loved his country more. I hope that I explained it well.

I'm currently watching the law cafe it seems promising. It's still early (2eps) to tell tho.
I personally didn't like the red sleeve I know it's an unpopular opinion but one of the reasons why I didn't like it is the screenwriter.

Yeah the story is so different but I've noticed that the main characters are a little bit similar (personality and way of thinking)
In joo : Meg (the oldest)
In kyung : mix of Jo (stubborn strong) and Amy (chosen by her aunt)
In hyun : Amy (artistic and hardworking)

Nam Gyu Ri stole the show for me.
A decent drama.

She has acting ability indeed. However, she never was the main lead. She never took an empowering role tbh even in memorist, they wanted to portray a strong FL but they got a bland one Idk if it's the writing or LSY. I hope she gets an offer where she's THE main character.

Guys I found this on Namuwiki. Please don't mind the bad translation (google translate) I don't understand korean.
"It is unclear whether the production will be made due to the alleged sexual assault of the lead actor , Jo Byung -gyu. If the allegations of sexual assault are released, production will begin, but if the allegations turn out to be true, there is a high possibility that the actors will be replaced or the production itself will be cancelled. As both the exposer and Jo Byung-gyu expressed that they would take tough measures, it led to a legal dispute, so it is unlikely that the allegations will be resolved in a short period of time. The actor himself constantly expressed his intention to return, and the authenticity of school violence was revealed falsely, and it seemed to open some doors for future activities. seems to happen Even after that, there is no sign of an end to the dispute between Cho Byung-gyu and the revealer, so it is still unknown whether Wonderful Rumor 2 can be produced."

She's a little cutie pie! uwu

Some scenes were deleted and some others were shortened. It's all over the place. So it's the same story with the same beginning and ending. The difference is in the details like some characters' backstories and sometimes crucial dialogues were cut off in the 6-ep-version.

OMG I thought I was the only thinking about it because I'm still under the influence of HOTD lol.

I choked lmao

Had this drama been produced in the new era (2019... 2020 2022) with better cinematography and special effects, it would have been even more epic. Nevertheless, this is so good for a 2013 drama.

I personally use 2 extensions (on google chrome) : ad blocker (blocks the majority of pop ups) + netcraft (blocks risky websites and has a risk rating for each website)

idk about Indian prime but if it's an 8 ep version then it's the director's cut

The standout point here is that the FL plays a huge part in it unlike the majority of political dramas / saeguk (apart from empress ki)

The extended version is better. This version lacks a lot of details.

Your theory explains why JSM (aka Bu Yeon) wouldn't be present in part 2, unfortunately ...

It was a platonic love so it was noble. Their dialogues were mature too. The romance isn't really the center of the story maybe that's why it didn't bother me.
