Why is everyone so emotional over this drama?

I mean the emotions are running high and I can't figure out why?

There is no situation or character that hasn't appeared in other dramas but people seem so personally offended. Am I missing something? There have been as much violence in other dramas. The mothers are not the worst mothers. There's hardly any concubines.

The only jarring notes have been the young Emperor and the consort who looks 5- 10 years older.

Acting and writing was not riveting.

My gosh the wait is torture. I am waiting for ep 32 to drop on viki. I already know the ending but wanted to watch it on my tv and not on the streaming sites on my phone or laptop.

I am feeling terribly bored as I have nothing to watch while waiting. I am waiting for more episodes in Perfect Match. I've finished Legend of the Dafeng. Still holding off Everlasting Longing or whatever its called. Plus dropped Blossoming Love and Moonlight Mystique.

Hshaha. I have been reading spoilers from ep 6. I've stopped watching. I am now not even watching ep 12.

The main and only reason I'm watching it is because both main actors came from my 2 previous dramas. The male actor was the lead in a fairly nice romance. The female actor was a secondary couple in that Jung Hae- in drama. She had a nice romance but she has a quirky lopside smile. Her built, smooth skin and even those feminine looking hands were already implausible from episode 1.

Then looking for a missing key for a lost wooden plot just made my day. I don't think I've stopped laughing. You can't use a heavy rock in case there is something breakable inside. If there,are horses in this era/ which it has; then there must be a blacksmith with a metal implement which you can smash the box with.

So we still have a missing box with a solution. Hang the key. It will require a blacksmith and its too intricately made but heck care authenticity; there is a 5 star hotel in the plot.

We have the girl role playing character. And an obvious Hanyang version of a 5 star hotel which is and always been implausible.

This whole drama has been full of plotholes anyway.

So the writer didn't do any worse than what they started with in the beginning. A fusion sageuk. So they had a license to ruin everything. And they have. Even the plot is not gripping anyway

Ergh. My kids will be going to high school next year and I'm already worried. There is bullying everywhere these days but my issue will be recreational drug use.

Its a good drama so far but have to admit its alarming as a parent.

Well that's the vibe I'm getting so as at least its consistent.

That's his teacher. They cast adults but they characters are technically 15- 16 year olds if they are in the 10th grade.

Not to mention they actually go to military service as well. So no.... not all Kdramas rise and set with romance.

Er you want to read up actual news articles about how bullies bully in S Korea?

You cannot discount another's traumas just because people don't have easy access to guns in South Korea.

Ghetto? Who's definition and which cities?

Realistic? Well considering there is CCTV everywhere in SK I presume the fight will be seen or reported to the police. Plus read up about personal liability laws in Korea and how people settle crimes.

I am not saying S Korea is crime- ridden but on the other hand real life can be worse even without guns. Did you read about how some recruits died recently because of bullying? People die and get killed or commit su icide without the use of weapons. I watch Kdramas but I also read or listen to the news.

You're watching a Kdrama which means you use the Korean standard.

I also think you should watch some actual videos about what South Korea is like vs what's on Kdramas.

There are a lot of very well built 15- 16 year olds in this school.

They are supposed to be 15- 16 year olds in 10th grade right?

I must scroll through the comments to see what the novel is about. Its only 10 episodes. With all that violence there isn't much time to see how it all pans out.

I am wondering what I'm watching since I normally don't or won't watch school violence dramas especially since its showing assault on women and in this case by teenagers.

So what kind of novel is this based on?

He is a nakasan. His uselessness is exactly why the role suits him.

I won't comment on the plot which is excellent.

Let me comment instead on the child actors. My goodness how good are they? They aren't just child actors; they are excellent actors and really delivered their roles.

You know how it is in some T or Cdramas where they MAKE the actors be cutesy or they look cute? But they behave like child actors role playing?

Not here though. Byeol and Seo Jun are 2 adorable 7 year olds.
That's their characters. I don't
know who the child behind the character. Then the lawyer's kid?
I actually shed tears for him.

How old are these children? There is no awkwardness or a wrong expression. They don't do the dead fish eyes acting like you see some young actors or even old actors do. They literally embody the characters they are potraying.

I know one child actor from previous dramas who has graduated into adult roles. Like the actor in Castaway Diva; Moon Woo Jin.

The child actors are just that good and can hold their own with the adults.

I thought it was weird his colleagues didn't notice why the room was massive.

The whole stoey is already fantastic as in the imaginary world. When you're in it- I am happy to follow that world's rules.

However what seemed to bug me is the ending room. Which modern world's gaming establishment can afford a huge skylight, tall ceilings and that huge room? Now that was literally the only jarring note in 40 episodes. That room is not realistic. No normal business can afford to either rent or build something like this in the middle of the city. And we all know how big China's cities are.

He is under a guest role. Isn't she a widow with 5 daughters? The dad can't be alive then can he? Besides the mother is shown in the poster without a male beside her.

Well she has been portrayed as kind of stiff and repressed. It feels like the frustrated and full of longing male leads in all those countless dramas except its done by the actress.

Feels the same pace as those other drama scenes. The FL in those dramas usually all all shy and flustered after. I would crack up if they make the male lead do that. I hope not. I would have high hopes for 2 confident adults parting post kiss and go for a walk. I have zero hopes they would do anything risque.

Its been bugging me they gave him a " shiljang/ department head " but I don't know if the staff or the subs keep referring to him as a secretary. He's a PA isn't he?

They keep showing the Gwanghwamun Square, Dongdaemun area quite a bit. There is a lot of filming around City Hall.

They must have filmed around springtime last year. I wished I would run into drama filming when I visit but never do.

I want predictable.

We've had so many unevenly matched couples dramas. Kdramas love opposites. Or a rookie idol actor who can't act. Or those noona romances. Or the overly clumsy male lead or female lead.

I just am happy to have 2 working adults who seem like caring individuals have a romance.

Full stop. Don't know how the sex or stay overnight will work since it will be obvious the daughter needs to stay overnight with Seo Jun. And the adults usually work late.

Its also a 12 episode run so hopefully more useless plots will be deleted.

A well done drama is a well done drama. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this.

Li Yun Ri plays the dad that dies? Shesh.

You cannot be a nonchalent and cut- throat. Its opposites.

And a bulldozer surgeon is not nonchalent. A dentist might be nonchalent. Or a plastic or ENT surgeon.
