Is there supposed to be gossip about this ? Maybe she was casted for her acting skills. Why would her real age…
Its the MDL tag. They don't normally do the age gap. I have started watching ep 1 and for the life cannot work out the age comments then the plastic surgery comments.
I am here because I can't work out if its going to turn out to be a horror thriller or something. Or a supernatural drama. I tend to avoid and drop these.
I couldn't find many comments about whether people like the story, acting, chemistry or writing. However plenty of other comments.
I saw it. I like the male lead. However I think this drama is best binged so I can fast forward what irritates me. I was watching ep 22 yesterday. Its a bit more draggy than I like. I am actually swamped with work so have no time for slower dramas. I want to finish off Study Group, Les Bells and Iron Family.
The pacing is not the type of pacing I like. The writing style... I don't think I'd drop it but have too much work commitments to catch up on ep 9-22.
I'm in a similar condition as you..Thanks for leaving a comment so that i know I'm not the only one. I'm triggered…
Step away from it.
Then look at your usual management plan suggestions your psychologist or therapist or you yourself normally use.
However please don't come back to this drama discussion site. Not MDL but this drama. Please do not watch this if you know ahead of time. However it is common in Cdrama plots but they don't usually write such endings.
I do not know if you're a veteran but if you are please call the support groups. Or basically call and speak to someone this coming week. All the best. If you have been diagnosed formally I hope you have some management strategies. Please use them. Call a national helpline if you can't get anyone on the weekend.
I sincerely thank everyone for the spoilers. This might be the first time I've been traumatised reading spoilers.
As someone who has encounters with veterans with severe PTSD; the ending is very traumatising. I cannot believe such an ending was acceptable.
The other thing is that my whole MDL page is now in French. I speak 6 languages and write in 3 but French is not one of them.
I repeat that's a very scary ending. Did the writer even talked to the veterans? When I read the posts about the letter my heart sank. I have PTSD from dealing with suicide attempts from those veterans. The writers were really irresponsible if they didn't actually write a positive resolutions from others before giving that to the drama audience. I might have been triggered because there was an actual suicide last month but not during my working hours. I get notifications for incidences.
I had no inkling this was going to be like this. You know how dramas whitewash stuff normally.
Why would you want the FL sleeping with 2 guys in a historical drama?Eww...
Huh? I am talking about his character. Jang Won has no personality at present besides being the brother and the love for the other Princess. He hasn't even expressed any liking for Hwa Ri.
I have zero opinion about Chani. Jang Won has not even LOOKED at Hwa Ri with anything resembling awareness.,
If you want to get angry defending Chani its your prerogative. I don't have any strong bias for or against him. What I have is that the 2ML is not a viable option at present except the literal last scene. His mother is trying to get him married. I don't recall much interaction with him with anyone except the scene after school with the confessio. Him maybe with his sister. Then him with the princesses.
I am going back to my Love of the Divine Tree.
I actually read your original post again. My reply to that stands that I would find it distasteful if Jang Won has a sex scene with the Princess. It would be ok in a modern drama but not in line with a historical one. This doesn't sound like that sort of drama.
The other presumption is that Chani is there as a 2nd lead. Its only 4 episodes. He may be there as something else besides being a love interest. He could suddenly become passionate and do a runaway with the other Princess which would put a spanner in the works because his father and her maternal grandfather are on opposite factions. I didn't actually invest that much time in comparing who has more screen time. I am actually surprised the King and Queen have so many scenes together as a couple.
So I am not banging on a 2ML love triangle. I am just saying Jang Won is not doing much.
phenomenal! Their chemistry is off the charts and they're both sublime actors!
The chemistry gets stronger. If pheromones can be transmitted off- screen and across continents they are it. The other couples in the dramas have got good chemistry too by the way.
The casting director needs a shout- out for the great job.
Do you know how many times I've been to Cheongyecheon? This drama is filmed aroung Heunginjimun and Gwanghwamun Square. Plus behind Deuksugung.
None of us watching this drama went to Seoul around this time? All the locations are where the tourists go. And so many people have seen to COEX Aquarium as well and the Kpop trail.
I checked; filming started early March 2024. So that also answers the time skip from kindergarden to elementary school.
Great drama. It told its story. Solid acting all round. I am now happy to recommend this romance drama because it is not frustrating and has a well fleshed out supporting cast story.

I have not followed the gossip behind this. He is young. She is young but she is his classmate. Weren't there any older actresses around?
Its just that there was a tag for age gap on MDL. Otherwise I wouldn't have actually checked it out.
That is some solid casting. They are almost all of them veteran actors
I also discoveted I've watched about 4 previous dramas by the same writer.
I think I have too much adrenaline coursing through my bloodstream right now.
The pacing is not the type of pacing I like. The writing style... I don't think I'd drop it but have too much work commitments to catch up on ep 9-22.
Another drama on the backburner. Its short so guess I have to wait another week? I can't see the airing schedule beyond Sunday.

I just finished ep 22 because I couldn't stand it anymore.
I will go back to ep 8 tomorrow. Who knew what 22 episodes were going to be so hard?
So I am here for spoilers.

Can you head over to Scandal of Chun Hwa as well?
You're going to be busy this weekend.

I am kinda miffed as I'm familiar with half the filming locations. I've never had any luck seeing any filming being done.

open relationship.
Since the drama is throwing the whole kitchen sink and all at the viewers... why not?
However as a romance drama, this drama really delivers. And I'm really happy Lee Jun Hyuk is the lead.
