In my opinion as a black individual, people are overreacting about the blackface. The character did it as a disguise blend into a tree background, watch it carefully you'll see. It blew my mind to also see real black people in there, unless their blackface was hella realistic which i highly doubt. Otherwise great movie, its comedy but its not like break your ribs funny. It has its moments; the actions pretty good, the acting is superb and the storyline is very satisfying which deserves a great rating in my book. I'm very new to this "sageuk" genre and see myself getting more into it.
I have been reading your theories, and I love them all. But I think I've cracked it after ep 9
I've heard it's Ko mi sook and Fl's mom's brother. but here what I think:
alright so far the two dead subjects are seoul teacher and Fl's mom's sister. Now they don't particularly have anything in common, however there's something in common between Seoul teacher and Yu sub, which is they have something to do with rebellion/protests.
With this information I am almost sure the killers are the police officers. They somehow found Seoul teacher and killed her(they're pretty brutal from hee seobs beating so I'm not surprised) then dumped her in the river(it's also possible that their task force is huge hence they were able to commit both murders same night) As for fl mom's sister, she was meeting with Yu seob, big no no and was probably not able to escape hence she met the fate she met. This explains his necklace being found near her scene..
I'm guessing Ml also meets the same fate with law since he's discovered the truth and since he's a journalist or wtv he was working to release it or something!!
As for Ko mi Sook, she must've figured out hee seobs story somehow (she's rich so she probably has her own ways) and figured the brother protests as well and stroke a deal with hee seob to frame his brother *if something happens (*not sure if she knew murders were to happen) and most likely for her silence, FL mom must've given her her writing!!
Currently watching ep 12 and it's interestint ngl.
I get that it's possible but just how many times is it realistic for an event to happen identically at 2 different times, two same people present and almost every condition almost mirrored. sure let's call it some kind of mysterious kdrama fate but it's a little too imagined for me, almost like the writer was trying too hard to get a deep storyline. But then again they had to address the powers and their origins somehow. As for everyone else's relationship, I don't have much comments. I'm happy for seung taek and ban howoo, as for director and Ms actor girl..ehh I'll let them do their thing. I'm glad they didn't turn it into a work place love matching drama too. I'm satisfied with the ending, I love their bickering and their realistic approach to this new relationship. Wish they didn't break up oh so often but it was good for a laugh so I won't complain about it much. Overall this drama was light, somewhat interesting and kept me watching so it deserves some applause πππ
LET ME TELL YALL. WATCH THIS. DONT EVEN THINK JUST DO.
I came across it acccidentally and I couldn't be luckier. END OF EP 6 HELLLOOO. WOAH. It started off light and frankly i was a little confused and annoyed by ol boy's behavior but it adds up. Cant wait for next episode.
5. You need to read History to learn about Achievements of Jeong Jo in books or at least wikidepia.He is regarded…
Oh dear. Well this felt more like oh you shitted on my fav so I'ma shit on you vibes but been there done that. Its understandable. Did I enjoy this drama? Yes. Did I love every single aspect of it? No. This was simply a rant but Anyway: 1. I agree with you and the points proven in the previous procession of episodes. Personally I do not fancy crime solving dramas/shows, I was merely concerned with the fact that we did not get to figure how he ended up "taking care of it." 2. I kind of wish it was revealed when san grandpa was alive, maybe would've added flavor to the whole dementia situation. Again, my own preference/opinion. 3. It was reality but still annoying. 4. We have different opinions on this one but I will respect that. 5. I was talking about the depiction in the show at the point I was at but I got the gist.
{Contains some spoilers} I would like to rant. And hear me out. This are not my final thoughts, since I still have about two episodes to go. But if i don't get this out I'll probably burst. 1. So they're just going to mention cases and not say what happened afterward. In the case of the disappearing girls in the name of making them palace maids, I understand that Hong Ro was going to take care of it. But that's it?? 2. I liked how the past played out in this show. However, I am concerned about the ripped page out of the forbidden book. When will the king find out. How is Hong Ro always taking credit for what he did not do and get away with it. I was hoping they would've said something in the episode where the maids' rooms were raided. I remember seeing a snapshot of the ripped paper and got excited for drama but alas. Nothing. 3. How is Hong Ro getting away with literally everything with no consequences, not even a slap on the wrist. Especially on ep 14. It gets on my nerves OMG. 4. I am right in the beginning of ep 15 and What The Heck! HUHHHHhhh. The unconsented kiss. I understand that maybe for the timing of the show consent wasn't in existence. The show admits it is a depiction not as accurate to the real events. But it is embarrassing especially with the then immediate change of heart. So what was the purpose of the kiss? 5. And lastly, I know the king is devoted to be a good ruler. But i got to admit with queen dowager. He has not done anything of significance. He has goals. That's it. Its not over yet though, so I am looking forward to see his grand plan
I am on episode 4 going into 5 and despite being a hardcore kdrama watcher I am not getting the humor aspect and the storyline is so hard to grasp. Yet I'm not compelled to leave the drama. Like WHATS NoT CLickInG????
Since you're doing this in an objective way, I want to just say that the reason it has some parallels to goblin…
I get your point and I'm not trying to bash, jus pointing out what I noticed. Regardless of the time frame, the lighter is definitely a similarity, it could that the scene might have been shot later and stitched in? For tale of the nine tailed: the falling scene. Theres actually a scene where fl is watching what seems to be tale of the nine tailed so maybe the writer is a fan? I don't mind the plagiarism though,it's just something I noticed.
I just began this and with a completely objective mind I can conciously tell you this story built on plagiarism. I've seen way too many goblin implementations and other shows like vincenzo and tale of the 9 tailed. Although, the copying is pretty well executed at least in the first 3 eps but personally im not hooked. I'll watch because of the ratings but im inclined to quit it of I don't see a significant improvement Now don't attack me these are my personal thoughts
