do you guys know who were the said actors who topped the poll on who fits kang tae moo?? or atleast the link of the poll im kinda curious bc ppl said ahn hyo seop wasnt even at the top choices
idk if i missed something but what was the bear for?? i remember seeing a glimpse of it once but what happened to it afterwards and what role did it play in the story
It's really a shame that the director's cut will only be released in blu-ray. For international people like me…
there blu ray chipins wherein the members will share the price and also pay a translator (in which i joined one but it's now closed). idk if there are still chipins on twitter or anywhere but u can try to find one
finished it! I'll give it a 7/10, because it was too slow and boring for me (used a lot the 2x button and fast…
i feel like you're rather hoping for a lovey dovey romance based on how ep 2 was your fave. but this was never supposed to be that kind of story :) there are other sageuk love stories out there wherein they'll love each other for most of the drama. king jeongjo's story had more time of pursuing deokim than time being with her. it's a 15 years: 4 years ratio (in real life).
Something I noticed about San's love. He wavers from being an adorable dork in love - the love is so healthy and…
king jeongjo did not force deokim to be his concubine, but that doesn't mean his love wasn't dangerous. there was even a record that he punished slaves out of anger to deokim because ofc he couldn't punish the woman he loved himself. we never know what else he has done. the writer tried to express yisan's dangerous love through those 2 scenes you mentioned (junho emphasized himself about that dangerous love). i don't think he's to be considered as a red flag because the time he was in wasn't the 21st century, patriarchy was very strong in his era. women had very little rights and court ladies especially weren't allowed to reject their owner (multiple times at that). deokim would've been killed if yisan didn't love her deeply. that's how harsh the reality was back then. if he was indeed abusive (atleast in the drama), then he wouldn't have let deokim decide whether to leave him or to be with him. forcing others to be a king's concubine is not a problem back then, but he didn't do it.
another thing, we never know how their relationship really was because we only saw jeongjo's side of the story through his epitaph. but we are not only following history here, the red sleeve is also based on the novel and that novel pictured yisan as an obsessive and selfish jerk who isn't as lovable as he is portrayed in the drama. it wouldn't make sense if they made him too lovable when he is the total opposite in the novel. i get your feelings towards him and it would've been more understandable if this was a modern drama. but yisan's character was never supposed to be ideal.
Can someone give me the summary of ep 14 to 17? I don't want to watch this anymore since o don't want to watch…
if u want a happy ending u can watch until ep 16 !! the ending there is very happy and lovely. it's quite hard to summarize everything that happened in ep 14 to ep 17. maybe come back here after u watched ep 16 and ill summarize for u what happened in ep 17 ^^
does anyone just smile while rewatching those happy and funny moments then u suddenly start crying bc u remember how everything changed so much? i feel like im going crazy. the only way to move on is to hit my head hard and forget everything
this is the type of drama that when u rewatch it, the meaning of the scenes and lines will be different from how it was before. especially that fucking poem the first time i watched it i was smiling ear to ear, now im sobbing bc the message changed completely after knowing what happened in the last episode. it's like a whole new experience, a more agonizing one.
I was planning to give this drama a 9 or 9.5 until I watched that ending - the dream sequence. WHOSE IDEA WAS…
it was not a dream, it was the afterlife. yisan had the chance to go back to life if he opened the door, but he chose to stay with deokim thus the line "so the moment became forever". but it could be also interpreted as a dream or memory if u want because the drama left it vaguer than the novel.
The Red Sleeve Episode 5, when Yisan's mother came while he was tasting the coming-of-age foods and Deokim was…
another ironic thing is that lady hyegyeong was initially thought to be an obstacle in yisan and deokim's relationship, but in the end she was the one pushed it through for yisan's happiness.
The Red Sleeve Episode 5, when Yisan's mother came while he was tasting the coming-of-age foods and Deokim was present at that time.
"I have no intention of keeping a lowly court lady near me. Only the prestigious noble family deserves to be by my side. They are the only ones who can give birth to a legitimate successor and it's my duty to have such a successor. Born as a crown prince, I lived a comfortable life. Every time I eat nice food and wear expensive silk clothes, there were duties piling up. I will dedicate myself to this country. I'll never put my personal life first."
This line hits a whole lot differently now. The first 3 sentences turned out to be ironic- he kept Deokim near him, and Deokim gave birth to the very first successor/crown prince. But he stayed true to his last 2 sentences, he always put his country above his personal life :(
Funny isn't it? Would things have been different if he indeed did all of this? Or if he did the opposite of all he said? Either way, there would be always something at risk in whatever decision he chooses.
The Red Sleeve Episode 5, when Deokim thought Yisan had a courtesan he adored.
Yisan: You thought I was a bum who would frequent the courtesan house just to hook up courtesans? Deokim: No, you aren't. But you are also a man, and not many men keep their desire under control just to uphold their principles.
In the end, it was Deokim herself that Yisan desired over. He managed to uphold his principles, but it was the thing that would always hurt Deokim. The fact that he would always choose his duties as a king over her.
"I find it perplexing that despite the fact that the vast majority of people who consume kdrama are women, many still did not understand Deok Im’s reluctance to accept San’s proposals. #TheRedSleeve"
