gonna miss commenting here 😭 trs was the only drama where i engaged in the comment section of mdl. i hope junho and seyoung really reunites in a romcom drama and we'll see each other again

the red sleeve beautifully portrayed the reality of joseon era. the harsh reality of polygamy and life in the palace. i don't think i've ever seen a kdrama portray the struggles of various types of people living in joseon as well as the red sleeve does. from the queen dowager who was trapped inside the palace, the king who was a son of a lowly maid, a man who wanted his sister to reach the top of the pyramid, a court lady who wanted death inside the palace, a princess whose son died in her stead, a king who had to fulfill his duties no matter what, and of course, a court lady who only wanted freedom.

the quote from the drama that summarizes the story very well :)

"The palace is such a dazzling prison."

they ended the drama in the most beautiful way possible. the writing is not perfect, but it did an outstanding job in making the drama exquisite and impactful.

"If this is a past memory, it is fine. If it is a dream, it is fine. It does not matter if I am dead. I will always choose this moment with you, and hope this moment to not change. For this moment to be forever." - Yisan

"So the moment... became forever." - Deokim

And that is how the 22nd ruler of Joseon, left his country to stay with the first and only woman he has loved, he loves and will love forever in that moment.

you should watch mr sunshine !! idk which is sadder between the red sleeve and that because it's been years since i watched it, but i remember it took me a very long time to move on from it. tho the main characters are fictitious, the events are true to life and the groups of people. basically whole setting is part of history.

put spoiler warning

put spoiler warning

kinda wish that junho has a surprise ost for us like lee sun hee, and that it'll play when deokim dies or when he's mourning for her because i love pain. tho it's probably unlikely because he's been too busy with the shoot

are you ready TRS nation? lee sunhee's ost is now released 😭😭

if you guys wanna see some snippets from the novel, search "@yuuru0911 #TheRedSleeve" on twitter !! they also post how a scene from the drama that's taken from the novel was written.

is it just me i kinda miss princess hwawan HAHAHHAHAHA not that i want her to come back and ruin things tho. i think it's the actress that i missed? she did a really great job portraying her character. i was hoping she'd receive an award for it.

i think it was yisan's words in that scene that convinced her. the scene showed yisan's character development and it was the most sincere & transparent he has ever been to her. instead of the usual "i want you to be my concubine", he said "thank you". deokim saw that he genuinely wanted to bring back what they had before.

DID YALL SEE THE NEW STILL CUTS?? THEY'RE FINALLY HAPPY TOGETHER 😭😭

yeah i saw that dream scene from the novel 😭 i hope they'll follow it

lee seyoung : "Deokim best scene in the drama is the final scene. it was so touching and will linger for a long time. That final scene was also the reason why I decided to be part of this drama."
(trans: @shjky)

do yall think it will be a bittersweet ending or straight up tragic ending? 😭

i think it will be a sad ending because the recent episodes followed a lot from the novel

CONGRATS TRS NATION !! 8 WINS OUT OF 13 NOMINATIONS <3

he isnt a nice person but not necessarily an evil person as well (like a pure evil kind of person, tho he did detestable things). i don't think he's the character u would hate the most

tbh i kinda hope she will HAHAHAHAHA but i have a feeling the ending might be the same as the novel because seyoung said her last line in the drama will leave a lasting impression and her description matches perfectly with her last line in the novel....
