I dislike the cliffhanger or potential that is left from cliffhanger endings more than I dislike unsatisfactory or mediocre endings because I generally watch a drama for a specific reason.
Sometimes I'm in the mood to have my heart broken, so I'll watch a drama I know has a sad ending. Other times my real life isn't going great, so I'll pick one that I know has a guaranteed happy ending. Occasionally I just want to laugh and be entertained without having to think too much, so I'll pick one that is silly and predictable with nothing too groundbreaking because I just want to shut off the real world for a bit and enjoy watching someone else's life from the outside looking in.
I don't ever pick a drama with a cliffhanger (on purpose) because I'm left feeling incomplete at the end, yes I can make up my own ending, think about it for awhile later, even hope for another season...but it also leaves me with a vague sense of incompleteness and that can be a little unsettling if you're not expecting it. The best cure for me in that situation is to just watch the first episode of another drama right away, so I can shift my attention to the next story to be told. I may not get back to watching the second episode for a day or two, but at least my mind can be focused on the potential of the new story instead of the frustrating of the ending of the previous one...but that's just me and I did enjoy reading your article. :)
He doesn't have any roles/dramas listed in the last 2 years, not even anything coming up. Did he retire, take a temporary break, decide to do live theater instead, or did he get blacklisted?
I'm watching it again and i have to say I'm really growing to hate the manager/friend of Xi Song (the ML), the manager is super controlling and doesn't listen to Xi Song's actual needs and wants. UGH!
This drama obtained the distribution license today (March 2) 🥳
Any idea how long passes between obtaining a distribution license and the actual airing? I had another drama that I'm waiting on that got its DL over 3 months ago :/
I think Wen Wan is in love with ML and took the plot he cooked up to deal with the bandits as an opportunity for…
I think they aren't working together yet, but he's seeing the potential to use her, plus he knows her jealousy will make a mess for ML and FL without him even interfering. 😂
That biatchh wen wan coming....... i wonder if she works for the villain
I think Wen Wan is in love with ML and took the plot he cooked up to deal with the bandits as an opportunity for her to make a fake relationship into a real one, she didn't expect FL would show up and win his heart. Wen Wan had no chance even before this, but she doesn't know that, so she's going to blame it all on FL and turn into a villain herself, possibly even joining hands with other villains since she's already in a position of trust and proximity to ML.
It's been put into several hour long episodes on YT, the first episode has pretty bad english subs, but the second one is much better and easier to understand. I enjoyed it even though it was a little difficult to understand the finer points at times due to not knowing the language.
My bet is on a twin. But you never know, wouldn't be the first time a kdrama went with a near perfect look a like.…
Yeah, that's why I'm super confused. It has to be a twin or look a like, maybe hired and brought into the palace specifically because he looked so much like Tae Gang.
So has Tae Gang got a twin that sneaks around in and outside the palace or is it someone using the very convenient plot device of near perfect face disguise?
