I think the fundamental difference is entirely fictional characters placed in a historical setting (Bridgerton - where the only character based on an actual historical figure is Queen Charlotte, entirely necessary as it takes place amongst the Ton and the backdrop of debut seasons), versus telling the story of a historical figure and the events of her life. Historical dramas fit in this category. They take place during a real time period but there are fictional rulers and politicians, etc. “Faction” is much more difficult to pull off. Where do you draw the line between fact and fiction? What is actually known/recorded history and how much do you need to fill in the blanks in the record? How you choose to fill those unknowns will always be a target for critics. It will always depend on what the writer and director want to convey through the story. And Bridgerton is 100% American. For all I know the Brits can’t stand it. Koreans should definitely feel empowered to like or dislike any portrayal of their history and liberties it may take. That said, entertainment scandal seems to be the national pastime in South Korea, so let's just go with it being the thing to get up in arms about during a week without a lot going on in the news.

So this appears to be correct and how strange they didn’t just cover it with makeup during the shoot? The idea that he wore a pain patch for YEARS during the timeline of the series distracted me a lot while watching. I kept wanting his “injury” explained. But it looks like he wears or wore this pretty regularly in every day life as well. Not sure why you’d get a tattoo in a visible place and then try to hide it daily?

But seriously, why does everyone keep saying CEO? He’s the heir to the conglomerate, but her direct manager. She’s a Team Leader so he def can’t be CEO. We are missing about 5 layers of management in there at least…

I didn’t recognize her in this photo. I liked her in Find Me In Your Memory and True Beauty. I am definitely excited to see her with Choi Hyun Wook who I think is absolutely incredible.

It was updated. Yay!

It’s because there is no airing end date out here. I submitted a change. Hopefully it will get updated soon. I can’t mark it as “completed watching” because it still thinks it has unaired episodes.

Agree. The tone reminded me of the Eighth Sense, which I also found to be beautiful to watch. It is all about the “feels”.

There was no reason for this to be 40 episodes. Could have been 30 and much better for it. I hate it when the SAME problem keeps pulling a couple apart multiple times. Unnecessary. Love the 1ML and 3ML so I just powered through the slow and repetitive parts.

From the sounds of what you are looking for, you will love this.

I have the same frustration. Watching Love in Time now and enjoying seeing him in something with better pacing and budget although in a support role. I adore him!

If you haven’t seen it, watch “Crash Landing on You.” His character in that is hilarious and his portrayal is fantastic. That’s what I first saw him in a few years ago and it’s the character I always think of whenever I see him.

Nope! I just finished the series and was able to muddle through the worst of the subs thanks to vocab I’ve picked up after hundreds (thousands?) of hours of cdramas. A lot of the time it’s like the computer gave up and it just repeats the wrong phrase 6 times. Ugly.

The AI subs are the best, 😆 it’s always male pronouns when talking about a female character so sometimes you aren’t sure who they are talking about… then there’s the whole FL given name being subbed as Tak? That one I find really distracting.

Agree. Put a huge smile on my face.

Yes, that’s it!

OMG. Thank you!!!! That’s it!!

Anyone else searching for the English song “Better With You” that is in the later episodes? It has started haunting me now that I’m in episode 19 and it has been used for a few episodes now. I wasn’t sure about it at first but it has really grown on me at this point. I searched for it as part of the OST and found nothing. I listened to samples of about 40 songs with this title without success. Anyone have any luck?

Really loved this. It started out a bit iffy, but got better and better as it went along. ML is killing it in those kissing scenes. He should be teaching on screen kissing for actors! 🥰😘

Thanks for the spoiler in your comment that u failed to marks as a spoiler…🤦🏻‍♀️

Can you please not consider the USA as “the West”? It is certainly PART of the West and the biggest driver of Western pop-culture. However, the First Amendment to the Constitution of the USA pertains only to the USA. That’s not woke speak, btw. It’s a kind reminder from a citizen of the West whose home and native land is not governed by the US Constitution…
