The agency did crappy job since they let him waste away almost 10 years without any dramas or romantic lead roles. He is already starting to look old and Korean entertainment industry is ageist af.
This is the first historical kdrama I’ve decided to watch till the end. it’s very good, but wow the level of sexism is something I’ve never even seen in Chinese dramas. It kind of explains a lot about modern Korean sexism.
I feel like I am watching a Chinese version of a British costume drama I usually see on Masterpiece Theater. The cinematography and attention to detail is really different from other period c-dramas, even above Ming Lan and Love Like the Galaxy. The way they filmed the carriages and the marketplace to small details like brushing teeth and making food is really on another level. I hope the writing lives up to the production because so far the mom is really too campy and annoying.
Is it considered a trope when a FL is smart and good at reading people/situations but doesn’t realize the ML loves her when all those close to him know it?
I’m tired of the trope where FL is too proud to ask the ML for help. For god’s sake, he specifically worried about her taking risks and told her he would help if she gets in trouble. She doesn’t deserve a strong man if she is going to act like he doesn’t exist. 🤦🏻♀️
