It actually doesn't really happen. ML is really smart and adapts to situations quickly, so he picks up on how to dress by himself very quickly. It's really a breath of fresh air this drama. (albeit being old lol)

"Moon Lovers" definitely if you like a bit of heartbreak, "Mr Queen" is fantastic but more on the comedy side, "Arthdal Chronicles" is fantasy but also big on the feelings, "Splash Splash Love" is a great one-shot (more like a movie), "Moon Embracing the Sun" is old, but has beautiful cinematography and great acting, it caused quite a stir back when it aired. "Queen for seven days" is tragic, but certainly a great drama. Personally I also quite enjoyed "Secret Royal Inspector" and "Missing Crown Prince" is also good, even though some things annoyed me. There are a lot of historical dramas that are supposedly good but were too cheesy for me (f.e. Love in the moonlight, 100 Days my Prince)...

I wouldn't say unnecessary, it just becomes very emotional. I personally liked episode 15 and 16, but you'll have to be prepared for a bit of heartbreak. Still one of my favorite dramas to date.

What do you want from a historical drama? I can give you some recs if you like, I watched a ton... I saw in your list you mostly watch new dramas (2016 or newer), while the vibe might be different in older productions, there's some really good ones. My favorite oldie is 'Queen And I', it's a time travel drama, but has quite a few historical parts, and BIG FEELS. The beginning may seem a bit difficult to get through, but it's really worth it imo!

Your comment's pretty rude, even if you don't care for an actor's appearance, you don't have to throw around such insults. Personally I think ML is extremely handsome, he already caught my eye in Suspicious Partner. FL is beautiful, too, her aura in Run On is on another level. So year, to each their own, I just wish people wouldn't be this mean.

I did like the songs in OSN, but every song loses its charm if it's repeated over and over and over, often several times within one episode. I think both dramas would've made exceptionally beautiful movies or short dramas. Not enough meat for full dramas in my opinion. But I hope you'll keep enjoying them :)

Yeah thanks, I'm at that part now and they just started dating, but I've decided to take a break from it for now.

Yah, it was exactly the same for One Spring Night. Same director, writer and music composer. Endless slow-mo scenes, repetition of songs over and over and literally no plot. I usually love slow slice-of-life realistic romance dramas, but I couldn't with these two. Dropped both.

I really liked Kim Jae Won in Hotel King, the role was perfect for him. It wasn't a very difficult character to portray though, so I cannot say much about his acting. I am not sure I'll be watching this, though, both Something in the Rain and Spring Night were a snooze fest for me personally and it's the same writer...

Agreed. And nobody does anything about it, the mother says 'why, don't say that to her' but that's it. It's almost like it's supposed to be funny?! Verbal abuse is still abuse. How can you treat your child like this? Even more so when he himself is a shameless sloth doing nothing but eat and fart and poop and ordering his wide around. And poor Chung Ah, she's getting shit thrown at her from all sides. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

The father is such an evil and disgusting sloth, it makes my toes curl. He's been unemployed for 38 years, treating his wife like a maid. Whenever he sees FL he insults her, even telling her to die, how a human being can be this shameless is beyond me: "It’s only morning but you look sallow like a loser. When will you start earning your keep already? Just start working if you’re too stupid to study. You’re done for employment and your life even more. (…) You're gonna fail this time too. You’ve had eight years of failure, if you get your hopes up, you’ll be the one at fault. She tried to give up her life, why can’t she give up her dream? Move!! Why did I have such a daughter? What a waste of seaweed soup [eaten on one’s birthday]." I hope he gets run over by the truck of doom and dies. I hate him almost more than the sister's mother in law (not quite, but almost).

She says in the article "With this I am not bidding you goodbye, since this article has a twin, which I am vigorously working on!" So I guess we'll be getting one for female characters soon, yay!

When the Weather is fine is one of my absolute favorite dramas, I've seen it half a dozen times. But I wouldn't really call ML a green flag, to be honest. While he obviously cares a lot for FL, due to his traumatic past he doesn't allow himself to be happy. He doesn't communicate well, neither with his family nor FL, and withdraws frequently (the mountains or mentally) when it gets too much. After FL confesses (because everything he says and does SCREAMS 'I'm in love with you') he initially doesn't reciprocate which leaves her emotionally unstable and questioning herself. I don't blame him, he had a lot on his plate and the beauty in this drama also lies in peoples' imperfections. But all in all, I wouldn't say he's a green flag from the get go.

Ah yeah of course, I just meant with my original question, if it's only a flashback sorta thing that happened long before the setting of the drama. I mean I could feel it from the get go that it was gonna be him, but it was still really painful. I cried buckets in the first episode.

Definitely some I agree with. Personally I also thought King The Land did quite good at portraying green flag male characters. ML was consistent in loving FL and sharing troubles and worries and he treated everyone politely kindly regardless of status. And then honorary mention to not quite a main character, Ro Woon (the flight attendant) is possibly the greenest of all green flags, and I want one for myself. I mean, he's just so wholesome without being overbearing. Never pressuring, just silently supporting in a way that makes him so lovable and dependable. Guys like him probably mostly exist in dramaland, but still... Dreamy.

I'd also like to mention Ryan Gold from Her private life, because despite his past trauma, he was very understanding and supportive, despite FL's lies and deception. Gentle and kind to everyone around (except when someone goes against his beliefs). A very beautiful love story in my opinion.

Agreed, Kim Yeong Ho is such a loving and supportive guy, and as you said, he always says 'healthy is the sexiest'. It has nothing to do with her weight but that she had weight-related health issues. And his withdrawal when sick was actually just in the beginning before they started dating, after they were in a relationship he allowed himself to lean on her and let her support him as well. It's one of my fav dramas to date in terms of relationship goals also.

I really love the two main actors so I wanted to love this. I started watching it yesterday and watched four episodes (full one hour eps). I really liked the first two episodes, it was nicely done albeit sad and quite dark there was still some comedy sprinkled in. But episodes 3 and 4 were a bit hard to watch so I've started skipping scenes. I hate ML's aunt/chairwoman, she's one of the worst mother-in-law characters in dramaland, and FL's father is a lazyass douche who keeps telling his daughter she's useless and she should just die. I really loved Seol Ah in the beginning but she turned out to be selfish and cruel, abandoning her family for money and fame and then blaming everything on her little sister. Cheong Ah and Joon Hwi don't have enough screen time together so far, is it going to change? Does it take a long time for romance to blossom? I don't know if I can take 100 episodes of such hateful and terrible characters just for the main leads...

I started watching yesterday and even though it's in the first episode, someone does commit suicide, we see it, so it's not actually a flashback of something that happened long ago. But yeah, it should get a suicide tag.

that's not true actually.

The way everyone treats someone who is obviously a victim and scarred from the past, who could end up taking her life because of the pain she had to suffer, is beyond me. That's no way to treat someone. I hope FL gets a break soon and finds comfort with ML, because at this point all she gets is hatred.
