Yes, now when Jang Hyuk's character knows that king loves her. I think he will manipulate Yoo Jung to come with him at palace as a queen contender. In the preview some men were seen attacking business place of Yoo Jung. So, I guess she will be blackmailed.

I am going to love this drama, these days rarely any drama have such interesting pilot episode.

It's an average drama, though it did not live upto my expectations. The human psychology in crisis was illustrated excellently in recent zombie drama Happiness. But, here they did not dwell at deeper level, that's why many aspects of plot seems hollow. The back story of main leads was well elaborated, it would have been better if they have shown Kwak Dong Yeon's character back life story 'cause his character appeared interesting. Acting was good overall, but in the whole drama, something seems off and missing.

I don't care about ratings, this is Baeksang worthy drama like My Mister.

I love Red Sleeves because the show has shown the nuances of grief, isolation, sense of abandonment,loneliness women used to feel in palace in those times. Its ratings were high in korea even when everyone knew that its going to be sad ending as it was based on real historical figures. Also this show has depicted the story both from the male and female perspective, and as it was real story, it seems more raw and real. Because giving happy endings, lovey dovey moments, larger than life personas of MLs and FLs are easier in fiction, though in reality people are complex creatures.

Different women have different preferances. As I said the FL was way ahead of her time. In present times also, there are situations when we love someone but after a while find out we aren't compatible enough or we are losing ourselves in a realtionship so we break up. Her dream was not to become concubine and be caged beneath the palace walls. She was the one who helped the ML to get the throne, she loved him but did not want to be with him, it was her choice. And when she finally decided to be with him, eventually she lost her dreams and herself in the relationship. Her definition of perfect little life was to live independently, that's it.
Just because women faced far more dreadful atrocities historically, does not mean woman who faced subtle opressions, polygamy, forceful kiss is not grave. Its the same as saying that women who face verbal violence should consider themselves lucky because they do not suffer physical assault.

Why do people rate drama just by watching 1 episode. Is it normal?

I guess many women can relate to the FL of Red Sleeves, I can't even imagine how women would have felt when polygamy was normal culture. As a cocubine, she could not move out of palace with her own whim, nor could she earn money, she sacrificed everything for king, but the king still wanted to hear the words I love you. The reason she never expressed love with words, because she wanted to hold onto power for atleast one thing. Women now are in better condition than of that time, but the thoughts, reason of FL of Red Sleeves was way ahead of that time, thats why she suffered. But obviously people find it irritating because when a king kisses you forcefully, woman should understand the love behind it. When king finds out her concubine is pregnant, he need to go to the queen's palace because obviously ruler's responsibility comes first. Which woman would like it? I am not saying it was a fault of a king, the time and phase was cruel against woman. So your FL chi-chi comment is excessively mysoginist and sexist.

Also, in 9th ep Forensic doctor said that ghost's DNA is no more unstructured, they didn't explain that part too.

But at the end Manok died, Saebyeok shot him, so what was the point?

I really loved the show till ep 9. But last episode is such a disaster. Why the hell the ghost was saving Kim Manok ?Relation between Saebyeok and Kim Manok? No questions were answered. I was so excited for last episode, my mood got totally ruined by this pathetic ending.

I guess she has a borderline depression. She's an introvert, no doubt but when introverts are depressed, some of them might think that their lacking social skills are the reasons that are making them sad and miserable. Her senior who I guess she dated, ran with her money with his ex gf, her so called friend did not consider her significant enough to ask her to join trip. And it might not be a first time, she would be facing these since long time, but she broke down when she reached a saturation point. So, she decided to be happy, because she thinks she can be happy if someone helps her. While during dinner when her family was discussing the secretive and suspicious life of Mr Gu, she might have thought that a guy who driks to escape reality could help her. obviously, we can't expect rational decisions from her at this point as she is not mentally healthy and she is desperate and impulsive enougha to become happy so she could have asked any stranger the same and Mr Gu was in the field of vision. Honestly, deep inside we all are begging respect from others, no body wants to be mocked through condescending comments like- Isn's she so adorable. But the girl won't hold her deep inside yearning, she will ask,beg, will do whatever to make herself less miserable. And obviously she will get character development as the series progress. So, you shouldn't judge her character and choices because at this point she is at extreme low where clinging on a small hope, even depending on drugs with a hope for better tomorrow seems fine, so begging for love and respect is just her way of clinging on her fragile life.

My all time comfort drama is My Mister. I really really want this drama to be as amazing. i desperately want to feel all those emotions of desolation, abandonment, regret yet soft, nostalgic and home like, things i feel when i watch My Mister.

If the main leads do not end up together atleast give us Yu Rim and Ji Woong happy ending. Bona's acting was so good in ep 14, subtle yet natural, she beautifully expressed a 20 year old YuRim who is still an innocent child yet brave enough to risk it all for her family. I am in love with love all the actors.

Woah!! If it's Lee Joon Gi, this is going to be masterpiece.

Seo Ye Ji is a great actress. Also this drama seems thrilling and exciting. Wishing for the drama success of our pretty Seo Ye Ji.

I don't agree with higher level of morals statement . But its true that we Asians value family/society more than love. The ML did not want to break off the marriage because of his son and societal constraints and dogma regarding divorce. The wife also cheated the ML but never thought of divorcing even when it was loveless marriage and she was unhappy.

Try My Mister if you had not watched it yet. It is both sad and comforting drama. And the characters are not hyper motivated and super positive. They are depressed, clinging to sadnes, pity and just trying to surviving without dying.

This drama is so thrilling and exciting. I did not feel this way after watching kdrama since long time. And Kim Tae Ri is goddess, I love everything about her. And NJH looks so fine here. I will die waiting for next episodes.

Guys, if you are avoiding this because of the similar plotline as of police university then you are losing out. 6 episodes are out until now and its funny and relaxing drama.
Friendship plot is emphasised more realistically here. In Police University, i did not laugh on any supposed to be funny scenes as it seemed more like a forced humour. But this drama is funny and actually made me laugh. All the casts acting and chemistry is fun to watch. I find that in Police University story revolves around male characters and female characters did not get much focus. But the plot of female characters have been emphasised here. Females here have personality, smart , funny and they put effort for friends. Their role is not shallow only circling around male leads. Especially,the role of Park Sung Joon is really funny.
