Finally a proper sageuk, hopefully the story stays compelling throughout. The production and acting seems on point…
Couldn't agree more. I have been waiting for a good sageuk for months if not years.
For those who wonder what standards for sageuk's I have, I simply need it to have 50/50 plot meaning 50% romance and 50% politics, so no My Dearest was not a hit for me :/
Are you talking about him trying to reveal the female leads true identity?
Force? He is being a Joseon gentleman. If he was really forcing her, he wouldn't say that he would have her hand if he wins a game against her. If he was truly forcing her, the whole discussion wouldn't have happened, and the marriage would have been signed without the female lead's say in it. Majority of high ranking marriages were done like that in Joseon - without the man's or woman's say in it.
I thought June Hur is South Korean (though has lived a long while in Canada). So do her books still count as foreign?...…
Since her books are written originally in English, I did count them as foreign :) Basically I counted them all as foreign since non are written originally in Korean :)
This would not be the first time, nor last time and it doesn't happen only in Korean cinematography. Scriptwriters do this to gain viewers with unexpected twists to the original story. Sometimes, it is success, while other times - like here - the project gets heavily criticized.
I literally know u only from the comment above. I am not saying anyone is lying here, I just want to know your version of the story because I am genuinely curious cause there has been only one version of ending going around MDL comment section (as far as I know).
Love triangles are my most hated trope in Kdrama. They are utterly and completely useless.The only way to make…
This is not a triangle, but unrequited love since Ji Won doesn't feel anything for him :) This stage will soon pass and Eun Ho will focus on another woman instead.

He is truly a gentleman.
Also, your book rant is totally valid hahaha!
Idk if that's good or no T.T
