I think a lot of people that watch GMMTV stuff and even other productions are used to seeing 90% of the time the main CP on the screen, but actually, it takes away from the depth and realism of the story. If you want to bring life to a story, you have to include the mundane aspects of life and even side characters, as well. After all, people are social creatures and are not alone all the time. Plus if you want to tell a story from multiple angles, other people are needed, as well. BOC productions always put importance on telling holistic stories, not just main CP centered stories, which, I personally, like.
?????we havnt even seen this one yet to know if we want season 2 let alone the direction team doing season 2
It depends on the episode lenght and the power of scriptwriter. Remember, movies are usually 2 hours only, but we got some amazingly deep stories from just 2 hours :)
Literally who cares? First of all, they changed the name. So most viewers won't even know that it's loosely based…
I'll start by saying that I wont be disclosing where I come from as it is not needed. I do not need to be Korean to teach Korean history, after all. I feel that you see things only in black and white and when in history and especially cruel one, that is not how it goes. You saying that EVERYONE is a sinner is a harsh sentence for people who willingly voted for H to be their leader. You keep missing the most important part on how and why H got such support. Was it force? No, it was pure ideology that sounded like a dream in the beginning. Who wouldnt want to pay less taxes and have great amount of social benefits? That is how it all started. That is how Nazi party got the following. Other then close ones, others were sheltered from the truth and lived in their "happy" delusional bubble. So with your judgment you would put to death even those local farmers and their kids because they remembered the heavenly promises that H have made. It totally could be compared to N. Korea. Those villages are filled with ppl in support of Kim, so are they also guilty and should be punished for the deed of others? And even those in capital, you keep forgetting that when tyrant is ruling you got only 2 options; to live or to die. I am not here to change your opinion. If you choose to have this same judgment for everyone it is your right, but please, do not present is as a fact.
The summay comes directly from a Korean source. It wasn't written by MDL user.
.....that is what I said. That the source was in Korean. Why should they "adapt" it to an English audience? Usually synopsis on MDL are literal translations of the synopsis coming from the country of airing. I have read the synopsis and I didnt get spoiled. It is basically a basic character info that almost all dramas have.

Yes and no. You could be a Nazi and not participate in any massacres. Just like you can be a commie but not participate in the shit they do. I am happy that you share the things that have been done, but personally, I do not like when you lecture me - someone who is neighbouring Germany and shared the history and knows deeply about the events that happened not on the surface level.

Yeah, since it changed, no one will mind it, but like I said, if it stayed, people would have a major problem with it. Believe it or not, till this day there are traces of the hate towards this particular monarch.
On the other note, I am aware of Nazi romances, but there is a big difference between a Nazi romance and Hitler romance. You need to dig deeper to truly know the Nazi history, because majority back then were considered to be under ''Nazi'' party and didn't commit any crime. It got so bad that at the end of war, only the high-ranking people that actually contributed to the massacres were executed, but majority were left alone and still held their positions at work for example. It's an unspoken German history that not many know, actually. It's harder to find someone that wasn't in the party, then those that were.
Back, to your comment. I truly think that giving the, ''who cares'' comment you showed insensitivity to the real-life issues that had happened. I think we shouldn't look away from the fact that the actual source material had the tyrant's name in it, thus it was normal for people like the commentor or myself who were here from the beginning to think that this truly wasn't a good idea.

Your comment simply shows how you have 0 respect and care for the actual history. If S. Koreans stayed with the original and kept the tyrant's name, it would cause an uproar, because such name will never ever be forgotten. Maybe you would understand it more, if I compared it to European tyrant, like Hitler? Imagine a rom-com with a freaking Hitler as the main protagonist. That's simply unheard of and disgusting, as well. We can compare Hitler and prince Yeonsan so yeah, it would make a big deal and contrary to your belief, people would care a lot about it.
The Joseon King is specified in this kdrama is King Yeonsangun (reigned from 1494-1506). According to Wikipedia,…
When the news about this drama came out I was concerned, as well. As someone who studies to become a future historian, I know more then what you have written and it is much worse, so to have a story centered around such man, it would be a pure catastrophy.
I guess S. Koreans also thought so and thus changed the main lead's character into a fictional king - Yi Heon, which I am very happy about. The true name - Yi Yung - should be forever buried and never spoken of positively, for sure.
Dex as a ML? Seems like SK is becoming like America where influencers become actors. He's good at variety shows…
Or maybe u arent in the dramaland for a long time. idols turning actors is a normal thing in SK and absolutely doesnt mean anything negative. IU for example is a phenomenal actress and singer. Also, DEX is an ex-soldier so this role suits him the most.
ofc not a happy ending but just better written, feels like they were more focused on teasing the american spin…
the director admitted that in his original script the whole organization went down, so do not say that there was no other choice, when there was. he could have wrapped the story, but he picked big sum of money from NF instead.
If you read through the comment section or reviews, you would know why majority hate this season. Or did you read…
When you're on a 24h shift you find this form of entertainment very funny, trust me :D I had 0 hopes of making them actually understand their mistakes, but truly, it was great killer of time and after that I slept like a baby.
It is simply a political romance series.
The end.
