I don't think it's fair to compare this to A Business Proposal because ABP was a genre parody basically. I agree about what you said, but for me, it was refreshing tbh, because I'm fed up with the same story with the poor girl dating a billionaire guy. They're usually stretching this type of story for until the finale. I hate when they do that, maybe that's I liked this version more, because it felt more real or new. It was a typical feelgood, slice of life show basically where nothing big happens, and I'm a sucker for that tbh. I don't like the overdramatized stories for just the sake of it. But one thing's for sure, there wasn't any proper conflicts, could've been with the sister, but they ignored that too.

I know everything about the real history of the story. Most of it is true and a lot of it just fantasy, basically. That wasn't my point, btw. Me not liking the finale has nothing to do with the real history. I don't care if a show has a happy ending or a sad ending. All I want is a consistent writing and the fact is that they rushed the finale. The ending wasn't build up, it ended like in a heartbeat, and I hate when writers do that. Also, the daughter is still a mystery, so everything that happened to her and her lover is a FICTION! And THAT'S why I said they could've done a much better finale. Sure, they can't kill off the King (tbh I would do that because why not? This is a KDrama not a documentary) I can understand that, but we don't know much about Seung Yoo and Se Ryung and their REAL relationship and how it ended.

Honestly, IF they would've built up the ending 2 or 3 episodes before the finale, I wouldn't have any problem with the show.

WOW! Finally, watched a KDrama that isn't depressing as hell and the ending wasn't ruined. I can't believe it first, but in the penultimate episode they got me for a sec with THAT ending.🤣 That's rarely happening to me after watching more than 500 TV shows and more than 2000 movies. So, props to the writers. Well done!👏 BTW, is it me or this drama is almost the same as the Business Proposal?

I'm not saying she didn't, I loved her character too, easily one of the best written female character, especially in historical dramas. I love the show too, my only problem is the finale. I don't get it why they "always" ruining the last episode in almost every drama. It was almost perfect till the finale. Also, I agree, she didn't have anyone who helped her for a very long time. I just think Da Hee for me is more relatable, because she was a nobody basically, and that's why I think she suffered more because she didn't have any options. In the other hand, Se Ryung could just leave like she did in the last couple of episodes. That's my other problem with the show, but we could say this about basically every KDrama. If she leaves, there's no issue.😅

I'm not trying to hate the show, btw, I'm just being honest and fair. I won't give a show good ratings just because I love Moon Chae Won for example. I gave it 8/10 overall, that's a pretty good rating in my opinion. Like I said, my biggest problem with the show is that they wanted to finish everything in the last episode, like in many other KDrama, and I hate that. Also, I really don't like the ending because it doesn't make sense at all! For like 20 episodes, he wanted revenge, he was there, he could've killed the King, but he was an idiot, so he almost died and the only reason why he didn't because he was a main lead. Not to mention how much I hated when and how they killed off Jong. Also, the worst part in the finale is that the King literally became a "nice" person for just the sake of the happy end. Not to mention the fact that their friends doesn't even know that they're not dead. That was really irritating and unnecessary!

Sure, but that's "just" emotional suffering. She could've just move on and forget everything. Nobody would hurt her if she wouldn't leave her family. SPOILER FROM HERE if you didn't watch the show!!!

In Hur Jun, Da Hee was an average woman who did everything for her husband and she was tortured too because of him but still stayed with him till he died. In my eyes, her suffering is harder because she didn't have anyone except her husband, his mother, and their son.

This show is THE prime example that if you're a good writer, you can make a typical cliché story much better. My only problem with this show is that it's too short. There should be a 2nd season because like many other Kdrama the finale was a mess. Too many unfinished stories and so many were finished in 2 minute. Also, the Drama in the Drama part was my favorite, probably. That's what made the whole cliché story better, because it's not a typical romcom because they literally made fun of their own show, so it's more like a parody.

Also, Da Hee in 'Hur Jun, The Original Story 2013'. She was even better female lead because she wasn't a Queen or a Princess, so she had to suffer way more.

Why they always ruin a great show in the finale?

Alleged rapist! The woman dropped all charges, so he's innocent.

I have a huge talent to find the most depressing shows. And the frustrating ones too.😅

Here's an artice for people who think living on an Island for 15 years is unrealistic, nonsense or else. https://www.boaterexam.com/blog/real-castaways

Honestly? I would love to live on an island till I die. You can only get mental problems from other people.😂 So it 100% make sense that she's not crazy. Also, we have only seen short teasers, so you can't know what's going to happen on the show. Stop guessing. Also, she always wanted to be a singer, not after she spent 15 years on an island. People tend to forget that not everyone is the same. What I don't get is why people trying to find realism in Kdrama's. It's a fiction, not a documentary.

Also, you should read this: https://www.boaterexam.com/blog/real-castaways/

So your only problem is that she's looking good? You know, it's not hard to make weapons and stuff. People think they would die in a situation like this but trust me they wouldn't. Like I said, you don't need much to survive. You can eat fish and other animals or food. She's probably having her own clothes too. There's literally zero reason to want reality in ANY KDrama, all of them are fairy tales basically. Well, 98% of them. If you think the Cast Away movie was realistic, think again. Also, we don't know anything. You're making an opinion based on a couple of pictures. We only assume things so far. Wait till we see the whole show. I'm pretty sure it won't all fun and games for her on that island.

Are you kidding? How is it ridiculous? You never watched the Cast Away movie? It's literally the same story except Tom Hanks' character wasn't a diva.🤣

Lot of people still live on an island, some tribes for example. It's not like you can't find food or water, there's a lot. You don't need to eat homemade food to survive. Also, there's the ocean, so she can bathe any time.😅

In the real world, millions of people hardly eat anything because they're broke and don't use any cosmetics. Nowadays, people think you can't survive a singe day without the tech, fast food, a make-up and nice cloths. 🤣

I mean... you don't have to use cosmetics to be beautiful. 🙄

This is the longer teaser! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fQbVG3iRpA

Jesus, I'm so naive, I thought there were a REAL problem with the show or the actors, but no, it's the same crap. Fangirls can't stop moaning about the love story. Seriously, you guys only watch tv shows because of the love story? You should watch Latin-American soap operas, it's always a happy ending for the main couple.🤣

Anyone who says this show is underrated, doesn't know anything about ratings. First, 6.8 overall is better than AVERAGE. 10/10 means PERFECT. 5/10 means AVERAGE, so this show is pretty much overrated now. Second, if you don't know how to rate something, PLEASE for the love of God, just don't rate anything! You're the reason people are watching high rated dramas because they see 8+ rated shows, and they think: “Oh it must be good if it has a high rating.” But in reality, 90% of the shows on MDL have high scores because most people don't care about the story. They rate shows higher because their favorite actors are in it, or they think the main couple is cute, etc.

PLEASE, DON'T RATE ANYTHING IF YOU'RE LIKE THAT! You're ruining the system!

At least half these people are good actors, or even better. Especially IU. I've seen her in a lot of things. She's really versatile. Jung Ho Yeon were phenomenal in Squid Game. Lee Han Byeol were amazing in Mask Girl too, and she's not an Idol btw. The rest I don't know yet.
