I finally finished this! A cute, fun, silly romp with some dark scenes here and there and a crazy villain thrown in (would have loved to see less of Seo Myeong Ju in the last few episodes); I thought all of the sweet characters were quite lovable!
Don't think too hard to make it all make sense (cause it won't on closer scrutiny 😅), and enjoy!
9.4 is too much. There were many things wrong with this series. Many things. Especially how they portrayed the…
Isn't Jeju traditionally matriarchal, though? If so, this dynamic is cultural, to some extent.
I haven't seen this drama yet, but I think it'd be refreshing to see a husband serve his wife voluntarily, selflessly and sacrificially, and have it portrayed in media as beautiful; many, many wives have done it for millenia, and we've seen THAT dynamic portrayed in media a lot already. 😉 Let the hubby have a go at it!
I haven't seen this drama yet, but without even watching it, I get the impression you had a bone to pick before even starting. 😅
If this drama says that life, love and family is messy, imperfect, beautiful, life-changing and challenging, then it seemed to hit the nail on the head...
This show is consistently ranking above 90% (9.0) everywhere! If you still are not watching this by now, what…
I'm not ready to cry that much! 😅 I really want to watch it with my sister, but she is currently expecting a baby boy in a few months, and I know the MC loses a son (my impression is when he's quite young?) at some point, and I think it might hit too close to home right now so I don't want to suggest it yet.
Sort of, I mean there's a lot of male friendship and loyalty and deep bonds. But it's not like "buddy" bromance, it's like friends that partner together to uphold justice because they care about the same things and want good for the empire and those they love (and those who were wronged in the past). If you watch you'll know what I mean.
I want to watch this on the plane so I have something to pass the time, but based on the comments I'm afraid it'll be too embarrassing--because I'll probably be a weepy mess! 😭
I've never seen drama score GO UP to a 9.2 after airing (I guess besides TW). I guess I have to watch this, and I really do miss Bo Gum!
Nirvana In Fire 2, Castaway Diva and Reply 1988 are the only dramas that have made me ugly cry while watching them, but it looks like this one might beat them! I got teary just watching clips...so, I'm done for. 😂
This show had a steady rating from the time of airing and now, not only here but in most other platforms also…
It's been happening more and more with popular shows on MDL. I wonder if it's because MDL is getting more traffic as dramas get bigger globally. More traffic = more opinions = more trolls. 😔 It's obvious much of the negativity comes from contrarians/trolls on this page because people with reasoned criticism based on more objective faults in a drama will tend to give more constructive reviews or comments (and share their opinions with less vehemance). Some people just delight in getting everyone riled up. 😅
That said, I think this show is divisive because people go into it with the wrong expectations without carefully checking the plot, genre, and tags. They just see "high rating" and expect it to be something they'll love.
It's because most people only evaluate, they don't write reviews...
It's enjoyable! But it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you don't like fluffy rom-coms then you'll probably not enjoy it as much as many on this site seem to. It's sweet and fantastical, but not realistic, and has some weak parts in the time travel part of the writing; it didn't bother me, though, because I wasn't going into it expecting tight sci-fi writing. 😅

Glad you were able to get more clarity!
