Hate ML with a burning passion (NOT the agtoe THE CHARACTER). OH he die and painfully. Not only a cheating prick…
First of all it doesn't make sense to call it cheating. And second there is literally a scene where a maid gets picked to make clear that these women don't have a choice. Are you even watching the show?
I’ve been preaching that this entire comment section 😅You will not regret. This current series is just for…
No the commenter is full of shit. There is nothing sexualized about the show. If anything most sageuks are desexualized because it's simply true that kings and princes had many concubines. It certainly isn't "for porn lovers". There is nothing sexy about the sex scenes. In one he picks a maid for the night and she obviously has no say in it. In fact she should feel honored. As you can imagine the sex scene was rather terrifying and uncomfortable. As for the royal consumation with the queen she is literally asked to just lay there, no touching allowed and don't make a sound. Meanwhile you have old court maids sitting outside with a fucking rooster doing some ritual and reminding them of the rules. Not exactly sexy. If you want to know the role of women in Joseon this show does a better job than 99% other sageuks.
All that said. Yeah watch King Of Tears. But I would maybe do it the other way around and maybe watch it after this.
Will the queen ever going to take revenge from King cause as per historical record queen won't be able to do anything…
I think it will be more about her holding the kingdom together and securing the lineage with her son as the next king who has a legacy of being a great one. ML also abdicates early in favour of their son so in the drama she might have pulled the strings there.
Honestly, even though the plot seems interesting, the main reason I will be watching this is because of Cha Joo…
Yeah. And if we are being honest there would be a harem situation in any of these historical kdramas. They just always choose to ignore it when they make a "prince falls in love with his maid" drama.
why my mister in particular lol, what bearing does this drama have on that?
It's just the first drama that came to mind because it topped the mdl ratings for a long time. It has always been regarded as some kind of gold standard on the site. Anyway the idea that WTPR is anywhere to close to that level is ludicrious.

It has always irrked me how so many dramas are completely distorting the history and the role of women in Joseon.
