Definitely remake of Korean drama "Five Enough." I did enjoy "Five Enough."
I saw that K-drama too. It was very good. That one was 3+2. The guy's parents were in-laws from hell. I just finished the first episode, and I like it somewhat. At least it gives me something else to watch in a different genre..
People in the comments hating Kim Dami for no reasons are the weirdest comments I have come to read. What are you hating her for? Because she is better than your fave or simply because you feel like hating?
Kim Dami is one of the great actresses in SK. She has got the highest achievement awards such as Blue Dragons Awards, Baeksang Arts Awards, APAN, Buil, AAA, Grand Bells, Director's Cut. She has been doing nothing but acting and endorsing (that comes with her popularity). She has also done a great work in this drama. Director Yoon said that he respects Kim Dami and that the role is perfect for her. The hate on her is ridiculous.
Episode 30. I enjoy having an episode with just the leads sorting things out. It was cute to see the multiple…
first of all, book and drama, yunyi was brought in as a pretend/fake concubine. her title as a concubine is of a term for coverage.
in the drama, they left together. it sort of open in a way b/c she only went b/c she accepted the mission assigned to her and of course, easy for her to say without feeling the weight of guilt for missing out.
i like the book ending for them better: in the book, shu 'er stays single no matter how his family tried to set him up with all eligible ladies in the capital. his aspiration/goal is to achieve his own career and set a path for himself, uphold the family name/honor and serve his country. he ended up becoming the youngest right chancellor, the king's right hand mand. he and yunyi both know that their union is impossible due to their statuses. he remain a bachelor for her. that's his way of being devoted. yunyi choose to explore/wander and see the world (seems like she left for a couple of years). she told him she does not want to hinder him or be the reason why he didn't reach his aspirations in life. at the end of the novel, she sent him a letter telling him about this yummy roast chicken she had and if he wants, she could bring him one. their fate was left at that. her character is special bc she serves ML as his shadow guards but she also have the freedom to leave the guards if she wants.
concubine is not the same as the main/legal wife. concubine is seen more as property/slave/servant vs a wife. They are just an extra body to serve the husband. they don't get the pre wedding rituals, do the ceremony or even pay visits to the ancestoral shrine. they can't wear the red wedding gown. they don't get announced to the public that they are 'married' to the family. they don't have the privilege to enter through the main/front door. an example provided: concubine liu and the ming chu (since she's born illegitimate, her treatment is also different) entered through the side or secondary door mainly b/c of their status. the concubine serves tea to the main wife. the only time a concubine could elevate her status if she could bear sons (guarantee she could grow old in the manor is she doesn’t do anything wrong) or if she's highly favored by the husband (even this is frown upon since society /court does not approve of the husband doting on the concubine and ignoring the main wife). even if she has children, the children cannot address her as mother. the only mother they could call is the main wife. the children address their biological mother as 'yi niang' auntie-maiden/female. they don't get divorce or the option to leave. if they want out, it will be at the mercy of the lady in charge.
Kim Dami is perfect for suspense, espionage or thriller genre as smart bad-ass FL. She was phenomenal in the Witch and is back to slay her role in this drama 😍💕

What does it mean that this drama was dubbed? 😅 That's something I never understood
This is what I think it means. The Chinese have a rule that all dramas must be in Mandarin. Many actors do not speak in Mandarin, so they get voice actors to voice the character's parts in the drama. That is referred to as dubbing. So when you watch it, the voice you hear may not be the actor's real voice. If an actor can speak in Mandarin, sometimes they dub themselves. Sometimes, even if an actor can speak Mandarin, if the director/producer thinks his/her voice does not suit the character, they may also decide to use a voice actor to dub the voice.
