Why does it say age gap (real life) when both actors are in their forties (4 years apart)?
MDL tags can be unreliable. I remember one recent drama where it took weeks of efforts for us (commenters) to remove a clearly erroneous tag which was confusing people. The tag said “Romance” even through it was NOT a romance drama and romance was just a tiny portion of the story.
But he's working on his plan. He's been gathering proof about the murders in the Gyesa years. He's been training…
Personally, I'm sick and tired if this "weak, powerless king/prince" trope in saeguks. It's been in every single one of them that I've watched. And the shady minister is almost always the villain. Their political squabbles is the least interesting part of this drama. We all know how it's gonna end. What's dumb here though, is that the king's family strangely enough has zero political allies/clans/factions supporting them. And the minister has so much power, he basically walks and talks about treason in the open. Then just fkn invent some sh*t again and kill all the royal family in a coup, and then sit on the throne yourself, ffs. You're all relatives anyway through clans' inbreeding. The commoners won't care any way who's ass is on the throne.
I swear, there was only one great saeguk with all-round great plot and even that one required throwing zombies in the mix to make it interesting. You know which one I'm talking about.
There’s really something wrong when people can shrug off a man forcing someone into marriage and gifting severed fingers but don’t hesitate to criticise a women for being “naive”.
Is it forbidden in K-dramas , especially rom-coms for the ML to have an ex and be normal rich man even if he doesn't…
Lol, wdym? The main audience for these dramas are women. And these classic plots allow them to vicariously live a fantasy of having a loving, rich, handsome Prince Charming, instead of broke, toxic, petty, crypto scam addicted goblins they they meet irl dime a dozen. And toxic exes are usually put in dramas for another purpose as well - to show how good ML or FL are compared to them. And also, for the sake of drama. Comments here seem to be very positive, so the tropes work. Also, actors have good chemistry.
Is it forbidden in K-dramas , especially rom-coms for the ML to have an ex and be normal rich man even if he doesn't dating !? Why does the FL always have exes, usually toxic ones,and she was making more effort in the relationship , and the ML has to fight the ex and sometimes get jealous if fl friends with him ? And why do we always get the selfish, evil family who treats the FL (ml) like she isn’t even part of the family!?
Why are rom-coms always the same tropes with different actors? Same storyline every time: meet → fake dating → real dating → breakup/get back together. ML falls first and harder, while the FL has no boundaries with her ex !!!
Poor FL and rich ML… now it’s become as common as humans breathing oxygen lol.
Ji U went on to marry someone else? Ludicrous. She doesn't deserve him. Gyeong Do, find someone who really cares…
Life happens. Not everyone marries their first love. Sometimes marriages don’t work out. Not a minute of this drama has aired yet. We don’t even know the story but you’re already taking Park Seo-Joon’s side.🤣🤣🤣
Her surname is Hwang not Hwangbo so the correct writing of her name is Hwang Bo Reum Byeol. Her name is Bo Reum Byeol, not Reum Byeol. It's three syllables, which rare case but they are exist and have meaning. Reum Byeol is not existing

Is this male focused drama ? For novel reader , does it have happy ending ?I just want to make sure that I won't…
The original work wasn’t. It was a heroine focused novel though a newer 3rd person perspective version has been released. But the drama should be quite different from the novel plot according to rumours but it was said to be an improvement over the source material. I don’t know what route the show is taking or the ending but if it follows the book, Cangcang will be an interesting character because despite her imperfections, she’s proactive and sincere. If you’re talking about Blood River, then no it shouldn’t be like that. Mu Yumo didn’t have many scenes in the source material but Love and Crown should be different because the book was from Cangcang’s perspective.
What's dumb here though, is that the king's family strangely enough has zero political allies/clans/factions supporting them.
