The kisses in this drama though. So real that it made me wonder if the leads have something real between them lol. Especially since it's thai drama, which usually tend to have even worse kissing (or none at all) than kdrama.
Wow ep3 really changed things and easily upsets the viewer, I can see why they chose to put the break after ep3, it's a gamechanger episode that makes the anticipation stronger for next eps.
I personally don't mind waiting a bit for the next eps after ep3, the wait I feel gives stronger impact on episodes rather than being able to see what happens next right away.
Also I love how the episodes are stand-alone episodes, yet connected in interesting and surprising ways.
Dramacool is always buffering whenever I want to watch this (on the laptop and iPad) is it just me? Kissasian…
All streaming sites are more troublesome & slower than usual, MDL much more buggier too. Probably because of Corona too many people streaming/browsing/too much traffic.
the poster looks like the fiery priest poster. lol.
I suspect it's the SAME graphic designer behind both posters lol
Both dramas from SBS too so might share some behind the scenes workers
or they've purposefully hired the same freelancer again to create similar promotion that will attract similar target audience as Fiery Priest because both dramas same vibes gives an easy way to also pull in the huge Fiery Priest audience
aka. theyre trying to ride on the huge success of Fiery Priest. ...Looking at the also high ratings for this drama, I'd say their strategy was smart.
*FYI my professional opinion as I work in similar field
Its not the first time watching Im soo jung. Watched her in chicago typewriter. I dont know but i kinda bored…
I really recommend you to watch her older drama I'mSorryILoveYou, it's her best work! Well written too. It's by the Chocolate writer.
KiYoung & her didnt work together yes , both too calm. (Plus he's character written as so 1 dimensional). She worked much better w. JiSub in ISILY, she's better matched with more intense & emotional actors. Two calm people together is indeed just plain boring....
does anyone else find it strange that there are random new members asking how to watch dramas on MDL recently.…
Possibly it's because this show is on Netflix (&is very popular there), and so attracting a new wave of asian drama first timers without a clue of things??
Just finished this drama. WTF. Eps 1-6 were just so boring....but then suddenly the last 2 episodes we're amazing 10/10!
I'd say this drama is worth watching mostly just for the last two episodes alone. It's a shame how a potentially great drama delivered only (&delivered so well!!) only at the very end! Also, hearing of the main actor's passing is just too sad....I'm realizing this was the last drama he ever did & he did it so well.RIP
So what the hell is wrong with MDL?? Other places aren't this hateful, it's JUST MDL lol....even places with some very bad seeds and bitter people normally have been so surpisingly kind to this drama in comparison to here....
I don't know why the toxic people all camp here but oh well someone seems to be jealous over the EXTREME worldwide Netflix love this GREAT drama is getting....
drama: unnecessary slow-mo fight with CG, loud rowdy music to show 'bad-ass action'me: turns the volume down and…
This type is style is actually very typical of COMEDY dramas. Maybe you wanted/expected more of a crime drama with a serious tone?
Probably crime COMEDY genre isnt your thing, please dont take it out on the drama & maybe check out the more serious crime/thriller dramas from OCN channel instead?
To the people critizing KGE character as annoying & too much against Lee Gon:
Would YOU right away believe a guy saying he's from a pararell world, especially when in their first meeting he said "I finally meet you!" "I've been waiting 25 years for you" and "I have your photo" then hugs you, seeming like a creepy stalker type???? So just because he's goodlooking she's supposed to believe him????? You want her to be the easy, desperate type woman???
She's a clever, rational detective who'd look at the evidence (or lack of) objectively first and not believe things that sound like fairytales, especially when Lee Gon acted they way he did when they first met.
....Just what kind of LOUSY irrational detective would she be, if she'd believe a crazy-seeming guy without proof LOL Frankly, had she been written that way I'd have NO respect for her character!
Also rather than filing a Constraining order, that a woman in her situation could easily do, she's actually not doing that and even looking after his horse, even whilst believing him to be a crazy stalkery type!
Now if she's still is contary when later she gets proof, that's a differdnt matter, but for now, she'd be stupid and very annoying to take his side.
Her character writing so far has actually been good, a clever, RATIONAL, strong woman, not the the easy woman who falls at his feet right away type lol
I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS TYPE OF HATE. IF YOU REALLY HATE LMH THAT MUCH, THEN STOP WATCHING THE DRAMA. HE'S…
EXACTLY!!! THE LEVEL OF HATE this is getting is OVER THE TOP!!! I'm someone who doesnt usually like LMH, he's actually okay here imo (Allthough still wish better acting from him).
And the drama is actually good so far so WTF with the hate!?!?
Lol the level of assumption! ....When you really cannot comprehend the fact that someone can have a DIFFERENT opinion than you or of that of the majority....you just jump to conlusion that they MUST be joking??
I wasnt joking actually. Even when saying that her writing has improved since Goblin. To me, Goblin is the most overrated drama of all time, gave it 6.5 rating (only this high because I absolutely adore the Grimreaper&Sunny couple), The King's first eps is 8.0 to me, that is better than 6.5.
Don't misunderstand me (again), The King isn't perfect at all, but good & might get really good when plot develops.
My critisms with drama so far is : - LMH acting - They sometimes give too similar vibe to Goblin yes, should establish more of different vibe - LMH character too quickly likes KGE character, now already even asking her to marry him WTF -Sloppy directing & editing, clumsy transitions from different times & the two worlds (but FAR from the "confusing mess" that people think this drama is. I'm someone who's watched alot of timetravel &AU stories from different countries, this type of storytelling is the NORM actually, only confusing to people who hate complex plot or people too dumb) -Took too long to develop worldbuilding (but then again, in the LONG run, this could turn out to be a good thing, they actually include alot of the fantasy & develop it more properly *I'm looking at you, Goblin!*) -They havent really shown Luna yet -LeeGon too easily WITHOUT BEING SHOCKED, entered the pararrell world
But overall, it's 8.0 for me so far. The 9 rating too high yes, but FAR from bad. Can easily go to 10, IF they execute plot well later.
Of course, this is just the first 2 eps, so if the plot of the whole drama later gets develop badly, then I can change my mind and call it bad. But so far, so good.
The rating is low because this is an classic type of a Korean Drama young audience or people who do know of classic…
EXACTLY!! Unfortunately a large portion of drama watcher's these days are the silly romcom audience type, who can only handle happy endings and not too much intensity,, sadness, depth or complex plots. For this reason ALONE, melodramas automatically get lower rating. I personally LOVE dramatic sad works, my fave genre.
....but ottokkee too many people LACK TASTE beyond simple silly romcoms! SIGH

All Search:WWW, BeMelodramatic and GoodCasting fans,
LOOK, OVER HERE IS ALSO a drama with STRONG FEMALE LEADS & Sismances!!!
Especially since it's thai drama, which usually tend to have even worse kissing (or none at all) than kdrama.
So I've added one, read it above.
I personally don't mind waiting a bit for the next eps after ep3, the wait I feel gives stronger impact on episodes rather than being able to see what happens next right away.
Also I love how the episodes are stand-alone episodes, yet connected in interesting and surprising ways.
Probably because of Corona too many people streaming/browsing/too much traffic.
Sorry but NOONE has any business giving reviews to a drama until all eps aired & watched,
that is why the COMMENTS SECTION exists folks!
I really wish MDL would limit reviewing to those who actually watched most of the drama sigh
With a rapist ML?????
People on MDL, WTF is wrong with you!!!?!

Even their poster/promo style looks very much like a homage to that Charlie's Angels TV series from the 70s.

This pastor is so similar to The Fiery Priest poster, everyone just take a look lol :
