Wow, this was even better than I expected. Dying to see what happens next :)

Yes, and it gets better with every episode. Ep 1 and 2 were a little weak, IMO, but it started to become more fun and more interesting from Ep 3 onwards. I'm not a Rowoon fan at all, but even he is doing a good job in this.

So let's sanitize and change history because it makes you uncomfortable. Jesus, I'm so sick of the weak people growing up nowadays. "Ooh, oooh, it makes me "uncomfortable" so don't show that". Pathetic.

Don't understand the low rating for this. The show is cute, funny and the chemistry between the two leads is great. Look forward to every new episode.

Maybe don't bring your "woke" 2023 sensibilities to Korean history, and you'll probably go through life a bit better educated, right?

It's also on ViewAsian -- https://viewasian.co/drama/goryeo-khitan-war -- which is where I've watched all my K-dramas for at least the last 2 years when they're not available in Europe :)

Season 2 starts in 2024. Hence the ending.

Rewatching this and let me tell you, it's even better on the second run thru from the first.

Dropped it this week. Tired of waiting a week for a new episode when there are better and more frequent dramas airing. It's been postponed too many times and the schedule is being dragged out, so it's now a chore to watch. Spending the time I was watching this rewatching Song of the Bandits on Netflix.

Writing is terrible, Jo Bo Ah can't act and plays the most annoying character, and Rowoon looks like his make-up was laid on with a trowel. Add in a cast of mainly unlikeable characters, and a stupid plot that went all over the place and, if you haven't started it yet, don't. I ended up watching the last episode after dropping it at Ep 6. Shouldn't have bothered. It was worse than the first 6 :)

This is SO damned good. Binge-watched all 9 episodes in 2 days, and getting ready to watch it again. One of best K-dramas of the year, IMO. Fabulous performances, amazing action scenes and stunts, and a fun script. Can't believe more people aren't watching this (although it has been in the Top 10 on Netflix since it premiered apparently).

Yeah I could be wrong too :) I just go off what I read elsewhere then see on MDL and they get so much wrong ;(

No, I dropped Under the Queen's Umbrella after the first episode as it didn't grab me, so I don't remember if he was in that episode or not (?). But I saw him in My Roomate is a Gumiho and Cheer Up. Didn't like him in either. Bland, young looking, an average actor, IMO, and not remotely how Kang Tae Ha is portrayed in the webtoon. May actually give the first episode of this a try tho as I just noticed Jin Kyung is in it and I love her! Maybe he'll surprise me???

He's also not a child, unlike the actor portraying him (25 looks like he's 18). It's an "avoid" for me sadly, as the webtoon is excellent, but this one is severely miscast.

Was looking forward to this until it was announced Bae In Hyuk was the ML. Completely miscast if you've read the webtoon (he looks like he's 18 years old). Another K-drama to avoid then. Annoying.

FL is terrible. ONE facial expression the whole way through -- completely blank. The drama itself is well written, Kim Dong Wook is always excellent, and so are most of the supporting actors, but the FL makes this one hard to watch. Found myself fast forwarding thru most of her scenes.

Unfortunately, Jin Ki Joo has one facial expression the whole way through -- blank. (Look at her photo on this page -- THAT"s what she looks like throughout every darn episode). As though she's an imbecile. Loved the first half, but her poor acting skills destroyed the second half for me. A pity so many Korean directors go for looks before they go for the ability to actually act. Will be avoiding anything she's in in future. Talentless. EDIT: Remembered she's also in Secret Life of My Secretary, Hated her so much in that I dropped it midway.

Agreed to some extent, but this one is one of the worst I've watched in a long time.

It was truly terrible. I originally gave it a 6 but have just dropped it to a 4 as the more I thought about how much of a ripoff it was from the work of so many other much better directors, and with no substance at all in either plot or performances, it pissed me off more and more.

I was looking forward to this but, good God, NO.
