Last moments of the first episode broke my heart. This drama should not be binged watched. Repeat it should not be binged watched.

Banning time travel - No way!!!!

Emperor: Owner of the Mask won excellence award. Is this a sympathy award because I'm Not a Robot has poor ratings? Is this a smoke screen to hide the fact that Yoo Seung Ho was okay with seducing Kim So Hyun (a minor) in Emperor: Owner of the Mask? It doesn't matter how good an actress she is. They could have given her part to another legal age actress. I hope for Yoo Seug Ho sake this is the last time he works with a minor in a romantic role.

I'm shock: Owner of the Mask tied with Goblin.

My top choices are Tunnel, Voice, Chief Kim, and Rebel Thief Who Stole the People,

I can't get over the fact that he died on a bright and clear day. The autopsy report says that he died of head trauma, a blow to the head, rather than a heart attack. What made he turn his steering wheel so hard that he crash into the building? Did the car have a malfunctioning problem?

I still can’t believe he is gone. Rest In Peace Kim Joon Hyuk.

No they aren’t connected. If you want to know why he became a vampire watch VP1. But on the other hand, you want to see a crime drama with a supernatural twist. VP is a good choice.

When you say "no racism intended", that implies it was intended. What difference does it make if the lead actress is black or white. I'm currently watching Somewhere Between. It has the same suspense and thrills as the original. Somewhere Between cannot use a translated verbatim script from God's Gift - 14 days. US of America culture is completely different from South Korean. So I asked you to open your mind, follow the storyline

Where can I watch this?

Great movie.

No need to apologize for writing a great article. I wonder if some of those episodes were based on real crimes. Your article answered that question for me. Thanks.

I searched many and many nights for that cover picture. LOL.

According to historical records, both parents of the crown princess must be alive and it is very unlikely (near impossible) for a court lady to become a crown princess. Please read the Women of Joseon Dynasty. Let's keep in mind that this is a fuse period drama. It will probably break the rules for selecting a crown princess. But my opinion about Ga Eun becoming a crown princess has not change.

Thank you for your advice and I did do some historical background on Joseon Crown Princess and Court Ladies.

Now they decide to have a love triangle between the two Lee Sun and Ga Eun. As much as I disagree with a child playing an adult (KSH was 17 when she started filming. I fast forward through all scenes that show a little bit of physical sexual connection). The real Crown Prince selfish. If Ga Eun would have stayed with him as a commoner. As soon as he returns to royalty, they (noblemen, prime ministers, eunuchs, etc.) will set him up with a lady from a noble family. Ga Eun will never hold the title of the queen (based on the historical dramas I watched). She will always be the side piece. Sorry to disappoint you romantics, but Ga Eun probably end up being a side piece.

Perhaps I am being cynical about actress, Kim So Hyun, real age when they started filming this drama. She was a minor playing the love interest of a grown man. She just turned 18. As a parent and Kdrama addict, I wonder what kind of pull does her agency over this drama. I refuse to believe that there weren't other 20 something year olds that could play that part.

I would have given it a 10 if Kwang Ho was trapped in a time. He was bouncing around through time solving cold case crimes.
