We need season 2. It can't end like that. And to be clear: it's a "what happens next" ending not an ending I didn't like. Damn I'm addicted to this show.
Can someone explain how he cleared his name? I understand his brother replaced him and then was released (fake released by people plotting against Xiao Tian?) but I still don't understand how he cleared his name.
A lot of strong opinions. I like the show. It's not blowing me away but I'm not on the edge of dropping it either. I'm curious to see how it all plays out and ends.
I wish the prime minister had more scenes. Definitely the most under-utilized character.
I definitely want a more front and center role that goes beyond jealousy. They keep hinting at it and she's taking out the occasional politician/woman standing in her way. Hopefully she figures out what is going on and creates a third dynamic beyond the King and his nemesis (uncle? Cousin? The guy who murdered his father anyways).
It's definitely very different from most Korean TV shows but I thought it got a little too ridiculous and farfetched. The acting and visual effects is top notch.
Lee Min Ho is a bit of a monotone. I think Kim Go Eun is a bit overrated at acting as well personally. She's got that 'every girl' look and I think that helped her get Goblin and then the popularity of Goblin carried her to this and she's still not that good especially arround romance.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's ugly or even plain - she's extremely pretty - but as a guy she's got the look of someone you could have known growing up and not movie superstar looks like Son Ye-Jin or Kim So-Hyun or Suzy.
I enjoyed this week personally because more characters are starting to figure things out and we're getting an idea of what's going on.
This is far from a masterpiece but I'm a sucker for alternate reality stuff.
Idk, for what I've read seems to be an unpopular opinion but I think 6th episode was worse than the 3 previous…
Yeah the FX for that battleship was pretty bad. Like early 2000s American TV bad. I get they probably had budget and time constraints but if that was the case they shouldn't have put them on the ship to begin with. It felt really, really small first of all and there was obvious "fakeness" that was completely CGI rendered.
I agree the story isn't the strongest and it feels disconnected but I just love alternate reality stuff so I'll keep watching. This is nowhere near as good as Man In The High Castle, I just hope it doesn't end on a whimper like that show did.
Also Jung Eun Chae looks beautiful with the hair and outfits. I mean wow.
I feel like they dragged on way too long with her pretending to be a man. The summary is reasonably good at setting up the show but the show itself doesn't have much of this intrigue and plotting behind it.
If you like the two leads and their moments... keep going. If you're expecting a greater story, you're not going to find it.
Also I don't really get the people down below bashing her looks. If I had to pick one word to describe the actress... it would be "cute".
We're really at a place where some people honestly believe they can successfully sue over cliches and common plot aspects? OK a poor family lies about who they are and works for a rich family. I doubt that Tamil film was the first to do it.
I'm in and so far I'm a little disappointed that Mingyue doesn't have a little more ability in fighting/horse-riding and stuff. She grew up as a wild-child and the first episode had her in a chase but they completely abandoned that. She doesn't have to be supergirl or anything but it would have been nice if they showed her as competent again because I feel like she comes across as a little whiny. She's got a spoiled princess personality instead of someone struggling to adjust to life as a princess after being given lots of freedom in her home country.
Overall I've been enjoying it but I'm a big fan of period TV shows set in ancient times and I'll watch nearly anything so maybe I'm not the best judge of what is good and bad in this genre.
Just watched Adventurous Romance on the app it seems to be machine translated.
That's too bad. Hopefully it works reasonably well and maybe if the App gets some success they'll get some professional translators in there - maybe not for an entire series but enough to clean up the machine translation subtitles where it is needed.

But yeah it's easy to spot all the "traveled back in time" themes have been replaced with "trapped in a video game"
