You I love having conversations with you and the way you think. Because I have talk to others that are simple like "NOP I didn't like him and that is the end of it" I understand like in real life I may like someone with certain personality and you be like girl I can hang with the person. And that is the beauty of having our own each individual personalities.
I do have to accept that at least on the back hug and the bed scene I was like Team Jung he look so adorable like his walls were falling.
Little insite about me I have dated and I am with someone that is kind of like Jung and So not to those extremes. Because of his sad and bad background he doesn't show his emotions, he is like if the situation or the words I am saying don't hurt me is okay if the people around hurt, than he will back down. Maybe that is why I am incline to those characters with different personalities. I always fall for the second leads the ones that are sweeter, nicer and are always there for the lead girl. Maybe because I have dated or
I am with someone with some characteristics of those leads I say I would never date those characters because I am and have in real life and 60 percent of the time is not fun. but the other 40 percent is great. I have learn how to deal with it.

Jung and In ho and Seol reminded me so much to Edward Bella and Jacob. Where the lead girl is always in a negative attitude (well most of the time sometimes the have a bit of happy moments) with the lead. But they are free and happy with the second lead, they laugh and have a blast. In ho and Seol scene on the rain just to name one. Jacob and Bella when they went motorcycle riding. The only difference is that Bella actually had feelings for Jacob but she only accepted them at the end but she was too into deep with Edward and the idea of becoming Vampire. Seol never liked In ho that way maybe a bit intrigued but nothing beyond that.
I am happy to hear that Jung did such things, sad that he did it to the end. I read that the writer was mad with how they adapted the Drama even if she gave them free reign. Also that the lead actor was really mad because of him not being on the screen enough I wonder why he accepted being in the movie when he talk so bad about the character and drama. I wonder what happened, because like I told you Kang Joon was attack by the lead actors fans because of that. In Drama cool and Kiss Asian the comment section was filled with Jung fans. I felt like a fish out of sea liking In ho. So I don't get what they were trying to do. The lead actor is more famous internationally so that was a weird bad move. I personally liked it because for my taste Kang Joon was hotter so I get to watch him more on screen lol. but beyond that I like his care free character.

Hey is okay not to agree on things haha.
For what I understood he did have to have some kind of evaluation or when to some kind of clinic at the end. I didn't watch the last three episodes.
Where I was watching the drama I think drama cool they had pure Jung fans to the point that they were saying horrific things about the actor Kang Joon. Okay the thing where I don't get that you say he was bratty why? give an example the only thing I think that he was a bit chilidish and bratty was when he went to talk behind Jung's back. the reason he didn't want to lose his friend still bad not a very friendly thing to do. But remember what jung did he thought In ho told on them and he let other beat him up. In Ho never told the lead girl he liked her until the ending, he never said what happened to his hand he could of said to say bad thing about Jung to his GF. He was helpful and help her in a way a normal guy would do. like with the stalker he try to beat him up as for Jung his action even do he try to do things for good he always went over board. I understand In ha she was money hungry even used his brother to get things she wanted, but even In ho put a stop on asking the dad for money.
And I get what you saying about psychological problems but that was known until the end. I couldn't like his actions because that wasn't known. If you remember right his two reason that he told his GF were the thing In ho did and the adoption thing. When his dad asked him you want me to adopt them he said he didn't care or mind. Inho and inha weren't at fault what the dad said on a phone call he was using the kids to give his sons friends and Jung was listening. That was the dads pure fault.
Maybe you understand about physiological problems more than me. but If I had know at the beginning maybe it would of been a different story and I would of understand him a bit better but for me it was to late to like his character. He didn't change at all that I saw she asked him not to do things the way he did it going over board and he still did it behind her back and the only person I think he really liked was the lead girl.
I didn't know Kang joon before that drama or the other lead so I wasn't bias.

Now I get you and why you liked So character more. I sometimes think is just because girls are his hardcore fans (LJK) but I see you are different. Don't get me wrong I love his acting a lot. But for me is that he didn't have any excuse to be mean. I understand he was kick out for something he didn't even do. But you have the choice to do bad or good. And is like dude don't use your past to do bad. For me that is not an excuse you know? The same thing happened to me in Cheese in the Trap with the lead character. Everyone said is because you don't understand him. What do I have to understand? That he is doing bad things using his past experiences with friends. I had big second lead on that drama. Because for me if the second lead or other characters had done what the lead did that would of make him the villain.
So is changing and I see that in him. Now he is not thinking with rage or revenge when he does things. I understand the poor guy needs love. I hope I don't dislike him again when he goes bad. The same thing with Wook I was so disappointed when I watched the long preview of the next episode.
I think all that has happened good or bad is because of Soo, Wook is turning evil because of the things she put in his head about So. So is turning into a better person too because of her. And viewers are only looking for reason to hate Wook more because he is the other side of the love triangle and he was Soo's first love in that era. So they don't like that he was against So. Like I said they don't see beyond their fanatisim for LJK.
I would of loved that they would of added all the things I know from the novel. I got to know more about the other princes. She got to hang more with 10th 14th 13th on the book even goes back riding with 13th prince. she actually gets to hang out with him more in the novel to the point that the 8th was jealous. And in the Korean drama he just accept her because they drank one night and she said to him to do what he felt like. and in the novel 4th prince as married and had kids so if they had added that to the Korean drama I think LJk fans wouldn't of like that about his character so of course because of fan service they didn't add that part of the novel. I think they only pick things that made him look good from the novel and for all the characters too.
In the novel I actually like between 8th and 4th I like the 4th a bit more.
The lead girl on the novel was fearless and she didn't think before doing things she just went for it. I think the only person she respected was the King and it was out of fear. She knew a lot of the history because Ironically she had watch historical dramas on her modern life and also remember things from school.
I can keep going but the novel is so cool and different. Novels are always better than adaptations because you get so see what is inside their heads. You can't always add everything because of the time in movies and dramas.

he is a great actor I loved all his previous dramas.
Im glad you are that kind of a fan they aren't that many.

I think when you already are incline to an actor before the drama start you will dislike the other side of the love triangle without thinking it is program in your brain. Example: I love Eric Mun and I disliked the other actor (didn't like him physically or his acting) I read a description of a drama that attracted me so much but both of them were starting on it and both where on a the love triangle. I said nop I wont watch it because I will be incline to Eric and will hate it if he doesn't end up with the girl.
Man if I tell you if I watch it or not it would be a spoiler hahah.
I think because he loved another girl besides wife is a reason too. We all see that wrong. But like I said in my previews comment he had a reason and it was deeper.
They didn't show it but in the novel they explain it. The wife was in love with another man before they got married. The dad wanted her to marry Wook, because Wook had seen her riding a horse and thought she was beautiful and graceful so he went to ask for her hand and of course who would say no to her daughter marring a prince specially back then when it was all about who has more or your last name. So the dad sent people to kill her boyfriend who was a soldier. She ended up marrying Wook but on the day of their wedding he lift the veil and didn't saw the same woman full of life and love. He found out what had happened so little by little he stop loving her and she start loving him.
I know is not the same drama or is not all the same as the novel but if it wasn't connected they wouldn't of shown her on the horse, back then not a lot of women knew how to ride horses her boyfriend had shown her that. And they show the clip in SHR of Wooks wife riding the horse so I guess they did it for those who know the story, if you don't know it would just pass by as her riding a horse. So for me him loving Soo wasn't as bad, he explain to her in the Novel what had happened. In the novel the bracelet wasn't given that way that bracelet was for his wife and he gave it to Soo it was destined for the one he loved,(he said he went to many places to look for that kind of green rock because he wanted to give it to his wife on their wedding day) so Soo said than this is not for me but my sister. He explains about the boyfriend and the day of the wedding and he said I said it was for the woman I love don't take it off. Soo in the novel didn't accept it him right away, but the wife didn't die right away either.

Is so sad seeing how people are attacking the artist because of the characters they are playing.
The fans of JLK keep only seeing the "good" in his character when he was an arrogant guy with a dark heart and they are attacking the artist who may do something "bad" to his character. I love JLK but didn't like his character at the beginning and I am the kind of fan who will accept that I didn't like his character at the beginning but his character is starting to grow on me. (and read it right I said his character his character is not him as a person)
The same with Ha Nuel Loved his character, They keep judging his character because he feel in love with Soo but most fans don't know the back story of His relationship and Marriage with his wife. If you saw the episode where he remember the first time he saw her in a horse there's a back story there. (If your interested let me know I will write it under with spoiler cover thingy). Now let me say it I loved his character he was the first to care and love her but now I saw a side I didn't like of him I was so disappointed. When you go beyond just liking a actor because of how he looks but really loving what character he is playing and loving the drama that is the way you see things you grow with the characters you will love and hate them, you will hate his flaws and love his good characteristics. You will dislike the bad things he does and love the good deeds. But not just say look he just called her stupid aww he is so romantic, Oh he almost raped her I wish I was her just because you love the actor. I think actors play characters beyond wanting fans to like his acting because of his looks, and I am not saying his acting is not good. I love his acting. But when you see 90 percent of the comments saying you saw his jawline, omg his body, omg I am drooling that is not appreciating his acting. They want us to react to his character why do you thing some go to act as villains because they want to show us a different side of their acting, they don't go on reading the scripts to say Oh I want them to think I look fine and hot they say wow this will surely get a reaction out of them, will they hate my character or love it.
And analyze my comment before going to attack me.

Okay I understood what you are try to say.

I couldn't agree with you more but I didn't watch the CV but read most of the novel. I think that was my wrong doing as I did watch at least 8 episodes of SHR before reading now it doesn't compare with the excitement the novel brought to me. and I know I know is not the same with it being a Korean Historical and not Chinese. But so true that the fan service is so noticeable specially with the 4th prince (LJk) which I love his acting by the way.

For sure! I will surely be looking for your reviews or comments.

Thank you! I will give it a try.

I think so too, I love having this kind of discussion where even do we may not see eye to eye we respect each other opinion with out getting aggressive or offensive.
me and @rainruma kind of had a bit of discussion but In end we said you know what I think we didn't understand each other or got confused about what we wrote. I really appreciate the action of saying that of her/his part. Sorry I don't know if you are female or male @rainruma lol
but Yes is nice having this type of discussion when the flow is easy and peaceful. Thanks to the both of you.

I understand but I think if is a person who do it constantly I understand to report it but ones start here without knowing and least be truthful not a lot read the rules. I used to do it but than they started to remind me. I think is too much to report someone when maybe they didn't know (because in reality we don't know if they know) Sometimes I still forget than I go back and read it and say oh boy it has a big a spoiler and edit it add the spoiler. Maybe I am too nice hahaha.

Why do they do this too me I don't like the two leads but just came here to see what new drama was out and I see Lee Joon who I love as an actor in the cast. I am I going to have to watch this because I love him.

oh and I don't know her or ever talk to her just in case someone may think I am just jumping in because I know her lol

cool but she did already mark it as a spoiler.
I don't think she did it as a bad deed. That is why I commented.

You are welcome! =)

The problem when you read the novel is you aren't going to like what everything they do with it after, like a movie or play. The way they explain or play the story cant be the same with the time that a drama has unless they have lots of episodes. Which directors and writers have to be so smart on how to write or direct each thing happening in the novel or it can get boring.
Rarely do I like a live action of a book I have read. We don't get to see inside the mind of the main lead girl or guy as we do in a novel. Yes theres expressions but depending how good of the actor and actress is we will get what we read in a book. Sorry but not a lot of actors can really portray that. In a Novel we are in it we are living it.
I think with the actors of SHR is not their fault but the director. I think IU is more how they are directing her into doing her acting she is trying to portray the innocent side of the lead girl. I think Lee Joon Ki is perfect for being the 4th prince I seen a lot of his movies and he is great for that type of character.
@rainruma knows how I have change my opinion of SHR after reading the novel. I don't even think the Chinese Version can compare but is more closer to the novel.
I respect everyone's opinion and their likes. I am just here to give my humble opinion.
To say the truth I am not as excited to watch SHR after reading the novel I feel like I am missing so much. I will give it a try on Monday to see how I am feeling after reading the novel and I haven't even read the whole novel.

@Rainruma tell me what you think after reading the novel. Are you having the chance to read the whole novel with eng subs or the only one I seen that has a few chapters? If you have the whole eng sub version can you share with me? I have read what I think is a bit less than half.

@Raincat I hope you have the opportunity to read the novel.

Remember Hae Soo learned how to write and read for one reason only because she couldn't read Wook's poems and wanted to write back. Not to survive or something smart or clever. She is learning to behave? hmm she does get introuble a lot because of that. The name and information about herbs and remedies she knew already. At the town she named most of them with Wook. And remember the remedy he used on the older brother for his rash was because her mother had it. The only thing I think she did learn that we saw was the teas and the lanterns/decorations. Oh and the glue hahaha.
And Yes she is impulsive.

I didn't read the whole novel I am getting there I didn't watch the Chinese version only watched the last three episodes. But Ruoxi as I read on the novel she was more impulsive. She went on rides with the 13th prince when her sister clearly told her many times that was not the way to act that they could take it the wrong way but her being from modern times she didn't want to be controlled. She said things that shouldn't be said, which the 8th prince chocked her for. She didn't have respect for the princes which show how impulsive she was. Even with the 4th prince son she told him why should I respect you Im older but I am going to be noble or something like that. Well you aren't one yet so when you are I will show my respect. If she was really submissive she would of done just what the kid told her to do. She gets in a fight fist fight with the 8th prince sister.
The only person I can think about that she was submissive with was the King.

That I know of the Chinese Version is closer to the Novel than SHR.

I love her and her acting. I even play with my hubby and tell him she is his girlfriend I like her that much I am willing to share hahaha Jk.
But sadly we can't make others like her. She is one of the richest Korean celebrities, she started young, she did commercial, albums, dramas, she is a Tv presenter, singer,actress, writer, composer. She is really talented. I hope she has a thick skin and ignores all those bad comments about her.

but she never said nothing about him killing his brothers he said why are they making him the killer.
