Does the inner monologue /no subtitles happen a lot, or is it specific to that one scene with the letter? I haven't started it, but it's a high priority when it finishes.

What a sweet List. "Those ones I “adopt” as my internet children." My 'adopteds' are my grandchildren. When I watch them it feels like watching my own who've come for a visit. Like you, I don't stan anyne, and don't get the hots for any actor/actress.

Like most offspring. Most families use a shortened form of a child's name or call them a nickname, or at least they do where I'm from. When I read Lomon, I picture his face.

It does. His birth name is Solomon Park. Like most, he probably uses the shortened version his family called him from childhood on So.....LOMON.

Like all actors and actresses, there's a profile page for each one of them. If you click on the blue Lomon in the first sentence it'll take you to his profile page and you can read why he uses the name LOMON.

I'm on Ep 29 after repeatedly stopping and starting. Your review is very apt. I'm pushing through to the finish, but it sure is frustrating with so much wrong with this besides the lack of history. Having at least 5 other tabs open to the historical facts of the King, and every other character, the battles, etc hasn't added to my enjoyment at all. Historical fiction, emphasis on fiction, should have a separate Genre/Tag, to differentiate them from a great historical sageuk. Maybe Historical Clothing.

Upon reflection, I realize I don't care enough about this actor (CEW) to have commented at all. Nor about KHN or any others. Writing, direction, cinematography, editing, and how well characters are portrayed should be the only things, taken as a whole, that drive a drama or a movie's success, or enjoyment by viewers. It is for me, but sadly not for so many others and the industry is giving what is demanded.

So Users don't have to hunt it down, thank you, krela, for the info that he indeed had a support role in The Iron Empress (2009) as King Hyeon Jong. Users do their homework better than the writers of the articles. Then again, we don't just copy/paste from other news sources either.

Our resident hater User account who has been blocked by so many is this account's 'friend'. Probably one in the same.

I'm scrolling for a friend's comment and stopped long enough to say, once an actor has commited a crime, whether morally or legally, or has been convicted of such, then it's hard to separate the actor from the character.

Someone suggested his profile be deleted. No. I need all of the vile pos to stay so I can place their dramas and movies (and anything new) under my Not Interested list with Why in the Note section. Casting is the first thing I scroll through when deciding to watch or not.

For past dramas, before learning of their misdeeds, I have nothing to say if I watched them, but after is another story and I do NOT justify watching anything they're in.

Will be interesting to find out how Ryu 'raised' Hornclaw as she has been in an organization that eliminated human trash for over 40 years. I hope 2025 will continue to be the year that elder females dominate in dramas.

Please be on an OTT I have access to, please.

I saw this in Feeds and was interested. I've like a few reality shows in the past but they didn't hold my interest. With you saying "relaxing" I'm in.

Historical fiction, and fantasy. This isn't considered a true historical sageuk by diehard sageuk fans, It's set within a historical location with them wearing historical clothes while adding a historical King's name to appear as a sageuk. It might as well be set in modern surroundings. Yes, most sageuk fans miss a really good true historically based sageuk.

PLEASE use the Spoiler tag. Not everyone has watched TAON. If it's a fact in the drama, it's a spoiler. If you're watching and speculating about what's going to happen, it isn't. Please don't be a THIEF. Yes, you are stealing others enjoyment when you comment what is happening when they haven't seen yet.

It's better to Report, especially after other Users have asked kindly for that User to use the Spoiler tag. Reporting does work, and if it's noticed & reported on other drama profile pages then the User will be Blocked from using MDL. I'd rather see the comments deleted. If someone blocks the User, the comments can still be read by others who are thinking about watching. REPORT REPORT REPORT.

Karma comes around for the good deeds also. Karma's only seen as a b**** when one has done wrong.

You reminded me of my niece when she was 18 yo. The whole family was gathered at my sis's for Thanksgiving, and at the time my niece was going on & on about how old my sis was. Everyone looked at her like she'd lost her mind and told her "Old? Your mama is only 35. Apologize to your mother." Niece didn't, until she was the same age.

There was many familiar faces in FMD. I'd like to know who had the role of the youngest half brother, the little boy.

"everywhere you go" exaggerating is so sad. I didn't watch bc I don't subscribe to Prime, and never will. How is having an opinion about the lack in acting skills hating? Or is just HAVING an opinion which differs from yours hating?

Some actors are born with the talent and others aren't so they have to hone their skill, which isn't honed unless they're willing to learn. If they have it's evident in their next role. If they haven't, it's apparent.

If the young man who has 17 roles under his belt improves greatly over the next 2 or 3 years my opinion will change. One role in one drama (Island) wouldn't convince me. It'd have to be consistent. So far, he hasn't shown me that he has. Let's be real here, he's cast to draw the younger more appearance oriented viewers in for profits. With this cast they needed someone so the younger viewers would be interested. Do you watch based on an actor's looks or do you watch based on an actor's portrayal of their character?

ps. If this is on an OTT where I can see it, and if he's improved I'll say so in a comment. I have no problem with giving more appreciations when it's due, and rarely a criticism when it's warranted.
