Melodramatica

@some random cool nuna I couldn't agree more with your comment. In this setting, it makes perfect sense. I've seen almost every historical drama have a middle-aged councilman or whatever have a mistress or concubine half their age. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Age gaps were even more common a century or more ago. Age is just a number.

I agree it's pretty irrelevant. They're both adults so nobody cares, except the OP for some odd reason.

I think it could easily top out at 9.0 or 9.2, surpassing Mr. Sunshine at 8.9
On IMDB, both have a 8.7 rating. I gave it a 9.5. Only thing that sucks is waiting a week lol

I edited the comment. I'd forgotten that they haven't seen eps 3 and 4. My bad.

I think so and I hope so. I like them also, and I'm curious to see how their relationship develops further, and how it turns out.

When I saw the dream sequence unfold in episode 1, I knew this was going to be a great show. This writer and director make one hell of a team. Very impressed, so far.

It'll probably get subbed soon, or there will be other reaction vids that come out. I'll keep an eye out for when it gets subbed and send it to you.

I'm anticipating some incredible OST's later on once the series is over, or near it's end.

Cool video of some of the cast members reaction to scenes of the first couple episodes. I don't know what they're saying since there's no Eng subs; but I found it interesting.

Thanks for looking that up. Good to know. Regardless of how it ends, I'll always remember the first time they met and how they are falling in love. We'll see how it goes. :)

Yeah, I was hooked as soon as I saw the dream sequence. The camera angles, lighting and music are awesome too.

You're right. Her instincts went into God-mode overnight lol. I'd forgotten about the covering up of the tracks they had made, and the knife she was given -- so many details, it's crazy. That will be what makes this series worth re-watching a few times, maybe more. It should win several awards if it continues to be this good.

He definitely has some sort of military background and a sense of military tactics. Like when he would know how to listen for horses in the distance, and the surprise ambush at night. Setting a fire at the top of the mountain and so on. He seemed to be well respected in the other village he was visiting earlier in the show. I can't recall which eps or what village it was.

Yep. It's about time this site had some positivity. The sky's the limit for this show. I hope it continues to shine.

Well said. If it continues to shine, it'll be my all-time favorite. I loved the Princess' Man too.

I agree. Never go back to put a lid on something lol. I knew that was an omen.

I'm going to binge the hell out of it the 2nd time around - later this year. I'd be shocked if it doesn't win some awards whenever they have them.

I think he just knows the only way to defeat a better trained invader is thru guerilla tactics after the initial invasion. But, once the old couple were found in the snow, he got triggered to enter the fight without regard to the King's situation. I know that might not relate to your comment / question; but your comment got me thinking, so I figured I'd respond lol. Loving the show so far!

Yeah the back-hug with tears was a significant moment. She's nailed it so far with her expressions in this role. The little details of this show, and music placement set it apart from other's imo.

The back-hug dream scene and the one where he slayed the invader and blood was in his right eye were two scenes I remember vividly. There were other great scenes also, especially when she confessed her feelings without realizing it lol

I'd say it'll end up on there eventually like some have -- just in time for me to re-watch for the 3rd or 4th time LOL
