Wait so this has a Season 2, the story wasn't finished in 39 eps?? Any news on when S2 would even come out? Has it already been filmed and they had to split it up because of the 40 ep max cap?? I've actively been avoiding this comments section so that I can dive into this drama spoiler-free once it finishes, but now... I'm confused lol. >.<
I can't decide whether this show will be good or not. Out of the 4 eps out, the parts I liked were great, but the parts that I disliked were eyeroll-worthy. Ughhhh I should've waited for more eps to air!!!
Here's my take on it. I enjoyed the 1st 12 episodes and then ep.13-19 was a blur because it wasn't going anywhere…
Thanks for your response in breaking down your take on the episodes! :) As for the show, 5 episodes in and I've yet to really see the layered aspects of the Crown Prince, though I don't doubt that they're there! I'm all for political palace dramas/revenge, but as you put it it's been pretty "mellow" thus far.
I felt the same way initially, but yes it does, it takes a little while to develop, but you will see growth in…
Oh I’m down for some angst —I mean this IS a historical drama after all!! Any idea as for when this drama started picking up for you?? Because I literally half watched this last Ep.
That depends on your definition of exciting,for me it's dull, nothing exciting at all.
Fair enough. I haven’t exactly “fallen” into the story just yet either. I like the flirty FL, but it feels like the plot is just trudging along. *shrugs*
So I’ve watched the first 5 eps and it’s just okay. Does the show get more exciting for those of y’all still watching? I was really looking forward to this show coming out, and I guess I’m just feeling underwhelmed…
One is female 杨阳.... One is male 杨洋... Different Chinese character same pronounce... 😅
Haha yeah, I do realize that they're two different people. (Director female, main actor male) I was just pointing out a fun coincidence... even if the individual characters that make up both Yang Yang's are different. :)
Oooooh Ji Chang Wook signed on to a historical drama?! Really cool, this show was already on my radar but the new casting announcements has just upped my interest tenfold! :)
If the July air date sticks, I wonder if they'll release a new poster as promotion for the drama. The current one feels a bit generic. *fingers crossed* I'm really looking forward to this airing soon!
It's been a while since I read the entirety of an article posted on MDL, really nicely written so kudos to you. Also, I got to learn many new things about a show I really loved! <3
