As I was reading through the comments, I chanced upon your comment stating how excited you're and how you can't wait to binge the drama. I also can't wait for July 3 to come, infact, I think this month is ending too slowly, I want to reach July much faster. I'm getting "K2" vibes from "the red swan", but in a different way I guess. Red swan is having a tag of romance, and the romance will be between a top class woman, also a CEO I presume, and her bodyguard who's very skilled in martial arts. Not like "K2" where ji chang wook character fell for lim yoon ah, instead of his boss who loved him so.
I'm going to be really disappointed in "red swan", if it goes against what's written in the synopsis, but I doubt that. I don't care whether the husband is a cheater or not, as long as our main leads end up together, I'll be satisfied. I read the article about how rain highlighted he did most of the action scenes himself. I'm pretty sure the chemistry will be firing here as kim ha neul always has firing chemistry when paired with actor, especially when the actor is younger. I could remember how I loved the chemistry of her and lee do hyun. But as for the older ML, I didn't find their chemistry firing, not even one bit. About your question on the trailer, I haven't watch it yet, but will immediately, I send this reply, since you're describing it so, the trailer must be fun and interesting to behold.
Yes, I love wuxia genre when it comes to historical drama, and jumong had that. Being the first historical kdrama I watched, I loved it as the actions were excellently filmed, and being a 2006 drama, the cinematography was excellent, the quality also. It's initially a 60 episode drama, but as it gained worldwide success and popularity, it's changed to 81 episodes. I remember the first 60 episodes was filmed for more than a year, and the additional 21 took over six months I guess. Song il kook really was great in that drama, han hye jin also did great in her, every actor performed their respective roles excellently. I couldn't find any flaw with the drama. Back to your question about how she looks the same age as the FL, even when there's ten years age gap. He indeed looks as young as the FL, I couldn't believe it at first when I found out about his real age, he's in his 30s and the FL was in her 20s during that time, but they looked the same age. Yes, jumong is indeed one of the greatest hero in Korean history, his achievements were so great. You could tell how interesting the drama is from the ratings itself. There isn't any drama that has 81 episodes plus, the duration is beyond an hour, but it still has such high ratings as 8.4. No drama has achieved that on MDL in the past decade. Jumong is the only 81 episode drama that has the ratings of 8.4, it proves how viewers are satisfied with the show.
You know what pal? About goblin issue, I think I'm going to put behind the idea of rewatching it, cause I also think there's nothing special for me to notice that'll make me start from where I left off. I think, I'll take your idea of finding a more interesting drama, I don't mind if it's a kdrama or cdrama, as long as the plot is captivating enough and the FL is not a weak one, I'm in. Of course, I don't want to be a betrayer of noona romance genre, but I don't just watch noona drama, I'm also into wuxia/xianxia genre, as long as the ML doesn't look his age, I'm in, but I still prefer it when the ML is younger than the FL in real life. If you check my profile, you'll see that most of my highly rated watched dramas, the FL is often older than the ML. I think goblin is too overrated, I also don't like ahjussi romance, such dramas are not too interesting, they're more draggy instead, but I think oppa romance is acceptable as long as the ML doesn't look his age. But as for goblin? It's an ahjussi romance.
I'll definitely tell you if I find hagwon recent episodes as captivating as the previous 8 episodes I watched. By the way pal, should I continue summarizing "The Double"? Are you interested in watching? After all, its a drama you'll like since the FL is older than the ML by more than 11 years age gap, plus, the plot is captivating. So, will you be giving it a try? I plan to give secret garden a try soon, I want to watch it first before I watch sam soon.
Not yet, same question people have been asking. I also asked about it, not too long ago.
Yes, I've watched LLTG and Mr Queen. But I haven't watch the uncanny encounter and Knight Flower. I also laughed a lot while I was watching Mr Queen. I could remember I almost had chest pain from laughing too much.
Are the ML and FL in strange tales of tang dynasty actors that are familiar?
Not yet, same question people have been asking. I also asked about it, not too long ago.
The ending was not just a happy but very detailed. Most Cdramas, especially historical ones, have sad endings, but "story of kunning palace" was different. Wish the double also has a happy ending. I think all the episodes have been released already.
I'd recommend "a journey to love", the FL is intelligent, ruthless, and above all she's a badass one, she also used to be the left emissary of the scarlet guards (an assassin organization).
Not yet, same question people have been asking. I also asked about it, not too long ago.
I mentioned it in the previous comment that I've watched "story of kunning palace" already. I watched it last year November, during the time it aired. You should really try "Marry My Husband" like you suggested, it's an interesting drama, I remember I gave it a 9. I also don't like; Naive, too nice, and less intelligent FL. I'm more into, intelligent, scheming, cunning, badass, and cold female leads. We are quite similar when it comes to that.
I haven't try "story of yanxi palace" yet due to its long episodes. In "story of kunning palace", the ML "Xie Wei" is a lot more ruthless when compared to Xiao Heng.
You should try "story of kunning palace", it's more than interesting. The plot is both unique and captivating, I remembered I enjoyed it as much as I'm enjoying "The Double" now. Such an interesting drama as "story of kunning palace" shouldn't be missed. It has almost everything, it's quite similar to "The Double". The double ML is the SML in that drama.
When I started watching kdrama, I started with a masterpiece historical drama "Jumong". It's my first kdrama and it also became my best historical kdrama of all time. I think I watched it 12 or 13 years ago? Anyway, it has 82 episodes, very long right? Yes, its a long episode drama, but each episode was worth my time. I could remember back then I was watching, I didn't skip a single scene even though the episodes were that long. Jumong is about how king jumong founded the greatest nation in the history of Korea "Gorguryeo dynasty". He founded it by fighting and winning countless battles and wars. Also, the FL is one of the key person who made the founding of goguryeo possible. So Seo No, the woman jumong loves. Side by side they overcame many obstacles and founded gorguryeo dynasty. Sure, the ML "song il kook" is older than the FL "han hye jin" in real life, but they're the same age in the drama. Even though there's close to 10 years age gap between them in real life, song il kook didn't look his age one bit, and if I didn't know better, I'd think they're the same age in real life. Up untill now, to be considered a real saeguk fan "historical kdrama fan", that person has to watch jumong to be considered one. After all, it's a non fictional story that captivated many.
As for coffee prince and big, I could remember it took me 3 days to barely complete the three episodes I watched before dropping it. While I was watching both, I always dosed off as I was few minutes in, with time, I decided not to continue with such boring dramas. As for goblin, am planning to rewatch it from where I left off because who knows? I might noticed what MDL users love so about that drama.
Back to my summary about "The Double" I'll pick it up from where I left off. Jiang Li's wrist was injured when her evil husband tied her in chains, and later buried her. Hence, she couldn't play the qin as vigorously as she used to. Jiang Li tried time and again to play vigorously as she used to by pushing herself to the limit, but still couldn't. So, when she accompanied Liu Xun to practice her archery, coincidentally, I wouldn't call it a coincidence really. So, Duke Su was at the drilling ground, and he noticed the injured wrist of Jiang Li, so, he asked her to come to his residence during the night if she wants to get her wrist treated. Jiang Li didn't want to accept his help, so, she tried to play again, but her wrist just wouldn't let her. After the failure, she decided to accept Duke Su's help in treating her wrist and went to his residence the next day, Duke Su was mad she didn't show up at last night, so he made her wait a while before letting her inside his residence. You could call it a tantrum, he asked his friend that was skilled in both medicine and poison to treat her wrists.
Furthermore, his friend "Situ Jiuyue warned her about the risks as she would have to use poison to treat her wrist. And thus, fighting fire with much bigger fire, but she said she could take the pain. So, she began the treatment, the first round was very painful but bearable, but the second method wasn't. Before using the poison, Jiuyue warned her that the poison would make her hallucinate, making her relive her most painful moments, but Jiang Li said she's not afraid. When the second treatment began, Jiuyue poisoned her, so she started hallucinating those moments, to endure the pain she resorted to bitting her lips, but Duke Su hold her, and gave her his hands to bite instead. Caring, right? After the painful treatment, she's cured, but passed out in Duke Su residence due to too mich pain. She spent the night at his residence. After that, her wrist was cured. Will continue in the next reply.
I'm 4 episodes behind in hagwon, and to answer your question about whether I still find it captivating as I wrote in my review. The answer is, yes, not sure about the 4 I haven't watch though, my answer could change after watching those 4 episodes, depending on how it turns out. But for now it's still captivating as per episode 8 I watched last before leaving it to watch "The Double". Yes I'm indeed immersed in "The Double", such that I didn't have the time to watch hagwon, will after I complete "The Double". By the way pal, I saw your comments in red swan section, are you planning to watch it when it airs in July? If so, then that means we'll have another drama to talk about yet again.

I don't quite agree with that. Anyway, the conclusion is that no matter who's casted it wouldn't make a difference because the plot was never interesting in the first place.

I haven't try "story of yanxi palace" yet due to its long episodes. In "story of kunning palace", the ML "Xie Wei" is a lot more ruthless when compared to Xiao Heng.
Such an interesting drama as "story of kunning palace" shouldn't be missed.
