I ask this with utmost sincerity and seriousness ... what drugs are you on?
Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I think calling such a "masterpiece" drama with one of the most captivating plot in kdrama history, boring, is somewhat.. I don't know. But then again, "likeness differ".
On episode 6, and I've got to hand it to this drama for its captivating plot. I didn't know I could enjoy this as much as I enjoyed "Marry My Husband". No, I think I'm enjoying this more.
i'm so excited to watch this but how am i going to watch this with the double and follow your heart š
You're just starting "The Double"? You made the right choice. Since "Princess Royal" will begin airing tomorrow, let's say "The Double" takes you like 5/6 days, I think you can still catch up since its a 40 episode drama, don't you agree?
Its just you lol... I am kidding, there are some in the comments I saw who do. I personally don't, she was not…
Agreed. Innocent people weren't the ones who wronged her, so why must she kill innocent people to appease her anger? In my opinion, I think she's just a ruthless and cold blooded person.
They lost me in that one. It was really really unnecessary to make them die when the show is about to come to…
Yes, I love Wen Ji and Lu Ji character, they're the perfect duos. The drama had only a few minutes left before it ends, just some few minutes, so why couldn't they just win the war with Duke Su? It'd have been the perfect ending.
That's your opinion about this drama. I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I only stated mine. I believe there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
Yes, this month is indeed passing by too slowly, I feel like time traveling to July already. I watched the trailer, and wow, the trailer looks promising, looks very promising I'd say. Their chemistry would surely be firing, I saw that scene where the car exploded, rain was carrying kim ha neul in that scene. It's very similar to the scene of "K2", if I didn't know better, I'd say the same director directed both dramas. Song yoon ah and ji chang wook were also being chased by two people on a motorbike, they hacked into her car system, thus, controlling her car's speed. So, they could be free from their device control, ji chang wook had to loose them. I think rain and kim ha neul were being chased with cars and not a bike in "red swan", if I saw it correctly, that is. It'd have been nice, if we'll be getting all episodes in a day, but Disney + is just bound to torture us by releasing two episodes a week, that's just too frustrating. From my understanding, based on the trailer, I think kim ha neul's husband, hates her for being his competition and for being the foundation's chairwoman, her mother in law hates her even more cause she thinks she convents her power as she's the current charwoman of the group. I think ha neul wants to overthrow her as she's a very corrupt leader, hence, making her a threat, and as we all know how most chairwomen/chairmen deals with people they consider threats, they eliminate them. She's not only facing her mother-in-law, but the her husband's entire family. After all, in a conglomerate family, every member wants a bite, and they won't take it sitting down for a woman who became part of their family through marriage to become the chairwoman. So, its going to be a really perilous and dangerous journey for ha neul and her bodyguard, they'll be faced with many dangers. So, I don't think her marriage is going to last, even if the husband is faithful, which I highly doubt.
Yes, K2 could have been better if chang wook had ended up with song yoon ah, instead of lim yoon ah. He obviously had more chemistry with the older FL, more than he did with the younger FL. But the writer just had to make him fall in love with lim yoon ah instead. To be honest, I really can't explain how the writer made love bloom between those two, I still don't get it, it'd have been more logical if he fell for song yoon ah.
Jumong is indeed the tallest historical drama in kdrama history. Martial arts, action, romance, non fictional story, war, archery, politics, it had almost everything. I've watch many highly budget drama that turned out to be a disappoinment, but jumong was different. The billions that's used on it didn't go to waste, jumong was worth every cent. Song il kook didn't do any plastic surgery, he just looks young, he's a natural. He and han hye jin were the perfect pair. There are some actors who looks young for their age, actors like, lee joon gi. If only you're into historical/wuxia drama, Jumong would have been the perfect drama to watch.
Yes, I love wuxia/xianxia dramas, they're interesting, such dramas transport you to a whole different era. I remember how much I loved "a journey to love", its just a "masterpiece", the ML and FL chemistry was just exploding in that drama. It's my best wuxia drama of 2023. The FL is the left emissary of the scarlet guards of state of An who's is above everyone but one, while the ML is the chief of state of Wu Liudao hall. How they met and how their fate became intertwined was just interesting. Not to worry, the FL is older than the ML in real life. Who knows? You might change your mind and decide to switch to long episode drama when you finally grow tired of watching short episodes drama. Yes, I'll take your word for secret garden about how it's old but gold.
Back to the summary of "The Double". I'm not sure where I left off, but I think it must be around here, if am not wrong. After Jiang Li gets better, Xiao Heng advises her to be tough and not lose control of her own fate. He reminds her that everyone tends to take advantage of a fragile person. The two bond over a shared meal. Xiao Hengās warm nature reminds Fang Fei of her family.
Jiang Li and her companions bravely face the Li brothers on the first day of the entry examination. Whoever will come last in the examination must leave Mingyi Hall and the Imperial Academy. Fang Feiās ex-husband, Shen Yu Rong, is there to host the examination. Fang Fei gets stressed to see her killer before her eyes but soon is able to get over her fear. After the first round, Ye Shijie from Fang Feiās team gets selected for the final round. Although he successfully answers all the questions that come his way, he starts to lose at the last moment. But he quickly gets back on track. When Xue asks a political question, Ye Shi Jie answers it correctly. Li Jin and Ye Shi Jie end the round with a tie.
Li Lian is upset with Yu Rong for reprimanding his older brother in public and expresses his wish to teach him a lesson. On the other hand, Li Jin is far calmer and composed and advises his brother to leave Yu Rong alone. He reminds him that Yu Rong is backed by the eldest princess "Wanning". He even gets approval from the emperor himself. Meanwhile, Fang Feiās memories continue to haunt Shen Yu Rong. Every time he recalls her voice or her face, he goes into a state of unbearable agony. On the next day of the examination, Jiang Jingrui from Jiang Liās team faces Shen Ruyun in a go match. Shen Ruyun is Fang Feiās ex-sister-in-law who made her life a living hell with her stubborn nature and temper tantrums. After a long and intense match, Jingrui defeats Ruyun. Shen Ruyun creates a huge scene in front of everyone and passes out. She tries to convince her brother that Jiang Li bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, Fang Fei. Furthermore, she is the reason why Ruyun could not concentrate on the game. Yu Rong has had enough and slaps her. He blames her for plotting against Fang Fei when she was alive and joining hands with Wanning to kill her. Who's blaming whom? Shen Yu Rong sure knows how to appeas himself. What an hypocrite. He always says, "I have no choice", what kind of man kills his wife who shared weal and woe with him because he has no choice?
Back to the summary; During the archery competition when Liu Xu being someone that's afraid of height, she couldn't shoot correctly because of her fear. And while she's about to shoot, Li Xian shot one of Jiang Li's teamate who's among those that were holding the rope so Liu Xun won't fall. So, as one of them was shot with a hidden needle, the rope was little, Liu Xun began to fall, but her teammates quickly hold on to the rope, but she was already upside down making it hard for her to shoot the arrows. Just as she was about to give up, she remember the answer Jiang Li gave her when she asked her "why did you accept the bet when you know there's high possibility of losing? Jiang Li answered with "Its because I'm reluctant". She then focused and finally hit the all the balls. The incredible adherence of Liu Xu, helps Fang Feiās team win at the archery competition as well. Xiao Heng visits Jiang Li to check up on her injury. He advises her not to be impatient, or she will lose at the last step. He once again takes her to Jiu Yue so she can treat her.
Episode 11 shows Fang Fei charming the audience with her guqin skills.
In this episode, Jiang Ruoyao is determined to defeat Fang Fei in the examination. She practices her guqin all day long and even misses her meals, which causes her family to become extremely worried. Meanwhile, on Xiao Hengās request, Situ Jiu Yue attempts to treat Fang Feiās wound using the venom from a scorpion. But she warns her that the venom might cause her to hallucinate and ultimately result in her going completely mad. But Jiang Li puts all her trust in Situ and asks her to continue the procedure.
Fang Fei passes out as soon as the venom goes into her body. She goes back to the night her husband attempted to murder her. Her whole body starts to jerk, and she keeps blabbering. Situ and Xiao Heng hold her down to prevent her from harming herself. Xiao Heng understands that she has kept her feelings suppressed for a long time and helps her cry and let go of her trauma. After a while, he is able to calm her down. Fang Fei and her teammates arrive at the examination hall for the last round. Thanks to their unforeseeable performances in the previous rounds, everyone has started to look at their team differently. Apart from Fairy Jinghong, the top performer of Wangxian Pavilion, and Mianju, the court musician, Fang Feiās ex-husband Shen Yu Rong is present there as the examiner.
Yu Rong once again received praise from the audience for being a devoted official. A devoted official? That's just ridiculous.To Jiang Li's surprise, Xiao Heng also arrived at the examination hall and adorned the examinerās seat. As the examination commences, Jiang Ruoyao hypnotizes the audience and judges with her skills. Her musical piece transcends them to a world of enchantment and magic. The judges declare her one of the most prominent musicians of the generation.
Next, Jiang Li gets up on stage to deliver her performance. She is determined to win as she wants to make her family proud. She recalls how her father sacrificed his comfort so she could play the finest instruments. Initially, the judges criticize her musical piece, condemning her for not playing a traditional tone. But as she keeps playing, she combines folk music with mysticism, gifting her audience a divine experience like never before. Her music expresses the lament and agony of a woman. The judges are brought to tears by her performance. Not only the judges, all the audience were in tears.
All the judges except Jiang Li and Jiang Ruoyaoās teacher cast their votes in favor of Jiang Li. She didnāt expect Yu Rong to vote for her, and yet again, Yu Rong is reminded of his late wife. Fang Fei graciously wins the round. When Xiao Heng was about to cast her vote for Jiang Li, he said this, "I wish the wronged woman, punish her wrongdoers and gets her revenge sooner". Upon hearing this, Shen Yu Rong was covered in sweats due to fear and guilt.
I really hope you give this drama a try, pal, it's just so interesting!! Watching episode 37, I'm almost through with it, so it means after 3 episodes, I'll complete this "masterpiece". So, will you try it?
Yes, I just saw it in the trailer. The trailer spiked my excitement!!
That's why I love TVING more, if it's studio dragon's drama, that's being scheduled to air in July 3, I'm pretty sure, we'll be getting all episodes in a day. After all, it's a 10 episode drama, that's the time slot that's followed in the glory. All the episodes of the glory part 1 were released in a day, that goes for part 2 also. Wish studio dragon was the one airing this drama, then there'd have been a 70 percent chance of getting all episodes in a day.
From my understanding, based on the trailer, I think kim ha neul's husband, hates her for being his competition and for being the foundation's chairwoman, her mother in law hates her even more cause she thinks she convents her power as she's the current charwoman of the group. I think ha neul wants to overthrow her as she's a very corrupt leader, hence, making her a threat, and as we all know how most chairwomen/chairmen deals with people they consider threats, they eliminate them.

So, I don't think her marriage is going to last, even if the husband is faithful, which I highly doubt.
Yes, K2 could have been better if chang wook had ended up with song yoon ah, instead of lim yoon ah. He obviously had more chemistry with the older FL, more than he did with the younger FL. But the writer just had to make him fall in love with lim yoon ah instead. To be honest, I really can't explain how the writer made love bloom between those two, I still don't get it, it'd have been more logical if he fell for song yoon ah.
