I recently convinced myself that i was missing out on historical dramas(I have dreaded them for years) but KDRAMA has sold me and am hooked.Lee JunHo brought me to Red Sleeve and OMG this was good that i almost watched it in one seating but had to break it to avoid looking like i have no life.
I was originally not planning to say anything,this is one of those drama that stick in your brain weeks after you finish them but i need to get it out of my system,let me leave it here.
1.The cinematography,the OST,the still picture and everything Jeoson palaces were on point.
2.The acting was out of this world,few actors can pull of a heavy drama full of all types of emotions but everyone in the entire cast pulled off Oscar worth acting.
3.I have no words for Lee Junho portraying Prince Yi San/ King JeongJo,I dont think there is any language that can discribe this man's acting so i recommend to go and watch.
Overall this was one of the best historical drama of 2021 and now i know why,It has left me with a very heavy feeling and made me want to understand more about this era in the Korean history.I will not talk about the FL wanting to drive all of us crazy but she was portraying a real historical figure so we pumped our hate breaks whenever.
Many people warned us future views not to trade in the waters of Ep 17 but we are too curious for that and curiosity killed a cat so you can imaine how dead i am now,but I will not spoil it for anyone. i have learnt my lessons, before embarking into the territory of an historical drama that is real story of real people, I should probably read the story first and see if there is and sad ending

If you are going to watch an historical drama and you are asking this question at ep 2,then maybe watch something else,I just finished and let me tell you am tired from how intense it is

TOO MANY ANGRY FANS so let me be the painkiller in the room:

I have always had Hierarchy on my watch list but edited it out after reading countless bad reviews,so the other day I started trcking Kim Jae Won(Mr eye candy) after seing him in King the Land and Hierarchy is one of his recent and most famous drama and it was only 7 episodes so i knew i would watch it in one seating.Due to bad reviews,I went in this with lowest expectatioons and only to pass time before continuing with Red Sleeve.So i will make this simple and easy to read
THE PROS:
1.The cinematography was good, shot in high quality picture and the set was meticulous
2.The rich was very rich,if you want to see excessive wealth on display and many Heremes boxes,this is the show for you
3.The two MLs are beautiful men,I dont know who cast them but give this casting director their flowers,to be honest I loved their acting and knowing how young they are in real life,I think they did a pretty good job and yes I need men who can cry a river and bring out serious emotions weither its love or lockeroom fights,the rest of the casts was ok
4.The wordrobe was expensive and really good pieces especially for the men.This goes for them houses,cars and everything expensive
5.The fact that that it was short,they wrapped up things quick,i didnt have to seat and watch the FL being a tree for 16 episodes.
Overall if you enjoyed Penthouse,The Glory and Sky castle,add this to the list but dont expect a strong storyline just enjoy rich people doing rich people things.

ok i will check it out, i have seen it mentioned a lot

I recently entered into the world of historical kdramas and this was my 2nd one after i was traumatized by the 43 episodes of Love in flames of war(cdrama) i need something funny and i wanted tolaugh hard it hurts,few reels on tiktok brought me this master piece.From the first scene to the last,it was laughter, the FL carried the whole thing and she was quick,witty and had the funniest personality,I dont know much about kdrama actresses but am sure they chose her for a reason and she did what she was paid to and added icing sugar on top.The ML was also outstanding even the SML, the blend of these 3 gave us an amazing project
10/10 I would recomend for people who dont take things too serious.

I need recomandation of historical drama with romance and ones with happy endings which is rare in historical dramas,everyone ends up dead

did we watch the same drama? the was no chemistry between the lead, it was one side, the FL was horrible

*Gu Dong Mae

I never knew that there will ever be a serie that will be stuck in my head like Crush Landing on you which has lived in my bain rent free for 5 years,uNtil 2 days ago Mr sunshine algorithimically fell in my recommendations.I had to pose whatever else i was watchving, cos i wanted to watch one episode so that i can leave it in the cont watching folder but boy oh boy,i didnt blink for 24 episodes,or skip any scene except the ones where Go Dong MAe was slottering people,the visual was waaaay too strong for me.
my only negative review i will give this is how nobody warn me about the ending?No one wrote this and it leaft me with anger againtst alll the reviers and the commentators.
THis drama is unforgettable and its about to be my new roman empire..

I just finished it last night and let me tell you, it will be stuck in your head from the moment the flag goes up

For awhile I have had this drama at the back of my mind,cos am a sucker for hometown trope and this one didnt dissapoint, the backdrop or the setting was as expected.Overall it was okay and theser are my issues,An FL who is on the cloud, for at least 5 episodes she was crashing with her neighbors, she brought her city mentatilty into the small town,it took awhile for her to stop complaining about the french wine and high end restaurants missing.My 2nd issue is lack of romance, I dont know if this was done on puprose but the ML had zero chemitry with the FL, even them being enemies to lovers first.THe ML was more connected to his neighbors than his love interest.I was hopping after he has dealt with his trauma, maybe there would be little romance toward the FL who really was trying to be cute and loving but it left me high and dry.MAy be i shouldnt have watched the chinese drama 'Falling into you" which was fire in the romance department

I agree with this review, what kept me going in this drama was the setting or the backdrop, i like hometown drama and the weather is always nice but to be honest there wa zero chemistry between the main leads even when the FL tried to be cute and lovey dovey, the ML looked like he never had romance classes in acting school or it was his first time.If a man cant hug a woman properly, I have a problem with that.I was hoping after he has gottten breakthrough from his past, he would shower the FL with love but the dude was more inlove with his village neighbors lol

I rarely give any drama 5 star but this to the crown..
Wang Anyu is on my top Chinese actors and after watching 3 of his series,and then this one,he moved to No 2 slot..the guy can act and he was born to be on camera Ms Gina Jin who is also a seasoned actress did a fantastic job,and the roles of older woman and storing character fits her..
How about the OST..ohh my especially the English songs..the best in all
Overall I watched 26 episodes without skipping a second..this means every moment was enjoyable and the story well told..

This is my first Republic Era Drama So where is Ep 37,38,39,40?
How can this be only 36 episodes only
Best ML(Chen Xiang Du did wonders to this drama)
Best FL(Zhang JingYe,is the female actress we need for many years to come)
Best support leads
Best story
Best writers
Best directors
Best cinematography
Best wardrobe
BEST everything needed to make a great Drama
100000/10 RECOMMENDED
