Well said. They should also stop showing commoners staring at nobles in these series; according to imperial protocol,…
Not to that extreme! There’s a big difference between historical misery and simple visual logic. We just want characters who look the part, not a skincare commercial 😂

Cocaine business is booming too!!, but that doesn't make it a standard for a healthy society. You are fundamentally confusing commercial turnover with artistic integrity, and mixing crafts that serve entirely different purposes. Architecture and shopping centers are built for visual comfort—that is their function. Drama, however, is the art of mimicking the human experience. When you shove a foundation-wearing general into a trench, you aren’t creating 'beauty'; you are committing a technical error. It’s the equivalent of a building that looks pretty but has no structural foundation.
Defending this filtered circus with financial success is just the 'fast food fallacy.' Junk food sells billions, but it remains a sign of cultural decay. Forcing this 'Idol' industry into drama has ruined the craft by rewarding people who don't even know how to act; the only thing they offer is a 'pretty face' that doesn't even fit the role. It is a bad trend that has ruined the essence of Aestheticism itself, not just the drama. It is truly pathetic to witness this decay. I feel really sad because there was a time when simplicity was enough—when actors were naturally beautiful, and their presence was astonishing because it was real, not manufactured.
Now, we are forced to watch puppets instead of human beings, and tons of makeup instead of a natural look. The absurdity of idols demanding to look 'camera-ready' in every single frame, while lacking the most basic acting skills, is exhausting. Ruining an entire industry just to cater to certain tastes while alienating the real audience is a real disgrace.
If you're really beautiful, good actor and fit the role why ruin it with a ton of makeup!
This is a massive salute to NRTA for finally starting to end this ‘Idol Aesthetic’ farce that has turned our screens into a shallow, insulting circus. For too long, historical dramas have been hijacked by a pathetic obsession with 'plastic perfection' that prioritizes a star’s vanity over the soul of the craft. We’ve reached a disgusting level of mockery where ‘foundation-wearing generals’ charge into brutal battlefields with skin smoother than a baby’s, looking like they just stepped out of a luxury skincare ad rather than a war zone. It is an utter disgrace and a slap in the face to our intelligence to see ‘immaculate prisoners’ rotting in dungeons with perfectly applied red lipstick and ironed silk robes, while heavy filters blur out every ounce of human emotion just to keep an idol’s face ‘camera-ready.’
The most damaging part of this era hasn't just been the bad acting, but the enabling culture that turned storytelling into a shallow popularity contest. The industry has been held hostage by a 'visual-first' frenzy that prioritizes 15-second social media edits over narrative depth. By rewarding ‘pretty faces’ with mindless engagement, this trend has effectively lobotomized the art form, forcing serious productions to cater to a surface-level gaze that can't handle a single wrinkle or a speck of realistic dirt.
Enough with the embarrassment! Shoving these "human-like puppets" into gritty, complex roles isn't just bad casting; it's a blatant insult to the very characters they are supposed to embody. A warrior should look like a warrior not like a model in a parade. This crackdown is the best move to end these visual scandals and stop the industry from being a cheap, filtered fashion runway for talentless stars and Idols who have ruined this industry that is not meant for them. We need to burn this absurdity and return to a ‘Script-Centric’ era where raw human emotion and realistic grit reign supreme. Realism is the crown, and it’s high time we stripped it away from those who are too vain to even look human on screen. Content is King, and authenticity is the only beauty that won't make us sick.
Lol korean touch...the most violent and disturbing movies i have ever watched have been korean.
And its really absurd when u compare this empty shell to masterpieces of Korean cinema just shows you don't understand what made them great in the first place.

Lol, imagine thinking that 'Korean touch' means 'lack of blood.' It refers to storytelling quality, genius. Old Korean movies used violence to tell a tragedy; this show uses it just to fill runtime because the script is weak. Learn the difference between 'Noir' and 'Trash' before acting smart.
He never killed anyone u slow, do u even watch the drama? That nail gun only slow them down, not killed them.…
It seems you’re the one watching with your eyes closed. In the chase scene alone, he wiped out dozens, and in the villa, another dozen. And regarding your 'nail gun' defense? Bro, a pneumatic nail gun shoots steel projectiles at high velocity capable of piercing skulls and rupturing arteries. It’s heavy construction equipment, not a taser! Thinking that pumping people full of 3-inch nails is just 'slowing them down' is pure delusion. Just because the director didn't show the funerals doesn't mean they survived that butchery
Korea has been making these types of movies for a long time though. It seems to be their favorite genre with gangsters…
Yeah, but it wasn't at that scale they were even bluring knives and white weapons now its full exposure to everything related to violence and I'm not talking about violence; I'm talking about plot!
This is one the most absurd dramas of the year, the protagonist for proving his innocence he killed half of the series 🤣. It seems that Korean dramas nowadays has been horribly affected by western cinema and dramas that's really terrible and starts to destroy the Korean touch unfortunately.
What a journey! This was incredibly entertaining from start to finish. The final case was quite bizarre but expected somehow — I loved how everything came together. Definitely deserves a full review later! 😊
This drama is great, but the absolute comedy starts when the female lead starts to lecture people who literally had their entire families wiped out — telling them that “criminals should be punished according to law.” Oh wow, thank you for the wisdom, Your Highness of Law😌
Because we all know how the law always protects the powerless, right? Totally. Those with money and authority? They definitely don’t walk away from their crimes like nothing happened. Nope. Never. 🙃
And what amazes me the most is that the heroine herself had her family slaughtered, and the killers faced zero consequences at first… yet she still dares to preach about law. I know that your father is a law person, but at least make it make sense WTF? 😐
So please, enlighten us… what law are you talking about exactly? And the real joke? These poor people are being punished for going after the monsters who destroyed their lives. If those villains were still alive, they'd be living their best lives — laughing, eating, sleeping — while the law watches from a distance like: “Not my business 😅”
But sure, let’s lecture the grieving victims about morality and proper legal procedure… because apparently weak and hopeless people should watch their beloved ones die and do nothing.
'Despite the weird rating'. Other people's rating influences your enjoyment of the show? I'm confused. I don't…
That’s literally the case here many dramas, rated under 8 score up to even 7.3 but waaaah they’re marvelous in many aspects and the acting is superb, and some dramas score 9 points literally 9.0 and I don’t get why they have such insane rating, so the rating in my opinion doesn’t reflect in many times the real state of many dramas it’s just based on personal tastes and preferences.
