My initial comment spoke of these people as characters not as actors and you replied by saying people shipped the emperor and the empress because of their chemistry. People misuse the word chemistry. To me chemistry isn't a word I would use to describe as two versatile actors looking good together but as their portrayal of their feeling as characters for each other. That's why I laugh at people who use this word with wrong pairs of characters in the series. I know nothing of the actors and I'm not interested but it's because of their acting skills and their versatile range which enabled them to portray the inner feelings of characters. So I think your reply had nothing to do with the characters which was my focal point, which I find kind of irrelevant.

I didn't feel anything between them other than forced love out of despair to be with someone. I saw the emperor as someone who was deprived of maternal love and he was looking for that love in Oh Sunny. That was toxic for me and Oh Sunny used that to her advantage since he did that to her. If people call that chemistry , then we really don't know what a healthy relationship should be like. The only chemistry I felt was between Yoon the crown prince and oh Sunny's sister. The actors were great at portraying their roles and the message was delivered perfectly for everyone to understand. Those adjustments in the end ruined Wang Shik's character just because the actor couldn't continue with those extended episodes. It's the last part which ruined the whole drama atleast for me. The very reason I rated it 7.0 /10

I watched this drama but yeah, Ok Jung made a choice and every choice has it's consequences.

Ask yourself why she was persecuted yet Sookbin who was lower than her wasn't ? There are many reasons. First the king showed intrest in her when he had other Queens which her mother couldn't allow. Two her family played a part in her downfall knowing full well the world is out to get her. Three she never used legitimate means to rise to the Queen position yet people couldn't allow someone from a middle class. (She was in middle class not peasant class as the drama suggests) to become Queen. Four even when she became Queen, she was still anxious. She couldn't allow other women to be with the King. That was unrealistic. Five. She had bad allies who weren't politically talented like the western party. Remember the King kept his power using these three women. Unlike in Dong Yi, the southern party was talented politically. I tried to sympathize with her but she chose what she chose and with every choice, there's a price. I thought what would have happened if she remained a royal concubine???? What if she didn't bring the shamans in the palace to practice witch craft ??? What if she had a reliable family enough to give pointers??? What if her party was talented to keep her a live???? or what if the King had demoted and dismissed her from the palace??? But her fate went to different direction

Watch Dong Yi first. Dong Yi was released first in 2009 whereas this one in 2013. This drama is 70% pure fiction.

It's a historical ending .

It's based on real Korean history and most characters are real historical figures. So it's not your typical romantic drama but rather a heavily political drama. The ending depends on the perspective of the viwer since at one moment you will view the perspective of these characters. For me it was the most realistic ending. The ending was the result of the choices the characters made.

I watched this last year and I get that it wasn't easy to connect with the new actors but 7.5 is too little for this drama. I know I shouldn't expect 9 or 8 but a 7.9 or 7.8 would be fair. First were the actors which led to a big loss especially the main characters. For such an adaptation based on a novel which has 1000+ chapters, they should have picked actors who are ready to take on this project till it's completion. Secondly, the character for Sang Sang wouldn't have two actresses. The heavenly maid should have remained as such and SangSang should have remained as such. For the most part , the cast change was a huge turn off. The story was excellently executed , which is why a 7.5 isn't fair compared to some Mary Sue dramas I see here with highier ratings.

Even if season 2 were there, I wouldn't watch this.

I have many favourites from the book like when Moran looked for his soul and he reached some netherworld hospital where he found Chu Wanning's soul there and unconscious, their bath reunion, when Chu Wanning came to save Moran on punishment tower, the ghost wedding, The moments when Chu Wanning became Xia Sini and Moran took care of him, and the scene where Moran and Chu Wanning went to master Huai zhui's cave. I can't forget the horse riding at Rufeng sect right before Song Quitong's wedding

Exactly the deceased talked about Joo Seokkyung. Another thing, if Cheon Seojin knew Baek Jun Ki , then why the heck was she checking through his things? Glad Secretary Jo didn't get beaten by JDT in this episode

Ep 6 should I say this is lazy writing or should I just say I just don't understand and I have many questions? Shim Suryeon knew all along that she had twins. If she knew, wasn't it obvious what Yoon Hee was going to tell her after going to places the deceased last went to? Another thing, She had laid a trap for Baek Jun Ki , why the heck did she get out of the car? I'm not surprised Logan is back but why in this manner? I'm disappointed in Baek Jun Ki. Shim Suryeon doesn't deserve him. How the heck did Cheon Seojin know Baek Jun Ki ? Where is Joo Seokkyung in these last 6 months ? The show feels draggy again without Logan. The only interesting part was Kang Mari and the 3 rich madams. We are in the middle of the last season and literally nothing makes sense.

I would gladly watch the Donghua

I also heard such rumours of refining special effects

I would have been happy if it was a Donghua. I'm not a Manhua person

This episode left sour taste in my mouth watching the fake Joo Dan Tae going rampage. What annoyed me the most was Jenny's dad. Should I say he's stupid or he hasn't learned his lesson for staying in prison for 6 years? How can one be so reckless??? I know you want to prove your innocense but hey do it more meticulously. Then comes the passive Shim Suryeon asking showing the police the photo instead of driving. Cheon Seojin can't be trusted. I think with this, Shim Suryeon will wake up and be active again as Na Ae Gyo against these villains. I can't leave without talking about Baek Jun Ki and Ha Yoon Chul. This guy Baek Jun Ki isn't to be underestimated, thank God he didn't take it, and there's someone behind Ha Yoon Chul and I think it might be Logan telling him to save Oh Yoon Hee. Joo Seokkyung, the fake Joo Dan Tae's hunting dog has finished it's hunt and now he's thinking of getting of her. Oh Yoon Hee did everything I expected of her doing and she was smart this time, it's just that she would have left Eunbyeol taken away and go to Shim Suryeon. and this miss Jin, does she expect to get Ha Eunbyeol back now that she's in Cheon Seojin's grasp!!!!!????. Penthouse without Logan is getting more ridiculous.

I bet by the time HYX airs, the streaming channels will get a virus due to too much views

Will this drama get a season 2???? I mean seriously we got an unfinished product. They would have just filmed the whole thing and be done with.

Thank you very much. I'm reading these second time. When I first read these, they had translated up 129. Then I moved to mtl translations. That was last year. I can just do the same

I think it would have been wiser to focus on driving than to drive while calling Eunbyeol that way she can escape from Joo Dan Tae. My opinion though
