so im like 50min into the first episode and I wanted to ask if the king is based on yeonsangun and they’ve changed…
The webtoon, which the drama is based on directly uses Yeonsangun as the ML, but in the drama they probably changed his name cuz they didn't want to get into any controversy
I feel like I've said this many times already, but Chaemin's acting!??! I know he caught flak for being young/inexperienced (esp compared to Yoona), but he's surprisingly holding his own here. Sageuks are known for making or breaking someone's acting as the tone and diction are really challenging to master, but his acting isn't awkward at all.
