Funny thing is I HATE car chase scenes with a passion! And I usually fall asleep during them and miss the rest of the movie but this car chase had me on the edge of my seat (and also thinking "how are they safely filming this?" )

Thanks. Yes, it took me quite a bit of Googling to figure that out. Thanks again.

I'm confused. I just watched the movie and everything about it seemed Japanese but towards the end, the newly restored King is talking about uniting China. So I came to MDL which says it is a Japanese production but the synopsis also mentions this takes place in ancient China. Can someone please educate me on what I obviously missed in the history about China and Japan's relationship?

I thought he looked too old to be paired with Sung hoon and I'm Soo young.

I can't help but think how if this were told from a different point of view, she would be the villain and we'd all be on Uncle Ron's side.

I'm really torn because while I don't like how Uncle beat her, she deserved some type of punishment. Her experimenting (roofi) has destroyed an innocent man's life!

Jane had two boyfriends - Michael and Raphael. I think you're talking about Raphael?

Until I read your comment, I'd completely forgotten that Sung hoon and I'm Soo Hyang starred together in Tales of the New Gisaeng.

Poor Sung hoon. These roles he gets... SMH

Yes, but he's hilarious. Before this drama, he always played serious villains, but it was this show that made his comedic flair visible. The drama is set in modern day but there's a fictional monarchy reigning S. Korea. I wasn't interested either because it's described as majaeng which I try to avoid. I must've started it during a lag of new shows with nothing else to watch but I'm glad I did . It also made me a fan of Jang Nara whom I really didn't appreciate before and only watched her in dramas where she starred with Jang Hyuk.

Besides the original Korean version, there's a Vietnamese version and another version but I don't know the country for the other version. I enjoyed them all although none compared to the original.

Watch Shin Sung Rok in The Last Empress of you haven't seen it. Also he's quite the funny character in Perfume (although that show is just so-so). But The Last Empress is everything!

Why do I keep getting alerts that someone has replied to me on this thread? I've never commented on this before.

I'm sooo glad! Now I can cancel them. They've been holding back the shows in my region anyway until by the time they show them, everyone else in the K-Online Community has moved on to other dramas and I've lost interest.

Right off the bat I know we're in trouble when the Ballerina left her friend a note that says "Avenge me" with a web address that the friend (our heroine) has to try to order "food" from but she doesn't know the correct answer to the question "how many soy sauce packets do you want?" so the criminal leaves the chat (food order) room. Now why would the note send her friend on an obscure investigation when she could've just spelled out EXACTLY who and what the problem was? If she feared someone else would get the note before her friend, then she could've left an obscure note with clues but since she left the actual web site, she could have just listed the criminals name, address and phone number. The fight scenes were good but that's about it.

There is no way I can reconcile some of the things this teacher did - such as revealing to the entire class that a child's mom has abandoned him and is now a "bar lady". No way everything she did was for their good. Yes, some harsh things could be in preparation for the real world but there should've been more consequences for the more questionable things she did.

This should've been treated with comedy ala Welcome to Waikiki but instead, I felt too bad for the humiliation dished out here. (And I'm a woman who generally man bashes men but this was too harsh even for me.)

This should have been funny but instead it was too sad and humiliating for ML.

After reading the comments here, maybe I saw an incomplete version of this show (I did have to watch it on an illegitimate site because I couldn't find it on legit one).
My problem with the show was that it's only 12 episodes but (if I recall correctly), we are only told that Baek Rok and Jung Yeon were sweethearts in the 11th or 12th episode. Up until then i thought Jung Yeon had a one sided childhood crush on Baek Rok. The knowledge that Baby Bro infringed on their actual relationship (and that Baek Rok went along with it) changed the entire dynamics of the story!

Somebody explain to me how everyone in the drama has a past (including childhood characters) and present character, yet Yang Se-Jong portrays Song Seung heon's character as a youth, but while everyone else's youth characters do not appear in the present (which makes sense), Yang Se-jong AND Song Seung heon both exist in the present.
