The story flow will definitely not be smooth in an 8 episode series. I really thought the episodes will be around 1.5 hrs atleast.Also i feel the scene between king and queen was quite necessary in terms of story. Well it is what it is...i still think it deserves 8+ atleast.

Definitely

I somehow feel they made the scenes longer and then edited out a lot during post production, maybe they were told to make it 8 episodes later. It's a good drama but they could have explored a lot in 12 or 16 eps, especially the relationship between the king and queen, i really feel that the death was very abrupt, could have stretched it a bit more. But JCW is going crazy nowadays first worst of evil, now this and then gangnam b side...

👹🔥🔥

I saw some comments saying jeon jong seo used a body double? Does anyone have any solid info on this.. I don't have any issue,just curious cuz the scene definitely didn't seem fake

😂

Yess exactly...i have lost any respect i had for mdl ratings after this one. If anything we should commend their courage for showing these scenes and trying to avoid cliches

Show me some behind the scenes please 👹, ep 1 and 2 especially

It's the kdrama purists, some watch Korean dramas for the cliches only...like love triangle, 1st kiss in ep 11 etc.😆

The older sister is extremely power hungry so she didn't want to marry the king who was 2nd prince at that time because he was not the eldest son(who was supposed to be king), so she wouldn't have become the queen. But due to unexpected events, she could not become queen so she wanted back her lost opportunity

7.8?? Cmon it deserves atleast 8+

He always tries to bring something new and show a new side of his acting prowess to the audience, truly commendable. Tbh he did too many dark characters recently 😂, i would love to see him in a noh ji wook(suspicious partner)type character next, playing a lawyer or business guy

I see many people complaining about the length, even i feel that 16 or 20 eps could have made this even better but i am sure it was a budget issue as well as perhaps scheduling conflicts. Don't know about the others but JCW is extremely busy man.16 episode dramas are anyways disappearing from all genres not only sageuks. Also i feel this one should have been on netflix/other relatively popular OTT's , i know Netflix was not possible as tving is their direct competitor but the international audience would enjoy this much more than local koreans(just my assumption)

I am talking about JCW's scenes with JJS and others.

i have watched it, but it wasn't this level of nudity. I am not complaining just a bit shocked.

Wait someone please tell me if those scenes were really done by JCW or body double? i would assume that with the makeup it will be quite easy to replace him with a double. This guy is quite reckless 😂, girls who want to preserve the cool, handsome and innocent image of JCW will get a SHOCK if they see this one. But hats off to his acting and courage, most top actors will refrain from taking this role. This guy can actually play any role he's given

Wait, how is the same effect achieved through normal sex scene?? Obviously the king doesn't actually want to cheat on her, he is trying to distance her from him

For me he almost doesn't look like a real person, it's like god made him for playing villain/vampire type roles

Nice comment lol 😂

Thanks for the update 😆
