Visually pleasing and great film
Watched it because of the FL and what a great film it was.FL, is great as a person who dreams about killing peoples, and can not understand why and who they are that she is killing in her dreams. She is suffering from self harm and it’s been getting worse. She lives with her aunt who wants to desperately help her. Aunt and her Sharman friend trying to help her to overcome her nightmares. A mystical film, that was so good I had to watch it straight again, in case I have missed anything from the storyline. The acting of the FL and the ML were very convincing. Visually the film was pleasing with at time dreamlike state. The OST was very nice as I think the ML and the FL sang it, but I might be wrong. Would recommend and would watch again .

Bridgerton meet's My sassy girl with a touch of Jane Austen
*The Scandal of Chunwha* reminds me of the mischievous princess from *My Sassy Girl*, but with more adult themes and set in a fictional kingdom. It feels like Korea's answer to Bridgerton , with its mix of romance, drama, and *ahem* steamy content. Like Bridgerton, the show doesn’t seem to prioritize historical accuracy, and that’s fine if you’re in it for the entertainment. And just like the popular show, there's a secret writer behind the scenes, adding another layer of intrigue with the books that contains the explicit drawings looking like the princess in various explicit positions.The first episode went off to a good start, but I found it took me a little while to connect with the characters. The pacing definitely improved by the second episode, and the storyline started to flow much better. In my opinion, the themes of the program seem more suited for an adult audience as well.
I’ve seen some reviews critiquing the show for its sex and nudity, but honestly, this is not a new trend in Korean dramas. Many Korean dramas, even historical ones, have included such scenes in the past.
In episodes 9 and 10, the show takes a dramatic turn, becoming far more gripping and intense. The chemistry between the FL and ML evolves, but as the story unfolds, their once-likely romance begins to feel increasingly uncertain. Despite this shift, the finale delivers a satisfying conclusion that ties things up neatly. Overall, it's a series I would happily rewatch in the future.
This film boasts stunning cinematography, with each shot thoughtfully crafted to enhance the visual experience. Overall, it's a well-made production, with a seamless integration of its original soundtrack. The OST complements the narrative beautifully, enhancing the mood without ever feeling overpowering or out of place.

Great acting but oh so toxic relationship between the FM/ML
That was a dark and toxic relationship between the two leads. As expected nothing good came from it.On the other hand the ML and FL both acted amazing and convincingly.
Rewatch, it was quite abusive and I think once would be enough to watch it. But will be looking out of the leads other programs to watch in the future.

Enjoyable all the way through
This program is a short drama with around 10 min per episodes.Despite the short runtime, the story was interesting and enjoyable all the way through, being quite unpredictable at times of what’s to expect next. The acting was fab from all parties and the OST was fitting.
Rewatch, yes, without a doubt

I got a bit bored towards episode 23/24, but after a little break, I finished the series and did quite enjoyed it, enough to give 10 stars.
Last episode wrapped it the series in good Asian fashion, with some happy and some sad endings. Would watch again.

Reincarination done well
Watched this because of the ML as watched him in A tale about love and loyalty. He was again very convincing in this role as was the ML. FL I saw in the double, glad she is moved to the longer production, as she is a very good actress, very talented and very pretty. ML seems to have good chemistry with his FL by the looks of it. Again there were quite a few kissing scene that looked like the ML did very much enjoyed.Program was short and was entertaining and would consider watching again

Loved from start to finish
Love love love, well I do enjoy watching Esther Yu in most programs, and this is not an exception. Great storyline that flows well, and all actors were brilliant. There was great chemistry between the 1LC and the 2LC, and you did get the feeling that they must get on very well when not acting.Will be rewatched in the future .
I think a perfect follow on from this is moonlight :)
