I see so many captivating screenshots of this drama, but I couldn't continue after episode 1 due to the gore. Are later episodes more tame in comparison? I want to pick it back up, but I have a very weak stomach to graphic scenes.
edit: ty for the responses! gonna pick it back up o9
Hmm, I don't see the problem with that? A drama's not going to appeal to everyone, so if people with similar tastes…
Ah definitely, I always give a drama at least 1-2 episodes if I had any remote interest in it regardless of what comments say. Just don't take to heart too much what people say; your decision to watch or drop a drama at the end of the day should ultimately be because you want to.
Besides, this drama has mostly praise in this comment section from what I can see; there are some drama where the majority of the comments are negative.
I really am bothered by people spreading negativity in the comments, by saying that they dropped the drama because…

The ones that comment on this while revealing spoilers are an issue though.. ¬ ¬
If you're into thriller mystery, definitely try this one out! Every episode keeps you guessing. The main lead is also very different from your typical kdrama. He's more of an antihero, but the romance (so far) has also been great; the leads have amazing chemistry.
Production is also top notch if that's ever a worry.
Actually, right from the beginning it didn't look like it was joseon era. Like how the crown princess got pregnant…
well that was kept a secret from everyone aside her father until the end. it's mentioned that it's worthy of the execution, so it definitely wasn't taken lightly.
The first half was definitely more enjoyable (the 100 days for the most part) and DO's acting was so subtle and…
"The villain was completely OP, to the point where I got frustrated (initially) and indifferent (later) every time the plans of the "good guys" were foiled yet again. "
this exactly. The vice premiere really had no business being the best swordsman at his age either.
Laughed so hard during that dialogue when Jin Kang asks about the cat, and Moo Young responds that it's busy cuz it got a boyfriend; he named the cat Jin Kang, and was actually referring to her.
I so crave for more Moo Young & Jin Kang scenes (and bless the preview for ep 10, looks like we're gonna get a ton). Their dialogue always draws me in. "Promise me you'll be a nice person." "Then teach me." I find it fascinating that Moo Young doesn't really lie when speaking with others, but conceals the truth. With Jin Kang, however, his dialogue is always genuine.
Happened earlier than expected, but the burden of a real case is showing on Cho Rong. There was great foreshadowing in previous episodes, notably that seen where he averted his gaze to Jin Gook and Yu Ri falling, that while he may be passionate about his job, he is still too naive and innocent--he's not ready to accept the responsibility yet.
I was really hoping this would not happen, at least not with this one since I was enjoying it so much, but once…
I'm on the same boat. I loved the comedy and romance, but I started feeling bored when it got to the political affairs; it felt like another typical historical, which surprised me because during my weekly chime ins, I saw people criticizing the first half, even though this drama was initially presented as a comedy.
The first half for me was an easy 10/10, but the political conflicts with the vice premiere just felt way too (in)convenient.

Thank you guys ~
I wish there was an option to label spoilers so people would know what spoilers to open or not.

Seo Eun Soo is slowly making her way! I've enjoyed her performances in everything I've seen her in thus far. Hope to see more of her in the future.
