Well, he had some good qualities and was talented and brilliant in some stuff. He was not that good person. He always wanted what the rich guy had. He went after the first girl (the second lead girl) just because she was the gf of the rich guy. And when the rich guy fall for ga young, he started going after her too. That was ok I guess because ga young already loved him and sacrificed a lot for him (losing her scholarship, kicked out of the school and the US because of him, teamed up with him after he got out of jail even stole material from the rich guy company for him) but he never really and truly appreciate fa young. Moreover, he become obsessed with his greed and revenge and was warned by both girls to stop many times but he did not. Ga young told him that she prefers life on factory floor but for them to be peaceful and happy but he never lessons. He also went ahead with criminal activities for his revenge and had to flee s.korea leaving go young for the rich guy to clean his mess. There was no hero here. He blew his chances because of his ego. He was selfish, obsessed with greed and brilliant. But, in the end, all it got him was a lonely death wrapped in a white fur.

I did not see anyone criticizing the hate comments. Well, the drama had mostly hate comments because of what it is. Just look at the rating. I personally think that people either will completely hate it or love it. But regardless of loving or hating it, it’s still very memorable compared to many other dramas. I watched countless dramas that I forgot about. But this one remain with me for some reason.

He is amazing here. He said in an interview that he loved the character he played very much because it reminded him of his real self. It’s definitely not a typical drama but very memorable.

I loved it so much. It’s a drama that u will either love or hate. It’s not a normal romantic drama. It’s about greed, people who stab each other in the back. I don’t think we r gonna see any drama similar to this anymore. newer dramas are becoming boring for me honestly. This one I keep remembering and rewatching for some crazy reason.

I can’t wait for this drama. The visual of both leads looks so appealing :) fighting for the whole team of this drama. I hope u do great.

After she disappeared in the lamp. She was reborn into a new life as her previous self the princess. What we saw is her new lifetime which is her third life and she was dreaming about her previous life with the man she loved.

Yes

I don’t think it would be possible. They were in a relationship before she married song and it looked like it ended badly.

I liked is very much. One of the best of 2019 dramas. A sheltered prince and outgoing historian and political issues they face.

Then u missed a huge part of it. She was in love and practically married to the Qi emperor

It was not unrequited love in this drama considering that he and the FL lead were really in love and even lived together. It was mutual love but he need to let her go and made her lose her memory to protect her. It was one of the most selfless love ever.

I would recommend u checking rookie historian goo Hae Ryun then. No love triangle, lighthearted romcom in historical setting:)

Yes, unfortunately she committed suicide and it is said to be because of cider bullying and hate comments caused her depression.

If u have dropped it, then it’s not fair to say the drama went nowhere. I’m not a hug fan of romantic dramas especially those with empty plot that after the first couple of episodes there is nothing else to add. But this drama was really good in presenting many social and political issues that kept it very interesting. Not only did this drama showed issues about gender inequalities and the gap between classes etc... It presented many new issues that have never been presented before such as discussion about Christianity in Korea and perceptions of western foreigns in that region. I have always assumed in my mind that christinaty came easily to South Korea. if it was not for this drama presenting about this topic, I would have never been got the idea to research the topic. Many issues were presented in lighthearted manner but they were very important to that time of history and even to our modern day today. The writer (even though this is her first original) was really good in being able to present lighthearted romance but saying a lot about social and political issues. I also personally loved how she kept true to the drama and resolved the conflict toward the end peacefully. She sent a true message that people can have a voice to make a difference. I know many people just cared for the romance and these things were not of great importance, but many others such as me and others I discussed with cared a lot about these issues presented in this drama. you can like what u like and drop a drama if u want, it’s just the assumption that the drama is going no where that I find truly unfair to this drama.

I think what some people have a problem with is the language and tone that is used in this drama. The highly acclaimed historical drams such as tree with deep roots (it was actually recommended by a Korean lecturer of Korean history for me and other students) or six flaying dragon has a more formal tone and language that is suitable for that time in Korea (please note, I mean critically acclaimed dramas not moon drown by the clouds or something like it). Also, the acting of the actors and actresses is being criticised for being inappropriate (too modern too) for the historical context too. The drama seems to have impressive budget. It could have helped if the actors got some training to prepare for historical roles and even brought up a historian on board too. Because usually these historical drama requires more than the normal acting required for modern dramas. But, as a Netflix drama, maybe they thought of commercial success only for the drama. I’m just answering ur question. Im personally a huge fan of tree with deep roots and six flying dragon because they were made when the craze of Kdramas was not all over the place like these days. I peaked on this one and it seems impressive but I could not feel the authenticity that I felt with the other two (this drama is also made about the same historical context of these two. Hence, why I’m comparing it to them) No hate though. We all like what we like :) if it’s ur first of its kind, then you have nothing to compare to and that is better.

I will do that once I have sometime to write my thought down :). I really loved this drama so much. Too bad many haters had to drag the rating down. This deserves at least 9. Considering that people give other less worthy dramas 9 and 10 rating.

No. Not really.

Thank you! I seriously sometimes don’t understand what’s wrong with women. They all become forgiving and loving when in a matter of fact people like him never change. Even if they stopped saying it, that does not mean it’s not on his mind! Women need to stop glorifying a guy because of his looks!

Well, if people bother to educate themselves and read the name of writers before jumping into their expectation for a silly romance, then they may have saved themselves writing the hate comments!

Rookie historian is awesome too with a strong and intelligent female lead.
