Yep, I feel the same way. It's weird honestly, but interesting too. I'm curious how well this show will do, since the production looks very high-quality and these are famous actors.

Can't exactly say the same about the dresses, though. They look like quinceañera prom dresses 😭 and the glitter isn't helping. But then again, this is all made up so it's whatever 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

What I'm honestly a little torn about is why Korea had to make/write a Western-inspired story, when they could have set it in their own country with their own customary dress, just like in Perfect Crown. As a European too, I can't help but find this very costumey, like Mardi Gras even.
I don't see Western productions coming up with royal Asian fictional shows (with Western actors), so this is definitely a little weird, personally.

Yeah idk what's up with the poster

Does it have a sad ending?

Yup he chooses so many romance dramas but then refuses to have kissing scenes. Hes the reason why I’ve had to drop several shows. I don’t mind his acting, but I don’t like his choices. If I’m watching a romance story, I want affection and kisses 🥲😅

Fr! I've been expecting this basically all year. Rumors are something else..

Looks like it's definitely airing September

Is this gonna drop all at once the 18th?

I thought I saw a rumor for Sept 17th, but I guess that's wrong since that's when Spring of the Blade is airing?

Why is there AI generated content? Can someone explain?

Yes, it's pretty much exactly as you said.
It looks like we might get another historical drama with him next year called Road to Glory--looking forward to that! It's funny, because it almost sounds like the plot is the gender-reversed version of PoJ.

What's with the poster 😭

Who changed the photo? The old one was soo cute! 😢😢

I relate a little too much to this 😭😭 I swear I ended up watching PoJ for Qi Min and Yu Qian Qian. Obsessed with them! 💔

More or less how much would you rate it?

That's not a lot, is it? Not compared to most dramas..

If you're looking for a really good Republican era C-drama, I recommend City of Streamer. I'm currently watching it and genuinely in love with it. Don't mind the rating on here. It's very good!!

The promotions made everyone's expectations sky-high, and we all expected a high-budget, high-level production, but it turns out it's not quite what it was made out to be. I personally haven't watched it yet, but apparently, like most Republican-era dramas, the plot is messy, and the acting isn't great. People were comparing it to vertical drama quality. Plus there was drama because of the AI-generated intro.
But this MDL page also got bombed by trolls, so the rating really isn't legit either.

SPOILER: Oh, also, it looks like it has a sad ending.

Very excited for this!

Yeah, and it's apparently set to air this month. I'm guessing it'll be toward the end of September then 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Omg samee, I LOVE the Blossoms plot, and the ML is fabulous, but her acting is so off. Eventually, I'll finish Blossoms, but it'll take me a while because of her.
