I'm finding myself zoning out during the action scenes, which isn't a good sign. And none of the characters have grabbed me yet. I'll still give it a try though, because of the cast, particularly Wi Ha Joon is often great.
I ALWAYS drop historical dramas after a few episodes. Maybe episode 6 if they’re good. But here, I’m at episode 6 and it is my favourite airing drama atm (albeit competition is not high) maybe even one of the best in the year so far.
I’m pretty ambivalent of the ML actor tbh (He’s good, but I’ve never been wowed) but I’ve seen almost all of his dramas, because he does know how to pick them. His character is interesting here, but it’s the FL I love. She’s so human.
i think every great drama or movie always had a sad, bittersweet ending directly or indirectly. And everyone remember…
Hm. Not sure I agree. Every movie or drama I have loved had a satisfying ending. That can be happy, sad, somewhere in between. Depends a lot on the genre. Satisfying means it tells the story completely, and that the ending lingers long enough to feel final, but not too long - it feels finished.
Sometimes sad endings feel like a cheap cop-out. I’ve seen some sad endings that completely destroy everything the rest of the story has built and I remember them still - because they left such a bad aftertaste. And I remember some sad endings that are devastating, but still satisfying, because the narrative makes it clear this was the moment the whole journey was leading to (but it doesn’t feel like a waste)… these are the good sad endings.
I get the feeling that if this drama is sad in the end, it will be the latter scenario. But it’s still early days yet.
Wish I could get into this. Just can't. Dropped after Ep 2. Can't stand either of the main characters. Did like…
Each to their own. It’s the main characters that are the biggest draw for me. They are so imperfect, and have so much more personality than many of the MCs of other historical dramas I’ve seen.
Is there any disturbing scenes?? that they change the age preference
There’s some death. A few swear words. The most disturbing scene is a flashback to some school bullying in a middle episode (though there’s some worse violence in other scenes, but those are just straightforward fight scenes). I personally think that compared to other dramas I’ve seen on Disney and Netflix, it’s pretty mild.
In general the themes are not disturbing. And emotionally, I didn’t personally find anything distressing (disclaimer, I regularly watch crime thriller dramas with lots of murder scenes so)

The only problem I have with Viki is that sometimes dramas are not licensed for my region (so frustrating)
