I like the action scenes but the whole series looks too Hollywood-style. Overall it's an okay watch for me.
Yepp, the whole vibe was more american, trying to balance cartoonish violence and "deeper" moments. The result was fancy but rather shallow. An okay watch is an accurate description.
Ok, the fight scenes were actually cool and enjoyable. But the rest was a huge meh. Not much substance under the admittedly lovely, well-polish package. It's easy to binge but it leaves one unsatisfied. Like fast food.
There's a reason why his mother is so young, they actually address it.
There's a flashback where we see mrs Baek back when they were poor. In it, Yoowol is just a little girl, a literal child. Later, Yikang tells his mother that he knows what his father did and - I don't remember the exact phrasing - how he feels every single time he thinks about it. Mrs Baek at some point asks for Yoowols forgiveness and tells her, "I know it was not your fault."
We have seen so many illegitimate sons in sageuks, without spending a second thought on *what* that means and what actually happened to their mothers. Finally, someone took a little time to go there, even briefly.
Is there anyone who watched this show knowing what's going to happen in the end? You know to the guy?Someone spoiled…
Not in detail, but everybody has been saying the ending is sad and keep the tissues at hand etc, so I was prepared for a good old tragic sageuk ending. Had not problem with that. I was beginning to get a little tired of the rent years' deluge of historical dramas with happy endings.
Yes, and how sad is it that, given how South Korean media handles things, his life will be tarnished? He will…
You're voicing your disgust at leniency towards drug offences while writing as if you're on five different kinds of substances yourself. Or you're very good at imitating the disjoined and confused way a drug user is trying to follow a discussion, for some reason.
Anyway, the only ones with something to gain from persecuting drug users are the gangster bosses at the top of the distribution chain and their cronies in high places. Literally no-one else. But "disgust" is a strong, visceral feeling. Cannot be met with arguments. I'll just leave you with your feelings, then.
People are just horny as fuck, it disgust me how they always try to spin their desperation for kissing scenes…
There's nothing wrong with horniness. It's a natural state of the homo sapiens sapiens. Looking down on it is not noble either. For the record, I did not even notice there were no kissing scenes in this drama.
I just finished episode 3 and I thought it was really cool to see a prince in the Joseon dynasty being depicted…
No, they justified it perfectly. She explains her thoughts to her court lady and what she describes is just simple, good old empathy: the ability to put aside your own reaction to wonder for a bit what this situation is doing to the *other person*. People with empathy have always been around. Also, the time period was well aware of this, anyone who sees it immediately understands what is happening here. They knew it was a thing and had rules in place for it.
Knew the culprit right from the start but thought it was quite unsatisfying they didn’t even show exactly how…
How did you know the culprit from the start? I don't remember them showing him all that much in either way. He had no character. He was just there. Did I miss something?
"Wow. Yes! Exactly that."
Wow. Yes! Exactly that.

Being magnanimous is better than being full of shit.
Come on,
If yes, why?
If not, why not?
