If you are new to this show and you're wondering if you should watch this, watch it until episode 10 and then decide if you want to continue up to episode 16.
If you're reading the comments here, it appears that the show is garbage. It is not. Majority of the commenters are just not used to watching shows with more than one "present". The only flashbacks are the ones shown before Hyun Jo joined the rangers.
In literature, especially in novels, the use of multiple "present" is normal. It helps in telling the story until both "present" finally meet at some point. That's when the audience gets the "aha" moment or "wtf, I didn't expect" that moment.
It is actually refreshing to see Korean writers use this method. It simply means they are starting to be more open on different ways to tell a story instead of sticking to what they're used to, the so-called "K-Drama Bible".
If anything, audiences should rejoice that they are starting to go beyond the "K-Drama Bible" because seriously, it is getting tiring to see the same K-Drama formula in telling a story.
So, again, watch until episode 10 and decide for yourself. Don't even believe what I said.
If after watching up to episode 10 and you _think_ (not _feel_) this method of storytelling is not your cup of tea, then you can move on. At least you gave it a try instead of judging the book by its cover or worse, judging a book because other people said this and that.
Here in Asia, we use VPNs to watch from official streaming services like CW and Amazon Prime for shows exclusive to North America. ;)
Try that method first. You'll really get subpar quality, like Viki's otherwise. LOLs, actually the illegal streaming websites which re-encode shows from IQIYI and Viu are far better than Viki's (unofficial) streams.
Watch only from the official streaming service for this show, which is Viu. Support the official stream.
You can always use a VPN just like how we in Asia use a VPN to watch exclusive North American shows (like those from CW and Amazon Prime). At least that way, you are watching from official streams and not getting subpar uploads like Viki's. ^_^
Watch only in the official streaming service, which is Viu for this show. They even funded it. Viki is an unofficial…
You can use a VPN, Viu is available if you use Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesian IP addresses. It's also free to watch in Viu and you get the official uploads … not broken ones like those from Viki.
Ahh. That's just a fan service to give some sort of ending to that part of the story.
You can ignore it because "Lovers of the Red Sky" is about the story between Hong Chun Ki and Ha Ram. The story of the Joohyang's rebellion was just a literary device to move forward the story of Chun Ki and Ram. Even Ram's allies, same thing, just a literary device. If you recall, Ram's allies just disappeared out of the story, they did not even bother to give it some sort of ending.
However, there was one comment which mentioned that the author of the webtoon actually wrote different webtoons which appears to be interconnected. In one separate webtoon, the story of the two Princes seems to be the exact same two Princes in "Lovers of the Red Sky".
Am I crazy or is there a scene where I can see the mic stands or some sort of metal framework in the last episode?…
Watch only in the official streaming service, which is Viu for this show. They even funded it. Viki is an unofficial streaming service, the only reason it is listed there and Viu is not is because kisskh is bias towards their "partners".
As many of them telling that there is possibility of season 2 .. even tho I really liked this drama .. I binge…
There's no need for a Season 2, the story is about the "Lovers of the Red Sky", a.k.a. Ha Ram and Hong Chun Ki. Everything else were side stories for their romance.
For example, in the ending, one would probably wonder why Ha Ram's allies suddenly disappeared. They just don't matter. Another is, what happened with the rebellion? It doesn't matter either. Those were side stories to move forward the romance between Ram and Chun Ki.
It could very well be a representation of what is actually going on in SoKor. Good writers usually use fiction…
In addition, since this was based on a webtoon, for a production company to choose this further add to the possibility that it is fitting to tell this story to a broader audience because it's no doubt what's "relevant" today (at least in their society).

Live! It's fun to live. Never give up. Keep on living!
kisskh is only listing Viki because they are partners with them.
Unfortunately, Viu IS THE OFFICIAL streaming service for this show and MDL refuses to list them.
It is about time kisskh reconsiders which are listed and which are not. Official streaming services are not listed in favour of "partners".
