Can someone tell me the scene in which Eunsung kills the Poongsan. I do dog rescue - specifically Korean spitz dogs - and I just cannot bear to witness anything remotely close to this. I get the impression that he's going to burn the Poongsan. I can't. I need to skip through those moments, so I'd really appreciate anyone who can tell me which minutes to skip over.
It will span across 5 series as installments. My worry is more for the later stages when the Scenarios start going…
I haven't read the light novel. I don't know if I can bring myself to do that in addition to the manhwa. haha. But from what I understand, there is some divergence between the two after episode/chapter 100. The manhwa is so excellent.

Kim Dokja is supposedly 5'9" (176cm) but Ahn Hyo Seop is 6'2"! LMH is 6'2" and YJH is supposed to be 6' (184cm). This is going to be interesting, to say the least. Can't wait.
many widows probably had secret lovers back then, they’re humans too who also crave an interesting life just…
I highly doubt it, unless they were getting it on with their servants. The widows of the scholar-gentry class lived in the inner quarters and couldn't leave that damned space without permission. Even the men of the family were not supposed to interact with them if at all possible. I suppose they could have risked jumping the fence, but it's not like jumping the outside fence. They have to jump at least two fences.
There is a reason YH goes to the ancestral shrine a lot. That is outside the inner quarters.
LMH, I think, will do his job. He has the presence for YJH, and if he ups his physical build and stops hunching over, he'll do well. Ahn Hyo Seop, I love but have a hard time picturing him as the "Ugly King." LOL. Ahn Hyo Seop and ugly? Pwahahahha. I also think Shin Seung Ho will be really great as Lee Hyun Sung. I've never seen him play an eager puppy (which is a big part of his character's charm), but he will have no difficulty playing the disciplined soldier. I'm meh about the women, largely because I'm less familiar with their work. Admittedly, I would have wanted someone more Amazonian than Nana for Jung Hee Won. If Kim Hye Soon (under the Queen's Umbrella) were 25 years younger, I'd have cast her as Jung Hee Won.
And which role will the older actors be playing? The dokkaebis?
Also, this manhwa goes on into 500+ chapters, from what I understand. How will the storyline be squeezed into a movie???
At some earlier point in Joseon history, to limit the pool of people eligible for government positions, the government…
As for men of the scholar-gentry class, they didn't even need to think of remarriages since they could take as many concubines as they wished. If their legitimate wives passed away and no concubine was of a respectable enough class (as in came from families with civil servants) to be elevated, then the man would remarry.
I have a question in this drama era, can widows remarry?
At some earlier point in Joseon history, to limit the pool of people eligible for government positions, the government enacted ever more restrictive laws about who could sit for the government exams (the gwageo). Confucius had proposed the civil service exams to make it possible to find sages from all socioeconomic backgrounds (even if the reality of Chinese literacy made it so that only those who could afford to study the classics could pass the exams). However, the yangbans added prereqs, such as four generations on both sides of a candidate's family had to have served in the government, in effect making the exams a means of preserving the status quo or even exacerbating the socioeconomic divide.
Now how is this related to widows' remarriages? Laws were passed so that sons of women who remarried could not sit for the exams. So women of lower social classes could remarry since their sons couldn't sit for the exams anyway. Women of the gentry, however, could not, since her sons, grandsons, and so on would no longer be eligible to sit for the exams (hence secure a respectable livelihood and social standing).
I'm only on Ep. 1, so I am wondering about the possible relationship between Su Ho and Yeo Hwa. Based on the info I've gleaned from the comments, I'm almost wondering if Su Ho is her nephew. He had a father who taught him how to use a sword. Something happened to that father 15 years ago. And something happened to Yeo Hwa's brother 15 years ago.
FYI, I have no problem with the age difference between an older woman and a younger man. We don't when it comes to older men and younger women. (Hello, Song Hye Gyo and Lee Do Hyun!) It's rarely ever a discussion, so it's about time for the reversal.
At some point, South Koreans will need to reckon with the influence of Neo-Confucianism on their expectations of public figures. While I would like public figures whom people consider to be role models to be generally good human beings, there is no possible way that they can be paragons of virtue the way South Koreans expect of their public figures. Honestly, as long as they do their job well and do not hurt other people, shouldn't that be enough? Of course, I do not want to support someone who is convicted of a heinous crime (Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein, I mean you). But South Korea's cancel culture is over the top.
It's ironic that Welcome to Samdalri is on air right now, a drama about a public figure whose career is ruined by an unsubstantiated allegation and a media/public all too trigger happy to damn the person.
Ahjussi. Rest wellLesson for everybody else here. If you have a bad day, dont ever drink the alcohol If alcohol…
What are you talking about? LSK's death had nothing to do with alcohol and everything to do with Korea's toxic & hypocritical neo-Confucian netizen culture.
Criminal habitat? I presume you mean criminal habit. First of all, I would much rather have people smoke pot than drink alcohol, which South Korea does so much that it regularly ranks in the top 10. At least pot doesn't lead to violence. Just because something is criminalized doesn't mean that it's worse than what ought to be criminalized. Second of all, there is no proof that he actually did do drugs. I can't even with all this ignorant presumption and judgment.
Class can be indicated by a number of visual cues. hair style & ornaments, style of hanbok & fabric, shoes, make-up,…
The FL's "son" is not her own son. It's her older BIL's child. The MIL says to the FL in an earlier episode that the FL must take particular care to be attentive to the son so that no one can say she is neglectful of him because he's not hers.
If you're looking for cute fluff, it's worthwhile. I'm watching other shows with more tension so I turn to this to lighten the mood. Honestly, don't pay much attention to the politics. Just enjoy the matchmaking shenanigans. I love the Maeng sisters. Playing armchair matchmaker.
You rate part 1 a 1*, keep watching despite it ending at a logical ending point… the lead didn’t go from 20…
Normally, I am a bit turned off about huge age gaps with older male leads and younger female leads. However, as ElBee pointed out, in the Joseon era, this age gap makes not only sense but is realistic.
