Are there any CDramas coming out or planned to be released in 2024 that will be similar to SOKP in terms of quality (cinematography, set designs, etc), grey characters, and captivating historical storyline that is on the mature end (not fluffy light stuff)? It doesn't have to be about reincarnation or etc. I haven't seen anything in 2024 released so far that measures up to this. Appreciate the recommendations.

Haha it came to be later on as I got frustrated with some parts of the drama 😊

Happened to come across this by accident and what a unique storyline even if its an unbelievable plot that starts this off. While it deals with some serious mental health matters for the FL, there are some truly hilarious moments and glad I stumbled on this gem.

Well said, if they release the alternate endings with CYQ and AM I would be pretty happy. CYQ deserves his female general by his side.

Haha, glad I'm not the only one

Well said, the ML is a flop of a man

Thanks for the translation! Its nice she acknowledged CYQ's devotion to the AM character. If only it was real life and we all had a CYQ 💗

Oh Yeahhh, it would get a big round of applause from me if there was a scene with CYQ doing that with his typical smirk.

What's with all the screaming in this drama? Almost every episode there's someone screaming on top of their lungs.

true, true. he can't just show up with flowers and a sappy love poem.

😁

What does that man have to do to woo her? At least there was that morsel thrown out there towards the end.

I agree, it dragged in the end for me. At least there was a brief interaction of the SML with the FL on better terms than with the ML fool.

Whenever the ML Ak Hee wears the black mask it makes me think of Scarlett Heart Ryeo even though they are very different dramas.

They are doing a good job of it so far then!

I don't know why the screenwriters, producers couldn't see that, isn't that their job to be able to figure out what the audience wants? The SML and the FL storyline and chemistry is pretty much the only good thing left but the SML barely shows up in episode 30 and 31 and then he's gone. Now its centered on the Prime Minister and his family, like I care about him turning into a villain with the Empress and her whiny harem palace politics.

I got to the 34th episode and did so many fast forwards. Yes they butchered things alright. 😤

That order you mentioned in the novel would be ideal. Why would they relegate the SML to be a guest role and to have little screentime? What the heck were the screenwriters, producers thinking?

It's annoying when they have a better storyline and execution between the FL and the SML and leave us dangling with it.

Great suggestion, I am rooting for that especially a more developed story line between the same FL and the SML actor. It had so much potential there!
