well, a timely death of Sunho's father could've saved all of them from a needless heartache but gotta be consistent with the historical dates

I kinda agree but still he should've done all of these before sh*t hit the fan, like from the very start he should've owned his faults and gave up on his position, at the end of the day he tried to fix something he was the cause, it wasn't some heroic self sacrifice but a much owned debt he had to pay

This was wonderful, I'm in love with all of these characters, it's been such a long time since I really cared about the characters themselves, I'm glad that producers chose actors that can actually carry the plot, ugh be still my heart, this has become one of my favourite dramas

p.s. The only downside for me was the OSTs, they were mediocre at best and I think a good OST completes the drama, unfortunately in this case it was the opposite.

I'm beyond confused and in desperate need for a second watch but I think KSY out performed himself, it was just awesome and I think I might just love this movie.

Most of the time I see him as just lady kim and "her" scenes with dong joo are like out of a yuri genre, their chemistry is on fire and Nokdu looks too hot in women's clothes more so than in men's which is why I'm beyond confused while watching it. XDD
This drama took me by suprise and I hope it just keeps the quality consistent down by the road cause so far I'm in love.

I don't even classify this as a school drama, the context is much more than that which is why I love it in the first place.
Dan Oh might be in a shoujo manwha yet her real stuggle is with fate itself, her challenge to writer is almost like a declaration to god in some sense. Also her monologs about self awareness is quite impactful and thought provoking. Had I read the synopsis or watched the trailer I would've marked this of something as a cliche run of the mill drama yet so far it certainly delivered a lot more than what it promised.

This was so good, that ending was everything.

I just love this sort of "what if" scenarios, no matter how cliche it may get when it's done right the result is wonderful and so far I think this drama is one of those.
Rain is carrying the weight of the character perfectly, I don't know if it's due to his personal life or he seasoned his acting skills but either way, I'm pleasantly surprised how it is easy to watch this.
This drama isn't a realistic portrayal of crime based events but it knows how to pull one's heartstrings, for all the choices we make there are certain consequences and this drama is a little reminder for that, which is why I really like this drama.

I like the chinese remake's ending better

yan xun wasn't a villain but someone who was broken by circumstances then he mended himself to become a soulless ruler, it was his choice and I don't blame him for doing what he did, you can't be a good person to everyone but at the end he wasn't even good to that one person who saved,protected, loved, trusted and has been loyal to him, which made him unlikeable for me.
I also read the ending for the novel, someone was kind enough to translate important bits of the whole ordeal so after reading those Yan Xun become even more unpleasant to me, Xing'er was just another woman to him, ugh... if that's how he treats his lifelong friend/kinda lover who has done so much for him, I can't imagine how he would rule his nation

this is fun, kinda hate the guts of teacher so hyun but aside from occasional stupidity streaks from both leads the story itself is solid

so far I am in love with this drama, aside from the great writing, acting, filmography and cgi, the OSTs are just too good, I love old kpop/indie style songs and the music selection in this drama is giving me life <3

he should find another vampire role, korean dramas are miserably failing on that genre but if it's lee soo hyuk I'm willing to sit through a cringefest for him, he has just the right look for it

this show is right up my alley, I love when there is flood of fantasy dramas

I love this genre and I watch whatever is out there but so far this drama had too many acting and writing holes.
Oh Goo Tak, who is supposedly the main lead, is too underwhelming and Yoo Mi Yeong is a mediocre character, the actress playing her is even worse, her diction is stiffer than Google Translate.
I'm going to continue for the sake of it while hoping to find something worthwhile along the way.

in this show everyone is in the grey area and not a single character is innocent which what I really love about it, "justice always wins because it depends on the people who make the rules" is the main idea the drama built upon and it delivers the message for sure
imo if you are into this genre than this one is should be on your watchlist

This was THE BEST, I'm not the type uses all capitals but I'm high from that ending and this drama was really quality work, this trio needs another season

this is really good, I love when everyone is in the grey area and there is no fixed good guy

I loved fuyao to bits since leads' charisma and cinematography smoothed out the small hiccups but for some reason LST felt too over the top, I mean that child actress was so adorable yet she was a total miscast, even her father felt too immature and bad at acting hence I simply skipped her brief back story but the adult actress was unfortunately as stiff as her child counterpart * sigh * , I'm not sure whether it was the story or the acting but the flow was somehow weird.
Anyways I dropped it by the 2nd or the 3rd episode but I'm willing to give it another shot depending to the answer of this question.
Q: Does the lead actress gets better at acting as it goes on or meh ?

Ode to joy was a drama I held off for almost 3 years but I've seen the both seasons in this last 2 weeks, there are some major nonsense plot points such as Andie's so called illness but overall the girls kinda grew on me and it's fun once you get pass the first quarter
