Oh Sunny

I really appreciate is your response, thank you. I wish more people on this site took this approach to disagreeing than being gleefully self-righteous.

Best luck to your studies! :)

No, I was not defeated by logic.

When I was talking about maturity, I was talking about mental and neurological development. Science. But the other poster seems to be talking about layman's understanding of maturity, like mature/immature person. Therefore, they read my comment completely differently than what I intended.

But it was not a discussion worth having on this site. You can study psychology if you're interested.

Actually, just nevermind.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I know nothing about this Bird Box thing but I would watch just about anything with your proposed cast!

Bu Qi is just very cleverly looking after herself, I agree. It's what she has been doing her whole life.

As for the "how did they know she had a daughter", in the first episode the prince said "she surely had a daughter", so I guess there is either something about the bloodline that favors daughters, or the prince has just put his faith on that to the point of obsession, because a girl of the bloodline is what he needs.

The appearance thing really is funny though. I guess they see something we don't LOL

Nope! ^^

Good point, I would not be able to handle Hellsing level gore in a live action, either.

This drama is a bit of a bumpy ride.

The leads relationship and chemistry is wonderful, but I'm having hard time caring about anything else. Still, going to keep watching!

Yes, it would make sense, but it did not start after Eun Ho died, he was already doing it in episode 1.

Sure, but that does not really explain why he does that. Numbing your brain by using physical pain is not a thing a person without deeper issues does.

Agreed, vampire craze was already so big in the 90s that people were tired of them, LOL

Tough question, honestly. Depends on what kind of elements you want to see, and what kind of flaws you're able to ignore. (Like I love "Swords of Legends", but it's honestly cringe-worthy in some aspects.)

If you want more fantasy adventure, there's "Tribes and Empires", though I'm not sure if I can recommend it since the second season will probably never happen. Keep an eye out for "Eagle Flag", which is coming next summer, though.

"Chinese Paladin" series is classic but maybe hasn't aged well.

"Legend of Fuyao" is a recent popular drama. I didn't love it, but it's not bad.

For adventure and martial arts, there's the classic Condor Heroes series: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". These have a million adaptations with varying quality. If you can handle a series made in the 80s, start with the 1983 adaptation of the first one, if not, go for the 2017 version.

"Nirvana in Fire" is a lasting fan favourite, but it's more about revenge, scheming and politics (and tragedy). If that sort of story appeals to you, then "Rise of the Phoenixes" is also said to be top quality, though I haven't watched it yet.

And then for South Korean quality historical/politics/some adventure: "Tree With Deep Roots", "Six Flying Dragons", and "Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People".

The world of anime and manga is full of high profile vampire stories. Hellsing, Trinity Blood, Blood+, Vampire Knight...

I don't think any live action movie/tv-series from any country that tried to go for the westernized hot sexy vampire route has succeeded at making them not cheesy. It works in books and animation, but once you add seeing real actors it falls apart.

Depends on who you consider to be "bad guys". The whole point of the drama is the moral dilemma of the situation. If you're looking for a clear cut right/wrong situation, this is probably not a drama for you.

However, no, people who committed crimes do not get away with it. ... Except for one, kind of.

I suspect she is pretending to be male because the family has no other children.

Anyway, since they revealed this early that master Mo is Bu Qi's real father, I suspect that might not be the truth after all. I'd quite like Ruo Fei and Bu Qi being real siblings, though.

Bu Qi is such a smart bean. I hope the drama lets her keep actively solving the mystery even after the romance kicks in...

I hope it turns out Yura was doing everything she has because she knows the imperial family did something to her fiancé. Not that it excuses what she has done, no way, but the problem with her character so far has been a lack of clear motivation.

To each their own, I see nothing flat or uninteresting about her. She is fascinating, and she has a great deal of depth.

I really love Woo Kyung's character.
She is an excellent portrayal of someone deeply wounded, who has just endured and endured and endured, until finally she just can't anymore.
