The tyrant is based on the recorded & distorted history of presence modern world of FL. There's actually a real story behing those present recorded history where that will uncovered by the FL when she went to the past.

He has no one that he could trust even the Queen Dowager, only the eunuch & the royal guard seems like his people. He had to masked behind the reckless, evil tyrant to uncover who had killed his mother. He then was toppled by those ministers who betrayed him & from my understanding, who win a war wiil then write the history.

Im taking this based on drama not any of real korean tyrant etc.

Yup, thanks for this. In kdrama scenes, its kinda a thing ML get more compliments than FL eventhough the FL deserved that equally or even more tbh ie Lovely Runner (But LCM REALLY deserves the love & he rock the role). But Female Leads need to get more LOVE as many cases, THE FL carried the whole drama whilst the man just serves their faces lol.
Yonna really worked hard, she literally learned professional cooking for FEW MONTHS and the director occasionally visited her, showed how much the crew appreciate her role soo much. This drama theme cant be carried without her due to the charcater. even the director said only Yoona can carry this role.

Yup, with this i can say she can venture more non girly typical character. Even her aura is different ie lil bit boyish which i didnt expect at all.

Random but i love the FL real voice. She has a cute face, but an attractive, kinda big voice for a female actress. Her voice projection is very good tbh & not many actresses have this. Reminds me a lot of Bai lu.

I was thinking they are in loop of time but this time the FL changed the history a little bit. The King was willing to suffer & died by the rebel for him to meet her again. Plus, i think he lost his throne & the one who won that wrote the history. Instead him known as the tyrant, she changed by helping him. That's my two cents but i think the manhwa was different

Im happy that they pair the FL with Gil Geum& love that she has a serious role in the plot ie helping the FL adapt in the court. But I cant imagine the sadness if they're seperated.

King had fallen hard over the FL. him throwing the book & made the clown show proved that the King didnt want her to leave but he still didnt realised it yet.

Some wanted main plot on the cooking & politics as sub plots while some wanted the cooking as the subplot. I guess its not the prob with the story since the manhwa centered on cooking so its more to personal preference.
Anyway, all the good testing scenes are super intimate. I need more lol

And the rating is quite high my god, it rached 2 digits. This drama if it can maintain the momentum can win lots of awards. This type of genre will literally catch the interest of older gen if do it right.

The fact that they just stared at each other already gives me tingles does speaks volumes about their acting and chemistry.
Love the ML lots, but the character of the FL courageous, smart, willful, not overreacting that made me hook up to this drama a lot & lot of viewers rooting for her. She is compassionate despite knowing his history.A good looking ML is not enough

wait, what's the rating? Watching ep 4 now i undertsand how Koreans at all age even the older people will love this drama.

wow what a good drama! It reminds me a lot of Dae Jang Geum. Maybe newer kdrama fans might correlate this with mr queen but actually the benchmark of cooking saeguk kdrama is actually Dae Jang Geuml. I guess that's why Koreans love this drama a lot. Im wondering the exact rating since ep 3 quite high.

"I searched for the beautiful women but couldnt find her. Awake or sleep, I missed her. And when I couldnt control it my longing becomen so endless that i could no longer sleeep only rolling around in unceasing yearning."

I forgot that this is the PD of Love from the Star. Okay I've read a post that gave a glimpse of the writing in the book -

A comment from indoctrinised misognynist.

Its just biased towards women when many women ate up when male is older lol. Surprisingly, it's rarely an issue among people when this happens. This just showed how society puts women's values on their age. The FL is not even that old, and the ML is not even that young tbh.

Plus, the original ML case was actually older so the FL has to follow whatever the new ML casted & he did a good job plus he does look mature so he kinda carried the king role. I guess thats why there's sentiment in korean entertainment that once you're 30, you're just an old lady lol

These people are just Hypocrites & always hating women when they are also women. Goblin, My Mister, My Liberation Notes etc.
Im hating these comments about age as if the value of women are on their age. Sadly that's how society is

You describes exactly of their nature of relationship. The women is a successful chef and to have play dynamic with a known tyrant who seems will be falling hard for her.
People are just biased towards women when they're older than male when she's not that old & LCM is not even that young. I mean, if guy is older, women fans just ate that up.

Yes, that's the smart part on the directing of the drama, making both of them at loose ends & establised clearly in the early part of the drama ie FL knew she's in danger, under the control tyrant king known hostorically but needs to go back to her past. Meanwhile ML is tyrant with many underlying secrets yet to be revealed yet showed interest towards the FL. The intensity already here in 1-2 eps.

But, they still wont be establishing their romance at the eraly phase & this is where the push & pull comes ie the passion & spark played.

This is actually a classic formula of older kdramas but director nowdays are not good with it but for this drama, the director was known with good saeguk so it makes sense. Romance genre does need an angst & whatmore saeguk, it should be part of the plot. Cdrama able to rise above kdrama nowadays was one of the factor is they kept this kind of plot in their romance wuxia/xinxia.

You know this feeling of watching kdrama romance; passion, drive, the spark that made you excited for the next eps(red sleeve, moon embrace the sun etc)? This is it. I felt this with older drama cause newer romance kdrama rarely good with romance genre anymore. My god, their chemistry & intensity is sizzling without doing anything! The leads just bickering, not touching or anything but can feel the sparks.

Plus, the whole political plot surely guarantee an angst which is a need for good romance esp saeguk genre. I can see how serious was the director in picking each cast even the small role & the script even with small role is good & purposefull. Now, i just need to complete the whole eps cause the waiting is killing me.

I want to also appreciate the cast esp the girl friend of FL cause from her past projects, that actress could really make you cry a river. She’s not just funny compliments the FL comedic aspect but she will literally cary the angst part when she knew the FL will leave or even making her died in the end.
