It's released! But you need to search for it as Viki isn't really publicizing it.

You can finally watch "Princess's Man" on Viki. I saw it first on DramaFever, waited and waited to find it with Eng subs, and decided to just buy the DVD set. Now that Viki has acquired this and "Uncontrollably Fond," maybe they'll pick up 2 more of my dying to watch again series- "Bridal Mask" and "City Hunter."

Agree it is a great drama. Disagree about Yiren Song. I can't think of many actresses who could pull off the role as well as Song. Do you have a suggestion of who better?

From what I understand, EN3 should be released in 2022. And I would suspect there will be multiple battles, both for power in the realm of man, and for the soul of Sang Sang.

I not only liked this drama, I'm waiting for Season 3. EN2 deals with a changed Ning. He's no longer the swaggering "it's all about me" young man. And that's understandable given what he's gone through- weakened by his fight, dealing with SangSang's illness, finding new purpose now that the revenge that has motivated him all his life has been achieved. Seems like most people were expecting Ning to the same cocky guy, not humbled at all by Sang Sang's sacrifice, and for Sang Sang to be the same, despite the struggle to fight the infusion of a divine adversary. EN2 requires more thoughtful watching.

I would add The Last Princess, The Age of Shadows (aka Age of Darkness) and my favorite, Bridal Mask (though I'm having a hard time finding it again). You might also enjoy Bad Thief, Good Thief. It deals with the lives of the descendants of both the freedom fighters and the Japanese collaborators.

Mother of Kim Gu, Korean independence activist. This is one of the things I loved about this series, and why I hope there's a follow-up series to address this beginning of Korea's fight to become a nation that belongs to her citizens. There are several great series that came out in 2018-2019 as Korea celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the March 1st Movement, when Korea declared her independence. But I would love to see a series that picks up where this one left off.

I loved how the writers worked that in- such a simple thing that packed a punch. Really added to Heonseon's regret at being so anti-West he couldn't bring himself to actually work with Cheon Joong, rather than against him.

I would have liked to see a little more of that closure as well. However, I think the series ended where it should have. I do hope there are plans to do a follow-up series in this same vein that addresses the relationships and conflicts of Heonseon, Queen Min and Gogong, leading up to Min's murder. All of that drama while the Western and Japanese influences are increasing would be an amazing segeuk. And in my perfect world, that would be followed by a 3rd series set during the occupation, bringing back some of those who escaped to the Russia who become freedom fighters. For now, I'll be adding King Maker to my library.

As he said earlier, he thought they had the same goal so would take the same path to reach it. Heongseong had decided to let CJ try and fail at his vision, probably with the expectation that once CJ failed, he'd be back to help realize HS dream. And he may be full of regret for refusing to actually work CJ, rather than letting his hatred for all things Western get in the way.

Updated thank you for the fast subbing of Ep 20 and 21! But I'll admit- part of me wished you hadn't been so quick so I could enjoy a little longer. But now I can binge to my heart's contrent.

I would have liked this drama to keep going, but it actually ended where it was intended. Otherwise, we'd be looking at over a hundred episodes. My hope is another series, picking up where this one left off, is in the works. I know there have been other series- Mr. Sunshine, Different Dreams, even Chicago Typewriter- but very few deal with the relationship between King Gojong and Queen Kim, and the fight between her and Gojong's father.

If you look at the actual history of Joseon, it IS "evil as$hats" taking the country down the road to destruction with the doubling-down on social classes, refusal to accept any new ideas, and the elites looking out only for themselves. However, nothing like the USA. Americans have chosen to be treated "like rugs" in exchange for easy living.

This is the 3rd time I couldn't wait and had to start watching a drama as it was airing. Some day I'll learn because it's so hard waiting for the next episode.

Thank you!!! Needing to wait until the next day for 100% subbed is a very small price to pay for thrill I get watching this drama.

I'm loving Kingmaker as well. I like to socio-political dynamics, and so glad it isn't just a love story with Joseon as a backdrop. It's interesting to me as an American to note that while this story is dealing with their cultural and new king upheavals, we were just ending our Civil War and facing the challenges of uniting our country.

I agree to a certain extent. I see her "love" for her father as an extension of her love for her mother- "this is the man my mother kept in her heart" kind of thing. And when he was eavesdropping on her, I saw it more as a smirk of "who you trying to fool with your caring act." I'm reminded a lot of "The Princess's Man" where he also fiercely hated the woman who betrayed him, but still had her in his heart.

Fortunately, his love of acting wasn't halted by this scandal. I love him in the Chinese movie, "Scent." As far as I'm concerned, this man still has it. If Koreans don't want him, he can come flash that billion-dollar smile in America any time.

Both deal with the King Gojong's father. This series is about getting Gojong on the throne.

It's your choice and your loss. Sad that there are people like you still trying to destroy a person's life and career by attempting to resurrect a failed blackmailing scheme.
