I hope we get some information on what caused the riot 10 years ago, and why the masked gang exist in the next…
It would be great if the writers spend a bit of time explaining that straight up. We've so far only gotten name drops and hazy references that it doesn't help demystify what happened then. I'm not keeping this in a spoiler box anymore because it's a premise that each watcher should know.
The uprising they keep referring to is a peasant rebellion which was against unjust taxes that were forced upon by officials. We probably don't remember this but this was one of the many talks that the King and Prime Minister Kim had discussed: tax the people and punish the rebellious. The King was not in agreement with this, but as you and I know, the King's voice was weak against the many court officials monopolized by the Kims.
The masked gang was used in that episode. If you've watched it, you will understand.
Monday please come sooner <3 Anyway I'm so tired of Scarlet Heart fans who continue to come here to say it's…
I have nothing to say about SHR. Thank goodness for your comment. I come here to read comments about Love in the Moonlight. Take a <3 and let's be friends! :*
I don't usually mind age gaps but Kim Yoo Jung is only 16 years old, which means she is a minor while Park Go…
This is understandable. Though the roles that they portray are 19 (Crown Prince - PBG) and 18 (Hong Raon - KYJ). Sageuk drama's handling is chaste/ (**rather**) conservative.
Not also sure if you were aware, KYJ is the sunbae among the main cast when it comes to acting in sageuk/historicals.
lil bit boring, i found scarlet heart ryeo much more interesting than this. But why they loved This drama so much,…
I'm sorry I'm confused now, for which comment was this for again? XD Comparing dramas are fine, judging other people on how they like a drama, I think I agree with you that it's a matter of taste.
Doesn't the main character of this series, the prince, end up dying in real life at the age of 20? Is this show…
It's a fusion sageuk so there are liberties from historical accounts. It's still a sageuk so elements like time/setting/characters are based from history but it takes on other themes like gender-bender etc into it thus the fusion.
Of course we're hoping for this "twist" because it would be a happy ending for the leads.
"However, the way that the plot is told – the storytelling – is quite unique in that the drama takes no qualms in hiding the fact that it is a fusion sageuk drama, that it is very light-hearted with just an undertone of darkness (a sageuk drama simply does not escape palace politics)."

"You like it and see a big deal in it and I respect that. Do I really understand why you see a big deal in it? no, but it is none of my business. It is simply personal taste."
I agree. And sorry if my comment came across as a "lashing out". No, I just thought it was an over-generalization. We enjoy dramas for different reasons.I like this drama for its lightness but it doesn't mean it's shallow which is implied in the previous comment. I like PBG not only because he has a killer smile but he is versatile in acting - again stated in the comment.
So again, please don't assume how one likes a drama. It is a matter of personal taste, like you said. If *one likes a drama over the other, that's fine. *One can go to that drama's thread to express *one's appreciation.
i know this is based on a web drama but there are many kdramas that kinda have the same plot as this one. Still…
Ohgawd, I have so far successfully made it to page 59 of that discussion thread LOL I haven't even introduced myself properly and I just keep on lurking. :P
Could someone please help me explaining what's up with Kim Byeong Yun from the beginning? What's his deal? What's…
Ah well, you will see more on Ep 10. I'll add: Kim Byeong Yeon's grandpa was accused of treason for feeding the poor. He doesn't want Ra On to get hurt, or more clearly, he knows that Ra On doesn't know anything so he is hesitating to tell the Crown Prince or the group of what he has found.

She has a binyeo/hairpin and her attire is similar to that of the Queen's/married woman.
But then again, it doesn't mean that they'd be together! Who knows what the ending will be!
Not also sure if you were aware, KYJ is the sunbae among the main cast when it comes to acting in sageuk/historicals.
They actually have twins. :P
Ok bye now.

So so true!
