My first Ming era romance. Very flowery, but colored clothing too bright? carriages look great. Apparently Early Ming. So not as hideously neo-Confucian as later? I dont really see any particular difference in the way women speak and are treated yet --from the Song or the Qing that is.
Everyone loves episode 5. Just to add my little favourite scene to the growing list of great lines and scenes, all of which I also loved; Mi-Ran the actress venting at how to do method acting on one more moronic female role.
I really had a good time watching this! What is a good Chinese costume drama without multiple poisonings and suicides? So absolutely Gothic. Some like horror for the same ridiculous feeling of liberation amidst the makjang. Incest too, lost siblings, motherless children, such a pile up! And then with that last minute time-jump and a nod to all the female generals out there, the FL goes out to find herself and comes back after maing lots of money and learning how to fight. So crAZY.
I'm really glad to see that the courts are taking action on this kind of thing. There have been several cases…
People need to learn that the same rules apply to posting as to all forms of public speech. Defamation and slander are crimes, civil ones?, I guess. Once that fact sinks into the regular person's consciousness we wont have so many nasty cases of harassment of our actors who work so hard.
Although I like the idea of her starting her own production company away from all the toxic colleagues, I wouldn't…
True although I am sure that the mother could probably doll up an investment somehow to make her look better in the public eye -- nothing so criminal as an actual threat. It is a reality that the mom behaved horrifically and that Eun Ah is so damaged that she hasnt been able to figure out what to do about it. Just a word to a reporter and Mom is toast. No threat, a reality. It is on the mom to fix that, not Eun Ah. A big fat apology is needed, and money always helps.
Ep4 I was thrilled when Hye-Jin said firmly to Eun Ah's ex that he must either credit his female writing partner as a co-writer on his script, or get explicit permission not to do so.
Hye-Jin didnt know she was talking about Eun Ah. She, as the head of a production company, was clearing any potential legal problems in advance. He tried to bluster his way out of it and she very crisply told him that anybody in the business could tell which parts his friend had written.
I hadnt been listening to his name when Eun Ah had pretended to her grandmother that they were still dating. So I was surprised when I realized who he was mid-meeting with Hye-Jin. But terribly thrilled at how succinctly and matter-of-factly the matter was dealt with.
I have really liked both Hong Min Ki's and Shin Ye Eun's work lately. Not sure what LJW needs to put out a better fperformance lately but hope he has it here. He is one of the seniors in this group. Hope all has gone well for everyone in production. Looking forward to getting to know Lee Soo Kyung and Kim Yoon Woo.

What a brat! The FL staring so shamefully boldly at the 3rd Master. Does it make it better or worse that they will be the main CP?
Definitely shades of Zhao Lusi. The badly brought up character. Drinking from the pot -- 3x shots of that. The turtle was more interesting.
Great, just great.
Just speaking the truth is so liberating.

I would like Eun Ah to somehow blackmail her horrible mother for enough money to start her own production company.
