Here's a thought. What would it take to rehabilitate KSH?
He has been a part of some of our favorite shows: Dream High, Moon Embracing the Sun, My Love from the Star, The Producers, Its Ok Not to be Ok, One Ordinary Day and finally my beloved Queen of Tears.
Try rewatching them. Maybe somebody out there will notice that he still has some box-office appeal.
Although it would probably take a worldwide rewatch of QoT to move the needle, I suppose.
I wish that all the people who attacked KSH online over and over again based on false evidence, which over and over again has been proven to be false, could be locked up somewhere to 'self-reflect' on their own culpability in this horrific mess. An actor's career is pretty much over.
And what makes me angrier is all of these ****s out there will go silent or claim it wasnt them who wrote those comments, and then go on to some other false rumor.
Is an actor declining a role news? Why Park Ji Hoon? Famous actors decline roles every year and articles are not written about it. Is this article looking to provoke derogatory comments about PJH? Such as I see below?
This is an original, a great drama. Only being watched in SK, I might add. That would be on netflix and on regular cable. And by all of the MDL souls on this thread.
I suppose it will eventually become a classic like this writers other works? Anyway it feels odd to be watching, so convinced of the show's worth, and then to find its just us and South Korea.
Already seated for the show; these supporting actors will bring the show (heck, any show!) to a higher level, if thats possible, given the 3 actors in the main cast..
Cont. with the noble households...the Chens and others try to hide any malfeasance whatsoever. Fourth Brother turns out to have been a juvenile murderer? Curtail his career. His son will be held back? Adopt him into a different branch. Now Fourthg brother plots to sell the new wife in the household into slavery? Send him off to Shanxi (which isnt that far away) to be scolded by Second Brother... So the place is a nest of snakes. What is JinZhao expected to do?
I wondered how the series would move JinZhao from the household and shop into court politics. It was obvious that her capabilities had to be showcased, and I am sort of happy that the ladies-stay -out-of-politics-and-run-your-nice-commercial-enterprises bit is being somewhat eroded.
So the show has taken on a slight edge of realism. RE running the household, outside of being a businesswoman in the fantasy female-centered tropes, there is the plot where most of the household is killed off by various poisons or the one where the new lady manages to overturn the old and become the matriarch -- in itself like running a small business.
Not sure where they will take the 'I can gather useful court political info from the noble ladies' social events' -- after all the women-only Linxia Studio is still in the works.
But I think that the FL is taking the third way in the (very noble) household trope -- navigation and making allies. Interesting to me at least, in that it involves lots of info and discussion about real-politik in the Ming/Qing (?not sure, the skirt and tunic, arent they closer to the late 18th?).
I thought this cdrama will not have those stupid male character who are unnecessary obsessed with FL . But here…
It cheers me up to rant about guys like that in fiction -- that guy who just really didnt hear what you said and keeps coming around -- ack, bad bad memories. Good to get them washed and rinsed out.
We need those fictional villains and idiots, to rant about. Sorry.
ep29 In a republic with a legislative body it usually spells the end when the ruler devises a military body which answers only to him.
Perhaps in the imperial government this is a good idea for a semi-regency. The ministers only advise and consent after all. We are missing the usual conniving princes in this story however. Maybe they will emerge now?
Ep28 beginnings of the rest of the show? 12 happy eps to go.
I am a bit spoiled myself, so I was happily satisfied at all the undercurrents swirling through the wedding banquet -- apart from XuanQing (the nephew) starting to make trouble. It will take some unpacking -- I didnt even recognize all the future troublemakers. Excellent writing, once again.

This show is a gift.
