im sesame

I feel Mr Lee might be an antagonist

oh na ra is crazy lol

I tried but couldn't find it :( ig I have to hope it gets licensed somewhere

where did u watch it?

the humour kinda gave me gintama vibes lol

I couldn't find it on viki :(

my thoughts are exactly like the 2nd review. I gave it a 6.5/10 tho

u can watch it on prime if u have access

I've watched many sageuk but throughout this one ironically I felt the story is from a korean male traditionalist pov

I really really hope the new season won't disappoint us cuz I loved s1

the ones I like are a bit on the older longer side with a strong female lead.

-Queen Seon Deok (2009)
-Dong Yi (2010)
-Bridal Mask (2012) [under japanese rule era] a newer one from the same
era Mr Sunshine (2018)
-Empress Ki (2013)
-Goddess Of Fire (2013)
-The Flower In Prison (2016)

you're very welcome!

for me it was watchable, not necessarily boring, just not satisfying for me.
it had a lot of potential but something definitely happened during filming, turns out the female lead actress got injured at that time.

she went to the palace to protect him not the other way round.

male lead didn't want her to serve in the palace because (historically) once a girl (no matter her age) starts serving, she becomes the king's woman, even if he doesn't sleep with her she can't get married.

I rated it 7/10
it's an ok show with some good points but nothing outstanding for me. tbh I couldn't relate to many of the reviews

I didn't know it's popular until I finished the show
I'm actually surprised ppl are rating it very highly, didn't expect that.

it's funny how the director tryna sound deep but they probably just anime fans
like wdy mean white serpent with white hair bro u just finished boruto or smth

it's an adaptation from a webtoon so it has the shonen cliches.
at first it reminded me of Gokusen. I really like the cast and the acting was good, it's what made me finish the show. I'm glad there are female characters, and they aren't useless which tends to happen in this genre. it's an ok show but not a 10/10 for me

idek why I watched the 3 movies lol
not worth it tbh

I almost thought the twins might be real siblings lol
they kinda look alike in the drama
ji woo reminds me of hwang in yeop and her brother of kim woo bin

I love when he's in saeguk

apparently they wanted to film more in vietnam but the whole crew got ill so they had to cut their journey short. some of the vietnam scenes were actually filmed in korea.
