s1 was a bit dark and serious but s2 was on the note of wang dao ji's case from s1, I laughed a lot this season. I loved the fighting scenes in s1 and the car action in s2. both seasons have pros n cons so my rating is equal for both.
a bit biased on s2 bcz of shin jae ha.. he's literally 'if evil why hot?' that scene of him with blood on his face at the black sun was straight out of an anime.. unreal! him and lee je hoon could sit there doing nothing and I'd thoroughly enjoy it.
what I really disliked tho was the product placements like I get it but enough of the protein drinks, koppiko, heath drinks and beer like why did the last scene have to be a commercial?? boo
He was one the greatest Kings during that time.YAI did an outstanding job portraying his character.His Father…
idk in depth about the real historical figure's personality. in the drama he was an antagonist to me, the actor did a good job conveying this. everything was sambong's idea to begin with. from the beginning, sambong's ambition was the ppl, the royalty wasn't his priority and everyone knew that, yet suddenly bang won didn't like it? he got shocked and offended when he learnt the new royal family won't have absolute power. at the start bang won never even dreamt of becoming royalty let alone a king, so I couldn't sympathise with his craze. bang won was never out of sambong's big plan, he was just not the main character and bang won didn't like that. as much as he admired sambong, he was jealous of him. excluding the romance, I did enjoy the drama too. I also watched the sequel. I watched it on viki.
Here a regular Manhwa/ Webtoon/ Korean comic reader, I can say the plot is not good , honestly not as much good…
I'm an avid manhwa/webtoon reader and I agree, I had the same feeling. I'm surprised they didn't adapt webtoons like Insoo's Law which is pretty popular and the kdrama could easily stick to the original. I love sageuks so I'm interested in how this one will turn out.
I REALLY don't want it as a sageuk. This webtoon and novel NEEDS to be in its ' original European and Russian…
hallyu isn't diverse for a european ambience setting, it'll look odd.. a full korean cast in victorian clothes.. maybe if the story was modernised they could get away with it. I think that's the main reason they switched it to sageuk.
Ops I just noticed I forgot to add 'lead' next to 'female' 🤦♀️ by 'fl centred' I meant the focus is more on the fl than ml (which it is! bcz of her ability and she's in every season unlike the rest of the cast!) Ikr it feels like 4 years ago lol The Good Detective does look like smth I'd like, thanks!
the pacing is so bad for binge watching.. serious event after another, pretty exhausting no breaks, it really got on my nerves!
I really dislike the ml Lee Bang Won (he's a psycho in a non hot way) he was kinda ok at the beginning but later?? I couldn't empathise with him unlike with Sam Bong (to me he's the real ml) also I don't understand how fl liked Bang Won until the bitter end he wasn't all that and there wasn't much between them to begin with (unlike the king and cheok sa kwang now that was real love!).
Fl character towards the end was quite disappointing, absolutely useless unlike the other girls (that cheok sa kwang fight with both bang ji and moo hyul?! wow!)
imo it could've been interesting if they had fl with Moo Hyul towards the middle.
I loved Gil Tae Mi's character! him, Moo Hyul and Bang Ji are lost potential.. they're my fav characters along with Sam Bong. In last ep I wish they showed timeskip of Bang Ji.
yes, I'm quite a fan of it. yes, 4 seasons so far, each season 16 eps or less. some seasons are better than the others but still good imo bcz I tend to like female centred dramas which are quite rare in thriller dramas
