Boring and repetitive.
The last 3-4 filler episodes, with all the monologues delivering philosophical junk while we saw flashback scenes again and again and the dialogues about the past - again with flashback scenes - were utterly boring. I fell asleep several times in front of the screen. Yes, they had to wrap up the second leads' story, but they could have done that much sooner, without all the bla bla between the leads, and the cringe unfunny part about events gone wrong.
It could have easily had two or more episodes less, would have benefitted by a tighter edit.

Exactly. The FL didn't walk or talk in such a girlish manner and he makes her to be, she had a decisive gait and a strong personality. This also means that there's not a great difference when she's acting like a man.

It was first addressed in Secret Garden. One even told the other not to shower or go to the toilet - but it was because they thought it wouldn't last long. And the man replied "Not that there's anything much to look at", and she self-consciously brought her hands to her chest. LOL.

In other dramas this was solved by the prince disappearing with his beloved away from the palace and counted as dead.

It's never old. It's the only drama that I rewach every few years.

Oh, you are so kind to write such a ladylike reply to that comment.

Men who had happy marriages tend to re-marry fast, they cannot bear being alone.

"Lately"? I've been watching k-dramas since 2008 and it happens so often! Just think of Jackpot. Bluebird's House. "Something in the Rain". And soooo many others.

For most.

When I first saw her with those almost Dumbo ears, I thought she had cartilage injected into them to make them more prominent, as I know that it's the fashion right now in Korea and China (which is absurd, they look terrible, and in my country people who are born like that go and have an operation to get them put closer to their head). Because supposedly big protruding ears make the head look smaller, that for them it's supposedly better. My cat has smaller head than normal and (although I love her to bits) I don't think it's beautiful at all, every part of the body should be in good proportion to the rest, like ancient Greek statues show us.

Yes, we cannot put explanatory notes on Viki anymore when we edit the subs because of the new 100-character limit. It's very frustrating for us too.

Weeeelll... We all know at least two methods for actresses to get projects. One is using your body and the other using your family or political connections.

이운 --> Yi Yun*
김우희 --> Kim Wu Hui

(or Li Yun, as for this surname usually an exception is made in subtitles)

I don't know why everyone doesn't adopt RR so we're done with it! With the possible exception of the 5 most common surnames, because of usage: Li, Kang, Choi, Park, Kim.

How to ruin a perfectly good drama with a LOUSY last episode.

We like masala dramas with a bit of everything. Seriousness, fun, romance, suspence, all together. I prefer it that way. If it also had song and dance like Bollywood movies, it would be perfect.

Somehow like Romantic doctor Kim. The main lead is the same sort of person (someone with a big heart who doesn't do things by the book but in his own style); a bit less formal, but same style. There's more humour than in that drama, though, although it has its tragic moments. And less blood and gore of course.

They were focusing on the "why hang important matters on the competition" (which is also a concern, but a different one). What I'm saying is they should have thought that the main rule of judging was completely absurd. Competitions of any kind should have judges with no conflict of interest, that's the ABC of competitions. Also they have an odd number (3,5 etc.), so that there is no possibility of a tie. A serious writer would have found another way to make a competition foul.
If webtoons have ridiculous plot holes, that's their fault, I suppose.

That was just an example from the episode I had just watched.
What about the cooking competition's main rule, that the two competing nations rate each other's dish? How absurd is that? Of course you will give a bad score to your rival, even if you liked the dish more.

We mean realistic within the boundaries of the time-travel premise. Even science fiction, even fantasy create a world and then, within that world, there are realistic rules that have to be followed.
In this case, for instance, they go get a special item for the competition with very little time to spare, but they choose to go on foot when there are perfectly good horses available (someone comes to get them back and they get back to the palace on horses). And the king takes only two men to protect him, instead of a whole guard concealed in the woods looking out for him.
And many, many little absurdities like that.
