I wasn't convinced by the first episode, but I'm glad it's the kind of drama that grows on you slowly. It's becoming better and better with each episode. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes now.

Well, unfortunately, it is typically the type of sageuk they mostly do nowadays that I dislike.

It goes from being overly "funny", the characters or the situations (I am usually not amused by what they think is funny though...), to overly dramatical, and it's a constant rollercoaster of different tones and registers, which I find really confusing and totally dislike.
The characters are interesting, but they also make them too stereotypical and the situations too clichéd (especially for the supportive cast).
However, the overall production quality is very good (sets, costumes), just like all sageuk these days. The filming and editing too.
And I'm definitely not disappointed by Choo Young Woo performance so far (he is dazzling in these beautiful costumes !). But I wish it was a more "serious" sageuk.

It's not a bad one, just not what I expected it to be so it's a little bit disappointing.

Sun is a true sunshine. He just had a small role in "Marry YOU", but he totally shines every time he appears. He needs main roles as soon as possible.

He didn't appeared before episode 5, that's why. He will be added to the cast soon.

Lee Sun is a true sunshine. Even with this guest role he is so cool and charming.

"Queen Woo" is a failure because of the bad screenwriter that messed up the story and characters. The sex scenes don't change anything I think. These scenes represent barely nothing if you add them up compared to the whole drama. I think it tells more about the people focusing on it than the story itself.

Yes. ;)

Alert ! The police virtue is on its way...

I just hope it will be better than "Queen Woo", because the screenwriter ruined a potentially amazing story and great cast.
Considering this one is a story told many times already, I hope the new perspective from Queen Won Kyung's point of view will be done cleverly and not just as a "modern feminist" type of drama, which would be totally stupid for a sageuk.

"Programs that receive this rating will almost certainly have adult themes, sexual situations, strong language and disturbing scenes of violence." From the Korea Media Rating Board.

I don't really think it will have the same impact as "Queen Woo", because the cast doesn't have the same aura and popularity as the one for "Queen Woo". So I guess this one will attract less attention and critics, and less attacks from the crazy "virtue police".

Considering the high expectations I had for "Queen Woo", the high deception I had after watching it, and having the same expectations for this one, I'm more than concerned now...
But it's a different screenwriter, so hopefully it will deliver.

Thanks for informing us about it ! It's no surprise that YNK Entertainment didn't promoted him unfortunately, but I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned it yet himself. Maybe when the episode is aired.

One thing for sure, he is quite honest about what he thinks and feels.
That's nothing new for people following him since many years and having read his interviews through his carrer, and that's also why he is so popular and appreciated as an actor.
A Disney prince ? No, Chang Wook is a king, no matter what.

Very good acting, interesting first part (the four first episodes) and characters, but from episode 5 the story development was disappointing for me and the ending quite dull. But it isn't a genre I particularly like usually so it might comes from this too. I think "The Worst of Evil" was better overall. But when it comes to Chang Wook, he was awesome in both roles.

We can't agree. You relativise everything, and that's the problem. You put on the same level a priest using the holy book of his religion and a BL drama production company using quotes of that same book. It's like putting the diagnostic of a doctor on the same level of the one from the local pharmacist... Good for you, but such relativism is not for me.

However, you are absolutely wrong regarding your last point. Catholics do not believe the Bible was written by God.
And it's just confirm my initial comment. People talking about something they don't really know are bound to express total nonsenses.
Maybe your understanding of "Christians" comes from Protestants churches and the way they practise they religion and view the Bible, but don't go generalised what "Christians" are through your biased views on some protestants Christians. They are not representative of Christianity, and certaintly not representative of what Catholics and Orthodoxs believe.

I don't see how all your ranting about the Bible change what I wrote about citations being used out of context. Whatever the book, whatever you stance on it, I think it is wrong to use a citation out of its original context just to serve a different narrative.
I didn't wrote that the Bible was a book written by God and descended from Heavens neither. Of course it is a compilation of different writings from different authors that were more or less witness of what they wrote. The Bible is a testimony. But it doesn't change the fact that these citations, used as they are in this trailer, are a total nonsense.
But to be honest, it's just a Thai BL drama so it isn't surprising.

No, you think I contradict myself because you don't have the same understanding of all that, that's it.
I wrote that using citations of the Bible totally out of context to support a narrative (here homosexual sexual relationship) is wrong. If it was only about love, platonic, there wouldn't be any problem, but the trailer explicitly indicate that it's not about a platonic relationship.
If you really have thoroughly read the Bible, you should know that any sexual relationship that isn't for giving life is strongly condemn. My comment would have been the same if it was about anal sexual relationship between a man and a woman.
Again, my comment isn't against homosexuality, it's about using citations out of context to support a narrative, when these citations, put in their original context, have a totally different meaning and purpose.

The Bible isn't a person, so wording it like this is wrong, but homosexual sexual relationships, just like any relationship that isn't meant to procreate and give live, is strongly condemn in the Bible.
I wrote that using citations of the Bible totally out of context to support a narrative is wrong, it's not the subject of the drama in itself.

I would agree, if the trailer didn't already show the signs of a sexual relationship, thus, it's not just about love anymore.
