I already feel sorry for Jeong Hyuck's character haha, but I'm glad to see him debut as an actor too, especially in such drama. And I hope we will hear him sing too (there is no way it's not happening).

Yes, same here. None of the actors is bad, but none of them made me invested in the story too after the two first episodes. There is nothing to criticise about the production so far, the reconstitution is very good but yes, I'm not "drown" into it.

Of course, revenge is not a genre, none of them has it as a genre, not even "The Glory" or "Taxi Driver" that you consider the only revenge dramas. Revenge is only a theme and a plot or aspect of a drama. This list is based on the "revenge" tag for dramas here, that's it. But it shows that wheezythew8ve's point is correct.

Only two in two years ? No, far from it. You may have a personal definition of revenge drama that is more restrictive, but here are all the dramas with a revenge aspect and it's far from just two: https://kisskh.at/search?adv=titles&ty=68&co=3&th=370&so=newest&or=desc&page=1

The trend for revenge dramas in Korea the last few years, which is indeed true.

There is no mention of it being an action drama. It's announced as a revenge drama, that doesn't automatically mean action. There are plenty revenge and thriller drama that don't have much "action".

Edit submitted as it is a drama, not a movie.

The story was a bit silly, but Parker Mao and Hsiao Hung sure have an amazing chemistry and know how to deliver passionate kisses.

Choo Young Woo in a sageuk ? Big YES ! And the plot is interesting. If it's not a rom-com sageuk it might be very good.

Off to a very good start.

Yes, I expect a lot for "Queen Woo", I hope it will not disappoint. We will also have "Goryeo-Khitan War", that start just next weekend. This one looks very promising too.

I agree. As I wrote, it will be interesting to see this story told from Queen Wongyeong's point of view for once. I actually look forward to it, she was indeed one of the most political queens of Joseon and her actions, as well as her family, played a big part int the events at that time. It's just that, considering the few number of serious sageuk (meaning not rom-com) released every year, it's kind of disappointing to have one more sageuk about this period and these characters so soon, when there are countless other historical periods and characters ignored so far that could be portrayed too.

It's annoying that they keep doing such romances, where the feelings of the characters are obvious, and their actions too, but they keep making them misunderstanding and saying things they don't think, or assume things with the other not denying it immediately. I really whish they would stop that.
Of course it's needed at the start to add some frusrtration and build the relationship, but when all the drama is based on that, and to make things resolved only in the last episode, it's kind of annying for me. Especially when, like this one, the characters are good, the actors, story, developments and production quite good too.

It is probably because of their more intimate and bashful relationship to feelings that Japanese romances always seem deeper and on another level compared to those produced in other countries for me. The relationship to aesthetics is also different. Of course it wouldn't hurt to have more natural and passionate kisses more often haha, but as usual, the only fault I find in this drama is its format, much too short.

It looks quite fun, it should be a simple, nice and funny drama to watch.

Visuels, trailers, the more they share the more I'm excited about this sageuk. Just 10 more days to wait.

It was an average one for me. Didn't bring anything new to the previous multiple dramas and movies about the same subject. Not bad, but not good either for me. The last good epic sageuk I have watched is "My Country: The New Age" in 2019, and this one was very good, I love it.

So in the end, yes, we totally agree haha. Desserts ? There is a whole special menu only for the best exquisite "gâteaux" and "pâtisseries". ^^

You can wrote your comment differently. It's only your opinion, and many would disagree with it. It's not that hard to write "for me" or "in my opinion" instead of writing like you state a fact or a general truth.
"After that, it went all downhill for him" That's just totally wrong as he gained much more popularity since then (it was seven years ago...) and is still very busy with projects, but suits yourself if you want to believe so.

Well, I agree with you overall, however the thing is that the "viewers" aren't a homogeneous thing. Of course they are free to choose what they like and want to watch, but in that case many "viewers" who are focused on his pre-2017 works are especially loud to voice their preferences (here in particular), when it has already been seven years, and that his growing popularity and new works prove that, in fact, other viewers are okay with most of his choices, or at least still watch his projects even if they can dislike some.
You wrote "If he were not getting the roles he wants, it's because the viewers don't want it. And that's their choice, not his!" That's not the case, and through his interviews Ji Chang Wook always explained in details why he choose to play a character, hoping that the viewers would see why he wanted to play this character and what he tried to do through his acting. Hoping, not expecting or focusing on what viewers would think. In the end he choose for himself, that's why I think that the ones that only focus on past action roles should move on.
You like to use metaphors (me too ^^), so for me doing this is like protesting in front of a restaurant because they don't do the dishes you liked anymore, despite others liking the new ones just as much as the old one that is no longer served and the restaurant still being profitable and have new customers with this different menu. People are free to do so of course, that just seems a dumb thing to do for me.
As for his role of Park Joon Mo, despite being part of the action type, he clearly stated why he still wanted to do it considering the psychological and moral conflits of the character and the overall script of the drama.
