Thank you

Where did you watch and did they have english subs? Thanks.

I am looking for this on a safe site with english subs. I watched it a little over a year ago on youtube but that has been removed for copyright.... by Channel3 that has it but it is without subs. Thanks

Thanks. I will give that a try tonight.

Thank you. I see a couple Thai Lakorns coming up, in my near future.

Thanks for the article. Thai Lakorns hardly get any attention.
How many times have you thought “Ugh, great. Yet another rich man/poor woman/weak female lead/arrogant male lead”?
Um, NEVER! I live for that!
I find that I am getting increasingly dissatisfied with Kdramas because they are changing the winning formula that made them so popular to begin with, while trying to incorporate more global values... no wrist grabs(I miss these), more "strong" female lead characters that often come off as unfeeling, unyielding, unsympathetic, unlikable. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate strong female characters. It just feels a little to intentional. Like they are specifically having scripts written to fit this, not like these stories were originally inspired to be that...but I am getting off topic here.
I, too have dropped a lot of kdramas lately. I have been thankful for Chinese dramas since the sudden disappearance of Dramafever, and honestly, a little before then. Ever Night and The Story of Ming Lan were both pretty epic. Watching two cute comedies at the moment: I Will Never Let You Go, and My Amazing Boyfriend 2.
Like you, I hate tragic endings, so I never really watched historical kdramas to begin with. Unlike you, I prefer spoilers, so I can avoid those sad endings.
I did go through a phase of watching Lakorns, maybe a year or two ago. Can't remember what I started with, but I definitely watched Kiss Me and Full House, early on. I am an Itazura Na Kiss super fan. I have watched and loved every version(except Miss in Kiss which was terrible), I could find.(My favorite version is the Taiwanese version It Started with a Kiss/They Kiss again, in case you are wondering. Kiss Me is up there, though. I loved how they changed/added the Thai culture details) I also happen to have loved the orignal version of Full House and I was not at all disappointed with the Thai remake.
I am curious where you are watching them. I stopped watching Thai and Japanese dramas because I got a worm on my old laptop. I assume it came from one of those sketchy sites I was watching Thai and Japanese dramas on. Now I try to be happy with what I can find on youtube, and Viki. Please recommend a safe place to watch them, if there is one :)
Fav. Thai Lakorns (in order of the ratings I gave them. 1 is highest rating )are:
1 Kiss Me Thailand 2015 10
2 Full House Thailand 2015 10
3 Padiwaradda 9.5
4 Cubic Thailand 9
5 Panyachon Kon Krua Thailand 2012 9
6 Ton Ruk Rim Rua Thailand 2013 8
7 Leh Ratree Thailand 2015 7.5

I am actually trying to build up a small library of dramas to watch when our wifi goes down (which is often). So far, I only have The Boss and Me(Chinese) and A Girl and Three Sweethearts(japanese). I chose both of those, just because they are not available to watch on any reputable sites(at the moment). It feels a little redundant paying for something that I can already watch anytime online. ... But this one I would probably buy despite that.

Thank you. I agree, I also thought it seemed like an end. A combo of MDL saying there were more episodes and wishful thinking on my part, since I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters made me have to ask : ) I never could find an episode total, in the drama information, on Viki. Only their current episodes count, that changed daily.

Is 73 the last episode? Above, the ep. count is 79. I watched 73 and it does feel like a nice and sweet ending point.

Is this available to watch anywhere? I didn't see it on Viki.

ooo, so the whole drama is available on Youtube?

I have gone back and forth thinking the actor is a female and thinking eh, maybe it is a guy... I had to look it up to see if the actor was female or male. She is at least androgynous enough that I was not sure. So I would say she is pulling it off.
... I have seen a lot of women dressing as men in dramas, and this is the first time I wasn't immediately sure that it was a girl.

no offense to you Erik, but I hope you have to eat your words later :)

If you eliminate the people complaining about it being slow... because they just don't like slice of life style dramas. (That happens. Some people are only into dramas that cliffhanger every episode and have constant action. Not everyone can watch every genre and judge it fairly)Then eliminate all the people complaining about the leads because they started watching as fans of the actors playing the second leads. (Fangirls/boys are biased and unreasonable by design). Eliminate people that do not like aspects that are historically and period accurate/specific because they do like period pieces/ancient Chinese culture/political /feminist. You are mostly left with comments praising this drama, so far. I haven't read through all of the comments, but I don't think I have seen any saying the acting, writing, or anything about the production quality being bad. ... In the end, all that really matters is if you love it yourself. If you love it, watch it and comment on what you love about it.
IMO: There are plenty of great dramas in every genre to watch. Life is too short to spend hours watching or commenting on a drama you are not enjoying.

I was wondering the same thing too, if he was not hinting he could be a second option? But he is good friends with that guy so... I wasn’t sure. He may have still been think of her as a younger sister type, at this point.

Anyone know what years this story is taking place in and or which emperor this is supposed to be?

I thought that argument they had was pretty cute. He threatened to ask for her in marriage and she said she would become various types of nuns or work a farm before choosing to enter a marriage with him. lol.

Omg, what about this cliffhanger at the end of ep. 22. I will definitely not be waiting for subs to watch ep. 23
Really wish I could find this novel translated somewhere. The furthest I have found is chapter 25... and the events in that chapter have already happened in the drama.

Good Call. I do know they commonly dub Cdramas, but I didn't realize that one had been dubbed. I did look up some youtube videos of him singing and talking... seems like he might have a little deeper voice than I thought. There is some hope..

omg. I would love to see a that clip. Was it long enough for you to get an impression good or bad?
