The legendary Hong Gil-dong was a thief with supernatural abilities. The title makes sense to me.

He could, but he left already, and he still doesn't know who she was married to. The marriage contract was between her father and Lord Im. She went along with it after she found out, so she is not a burden to her father. Filial piety was everything in that era.

The writer left a window open for the marriage to be annulled. Let's wait and see what happens.

Parents had the legal rights to accept or reject a marriage proposal. Marriage was between families not individuals.

It had better rating in Korea than SFD.

Woot! Finally.

Yes, wedding ceremonies are just formality. She put her hair up and she was in mourning attire so she is technically a widow.

That's Confucianism for you. Social order was a big deal, but dramas took it to a different level. 😅

It's self-loathing. Eun-jo is living freely as a lowborn while his origin as a son of a lowborn gisaeng is kept a secret. He is no better than Eun-jo in rank. He is a fake noble, and it's eating him up inside.

Her father is a highborn nobleman and was once a respected 1st or 2nd senior rank in the king's court. "His excellency" is how she or anyone would address an official with that high rank. She does the same with Minister Im.
Her mother is a lowborn slave, a servant and a concubine, although she seems to be running the household in the absence of the main wife. She calls her mother for she has no rank and she has a close relationship with her.
Her brother is the legal heir and she is the illegitimate daughter of a lowborn deemed unworthy of calling him her brother. He is younger-master to everyone else including her.

Worth watching for Yoo Hae-jin and his character, Heung-do, has not been featured in a film before.

Infernal Affairs (Hong Kong)

He was sentenced to one year in prison for illegal drug use. He can be a damn good actor and admits he makes mistakes.

Get better first, then work after.

Limited release in the US on Christmas day. Wide release Jan 2026.

Disney+ is so frustrating; they don't do a good job promoting their shows. With Netflix, you can see the shows that are trending and the new shows they just added. Plus, they have 3 times the # of subscribers.

What I'm saying is that if all three were streaming on Netflix, then the outcome would be different.

It would a different story if all 3 were competing on Netflix.

He did call the police on the way to her place, but he couldn't figure out her address.

Because it's not a brainless fluff.

Yoo Dong Geun and his charisma elevated every historical characters that he portrait.

She doesn't know what love is.
