what a beautifully crafted drama, straight to the point and no useless side plots or characters, Loved the two main leads A LOT, they carried the show together equally, no gender specific traits like ML keeps helping FL or something, even their romance was smooth and cute, they went through a lot together and only found each others everytime, reminds me a lot of kdrama my perfect stranger.
what a ride this was, worth every single episode.
The watermelon scene in ep7 hands down the most beautiful scene.
I disagree. Tang Qi IS more of the serious straight man to Su Cheng Cheng's more exuberant personality, and he…
I respect your perspective, I just find tang qi not like that at all, atleast now 8 episodes in and he didn't show any cleverness or warm heartedness at all except at work, I mean the only time he looked at chengcheng is when she did something good at work then he thought maybe he misunderstood her as a person sums up that his whole personality is work, he kept forcefully barging into a women's place like 3 times against their wills, us as viewers we must feel pitiful because of his health problems without understanding his struggles unlike the chengcheng who we were shown her problems and her struggles.
in my opinion who you described fits more zhou sheng chen from forever and ever, he's low EQ but a scientist, he's clever, he plans his actions even with people he doesn't care about, he's honest and warm hearted, or even maybe qing cheng from love my love my voice.
5 episodes in and I'm not feeling this at all, the ML is the most bland person you'll ever see coupled with his very very very low EQ, you'll get a person who can't be described at all, his whole personality is work and not even workaholic. oh and he keeps barging into houses. I just don't understand how two of the most detached persons on earth when it comes to relationship ends up sleeping together because "lol drunk" doesn't make any sense. I guess needed for the plot.
Beautiful crafted drama, the main theme in my opinion is death, how to prepare, deal and get struck by death itself only then to learn how to not get over it but live with it, live with death, I truly believe no matter your religion, culture, ideology or perspective, you'll find some truly well thought written and delivered lines about life and death.
also its beautifully shot drama gives a feeling of an arthouse film sometimes, with a realistic characters and environments, and some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a drama.
BUT sadly the last two episodes the drama went full makjang mode, it was really out of nowhere, it feels like the writer(s) had too many variables and didn't know how to close the story
I'm looking for others like this please?? tyI've seen marry my husband, the glory, my v lethal man and many more.…
check beauty inside and king the land, not 1 to 1 comparison with this but a lot of common how the couple deal with their respective families' problems together
the first half was an absolute masterpiece, too fun, good comedy, action, romance, drama and a lot of interesting stories. the widow village was so well made, the cause the ideology and everything was well executed, its one of the best examples of feminism and human rights done absolutely right, there's no hate to opposite gender but rather its hate directed to ideas and people.
the second half was a clusterfest, the plot advances when someone hears or sees someone by absolute chance, every single big revelation was made by a third party, not a single big confrontation except one and ended in a such a funny absurd way at the cliff lmao. the big climax at the palace was like a battle royale fortenite-esque people people just dropped at the palace and they teleport to other locations while the battle is underway to do their plot tasks. important characters just disengaging from from the thick of the battle easily without a single problem. also imagine being thirdpartied in 1600's joseon lmao, the one irrelevant forgettable character somehow lied and changed the course of the drama and somehow magically absolutely nobody checked if she lied or not. to its credit the wedding was pure comedy
one last thing, in 1600's joseon, archery is scarse and rare, bows are used to the writers' will, if bow and arrow existed in this drama outside of few irrelevant scenes, it would've ended in episode 9 or so.
Side note : the "sismance" between the ML and captain Ssook was the drama's best surprise
A MASTERPIECE of a villain, Kim Cha Eon is such a waste in this drama, he's one of the best villains I've seen, he's ruthless, greedy, powerhungry but rational and adaptive, he changed his plans a lot of times. what made him really good is that he doesn't have total control over the plot like other villains, he was challenged a lot by many sides and lost many times, almost all of his informations were not "heard by mistake" type of things, he stayed true to his character even in the last episodes where usually chaos reigns supremes in dramas and characters lose their existence
Its a waste because most of the political stuff is really boring, by boring I don't mean the events or conversations are boring but not engaging, you'd get the whole intrigue of the scene through the first 2-3 lines the rest is just formal talks between politicians that doesn't add anything.
Also no idea why Gaslighting isn't a major tag here, he was gaslit twice
such a good drama, usally early to mid 2010's drama don't age well, but this aged really well, not over complicated or punches over its weight, starts simple and stays simple.
weird, the first part was so grandiose with many plotlines and a huge overarching story about the war, but the second part is just too tiny in grandeur, its like highschool romance-drama. that whole princess and hunting story could've been the exact same if it was about bullying in highschool lol
the ML not only he carried all of joseon on his back but also the FL, what an absolutely shameless obnoxious FL
somehow when she even was wavering and was about to get married and was engaged even before talking to ryang eum but they made it about him. ryang eum was righ all along he became miserable and pathetic as a person
One day when I'll be on my death bed, there's a very small chance that I uncovered all the world's questions and mysteries, but one thing I'll never uncover is how korean dramas feel the need to absolutely overstuff the last episode with irrelevant guest characters and their storylines especially when you have a lot of loose ends about the main storyline who cares about the gossip women in the village and their love stories, they took like 5 minutes from the ep and not only them.
"we're still in the beginning stages" was said like 10 minutes before the end of the drama sums up what's wrong with korean dramas.
what a ride this was, worth every single episode.

- I know what you're planning
- Alright, What am I planning to do
- I won't tell you, but you'll know it soon
