I didn’t realise this was historical genre, I’m so sad I was looking forward to this cast
It's set in 1945, so a historical drama, but not a sageuk in the way you would refer to a Joseon-era drama. The costumes seem quite low-key, so you may not notice the period setting much.
According to this recent naver article this will be 16 episodes and will come out in the second half of 2024.…
I don't think it's gonna be a romcom. Nothing about the synopsis makes it sound like a comedy. I'm pretty sure it's just an error and that it'll be melodrama/life like APS's previous work. The comments from the actors upon confirming their appearance also seem to support this.
Inside MBC's board room: "Okay, so hear me out. We'll release this awaited drama with these very popular actors with just one episode per week. But wait! We'll also premiere it at a time where we know that the programming will be disrupted, instead of holding it, so it'll be like one episode every other week. What could go wrong?"
It will be branded as an original, because it will be distributed on Netflix internationally. But it is an SBS Friday-Saturday drama in Korea. It's not produced by Netflix, and it will be released weekly, not all at once.
It is worth 9.0 if that's what people have given it on average. Your opinion does not count more than that of…
It counts as her opinion, but her view of what the drama "deserves" makes no difference to the thousands of people who have given this drama the rating it currently holds.
This is not Worth 9.0Enjoyable drama is not equal to quality.
It is worth 9.0 if that's what people have given it on average. Your opinion does not count more than that of the the roughly 4,000 people who have rated the drama so far. Shocking, I know.
'Stunning transformation' from someone who looks like Song Kang to, um, someone who looks like Song Kang, but…
You say that, but I've seen way too many comments saying "Oh, I barely recognized him" just because he has a different haircut and slimmed down a bit for the role.
It's baffling to me that they didn't just postpone the premiere to November 15 and air two episodes a week from then without interruptions, rather than this ridiculous schedule they're doing now.
Where are u guys watching this ? Myasiantv subs r so bad .
There are no proper English subtitles available yet. Those who don't understand Korean and have watched it, will have watched it with gibberish auto-generated subtitles.
Netflix Korea releases 4 episodes every Thursday. MDL says 10 episodes for some reason, but it's released as 20 half-hour episodes. So five weeks of 4 episodes every Thursday. 8 out so far.
this drama is very fun and its not an incredible drop in quality but the writing definitely fell off in episode…
So your issues are not really with the writing, but that you want the drama to be something else. The male lead is Eungyeol, the female lead is Eunyu, so of course the focus is more on them.
Loved the first half of this drama. Then the usual sageuk politics took over in the second half, which is always the same in every Joseon drama and you know those schemes won't succeed so what's the point. That said, the ending was good (good riddance Premier Kim), so overall I quite liked this! Great cast.
