Lmao I think it’s too late to ask director that when they all completed their filming
I'm just talking gibberish into the air anyways lol It's not like the director would ever even check MDL, much less my comment but yes, thank you for pointing that out 😂
omg I was thinking that too lol and the way he walks when he got mad on the way to the office 😭😭😭 had…
Omg don't get me started on his walk 😭 It's soooo awkwarddddd 😭
Him trying to walk in like a boss all suited up with the gelled hair, complete with the serious expression, but it all just goes to waste cause I end up laughing at his hunched over shoulders and bent neck 💀 Like I'm sorryyy, but I can't take you seriously when you walk like a literal ahjusshi 😂
Not to mention how it gets worse when it's a side-profile view 💀. Like you CANNOT convince me that the director saw that shot and was like "Yeah, he looks DOPE in that shot! The female viewers are gonna be crying over him". Like yes sir, we are crying, but for all the wrong reasons! You ruined the man's image 😭😭
Right???? 😭I just got some really strong nostalgia for this series and then thought of mimi (our cult leader)…
Omg, don't sweat it! I really wasn't an active participant in conversations until much later on anyways! I was more so the type to sit on the sidelines and watch the chaos unfold lol
So true!!! Oh what I wouldn't do to get the gang back together and let the shenanigans begin once again 🥹
I didn’t notice it so far but it was very pronounced in this ep 😭😭 i empathise tho cause my brother is…
I used to be jealous of tall people (coming from a humble 5'4" human) but now, maybe, I'm ok being on the shorter side... It's kind of sad that taller people have to constantly hunch over to use common things or to accommodate shorter mortals 🥹 I feel for your brother, all the best to him in flaunting that height!
I must say, the actress playing Jung Soo Min is doing a really good job bringing her character to life cause I'm reallllyyyy starting to hate her. I've read the webtoon, and yeah I disliked her there too, but seeing her character playing out in the drama is just next level evil.
She really deserves what she got in the webtoon, if not more
I love Na In Woo, but with all due respect, his posture is really taking me out here 😂 Like I get you're tall and that it might just be a habit to hunch over to not seem imposing to others in real life but his bad posture in the drama just irks me so much ughhhh
Director-nim, please please PLEASE straighten out his shoulders at least when shooting to make him appear more confident and threatening. Please 🙏I'm begging you 🧎♀️😭
Omg i just remembered our sacred Vegas cult, dayum the good old times...I miss it so much😭My old golden gang:…
Right???? 😭
I just got some really strong nostalgia for this series and then thought of mimi (our cult leader) so I came to the comment section to see how everyone was doing. I still remember how we all camped in the comments after every episode and even before the series started, just obsessing over the characters lol
Not to mention how this comment section has the most comments I've ever seen for a drama on MDL. We were OBSESSED obsessed 😭
you're so real for the Mr. Queen one cause at least the original explicitly hints that he liked the king
Huh... I swear all novel writers are just fan-fiction writers that hit it big lmao Cause what is that plot? He's not spooked and nor does he try to get a Talisman or something? And he instead, what? tries to keep the females around the "Queen" away from him. So he could have all his attention I'm assuming? Lmao, fruity indeed 🤭
yup.. we have years of her acting.. she can't act to save herself.. i am waiting for feedback before i start..…
As for being objective, I AM being objective lol
I literally stated all the points where she performs well. As for you not liking her, that's subjective (on your part). You literally said "base it on their own perception of her 'acting' .. for me she has never been good"
That's YOUR perception, meaning it's subjective, so don't go around preaching about objectivity when you don't even know what it is.
yup.. we have years of her acting.. she can't act to save herself.. i am waiting for feedback before i start..…
Ok....?
I was literally just asking u a genuine question? And like you said, I was stating my opinion just like you did in your comment (if you don't want others to start a conversation about your likes and dislikes, simply don't comment in public comment sections? Especially if you can't answer respectfully). There's really no need to be that aggressive
We're all here to watch some good series and relax.
As for delivering emotions, I think she does it very well (that's my opinion, just like you have yours). Also, fyi, she's not some overhyped actress that has fans just from how popular she is. She has fans because of her remarkable performances in the series she's taken part in. As for me, I'm just a casual drama watcher and appreciate whoever performs well on screen (pretty rude of you to judge others to be "drooling in fan fetish" just because they happen to have an opposing opinion to yours).
I was actually introduced to SSK through 'Run On' and really liked her there. We all have our opinions but don't go around shoving them in everyone's faces lol. You don't like her? Just skip her scenes or something. There's literally no need for you to be wasting your energy on replying to EVERY SINGLE comment defending her.

Haven't read the novel so I can't comment on how well they managed to express "Mr. Queen's" emotions but I'll take your word for it :)
I honestly had higher expectations for the handling of the ending because the directors made a good point of showing Bong Hwan's panic in having to kiss another dude. Like his character was definitely questioning itself, as to whether he liked the king himself or it was the queen's feelings being projected on him (which to me is total bull because then he would've had those feelings for the king since the moment he switched bodies).
But yeah, it was a nice comedy, with a good budget and ok plot. The real stars were the actors and their competitive tendencies. Especially the royal cook and Mr. Queen lol. You just knew something was about to go down whenever those two showed up on the screen together
Yes I agree. They can make Jin Han bisexual! That would be great. He can like men & women 🤭😌 He’s a royal…
Exactly my point! He's a prince, if anyone were to have the luxury of being in a homosexual relationship, it'd be him cause the royal officials would do everything in their power to keep it a secret! I loved how they portrayed that in 'A Frozen Flower' (not the movie itself, but the whole situation of how many knew about the king being gay but said nothing).
Oh wow! I didn't hear anything about Jeong Nyeon so thank you for recommending it! A chance to see Kim Tae Ri in another GL after 'The Handmaiden'? Sign me tf up!
haha yes:(( it was a bit different in King's affection I'd say, the ML was kind of worried(?) about the fact that…
It's honestly been a while since I finished that drama so my memory isn't the best but I do remember being very disappointed with how poorly they handled the ending and the sexuality crisis of the (fe)male lead.
just go on kisskh and most of the dramas listed on the main page are one gender love stories, plenty represented
I've used that site plenty and do appreciate the content we get from different countries about M X M and G X G relationships but I was just talking about the blatant erasure of some very obvious emotions that come with being attracted to the same gender in more mainstream dramas. While I do love the spotlight that these pairings get in their own sub-genre, I'd also like to see more directors making an active effort in not treating homosexuality as something "different". It's love. They could try incorporating gay side-couples or same gender love-interests once in a while.
Some dramas do that very seamlessly, even though at times very subtly. I'd include Move to heaven, Nevertheless, Love with flaws, Chief Kim, The Devil Judge (cause u CANNOT convince me that a person would just go LIVE at their head judge's home, cook for them, and have crazy amount of tension in every eye contact UNLESS there was something more going on - can u tell I'm obsessed?) and Reply 1997 (with an ACTUAL CONFESSION????). Like adhskshfdasklfjas
I just think it's a bit insensitive to be still using the same cross-dressing trope and not shedding light on the actual hardships or confusion that comes with being in a situation where you fall for someone of the same gender (especially in the Joseon Dynasty)
yup.. we have years of her acting.. she can't act to save herself.. i am waiting for feedback before i start..…
Why is it that you think that she "can't act"?
She delivers the emotions well, her expressions are good (way better and suited than the average "one expression fits all" male leads), her tone is good, the characters she portrays suit her. So I don't get where the hate is coming from?
What exactly is it that you think she doesn't do well?
It's not like the director would ever even check MDL, much less my comment but yes, thank you for pointing that out 😂
It's one of my fav. dialogue's from the series and I'm so glad they used it here!
It's soooo awkwarddddd 😭
Him trying to walk in like a boss all suited up with the gelled hair, complete with the serious expression, but it all just goes to waste cause I end up laughing at his hunched over shoulders and bent neck 💀

So true!!! Oh what I wouldn't do to get the gang back together and let the shenanigans begin once again 🥹
It's kind of sad that taller people have to constantly hunch over to use common things or to accommodate shorter mortals 🥹
I feel for your brother, all the best to him in flaunting that height!
But yeah, Pang (the cat) is going to very helpful in the coming episodes lol
But idk how helpful it's gonna be cause the drama is not really following all the events that happened in the webtoon
So tell me, what do you want to know?
She really deserves what she got in the webtoon, if not more
Like I get you're tall and that it might just be a habit to hunch over to not seem imposing to others in real life but his bad posture in the drama just irks me so much ughhhh

Even if it was how things happened in the Joseon Dynasty, it doesn't make it "right". We know better now, and can call out the creepy act.
And "gentleman"? Lmfao, miss me with that bs
So the king knew in the novel? Now that makes things interesting...😏
