I didn't, but I was shaking my fist when this whole speech about woman who helped the Crown Prince and suffered so much happened and it turned out they meant Ga Eun.

she upgraged to 2nd female lead in Queen for Seven Days! :)

everyone's saying how great the main three is, but can we have a shotout for Go Bo Gyeol too? I never paid attention to her before Goblin (although I spot her now in some other positions I have marked), but she's pulling segeuk quite well. I'm pleasantly surprised with her.

/but I came to ask, can someone recommend to me something with Lee Dong Gun? I only saw him in Marry Him If You Dare (not very good) and Gentlemen of Wolgyesoo Tailor Shop (weekend/family drama, not my thing). Is there anything worth watching down his list?

I draw a wicked sense of satifaction from the fact that a canonical scene of being immersed in something and looking pretty when someone falls for the heroine turned out to be posed.

The Moon in the sky is the face of my dearest
Who cut my dearest's head and hung it up there?

What a surprisingly Christopher Carrion-esque tidbit.

I'm wondering the same thing.

It's from http://mydramalist.com/440-classic (movie version of Love Rain), it came 2 years before HIMYM. Temptation of Wolves (2004) has an often reenacted umbrella scene too. Maybe there's something even older than Classic?

Bad news, both 2nd leads die. Good news, if you skip the right moment, you may turn on imaginative Hwa Gun appearance at the very end and pretend she didn't.

But, you know, since she's picking most of them from a charity bin (and has not a clue about human ways of living/eating/dressing/...), she can be passed. It was still more tolerable than those scenes when LMH's character was sending her to her room to change because she was showing too much skin...
LMH had some controversial choices here too (not a huge surprise).

Bread! Now I can finally 100% buy Joon Hyun being Bum Gyun. Thank you for that.

Apparently Kim Myung Min being a deadpan wacko is among things I never knew I needed in my live. Not very challenging for a detective story, but the setting is pretty to look at (even if completely not time-fitting - that giant fish tank!). Watch it for the visuals and laughs.

lol, that's me, except it's the whole drama saved up. Now I'm even more conflicted whether to give it a shot or not.

agree on fathers part, I could live without it too.
But I wouldn't blame the original synopsis. Those things are prone to lost in translation mistakes, as people copy-paste them from various blurbs and press releases. It's really a deaf phone.
I don't know if I'll be finishing this, but kudos for this drama for giving us something else to connect Choi Tae Joon other than his character in Missing 9.

it may very well be his best drama in recent years, but then again neither Hwarang nor She Was Pretty make for a very hard competition. It's very down to earth and relatable (not a single chaebol!), with an organically growing relationships and great chemistry. But on the other hand the plot isn't very tight, for the better part there wasn't much of a plot at all, and it's getting a little overdramatic towards the end, with many open threads handled at once (some of them not really needed, like birth secrets). Some side characters just appear when needed or get sidelined later, 2nd female lead is almost 2D (which wouldn't be a big fault in other drama, but here it stands out among other, better written characters). Some parts are great, some so-so.

is it episodic? do they group and solve another cases or follow the major one?

You can think of it as a story very loosely based on the real history since the whole love triangle thing is made up. They just took the best known point (rivalry between brothers and instant deposition of the tragic young queen) and dramatised it. I can understand why people who know Korean history don't want to watch it (I for chance can rarely bring myself to watch any historical tv series taking place in Europe, because I just sit, palmface and point out everything that's wrong with modern concepts misplaced by hundreds of years and real people painfully mischaracterised for the sake of entertainment, but I digress). Drama!Yeonsangun is his own person and within drama it all makes sense, because we got motivations for all important characters, so it's more like a psychological drama about human relationship than an accurate history lesson. They aren't historical figures, they are types. Similarily, you can think what you want of real Lee Bang Won, but within 6FD he made perfect sense and it was a fascinating portrayal of a capable individual doing what had to be done and getting screwed by a person whose ideals he shared, because their visions of the new state differed afterall.

don't drop it until you see ep 3. It's getting better.

Could someone convince me to watch it? It looks like a quality drama and I like the whole cast, but small kids dead or missing isn't something I would torture myself for a 16 hours. Really not my kind of a story. Also, I'm done with HS psychopaths [if you want me to mark it a spoiler I will, but it's all revealed at the beginning and the synopsis isn't very detailed]. Is there more to it? There must be.

nope, it was always 16.

@Maks - glad to hear it:)

@Eunha - How else would they fill all the episodes. But if that helps it's not one bad guy here, so it's not that frustrating in that sense.
Ahh, Remember. I was thinking of giving it another shot to rinse the bad aftertaste from Ruler: Owner of Whatever They're Calling It This Week, but super memory and Alzheimer in one drama seems like an overkill. Is it good, besides the invincible villain?
