Stop spamming with that blog post. I can already see their narrative dissolving. So the story is not set during the protests, but in the scene where the main lead is chased by the police, there is a group of activists singing the song that was used in the protests. Do you think everyone is dumb and can’t tell why they used that song, sung by protestors on the street in the context?

If JTBC actually cared about those victims, they would not wait for the drama to unfold for things to be clarified. They would aknowledge why those people had concerns about it and address every single one of them. Just as before they said the main lead is not a north korean spy. But both on their official website and in the drama they present him as a north korean spy. So how can they say they addressed the concerns when they did outright lied. They only want to air the drama and make people watch it. They don’t care about the people’s opinions.

I am thinking and jtbc don’t care about those concerns at all. You know not everything is done in good faith. I would advise you to think as well

This is how you miss the whole point of the discussion. This has nothing to do with me. And it has nothing to do with you, cause as i see you are neither korean neither have relatives who were in the protest. This affects korean people. Not you. So mind your business and let them decide what to say in their own country

Ah, right. People can do no wrong. Never. JTBC are known to be angels and they have nonconnections to the right wing supporters in korea. It’s all good everyone, jtbc promised us everything is ok, we gotta trust them

This comment pretty much proves the reaction of people here defending the drama. International viewers don’t care. But if they don’t care, they should leave these matters to the people who actually care

You guys give 0 fucks about the history because you choose to say that the people showing concern are butthurt and just antis. That people here give 0 respect to the victims of those protests, that you don’t even care to understand their concerns.

Snowdrop distoring history is not a groundless claim.

Debunked by who? The families of the victims spoke about their concerns, but that doesn’t matter i guess. The use of songs that were known to be used during the protests in the drama? The use of names of the characters exactly the same as the names of the protesters during that time?

It’s all debunked, but by who?

Tell me you didn’t read the articles about the concerns people have regarding the drama whithout telling me you didn’t read about it at all.

For a community that loves watching series and movies from korea, there are lots of people who give 0 fucks about the actual history of the country.

Go ahead and watch the content, but don’t disrespect the history of the country you seemingly like. Better shut up if you are not from korea, and let them decide what kind of content offends them.

Stop telling people who actually survived after those protests and the family of those who passed away fom the torture that they are butthurt. They are not butthurt. You are just an insensensitive person and should reconsider your actions.

I will impatiently go through this week with the thought that on the weekend there will be Christmas and 3 new episodes...

I am getting so attached to this drama, and i just love the way everything is portrayed, the main leads, the costumes, their story...

You got it right, he wants his sister as a concubine

Just watch the begining of ep 2, she does not fall in his arms, they both fall into the lake lol. There is no such cliches in this drama

Yes, historically she was still a child when she became concubine, 13 years old when she was concubine, died a year later

I loved it, i just personally see the clock ticking, seeing ao few episodes left and how much story there is to say. And i wanted more scenes with the main leads. I think the drama should have had 20 episodes for sure from the begining.

Omggg, finally!! He looks soo good!

Throughout the drama everyone acted like she does not exist. Now that Yi San is so close to becoming a king, i wonder what will they do... I hope the queen appearing (cause let's be honest there can't be a coronation with her not being there) will not give again more reasons for Deok im to again refuse becoming a concubine... In history and in the book, she and the queen were good friends. So either they'll do some time skip or we'll have to deal with another drama...

Yes, but i hope it happens at the begining of the episode, and not at the end as always...

Wait, now i listened more carefully to the preview for ep 12 again, and The King mentions the name of Prince Sado, he says Yi Seon instead of Yi San. He is clearly losing it.
I still wonder what will happen in ep 12... While i hope the King finally dies and Yi San is crowned, i know that after the King was dead, there was some turmoil in the palace before he got the throne.
I just want to see Deok Im become a concubine already, i am too impatient
I think it's frustrating how a drama that should be about the story of Yi San and Deok Im is focused so much on the old king, like there are 17 episodes and we are in ep 12 and the old king did not die yet.... please spare us, old man go to sleep already

Yeah, i think we’re saying goodbye to the current king in the next episode. Seeing the preview, it seems like a goodbye to him.
Now i can’t wait to see Yi San as king

I am checking the comments here every day in case something new appears, can it be friday already? 😭
