That's really interesting!At first I would've replied that it may be due to the fox bead but then I realized she…
after watching all those historical dramas, i dont think an 8 year old princess can take a decision of running away from the palace and also convincing her servants to take her... she wasnt even exactly in hiding just send away from the palace... imoogi clearly knew where she was and what she was doing... in those times just talking disrespectful towards the king is more than enough to be banished from the palace... she might have talked disrespectfully towards the king while imoogi is inside him...
think from siah's point of view... she never had any sort of relationship with ja sung and he used to bully her…
i personally dont see any chemistry with both the guys... she has a stronger character than both the guys and she looks too good for both of them... maybe its because she has more screentime and charatcer development than the 2 guys who solely exist for a love triangle with her...
Man, my heart breaks for Ja Sung. He went out of his comfort zone to confess, and that flashback with a younger…
think from siah's point of view... she never had any sort of relationship with ja sung and he used to bully her brother mercilessly... him having personal problems dont justify him inserting pain into others... he confessed to her out of the blue and she never even had a proper conversation with the guy... why would she have any kind of soft corner for him?
Also it has a much darker tone than other fantasy dramas,which could be why its getting new fantasy drama fans…
tale of the nine-tailed is doing good considering its time slot and weekday airing... if not they wouldnt be making a spinoff of the show... majority of the time the shows that have very high rating in korea have movie stars and airs on primetime or on weekends... supernatural fantasy shows rarely have very high rating... considering all this totnt is doing really well...
Its on TVN,a cable channel.6ish ratings is a very good number..Of course ,if it had PBG or similar stars it would…
the rating is not 'really bad'.. out of all the dramas thats airing on the same day this one has the highest rating and it airs at 10:30pm which is a pretty late time slot... 5-6% rating on a 10:30 slot in a cable channel is anything but bad... do do sol sol which airs on a national channel like KBS at 9:30 only manages to get 2-3% rating with a relatively less complicated and more lighthearted drama... record of youth used to air at 9pm which is prime time... considering the cast and the hype, that drama should have gotten 10+ rating... if ROY wasnt on netflix then it would have gotten even lesser popularity internationally... also if tale of the nine tailed was a commercial failure why would they go for a spin off?

aheum was banished from the palace... when that traitor came to take her back she told why someone who got kicked out of the palace has to go back... she knew something was inside her father(the king) and might have rebelled against him which is a huge crime in those times... i guess her servants sneaked her out so that no one will know where she is... they might change somethings here and there for their convenience... so there are chances that her story will be connected to princess bari... in old times prince and princess were known in more than one name...
Like with every show, there are things I like and things I dislike here... But what really frustrates me is WHY…
i guess the way its used is different in korean... in my language also we refer this woman, that man but it dont come as an insult in my language... but if translated to english it might come off as an insult or looking down on that person... also they mostly refer jiah as 'that woman' in a formal manner and formal speech in korea is used as a form of respect...

i guess out of supernatural fantasy dramas only goblin and hotel del luna managed to get 10+ rating on a cable channel and both were much lighter dramas than nine-tailed...
It will be definitely interesting. I can't wait for the next episode.I loved mainly the scene at the beginning…
heard there will be a spinoff of lee rang and yoori... dont know if it will be a prequel of totnt and how they met each other... kim bum already finished shooting for the drama and he posted his last day pic on his instagram... so i am not sure if he will be there till ep 16...
He may needs a girl because: "The Imoogi is a hornless ocean dragon, sometimes equated with a sea serpent. Imoogi…
lee yeon is still so powerful even without his bead... i think the imoogi dont know lee yeon no more has his bead... maybe getting lee yeon's body means having the bead as well since the bead is supposed to be inside lee yeon... also even now imoogi cannot read jiah's mind or mind control her like others....

is fox bead considered to be an orb? does all fox have fox bead or its specific for gumihos? i havent seen lee rang talking about his fox beard.... yoori, lee rang, shinjoo etc only looks like shape-shifting wolf/fox instead of gumihos... lee rang might be more powerful because he is the son of lee yeon's father who might have been also a very powerful being but he exactly isnt immortal like lee yeon... he said in the previous episode that he lived a long life considering he is mixed...
I noticed there's a trend in kdramas where they use "younger" actors for characters in school, then few years…
i guess the only way is to give a blind eye towards those storylines and enjoy the rest... i mostly do that if the other aspects of the story interests me... there are flaw in a lot of my favorite dramas but i tend to ignore those and only concentrate on the aspects that i liked... i tend to drop a drama only if those flaws are way higher than the entire story...

i dont even find half of the people they cast based on looks that good looking... my taste is completely different from korean beauty standards... i think right kdramas dont have much good actors who are in their 20s... i can only name 3-4 actors who are good at acting... the rest are just good looking flower boys...
i guess the best way to enjoy kdramas is to forget reality and watch it without giving much thought on almost all the actions... esp when it comes to light-hearted comedy-dramas... a lot of stuff kdrama shows as comedy is offensive for others but i have noticed that koreans like offensive comedies... the stalker and the entire incident ended with a comedy scene of DJ and her mother hitting the crap out of him inside the police station and police officers giving a blind eye over it...

if the elevator incident was in ep 13 then i didnt watch that episode... i tried multiple times and my net was working very slow... then ep 14 was uploaded and i watched only ep 14... i just saw the highlight scenes of ep 13 on Instagram and when i saw ep 14 i didnt feel like i missed a lot... the thing with aggressive behaviors and stalking in kdrama is that its seriousness depends on the genre of the show... if it was a crime thriller or a much darker genre then they would give more insight to those incidents else these are used just as plot device... the after math of these actions dont hold any importance in rom-com light hearted dramas... i was surprised when i saw ja sung's real age... out of the actors i feel both the guys who are interested in siah are the weekest... they both have a single expression and thats one of the main reasons why i am not interested in both of her love interests...
He may needs a girl because: "The Imoogi is a hornless ocean dragon, sometimes equated with a sea serpent. Imoogi…
isnt imoogi a snake? in the pic the fishermen worshiped, the imoogi at first sight might look like a dragon but he isnt a dragon.. lee yeon said a dragon without legs is basically just a snake...
Not that I don't like them & this drama is good but LDW best partner is still Yoo In-Na >
i liked him with his my girl costar as well.. i guess he worked with her in 2 projects as well... havent watched hotel king except for some random clips on youtube but i liked them in my girl...
I noticed there's a trend in kdramas where they use "younger" actors for characters in school, then few years…
i guess stalker incident was for siah to be more acceptable of young DY... before that she only considered him to be her brother's friend and found him quite annoying... DY gained more trust from siah and his family... i dont think jihoo's niece had any big story-line going on from the start... she was just a plot device for jihoo to fall in love with DJ more... in the coming episodes they will show DY's connection to JH's brother's accident so may be they will show her again... DY's school teacher and DY's friend are following the exact same story as in the movies... they are just there for comic relief just like in the movies... they dont contribute much to the main story even in the movie... the only problem is DY's friend and DJ's friend are a better comic duo... the teacher is simply stretching it unnecessarily giving lame reasons to reject DY's friends... i personally prefer the lawyer and DY's friend together... i cannot remember the elevator assault? what scene was that? i feel they should have given more time for ja sung to fall for siah... everything was out of the blue and the next thing is he is proposing her... he barely had 3-4 scenes with her and in the first 2 he was badmouthing her... his character overall is unnecessary and the show will do fine without any romantic line for siah... i personally dont like ja sung or her childhood friend... they could have used their screentime to develope siwoo more...

do do sol sol which airs on a national channel like KBS at 9:30 only manages to get 2-3% rating with a relatively less complicated and more lighthearted drama...
record of youth used to air at 9pm which is prime time... considering the cast and the hype, that drama should have gotten 10+ rating... if ROY wasnt on netflix then it would have gotten even lesser popularity internationally...

she is like what shin joo is to lee yeon...

i cannot remember the elevator assault? what scene was that?
i feel they should have given more time for ja sung to fall for siah... everything was out of the blue and the next thing is he is proposing her... he barely had 3-4 scenes with her and in the first 2 he was badmouthing her... his character overall is unnecessary and the show will do fine without any romantic line for siah... i personally dont like ja sung or her childhood friend... they could have used their screentime to develope siwoo more...
