I'd like to add that the author has a hard time saying that it was historically factual although that's the real conclusion. I despise that kind of twisting. Says more about the writer than the drama.

A piece of writing about the historical correctness of the Red Sleeve: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2022/03/13/culture/koreanHeritage/the-red-sleeve-korean-historical-drama-lee-junho/20220313150254413.html

Am glad that Lee Shi Eun's daughter remains somewhat balanced and sane (at least for now)

I would have expected them to become independent, move on and make their own lives. They're just stuck. Obviously the writer seems to think it's somehow okay to cling to bitterness and feelings of betrayal.

Definitely what I was thinking. The way he wanted to be hit by Ga Bin when that's not in her character at all. He's obviously emotionally troubled and doesn't have empathy at all. In a way that's realistic for someone so rich and privileged.

Not just the Lee Shi Eun character, why is it so difficult for Korean actresses to portray a mature sensual side. But it becomes all the more weird when she' in her 50s and has kids. In this case it's all up to the writer what the characters are. But still, a pervasive problem in k-dramas. imo.

Kim Jae Young was great in Reflection of You. It could be seen he'd move on to more prominent lead roles. Casting him will ensure success, imo.

Wow, that was informative (the profile). Now I've really been warned!

It's not a Netflix original but TV Chosun, I think.

I'm watching just because Netflix isn't showing Forecasting or 25 21 yet hahaha. Only reason. Not taking it seriously at all. Tried watching k-dramas in YouTube but the video quality sucks.

I really can't watch the replacement, have to skip all scenes where she is. I so want to fix her hair.

I think they chose to get off the series. They knew their characters would turn more disgusting. It would not have been a right move for such good actors. They knew their image would have been tarnished, probably too much. So they would only be offered similar wacky roles in the future. The first two seasons, they proved their excellence in acting, stepping out was the right decision. Hoping for great roles in the future for all 3 of them. Especially Kim Bo Yun, she deserves good badass mom roles for a change.

Didn't they say s3 would go just as shown in the crazy ending to season 2? Maybe I misunderstood but now I'm just waiting to see how they make that happen. I hope we get to know how much work Dong Ma actor put to show all those abs and for how long he dieted hahaha yes it's a feast but the work and effort required for that one scene must be pretty insane.

The 3 actors that left, I think they chose to get off the series. They knew their characters would turn more disgusting. It would not have been right for such good actors. They knew their image would have been tarnished, probably too much. So they would only be offered similar wacky roles in the future.

They really played well. Am glad they're not on board anymore with this craziness.

ending

Psychological thriller is my fave genre and this one's just perfect. Incredible acting by Park Sung Woong (easily one of the greatest actors in the world, ever) and the cat and mouse game between him and Seo In Guk is excellent. Seo In Guk is just right for playing an ambivalent and enigmatic character. He's using small nuances to give intriguing hints and the viewer is hooked on trying to figure out what's really going on in his mind. Jung So Min's acting is good but a little teflonish for such a strong drama, therefore the male leads stand out more. There's romance, murder to be solved, but the main plot is the mystery around the characters. This is very finely written and reveals things slowly. There are no boring moments or unnecessary subplots or meaningless characters. I was totally hooked from start to finish. Beautiful drama, one of the very best k-dramas for me. 9.5.

"found family", aka family theme, no bromance. On the heavier side but with light moments which I enjoy most

The first 2 episodes are pretty boring and confusing but after that it gets much better. Especially when the characters come together in one time dimension and start to slowly to form bonds and trust against all odds. The colours in this drama are amazing.
