Commenting on things you find weird in another person's comment is not it and you know it.

Yes indeed. I get riled up too when I see those comments. Attacking people who post critical comments instead of just writing their own comments. Mostly I just block those rude kids bc they will never get that this is not a fandom site. One main point of the comment section is to let people decide whether to skip or watch. Another main point of for people to start accepting the fact that EVERYONE EXPERIENCES A DRAMA DIFFERENTLY based on what they've watched before. I do agree the drama is a bummer and I love Rowoon's acting.

no, ep 4 and still very little Rowoon screentime. The comedy does feel awkward. The problem is with the script and the director, Rowoon doesn't really have any chance to show his skills in this drama.

What happened to the kitten Yi Chan gave to Cheong Ah? One of the scenes that was just so lovely and heartwarming. This is a rare gem, 10/10 drama for me.

ikr? I wish it would go on for another 16 eps

Indeed. In Joseon men could have concubines and that was marriage as well. The first wife had the main responsibilities (ancestral rites) but there really was polygamy. Not just a mistress.

I'm disappointed. Rowoon had again just scraps of screentime in ep 4 compared to the defence minister. Rowoon filmed from 10 meters distance and virtually no close-ups. Defence minister, plenty of close-ups. What's wrong with the director and cameraman? As I really love to watch Rowoon's acting and am here for it. The humor isn't humoring. Lots of side characters who weren't properly introduced to the viewer and I can't even keep track of them. Like who was the guy who came to inquire the chinese seller about the poison? This ain't it, director. So much trouble to put on a pretty scene of a dinner party where the main characters weren't even present. Maybe dropping.

Who's abnormal: one who expresses their sincere critical opinion or the one who wants to censor others opinions. Learn to respect other people and don't make assumptions about their mental state if they do not agree with you.

Everyone. This a comment section where everyone is allowed to comment. Criticism and praise are both welcome. This is not a fansite. Consider before bashing "negativity" or "haters". Calling people haters is babytalk. Just let everyone share their experiences pls. I might not like someone's opinion but I will fight for their right to express it. Enough of the censorship attempts.

I just want to add that Page Turner is very good indeed. I Hear Your Voice is as good While You Were Sleeping. Dream High is also surprisingly good (I didn't expect it to be).

She is that good. Really. Pinocchio is very good, I liked it even more than While You Were Sleeping. The journalism ethics topic is very interesting in Pinocchio.

I don't agree with you at all. This a chance to for me learn about the history. Not imposing my ideas on anyone though so pls just leave it. I don't like it when someone writes a comment on this drama, there's a league of holier-than-thous who come at them. Whenever someone says a original commenter was wrong (even if I think they're wrong) I block the attacker and not the original commenter.

Quite good, solid mystery drama. Although not anything particularly exciting or novel. I didn't find it boring or draggy at all. Ending is satisfactory. There are some big plot holes but I'd still recommend. The brothers' relationship is the most touching part. Ok Taecyeon and Ha Seok Jin are great in their roles. 8.5/10.

Not everyone wants a happy ending. It's a very bad idea to start changing a drama for just pleasing the audience. Happy ending would be totally out of line considering what has been going on. Their inability to communicate and sheer cruelty toward each other makes the drama very frustrating. The historical events are quite close to real events and make the drama interesting, not everyone is watching just bc of the romance.

the women taken to Qing were considered ruined. The husband is not any different from other men in that era. Having concubines was normal. Wives were owned by their husbands so the decision is not hers to make.

It gets going in ep 3. It's worth watching, imo.

I'm loving this. Not a boring moment so far. Both ML and FL are top tier actors, it's just very enjoyable to watch them. It seems this will not have those annoying filler characters that ruined Destined With You.

Yes indeed. Mingi is my bias. The most cool and charismatic man!

The Red Sleeve (but you probably already saw that). Jang Ok Jeong also, but it is a more traditional k-drama.

Additional historical context: Captain Gu is not "cheating" when he has taken a concubine. In Joseon, wives were rigidly divided into two categories: legitimate wife and concubines. (Women's Life During the Chosun Dynasty, https://ijkh.khistory.org/upload/pdf/6_05.pdf)
