it gets more interesting in ep 3 but still not the compelling masterpiece it's claimed to be. in my opinion.

The history part (Qing invasion and closely follows real events) is interesting. BUT: this is an adaption of Gone With the Wind so the main characters are very atypical compared to any other sageuk. I can't empathize with them, which kills any beauty there might be otherwise (currently watching Jang Ok Jung and loving it).

a very good question. that's something we definitely didn't need

I felt the unease in his acting also in AoS. But MLL really called for character growth, he should have talked things out with the mother at least, how can a son not feel betrayed by her lack of faith in him

What a solid writer, I've liked all the dramas she's written. Page Turner, Pinocchio and Start-Up in particular. Very much looking forward to Castaway Diva!

glad someone else noticed it too. it's almost cruel to have such a shy person trying to be an actor. In the interactions with senior actors he first looked down and then braced himself to say his lines.

that's a relief. PGM is not my fave either but hoping for a great outcome for both. I agree about the chemistry with Na In Woo.

this is first and foremost a Disney drama, and not a k-drama. Completely agree. I am praying hard but things are looking bad. Arthdal Chronicles on Disney now is also a Disney drama which is a huge letdown. People enjoying Moving, good for them, but the style is pure Marvel.

I was thinking the same. But now I'm watching Pinocchio (2014) and it's just perfect. Thus, not your problem, imo.

amen to that!

Seeing her acting talents go downhill is kinda sad. If she takes on another drama with a rookie, will be very hard to ever achieve credibility again.

Kim So Hyun is loosing whatever acting talent she had with these rookies. If she takes on another drama with a rookie, it's game over.

He was strangling the girl. That's not an accident.

How could they accept that the murder was "accidental" when he was strangling the girl and pushed her hard to the ground? And raging with jealousy when they had no relationship in the first place? Love is not love but a one-sided crush when there are no mutuality and one-sided crushes can't make a person rage with jealousy. That was so outlandishly ridiculous. And ML just doesn't react to any past wrongdoings, like a saint. To me he was just wishy washy, a very weak person.

yes indeed. 6/10. The last 2 episodes were really painful to watch. Based on the popularity of this with the 15-17 year olds, they will just continue having Hwang Min Hyun as ML in new dramas when his acting is purely embarrassing to watch. He's just looking flustered and clueless like there was nothing going on in his head. I just want to add, that a minimal amount of background research should be a requirement for writers. Football, for instance. El Clasico is not British football but Spanish, between Barca and Real Madrid.

great drama, fantastic pics

ep 10 in Netflix is the same as ep 10 elsewhere (Viki), not the ending of the drama. 6 episodes more to come.

The rest will probably come later, but funny that they don't tell this. Ep 10 ending in Netflix is the same as ep 10 ending in Viki, so it's not cut or anything.

he has directed 2 movies before this, just a rookie in k-dramaworld

Yes that's very true. I don't understand why this director, and not someone more experienced. I remember Taelha's costumes in S1, so magnificent. This is nothing like S1 when it comes to hair and costumes.
