Thank you for such elaborate reasons! I'm satisfied with those answers! I'm not curious anymore! I really liked that we got to have a proper discussion here on MDL comment section, let's continue to do this for the next 10 episodes!
Question: Why do you guys think Queen for Seven Days is not performing well in Korea. To me, ratings don't…
Ahhh good point! I did notice that this show was chronically under promoted when it still didn't air. Do you think the lack of idol actors contribute at all? I love that this drama has a cast packed with seasoned actors but idols are like a walking promotion material. I mean, yes, Chansung my man is there. But his fans are not in their young teens that's for sure.
Question: Why do you guys think Queen for Seven Days is not performing well in Korea. To me, ratings don't matter much. However, I believe the cast of this show is performing better than most of the successful melo sageuks in the recent years. I daresay, this is a better show than Moonlight Drawn by Clouds and that was BIG in Korea (it was just cute for me, not more). For me, it's far above Ruler and I'm sad to say this because I was the most excited for that show :(
So yeah, let's have a discussion! Let's try to figure out why through our conversations. Join me y'all!
Honestly I'm hoping for the prince to have a bigger plan we're not aware of yet. If he truly loves her…
I really want a happy ending, obviously. But I'm quite sure that EP 19 or 20 will feature the scene in the opening of EP 1. I personally prefer death over exile because I like getting clean endings. Scarlet Heart had its faults but I really liked that Hae Soo DIED (she didn't suddenly bid everyone farewell and transport back in time right? Same concept as an exile if you think of it) Thanks to this death, we got to see the wonderful grieving performances of the actors. I feel like exiles are really messy. Real history and I think differently though... On another note, I really wished Myung Hye was there to witness how brave our CG was protecting her man and his friends from the hands of Secretary Im & Co. That would've shut her blabbering mouth up.

And imagine how gut wrenching it would be to see our cutie patootie Chae Gyung turn somewhat bitter and cold because of this event? I'm thinking that slowly, CG will lose her trademark innocence and brightness and turn out to be the defeated, tired and weak Queen that we've seen in the opening of EP 1.
I hope the King doesn't use the fact that she and him kissed in order to make her obey his commands. That's blackmailing and it's not sexy at all. Oh but it does make a story juicy... :D
He's absolutely breathtaking to look at. I believe he's going to do so well if he gets a chance to play the role similar to Kang Tae Joon's in Missing 9. Give this beau a chance!
The saddest thing about her is that, while she's such a cutiepie, (her visual is daebak) she never seems to improve. I'm really sad that she still hasn't found a way to make a character come alive. This may be because she's usually type-casted into candy roles or only-there-to-hate types of 2nd leads. I want her to be better, I want to LOVE her but I just can't. Please Bora-sshi, find a role that can surprise us all! Shin Se Kyung, Go Ah Ra and Lee Yeon Hee managed to do it. I'm sure you can too!
Hello everyone. Out of my desperation to watch the 10th episode as fast as I can (I live in Japan so the wait is brutal, no time difference to ease my heart), I searched "KBS2 web TV live" on Google and... I found a way to watch it live! OMG right? Warning: It's in Potato Quality. Now, I have no idea if it is malicious for my (or your) PC and I literally don't know why such a service exists but I just wanted to let you guys know. Again, I am not sure if this is even safe or not so please don't hold me responsible if anything happens... I personally chickened out on this website after three minutes because i) I wanted to, for once, watch an episode without being spoiled; ii) the potato quality is a personal turn off for me, sowwyyy; iii) I just got scared because... well I'm not supposed to get it live, right? Anyway, if anyone here on this page needs to watch the show ASAP every week because their heart is palpitating too fast and they cannot wait anymore, I think I found you all a way. :) WARNING 2: The bottom third of the screen is cut for some odd reason. Yes well that's it. I'll go to bed and try to restrain myself from watching the raw clips on DramaKBS now. Annyong yorobun! <3
Are primetime dramas so late in Korea? 22:00 = 10:00 pm no?
Why so late in the evening I wonder?
I believe I can answer this because I live in Japan. In most Asian countries, workers are not "allowed" to leave before their bosses. Bosses have a lot of responsibilities and so they work overtime often, which means that regular workers tend to stay at work way past dinner time. So considering how late their meals may be, and about how they may take a bath and such, it all turns out to be around 10:00 pm. I hope it makes sense!
