The plot looks interesting & I love Master’s Sun. But after watching the main leads rather awkward kiss scenes on YT & reading the comments here, I’m not sure if I should start.
I didn't read the book. I thought it’s going to be like a few different crime cases that they need to solve, but I was wrong. The plot development is fast-paced and it gets more intense towards the end. There are many questions left unanswered but I can understand that the writer wanted to just focus on the main storyline. At least there is no filler episode & I really appreciate for the fact that there are only 21 episodes for a Cdrama. If you’re into lots of lovey dovey skinship kinda thing, then do not put your expectation too high. But be prepared to get swooned over Wang Kai’s overflowing charisma.
I completed months ago but I am still having serious withdrawal issues :( Can someone please update the recommendation list with more dramas similar to this, pretty please thank you.
One of the best sageuk, palace-themed Kdramas of all times. I want to leave a comment here because I want to encourage the younger audiences to also take up this drama although this is dated. Frankly I think it’s tough to binge watch the entire thing at one go. Give yourself some days (or weeks) to sit back & enjoy the plot development throughout the series.
This drama is not exactly that typical slice-of-life college fluffy romance story. There is a very strong message behind it, and this made me realize again how shallow our society can be by judging people just based on physical looks. Watching this brings back my own high school memories - the prettiest girl needs to pair up with the hottest guy, girls comparing with one another who got pursued the most, how I got rejected by my crush because of my girl-with-nerdy-glasses look, etc. So what if I become the best looking person in the world if I don’t even know how to love myself? The last episode pretty much sums up the whole meaning of this drama; personality, confidence, pursuit of happiness, self-esteem & friendship values. That scene between Soo Ah & Mi Rae was impactful, and Im Soo Hyang did a great job delivering the message.
Dropped it at ep 9. I was looking forward to this drama because of the casts & I chose to only start watching on a peaceful weekend to fully enjoy it...but the disappointment! I managed to survive this far because of the King/Ji Dwi but I couldn't stand Aro’s crying scenes anymore. Nevertheless, I still like you, Go Ah Ra. I really like Park Hyung Sik too but his character just doesn’t do justice for his talents. Hwarang is like a sageuk version of idol trainee academy. Flower boys, those long hair, great costumes - yes I like it. But the plot, I just can’t.
Now moving on to Miss Hammurabi for more of Go Ah Ra.
