I loved the drama at first but I couldn't stand the ML actor so I gave up on it at ep 14. I had no problem with…
I did feel the strong chemistry but I do agree the ML is not very attractive. Regardless though, it was the length of the drama that made me lose patience. I dropped it at 28 haha, a first for me. Actually it just lost its charm after the ML got the championship.
Who do you consider the villains in this drama. There're a few in this drama, and if their objectives change they…
It does not matter as I said she did wakeup when the ML took her body to the wonderland. Essentially this plot device is completely compromised at that point.
You cannot just pick a series of plots from your imagination and apply it to the scene just to make it more believable for everybody. That's essentially changing the story. And I am discussing the actual story, not an imaginative probability.
Well. regardless, its apparent that you feel different about it. Lets agree to disagree.

I understand the reasoning behind his action but it was too weak of a plot for a man of such calibre. The whole coup was executed in an unbelievable way. How a team of 20 people in ragtag getups made it inside the throne room in broad daylight. Let alone that there were simply no guards posted around the area at all.
The villains didn't even have a powerful fighter at all that could pose a challenge to the ML in the first place. The fight was lacklustre and frankly didn't have that thrill factor at all as nobody was essentially in danger.
The whole episode of FL behaving like someone dead was also handled very badly. There was simply no reactions aside from that gaze after she got up from the casket.
Not including the ML in the scheme was also bizarre as he is essentially a top rated pretender in the drama.
As she did wake up in one instance before the penultimate scene it made even more bizarre sense of how she can behave like a corpse. She obviously does not take some medicine that hides her pulse to cause a near death state. The ML is a very meticulous investigator.
There was essentially no need nor benefit in her faking her death as after all nothing really happened between both points in the timeline. It did not encourage the villain to expose his hand either as it was already set in stone.
That's why I said its a forced plot device which ruined the overall vibe of the drama.

I am talking about the PM who wanted his daughter to marry the ML because she liked him and made a rational case for her to attain that position for him.
His action of actually staging a coup is diametrically opposite to his objective. He has also shown no tendency of actually replacing the king because he had no irreconcilable issue with him. He had no issue with the ML as well and had seen his genius and compatible personality.
He was a man with extreme proficiency towards politics and manoeuvring for his gains. He knew how to work the system and the King. He was also sincere towards the people.
But all that went down the drain when he engaged that tribe to stage the coup.
Currently am watching a 4k version of the drama and I just had to mention the level of cinematography is so high that I have rarely seen such quality picture in even the latest of dramas. Everybody looks so gorgeous in this drama.
But my opinion still stands that I don't really like the main couple.
Though I am upgrading the rating to 8 this time around just because of the high quality picture.
A must watch I must say, especially for the romance and the unique situation as well as the way they handle themselves.
The last plot though was very weak, I guess the original writer didn't write it. And someone else came up with that cliche. The execution was so low quality that it broke immersion. The ML, FL, even the villain parts were lacklustre. The change in the villain's objective was also completely weird and out of the blue.
Also it seemed this production wasn't very high budget so there was a serious lack of extras/CG, the armies had less than hundred people usually and the fight scenes were clearly bogus. I was really astonished when in one of the fight scenes, the soldiers were literally playing with swords, haha.
Well I couldn't coup with the last episodes and the overall struggle after the first watch, so I cut all the romance stuff to a single whole, 7.5 hours long. It is such a treat to see it every now and then without watching all that 40 hours of content!
If someone wants it, I can share, its 17GB big. Though do know, I didn't polish it with effects to smoothen the cuts, only used existing scenes to create transitions from night/day etc.
Plot holes galore, that's what the drama should have been named.
Each and every plot is accompanied by glaring holes and lacking any backstory, it is as if audience is considered starving retards lusting for entertainment, no matter how nonsensical it may seem.
Fortunately our world has an unending supply of great entertainment, so I recommend to look elsewhere. Unless of course you have that extraordinary girth to ignore the crumbling foundations and enjoy the utopia built on top.
I disagree with you about voting based on feelings I think that this is so normal it's okay cause this is why…
Actually everybody has their own criteria of what they want to see in a drama.
This drama had many things that made me want to drop it. Like how the ML was such a fool in the first half or how the drama glorified the situation the boys were in as if something good, conversely it was a very bad setup and kids must not be in a situation where they get to make decisions for their parents. I have experienced this personally of how such results.
A weak story with an insecure mother, who even though understands the problems, simply can't see away from her insecurities that can be allayed with a simple visit to a lawyer or talking to family or best yet, talking to the ML!
She is extremely lucky to find him as a second chance, when the kid is still very young. Like it is for the whole, "I will not let my child's father in his life, even though he is a great father and I understand the need of a father in his life."
Justifying her bad decisions as well as depriving your child of a parent. ML is truly a great father, he is so far away from a bad example. Later, to even think that a day in a week or whatever time frame is ok for a child to bear and understand in his life, is just so far out there that it was hard to keep up with such irresponsibility.
It is weird to me that so many commenters on MDL have this bizarre hang-up about sex scenes. Exactly what is it…
There is no such thing as a limit on length for a movie. If the production team has story they deem important to portray, they will show it. Its a misconception that good footage will be sacrificed for an undesirable scene. Especially with such a high production budget and A-list actors.
Not to mention sex scenes in this movie, even in the extended editions, only amount to 8 minutes in length, out of 124 minutes. That's not even 10% of the movie.
