damsel in a dress

Director Hong's laugh is the best :D

I am so thrilled she ends up with the emperor. It satisfies my second lead syndrome. Because although the Goryeo King has the whole package: looks, bravery, leadership skills - I like the emperor much better :)

Is it just me or is anyone else really thrilled that she ends up marrying the Yuan emperor? It somehow satisfies my second lead syndrome... I know the king of Goryeo has the whole package: the looks, the bravery, the leadership skills etc. But still I like the emperor better :D

I think we have a misunderstanding :)
By saying 'the historical wasn't well done' I did not criticise historical accuracy (as I said don't know enough about that to be any judge).
I just thought that the feel of the drama wasn't right. I didn't feel 'transported to another era' like with other dramas.
But I am glad to know there are people who are more knowledgable about history! Now I know a little more. Thanks for telling me!

I have seen it and really *honestly* liked it.
BECAUSE Ella does a convincing job as a guy (and once you get over her exaggerated acting, because of her) This version is more of a comendy than a romance anyway, and in that regard Ella does a really good job. I can't count the number of times I rofl-ed because her reactions were too hilarious and spontaneous.
BECAUSE of Jiro Wang (who refuses eye candy that so readily presents itself?)
BECAUSE it is not a remake. They had a lot of unique ideas and approaches in this one that you don't find in the other versions.
Zuo Yi Quan is a bit of a softie, but the different approach he uses to portray the character is enjoyable.
Thanks for making this article. I feel the t version of HK is highly underrated and too easily written off by lovers of the j version. (Because frankly the K version is hardly worth talking about)

I do not dare to have an opinion about historical accuracy, because frankly I am very ignorant of the historical events that underly saeguk dramas (except maybe for being able to tell the difference between periods). I can only comment on my subjective opinion. And I did not feel engaged in the ongoings of the story. Whether it was lack of acting skill or mediocre script writing or a combination of both I can't even remember anymore. I only remember that other than the romance there wasn't much worth watching in the drama. Feel free to have a different opinion :)

It's been on my list for ages. This is a brilliant reminder, that I should start it now ^^

Uh *o* that one sounds real good. I'll watch it right away.

You should really do it. Some parts are a little exaggerated but the main couple is def worth the watch! I always watch it when I am down and it never fails to make me laugh. I think the two main leads just pull it off. Hehe ;)

oh and btw. formula 17 is just brilliant. Let me know when you finished whether you enjoyed it :D

Thanks for accepting my friend req. I liked your list, have you considered watching 'kimi wa petto'? I can highly recommend it ^^

Thanks for accepting :)
I checked out your list, have you ever considered watching Kimi wa petto? I can highly recommend it ^^

the Gastrointestinal Disorders must be a cultural thing. I don't find them funny, nor do I enjoy watching a serious actor on the toilet for several minutes. I have yet to understand why directors include such scenes.

True enough, but out of all the gender benders, I only ever saw one where the female was convincingly pretending to be a man (T version of Hana Kimi).
They never fool anyone, but I like it nonethesame.

By the time the writer feel the need to fake the main actors' fatal illness, is usually the time they couldn't come up with anything anymore...

Hm, I actually think it's not so bad, but it drags. I have it on hold at ep 11, do I really want to continue?

That's some convincing argumentation you've got there >_>
That was just my subjective opinion. Feel free to have a different one.

There are some things that even he can't remedy.

I can't look at him in this drama without hearing that accent he had in CC...
