I'm kinda sad they didn't keep the character of Mr. Go... She was a really nice and, for me, fundamental in the manhwa... Idk I think her character shed light on a very important aspect of the society of that time. I'll miss her. But, apart for that I'm enjoying this a lot, even if there are quite lot of differences from the original plot ^^
When Jeong Suk goes and tries the vibrator on herself at night and after a while we had fireworks go up in the sky as a way to show her pleasure I dieddd 💀💀
Bro is having a real hard life here. Well he is reaping what he sowed but still i pity him.
That's the charm of his character, like you know it's his fault ending up in this much troubles; even so you can't help but having a soft spot for him cause sometimes he really cares and has good hunches about his job, so when he does try, he go hard even if his intentions may not be honorable... And somehow he always ends up in very dangerous situations when he tries to do good 🥲
First episode was great 🥺 They changed a bit of the manhwa's plot, but still it was a solid start for the drama, I can't wait to see how the story will evolve ^^
I feel like Ji Wook's voice somehow does not suit the type of king he's playing help idk his voice just doesn't carry enough authority. Also this is unfortunately not as interesting as I was expecting sigh, the war scenes were eeeeeh passable I guess and as for the rest it feels lukewarm. I'll see after I finished all the four episode if dropping or not.
One thing that's starting to put me off are the many mini-series with open endings so they can add season after season, instead of the 16-20 episodes format. I've got nothing against 8 episodes series, but damn I want endings! Give me a story that i can start AND finish without having to wait months or that will never have a proper ending just because they cancelled the show! I don't get it, like, nobody makes proper ending for their stories nowdays. So, not only I found myself with many poorly scripted dramas with too many cliché I've already seen, but most of the stories are getting are inserting lots of "appetizers" for western audience (which, if I wanted that, I'd go watch american tv shows, not dramas come on) and Im not even getting a proper ending. So, yeah, I struggle to find korean dramas I really like nowdays T-T
No, this takes place mostly after he's already gone behind the gate, but there are lots of flashbacks to both…
OH, i see!! Thank you for answering me dsfgh I never read the whole novel, only summaries about the main plot to try understand the whole timeline + whats the heck is happening between one drama and the other (with all the differences there are with the novel). So we are in the story-period where Wu Xie learn whatever he can about the Zhang family and then start to hunts down the Wangs? Well, i wonder if they put the Wangs at all since they aren't mentioned in the summary of the drama... Ughhh, cant wait to be home so I can watch the episodes TT-TT Thank you again for the clarification!!!
WAIT A MINUTE omfg when did this come out noooo i need to see help this is like a side story that happens before Zhang Qi Ling ends up behind the Bronze Gate right? We still got the Wang family and a not-so-unhinged Wu Xie, if I understood right? The timelines are a mess with this series, but I still want to try :')

I hope they'll keep the momentum going.
