I know this is a drama but does it bother anyone else that every movie about the Palace only has envious evil…
Asian drams are more realistic in terms of how power is kept. I the US we rarely have any dramas that criticize how power is played out in the US. The Asians are more realistic about who has power. Tons of Korean dramas with corrupt officials and CEOs. Also they do a better job at showing how corporate money flows to particular families. Which is something we hide in the US. In the West we whitewash history (as in make it more noble than it really was).
The best episode is probably episode 4 and the other episode at the hotel where building approval was going on…
at first I was like hey is that Ok Taecyeon, why is he looking so wack. I had just that week introduced my niece to 2pm. So for the first coupla episodes I keep remarking to niece how he usually plays a hero. Then it all goes dark.... OMG what a performance. It was so epic that now when I watch my favorite 'My House' video or 'With Me Again' video I find that I don't enjoy Taecyeon in the same way I did before. I mean I enjoy him...but but my god he was awful.
