I barely saw or heard promotion about it! Perhaps it’s because it’s aired on a smaller channel?
Maybe its because ive been following Yuri but MBN has been working hard promoting this drama. The main cast were on MBN news, Cosmopolitan, their IG is full of bossam, dropping up to 5 teasers, special episode of interview a week before broadcast. Jung Il Woo x Kwon Yuri also had a collab on their Youtube channels to promote Bossam. I think MBN has tried their best promoting, its just depending on viewers now.
the story sounds interesting, and the teasers look so good! MBN is promoting their 10th Anniversary Special Drama very earnestly, I really hope their hardwork will pay off and everyone shows love for this drama.
Also, Jung Il-woo x Kwon Yuri look really good together like WOW
I haven't read the webtoon, but I hate it too when one day they're like ''I hate your guts'' and the next it's…
omg i didnt notice it was only gonna have 12 eps! well then i guess i'll just hope for at least 4 eps of uncomfortable-ness/hatred first, another 2 eps of getting to know one another then finally halfway in ep 6 Ryok starts to feel something idk is that too slow? but i love slowburn lmao
Usually I get second lead syndrome but webtoon second lead is just nice without really being someone you want to root for? I guess? IDK maybe the drama will make the original 2nd lead more charming.
I liked the webtoon BUT i will like the drama version even better if they prolong the hatred/uncomfortable-ness between Ryok and Ma Ha. I was anticipating the whole "enemies to lovers" trope but I felt like in the webtoon the male lead fell for her kinda fast despite initially holding so much prejudice towards her. I want their blossoming romance to be a little bit more complicated (or at least a bit more subtle) and that Ma Ha doesn't like him too fast either.
Except it does say that the main character has to "hide his identity and live in poverty". This kind of makes…
Oh weird, I thought I saw on a twitter translation that it was May 1st. But yess it's still early May regardless. when it's 30th April I'll be sure to wish you! My birthday is on May 9th and I'm happy by that time Bossam's Fate will have started airing already!
KIM TAE WOO AGAIN HAHAHA HOW DO I STILL SEE HIM AGAIN EVEN WHEN I'M WATCHING DRAMA FOR MY BIAS
Anyways, haven't been THIS excited for a Yuri drama since Defendant! Really hope she showcases all of her potential in this! And looking forward to Jung Il-Woo too! I've really been in the mood to watch historical dramas since Kingdom these days, Mr Queen amplified my feels for historical and now, even my bias is in a historical production! I'm so happy~
sooyoung is my fave in snsd, but honestly her acting is very bad
I'm a big fan of SNSD but whenever I watch them acting, most of the time I still think of them as an SNSD member trying to portray a role. But with Seo Dan-ah, I kind of forgot she's actually THE Sooyoung from SNSD. Even though I felt like Seo Dan-ah's trolling personality was similar to Sooyoung. I thought she was brilliant, I was immersed in her character.
I mean, I was watching with my mother, I notice she usually doesn't pay attention to the screen when the first lead ship is there. Which is weird, because she usually likes first leads better than second leads/side ships but whenever Seo Dan-ah is onscreen, I notice her eyes go back to the screen. I remember I told her I'm mostly just watching this drama for Sooyoung, even though she's the second lead, and my mother was genuinely shocked. She thought "the CEO" was the main female lead and CEO X painter was the first couple lmao that's how much Seo Dan-ah stood out.
I usually like the slow and sweet ships but KSG x OMJ just paled in comparison to Seo Dan-ah x Lee Yeong-hwa. I still like this show but man, I wish there was more Seo Dan-ah x Lee Yeong-hwa. Since this is a slice of life, there might be a possible season 2, so if there is one, I hope they focus on Seo Dan-ah x Lee Yeong-hwa. I felt like there's so much that could be done with their relationship.
even if SY's soul was in the body, she didn't really do much for 20 episodes. it was all BH. she just showed up…
C'mon, you really think that one scene in the rain was enough for the King to be fascinated by the original Kim So Yong compared to the many traits the King fell for when Bonghwan took over So Yong's body? Really? You're gonna tell me that ONE scene in the rain triumphs everything CJ and BH/SB went through?
He was not just "wary" of her, CJ even tried to kill So Yong. So Yong could not make CJ believe she was not the enemy, but Bonghwan did it without even trying. Why? Because BH was the one who made CJ curious enough about the Queen and try to understand her.
I did want JBH to go back to the present, but only if they didn't make him fall for CJ. That would've been easier to stomach. And while I'm happy JBH went back to the present and So Yong now has CJ's love, there's a reason why the writers include the line where CJ felt like he lost something. And why he mentions So Yong doesn't speak informally to him like before. It just shows that SY and BH really were not the same person, that even though SY has some of BH's influence, CJ still felt like something was MISSING. I just feel upset that he never realized at one point, SY was really someone else. It's sad that only Kim Byeong In realized it only to be killed off in the end.
Anyways, great for you, nothing is going to change my mind about this ending unless we get a Season 2 where CJ eventually realizes So Yong is not really the same and/or CJ gets shipped to the future/reincarnates and meets Bonghwan again. I want to see if CJ will still find Bonghwan fascinating as a man, in his true form. If he doesn't fall for him that's okay too. Before CJ fell for SoBong I always thought they would be good buddies at least.
I'm not saying it's BL. but since the Queen and the man have different personalities entirely, they definitely are two different people.
It feels like the male lead suddenly ended up with the 2nd female lead even though the relationship that was developed was the male lead with the first female lead. Usually nobody is satisfied with an ending like that, right? Unless the male lead had better chemistry with the 2nd female lead but the entertaining, soulful and the one with the most development and screentime was the chemistry between the male lead and the first female+male lead. I don't like BL, I just want the male lead x first female lead with a fiery personality (from the man's soul) than the 2nd female lead with a depressing personality.
I don't watch BL either but in this VERY special case, I became invested in the Queen with the man's soul relationship with the King, but in the end the original Queen comes back from hiding all of a sudden and the man is sent back to the present. The Queen (man) and the original Queen are so different from the other, it's hard to feel not cheated on. The King even says it himself, he feels like he "lost" something. Even though the Queen is in front of him and everything should be in it's place, something feels different.
And viewers know it's because the major part of the Queen that The King loved is gone. I'm not rooting hard for BL but I WAS rooting for the relationship that was developed nicely throughout the series which was MR Queen x King, not Mrs Queen x King. Does it make sense?
But of course, it's still an entertaining drama, and since I know your preference, you'll love it. I know my preference too, I mostly ship straight characters like 99% of the time, but the line is blurry in this one and I find myself sadly unsatisfied rip
there was nothing lgbt in this drama. the king fell in love with a woman and BH's emotions were influenced by…
While I understand somewhat that BH's emotions were influenced by SY's emotions (because BH started showing attraction to the King after So Yong's soul merged with him), the King did not just "fell in love with a woman."
He fell in love with the Queen with Jang Bong Hwan's soul in it. He was fascinated by her slang, her arrogance, her rudeness, every single flaw that a woman during that time shouldn't have, yet he still loved her. He confessed this himself, all the things about the Queen (with Bonghwan's soul) that he loved which would be considered flaws by others. None of the traits that Bonghwan had belonged to So Yong, the woman. Had Bonghwan not been in So Yong, Cheol Jong would not have paid attention to her much. Maybe he'd eventually have a soft spot for her, but So Yong lacked the courage Bonghwan had to prove herself that she was on his side. Bonghwan didn't have to prove anything to convince that he was not the enemy. The King was curious enough about Queen Bonghwan to try and understand her/him, but he was not curious enough about So Yong to understand her, thus he would not have fallen for her.
For all those who think that So Yong's soul was not in her body at all, please look up Ep #20 @46:45. So Yong…
so isn't that extremely unfair? So Yong only hid behind Bonghwan's decisions and takes the credit for it when Bonghwan is sent back to wherever he came from even though So Yong was the one who was tired of life in the palace?
Also, Jung Il-woo x Kwon Yuri look really good together like WOW
