Sageuk Lover

I think you should watch her best drama, Princess's Man (for me this is her best since she does really well in historical dramas, plus if you don't know she and the cast was also nominated for Montecarlo France awards for this drama). And also Painter of the Wind(also historical drama). She's not the main actress in Painter of the Wind but her chemistry with the lead actress is so good that they won best couple in 2008. You might want to search her videos first in Painter to make you more excited. Innocent Man (with Song Joong Ki) is also good.

Maybe she's being careful in choosing a new drama with great plot and story. With all the scandals in korean entertainment right now, I just sometimes think it's a blessing she's not in the news right now so she won't be affected in all these scandals.
I'd rather she take long time to choose new drama or movie than choose now only to have that drama not catering her talents or having some scandal.

Yes, Ive seen this. This is a good consolation. But I still wish Chae Won is nominated

Congrats to Lee Joon Gi, Kim Ji Hoon, Kim Cheol Kyu, and the kdrama itself for the nominations. So sad for Moon Chae Won. Like if I’m not wrong she’s the only female lead in a 9.1 rated kdrama that is never nominated in any awards show anywhere

Agree with everything except no. 3 (Sorry I’m just not a fan of Lee Min Ho). I want her to act with better actors. (Ex: Yoo Ah In, Lee Joon Gi, Jo In Sung, Kim Nam Gil)

I understand your viewpoint but in my opinion they really deserved a happy ending

She deserves so much. If I’m not wrong is Flower of Evil the only 9.1 rated kdrama in mydramalist where the female lead is not nominated anywhere (despite being the chemistry of the two leads being essential in the drama’s success)?

There’s so many newer actors who have been given more chances than Tae Ri, who has been in the entertainment industry since he was freaking 5

Sounds so much like Painter of the Wind. Trivia: It has the same director as this one and Kim Yoo Jung is also the childhood version of the female lead there.

Yup. I understand. I really prefer serious historical dramas over serious romcoms. My historical dramas has to have some politics, some tragedy, strong female leads, and serious romance. I only like historical romcoms if they star my fave actors in them.

I suggest you give this drama at least until episode 6 or 7, that’s when things get more exciting.

Maybe you can try Hwang Ji Ni or Damo. Older historical dramas of hers but they are really good. I think Damo only has 14 episodes . Hwang Ji Ni is in youtube complete with english subtitles.

Thanks for explaining

Okay. (But maybe someday you could give her a chance, there’s also some people on mydramalist who use to dislike her a lot but love her acting here). Lee Joon Gi performance here is phenomenal though, watch at least for him. I understand if you would not watch though. Drama is described by the cast as 80% melo and 20% thriller. Respect your opinion.

The female lead is extremely talented. Her name is Moon Chae Won. She has a strong sageuk image just like Lee Joon Gi. She was in 2011’s best drama The Princess’s Man (sageuk). Innocent Man and Good Doctor (the dramas most international fans know her in) should not be the ones people base her acting skills on. Lee Joon Gi himself praises her acting a lot. He recognizes her as an actress who can express her emotions really well.
In this drama, her character is really strong and brave, just like her character in her 2011 drama. This is also her best acting aside from her 2011 drama.

Will watch this movie in some future for MCW (it's on my watchlist). Whatever her character will do here, she does not deserve the hate. Blame it on her character, not her.

Don't mind the percentage of how many percent I've watched. I've watched all these dramas before already. Plan to rewatch them for better review

The father son relationship here reminds me of Queen Seon Deok. The main character there also has an adoptive mom who she loves like her own and who would do anything for her as well.

People who thinks she's overrated (and Song Joong Ki for that matter too) should check out Arthdal Chronicles

I like your act as Tanya in Arthdal Chronicles.
