Sageuk Lover

i really wish she could comeback to sageuk, i really enjoyed her most in that genre.

okay

I love Sense and Sensibility, thank you for that movie. Searching this guy's filmography, I feel like his films are very important to the filmography of actors as randomly grouped together as Kate Winslet, Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, Heath Ledger, Tang Wei

Hopefully as this is a movie it won't get cancelled. Korean movies are usually less sensitive with scandals compared to kdramas for what I observed.

I was expecting a younger male lead, but Choi Soo Jong is okay. I like him in Emperor of the Sea, though I was more blown away with Song Il Gook in that show. Hope I’ll be more sold with him here.

I was expecting a younger male lead (late 30s to early 40s), but he’s good

Just finished, I like it. Really refreshing to see Kim Ok Vin, Yoo Teo and Kim Ji Hoon in roles very different from what I've seen them before. (Ok Vin and Teo were great in Arthdal Chronicles while Ji Hoon is amazing in Flower of Evil)

she's really great in Arthdal Chronicles too.

yes she did well despite the script giving her a "not so flashy" role.

Of all the deaths here, Ha Jin's death is the one I find most depressing. It's because I feel the love of her and Yon is really innocent and sweet, then the pain of her dying while pregnant (meaning the baby dies too). I really feel for Yon when he lost his wife and his only child/descendant.

Here to remind that the main characters in this drama are the historical King Jeongjo and his beloved concubine Seong. This is what sets this drama apart from the recent romance sageuks (around 2016-after). Historically, it did took a long time for the King to pursue this beloved woman of his, so that is what this drama is kinda following. Of course, they added some liberties and fictional elements in the plot.

currently watching now, i feel this drama will have typical plot but the actors they got are really amazing actors, just really curious how they act with each other.

I wish Moon Chae Won to make more dramas like this. Had a drama of this calibre aired in recent years, sure it will be more popular and more easily accessible.

i do agree that he should receive the appropriate judgement from korean police if he indeed disobey their law related to drugs. however, i don't think he should be cancelled as he never harmed anyone but himself by taking the drug.

The SBS ratings pertain to percentage of Korean watchers who watch the drama as it airs while mydramalist ratings are of any person who has a mydramalist account rating the drama however the way they want.

Done with Payback, hoping she has another drama or movie soon (preferable sageuk).

Just finished, I like this drama though I ended up not really super invested with the story. Lee Sun Kyun, Moon Chae Won and the rest of the cast did well though I think this is not a show I'll go to watch to if I want to see either of them acting (not because this show is bad, just that they have better shows). Glad that they have collaborated together since i know Lee Sun Kyun is one of Moon Chae Won's dream costars. 8.5 is my score for this show.

my first drama of her was painter of the wind and she was already great in it given it's one of her first roles (the way she looks at her costar and cried in the show was really amazing).

Gosh, the branding scene. Song Il Gook is a really great actor.

there were many dating announcements too (mostly with non-celebrities though).
