Sageuk Lover

I'm so excited for you to see episode 8, there's really a confrontation scene I really love from that show.

Ha Ji Won is the reason I watched this drama. I also enjoyed Hyun Bin acting here more than in CLOY.

People who watched it back then knew it was from Greece. This drama also contributed to Greece tourism during that year. They renamed the country Uruk to avoid political bs.

I'm in the minority but the adult playing the second lead female Kim Min Seo is my fave adult cast member, she made me pity the for the loveless queen. Her situation is so pitiful and sad. Who cares if she looks older than the male lead, she's amazing.

Yes it is, it has some fight scenes but the best scenes are of the king and how he created hangul and how he debates to himself or to others if hangul will benefit the kingdom. This drama won not just best drama but daesang (highest award) back in 2012 baeksang which was really well deserved. You can go to dramabeans too and see people commenting on the episodes of this drama during the time this drama was airing, and I think those are some reviews you can trust the most (as they were watching it when the drama was new).

it feels very different from most recent modern kdramas

you can check out Time Between Dog and Wolf, it's old but very worth it.

Somehow, I want him to play King Sejong role again (really love his Tree with Deep Roots appearance), I just want at least one serious sageuk role of him to be as well loved as his recent modern dramas. Maybe if there's a King Sejong biopic movie from his younger years to his death to be released on Hangul day, they can cast him (they'll get him since they need someone old enough to play old King Sejong but young enough to play young King Sejong). Preferably non-romance (he can have a wife in the drama for sure).

If I were to choose a new costar (someone he has never acted before) for him in a new drama or movie , I want to see him with Ha Ji Won, Son Ye Jin, or Han Ji Min. It's interesting that he hasn't acted with a top actress close to his age (less than 5 years age gap from him) except for a very few.

she had the same face when she was younger, she never had surgery

Ohh

She is really great in Arthdal Chronicles, I was kinda sad she left (though I like her replacement too), but i hope she gets great future projects.

which one? They just confirmed the new crown prince is her grandson

okay thanks

oh so that's the answer to my comment above in this page. Guess the countdown is wrong, suppose to put episode 8 instead of 9.

Did they air episode 8 this tuesday (seeing from countdown it's already for episode 9)? I thought they'll just air episode 7 and air episode 8 next week since the airing for yesterday was postponed?

she's also the rich daughter in Parasite

I'm assuming base on you comment you haven't seen Innocent Man and Arthdal Chronicles, I really suggest you check both out. SJK is amazing in both shows, I personally think he is better in these two shows than the more popular DOTS and Vincenzo (though he's great in the two latter shows as wel)l.

Innocent Man (both main and second female), Werewolf Boy, Arthdal Chronicles, Space Sweepers his female leads in these works are all great. DOTS and Vincenzo female leads are also good actresses (though their acting are not exactly my type).

LJG can fly, see Iljimae action scenes
