some random cool nuna

Oh man after writing that comment I started it at 10 pm and finished it somehow at 8.30 am of the morning after. I think I've lost my mind but I was actually glued to the screen because....of the queen of course!!! the best queen ever! I loved the drama a lot omg

It's really funny that you will see some actors in common in both dramas but especially how the ML is just as loyal to his brother in that drama too in addition to being the "incomprehensible" and "deserving of the throne" in both dramas ahaha

Some dramas of that era like this are iconic and they will be remembered forever in Korea with references that still today we use as parody or recognise by OST etc They are literally part of the Korean culture

completely deserved Baeksang because he was perfection and his was truly quite an interesting and one of the most unique portrayals

I noticed that people don't understand satire anymore. It's depressing to think that nowadays everything offends everyone. On another note, I want a petition to MDL to allow people to like comments twice just so that I could like yours more than once lol

I think the ost of this drama is basically iconic for most Koreans (and international audience like me who have such fond memories of the time this was airing)... It's made history for sure

I've never liked a random yes more than this ahahaha

yes, he has a love line too

nope, it's not scary. It's mostly comedy + adventure + mystery + romance

I don't know what I'm even doing in this drama's page but someone actually compared this to IOTL? That was quite a polite answer you wrote there because I would just say that it's a travesty to think of remotely comparing them

Only once before in my life have I hated the ML and the FL together as much as do in this drama. ML just needs to look at her, leave alone touch her, and I go "ewwww". When he was attacked and she came to his mind I was skipping the scenes so hard rolling my eyes. There are few reasons that could justify ML's obsession over her but I think it's just the miscast of the FL that makes it so much worse. Most importantly, having a attractive, endearing, strong SFL in contrast who can act with excellent micro-expressions is just the most unhelpful isn't it?

I had my reasons to watch this drama but if there is no bromance and no romance (no I'm not going to allow them to shove another chemistry-less useless kiss down my throat) then I refuse to wait for crumbs of SFL and the ML. Might come back out of curiosity when it ends so that I can skip everything eww-worthy and pack 5/6 episodes under couple of hours

Someone needs to tell me what on earth I was thinking when, back when it was airing, I dropped Under the Queen's Umberella because, thinking back, Moon Sang Min's face and acting alone should have been enough to keep my depending-on-the-mood shallow ass glued to the drama lol
Now that I'll be in abstinence from his antics till next Monday, I find it baffling 😂

eyecandy alert, great acting, full of funny scenes, great side characters, enough scenes with depth too so why not. NB: it doesn't take itself too seriously so you don't have to either :)

not love triangle as you would think of it. 2FL likes him but it's not reciprocated although she is a powerful caharacter and written in a likeable manner (depending on how you see it)

there is romance and a lot of it, just no typical physical display of affection like other dramas. Here it's unique and still very swoon-worthy

I think it's pretty mutual ;)

I fault it with the way he looks as them :( In the scene with the SFL just before her confession, he was staring at her with so much endearment saying things any normal woman would swoon over! Honestly the SFL is not the least bit weird to fall for him given how long they know each other and how many memories they have together

And the way he looks at the FL whenever he's touched (cause who else takes his side apart from the FL anyways) which is ALWAYS? Our poor hearts...

ahahahha so trueee!!! Didn't even think of that! She's the queen of aegyo and it's so funny he knows that

not explained yet

ahaha where're the lie

I see where you're coming from. I think it's because they are historically and traditionally from a deep routed polyteistic background, so their interpretation of monotheistic idea of God sometimes (as if "MONO" wasn't the clue) is a new one along with the "existing ones". Korea is a not a very religious country anyways so they don't know how to thread lightly in these cases. That's why in kdramas you hear the dialogue "to Buddha, Allah and all the Gods out there, please..." which is basically unconceivable as a dialogue to people from monotheism
