some random cool nuna

I cried, I wonder what I would have done in her stead. She is clearly stronger than I could ever be

I just finished watching the last movie (episode 6) - because of course, every episode of this drama when the war is on, is a movie. An epic one at that. Even the little signs of premonition are so perfectly shot: the monk kid falling, the dead bird, the knife falling...

I still can't get over how good JH's swordsmanship is and given the attention to details of this drama. We will see the reason he is that good because his training and sense of warfare are honestly worthy of a general but he is clearly a lord based on the flashback so I am really curious as to why he is so prepared in face of adversity. Son of a general? Adopted by some powerful mercenary? Just the mystery surrounding his character is enough to hook us in, leaving aside the mindblowing rest

it's really really romantic, not cringe romantic, just perfect blend of suspense and agony mixed

yeah ahaha definitely regret of having started it all

why do you think so? because of the SFL's parents?

Came here to throw my every-other-day dose of complaints about the impossibility of this drama being an 8.3 to then discover that the rating of episode 5 was a mega jump and similar to the one of Red Sleeve's episode 5 when it was airing. Ahh...such a joy 🥹

I think it's not a common saying but an allegory like butterflies in the stomach, but unique to JH

We don't know. So far it's emotional and entertaining rather than sad

Just because she is a virgin like every other unmarried woman in the village because that's how the society was back in the days, she is not innocent: she's literally the fox with the 99 tails - that's how everyone knows her - she's that cunning. Innocent is not the same thing as naive. She then goes on to show the strength that silly written characters of the majority of dramas can dream of having. Do you even know what happens inside this drama? Why are you here writing assumptions over assumptions over something you have not watched? Pehaps, use your free time in a more productive way (e.g. by watching it instead eheh)

I have seen enough dramas like Crash Course in Romance, The World of the Married, Tomorrow, Witch's Romance, Queen of Masks, etc to know what Asian dramas don't have this issue as much as in Hollywood (where I have not seen this issue as prominent either). If I were to complain about the age of the casting I am actually usually more pissed when they show flower / K-pop boys randomly cast in very serious roles in historical (non even modern) dramas. I am not sure where your presuppositions came from

No. In this drama there is a very specific reason for him to be older. He has to be older and more experienced in life because he is the only one who has seen it all and is ready for what is to come. This is what makes him different from every other boy in the village: that he's not a boy. She has to be young and young enough and innocent enough not to have seen the horrors of life and this is what makes her growth in episode 4 onwards so striking. These aspects are building blocks of the drama so no, another way wouldn't do, for this drama. Everything in life is not generalizable. Every detail of this drama is well thought so far, including the spectacular cast

ohh I didn't think about it ahahah

This is still unbelievable to us all that it's not watched enough

spoiler tag please

nope

Accurate, I didn't think about it but yes IMDB is the right place to rate it justly

I just don't understand. I have never been so confused about the rating of a drama ever before because they are somehow understandable but this is just unacceptable

*for any show* - indeed

I just come back to check the rating every day because this ain't no 8.3 and this pisses me off so much. If we consider even episode 4 only, it is one of the best episodes ever made in the history of dramas. UGH.
