Did we watch the same show? It wasn't that light. There was a lot of sex? The episodes were over an hour each. There wasn't a lot of sex. We really didn't watch the same show. Korean dramas usually don't show the characters being honest and hide their thoughts. The characters here are brutally direct.

Were the subs ok? I stopped paying attention to the subs before episode 1 ended. I wasn't really paying attention to it. Let's not blame the subs. The acting was good, the palace politics low key but the lines by everyone is pretty direct for a historical drama especially expressing their feelings. The general chatter by the supporting cast is risque for a show but the actual story is good. Didn't you see the contrast between the Queen and consort? Then the different levels of relationships between the 3 couples?

Finished 2 episodes. I am going to ignore the rating and just comment on the drama. Its more raw and grittier than the average Korean drama. The casting is really good. Everyone bar 1 is a sageuk actor. The casting is actual way better than I anticipated.

I am now totally invested in how they are going to solve the Crown Prince's marriage. I also like that the siblings actually like each other.

Good show. Way better than I thought from all the comments. If the ratings gives the writers opportunities to actually dig down and flesh out ( no pun intended ) the characters I'm all for it.

And omg the subs. Is it going to improve? That's not actually TVing's subs right? The personal pronouns are consistently wrong. And did I spot an Indonesian word in there? I actually turned up the volume and paid attention to the conversation because the subs are bad. Lordie its been awhile since I've actually had to depend on my Korean.

Good first 2 episodes. Can't complain. I am happy its on TVing. Netflix has a habit of only producing or airing slick shows. I want a good drama instead. I certainly would not be surprised if the scenes were in a Korean movie but not as drama. The actor playing the Grand Prince reminds me of an actor who was a murderous blood covered psychopath in the last drama.So I was having whiplash because I kept expecting him to kill someone.

Oh man I am laughing way too hard at the comments here.

I am looking for a new drama and thought the tags were errors but apparently not.

I actually came to see if the acting and writing was any good and still haven't found an answer in the comments.

How is this drama? Should I wait and binge?

I know right? I am actually laughing so much there are tears. That's seriously funny

Well its only 26 episodes, I've seen the trailer which steers towards a light drama. So good for a marathon. I've decided to marathon it as the whole drama synopsis is already written there. No surprises so might as well wait.

There's only one family who fits this profile.

Thanks for the warning. Why am I not surprised at people- not you specifically- as I have seen it before in other dramas.

It's like this little hidden nugget by writers. The writer doesn't address the issue throughout the drama and then something you didn't think was important is used to tie up the loose ends at the end. Its like an unexpected prize. And people just blab it all out.

I am extremely happy then I watched the episodes before coming to MDL. I watched those episodes knowing nothing and I could just enjoy the story. Its a good thing to have the element of surprise. I feel sorry now for those who knew everything before watching the last several episodes. I want a happy resolution for any romance drama I watch. I don't want to know the specific plot points because there is nothing to look forward to.

Like honestly thank you for the warning. I will go back to rewatch my couples. And not read the comments here for a day or so.

By the way its actually kind of a mental relief not having to worry about a favourite character dying or having a arrow riddled death scene. Or being tortured or have the finger tortured method. Or being unloved. Or worry that the couple pairings not have screen time together.

Yes there were issues with the personal life beliefs of the viewers but that's expected when a story doesn't appeal to them. However at the end of the day this drama was only 2 1/2 weeks long. You got your drama fix for that timeframe.

For those wanting to marathon do it. For those who want a few episodes a day to entertain yourself at the end of a school or work day this drama will also be suitable to be watched it this format.

Now goddamit I have to try to find a new Cdrama to start.

Even I think this is a major spoiler because it just dropped and there were zero hints about this and you just dropped it right there.

Its like a punchline and any new viewers would not have the satisfaction finding it out for themselves

Done. I did a review. I read several of the reviews.

For those starting- there seems to be this trend for the drama. The proportion of hate for this harmless drama seems out of proportion. There are so illogical reviews reviewing non-existent plot points that did not occur.

I am not a mindless fervent fan who loved this drama in spite of any flaws.

I can talk without spoilers. Facts. Its 36 episodes. Its pretty. The cast can act. There are multiple storylines. The family stays together. It did not let its family members down.

Was it flawless? No. Was it good? Yes? Did I regret wasting my evenings watching? No.

At the end of the day did you want a drama to watch? If you want an epic angsty, blood and gore revenge historical drama? Then no this drama is not for you.

However if you are like many others who want to watch a drama and are happy to be entertained and want to be confident the episodes 30- 36 still have new things to deliver to the climax? Then yes watch it.

Whining comments on this thread? We are all adults. I may have pointed stuff out in my other comments but there is nothing here that makes me stomp and rant or go on a rampage about. I honestly do not understand what some of the comments are on about.

By the way I watched 31- 36 in one go this morning. Didn't fast forward. Loved watching the other siblings and felt satisfied in rhe end. That's the feeling you want at the end of any drama? Did I want some things more than others? Yes. However wouldn't change anything because thank God the writer had enough experience to keep the story moving along.

Ok I now have to look for the BTS.

Does anyone have any preview links? I am working and don't get to ep 31 until 10hrs post airing. And I will be too tired to watch by then.

The saddest thing is that I like this series so even though I want to watch ep 36 I have to watch from ep 31 without fast forwarding. The suspense is real.

He is a male. A very experienced male writer. I don't even know what the issues were with those viewers.

Er later, when I have time. I won't even know what a B- list drama is.

Er I didn't notice. When? His Double kissing was bad?

Yes. The drama is not perfect however its a 36 episode drama. I usually am used to angs at this stage or the killing starts.

I was reading the writer's cv because of the haters in this drama. He held a lot of positions. Did he write the script knowing the actress was young? Or was the script written because he was paid for the job.

Again. This comment is referenced using all the negative comments about the age gap. I noticed that the scenes are written without the couple having to have physical contact to carry their story along. I have never seen a tickle scene before as well.

So I have been trying to work out if the writer is writing based on constraints as this production is full of actors from YZ's company.

No matter how much I dislike certain elements of each couple's story the writer clearly knows how to bring a plot along. I believe that comes from experience.

However at the end of the day this drama is ending and I think the drama did its job. 5 daughters and 5 stories and it has hardly derailed. Each story follows a certain number of episodes. Each minor plot for each characters lasts less than 2 episodes.

I am trying to decide if I should applaud the writer. Let me see- if I see minimal physical contact or close body scene in this arc that means the writer wrote it knowing the actress' age.

3 comments in a row with viewers disliking it. Why are you guys still watching?

I've just watched 2 last episodes of 2 dramas which I've dropped. I don't comment on those drama threads. However people feel very free to bag this drama. Like I said, I don't know why people feel so burdened to unburden yourself here. It serves no purposes for future viewers. Is it civic duty or something?

Lol. You mean the youngest uncle with the escort agency in The Double. I am rewatching The Double but can't even remember who's who. I will now need to look at the sister in laws more closely now.

Well she is the last sibling so the buck stops there. The series also ends tonight so you'll get your wish.

She was systemically violent yesterday.

I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't what I saw tonight. I laughed way too much and has Leshan been hiding her light under a bushel? She is even more vicious than her sisters.

I am actually afraid for the Yang family now. She is way more manipulative than her sisters as well.
