Yes those two masterpieces are different but if I had to rank them. LLTG is definitely superior to this and PoB although different delivers on the same level of watch ability and character development as well comedic side characters.

That's exactly the same place where I became exasperated with the FL as well. But was determined to finish bc of the ML's acting

I know I'm not fully caught up on this drama as others may be. Currently watching ep 23, but I had to pause to come here to see if I'm the only person who would have totally given up on this drama if it weren't for NanHeng our ML. The FL is annoying me more than I can tolerate. At first I appreciated her resolve for trying to avoid the fate of the script, but now it doesn't even feel like that's really what she's doing. Most of her actions make no sense. YiTing is also really annoying. Forcing herself onto Mr Li after he repeatedly rejected her, to the point where she's willing to drug/r@pe him. Makes absolutely no sense for a character the story has tried to convince the viewers is super intelligent and progressive in her thinking 🤔.
Now don't get me wrong bc I'm totally sucked in and will keep watching but 100% bc of Liu Yu Ning's performance. He deserves a back rub for the way he's carrying this drama

Eternal love AKA the ten mile peach blossom has this kind of love you're looking for. And IMO so much better executed.

I got the Dr*g cases mixed up for a bit too. I thought they were talking about the candy looking ones at first then remembered this show had the patches

I agree with you. The reasoning doesn't make any sense other than for it to be a plot devices which makes it even more annoying. The writers couldn't come up with a better reason for the characters to do this stupidness. They could have tried telling him and then having the GP still not care or shoot it down bc he just wants to marry FL. That would make more sense. Considering how unreasonable he is being simply over this girl.

I think it was the taxi driver the first time as well. Bc they showed someone came to his door and then the next thing was him falling into the pool. I don't believe Sun Jae ever committed suicide in any timeline.

I agree I'd rather this and the way it's done than some of the other contrived plot devices that we always get which inevitably breakup the lead couple and then they find their way back to each other.

I agree with your opinion of QOT. I have to force myself to watch one episode bc they're so long. But with each of LR eps I keep checking to see how much time is left bc I don't want it to be over. IMO LR is a much better show with more likable characters.

I came here just to say this show is definitely not getting enough buzz. It is so good. I can't stop watching. There are no dull or draggy moments. I'm genuinely sad that it is not getting talked about the way some other not quite as good dramas this year have been. 😏👀
But it's all good bc at least I found it and got to watch this excellent drama

Great show. Not enough people know it either

I agree with your assessment of my dearest. I did however finish it but not bc I was enjoying it. Mostly bc I felt the pressure by everyone else loving it. I love historical dramas and everything that comes with them so I'm pretty open to tropiness etc. But no matter the drama I can't take when the leads drag out their relationship, which my dearest kept doing which made it difficult to enjoy. I hope this one doesn't do this but goes more like 100 days my prince

That scene for some reason reminded me so much of his scene in soundtrack #1

Completely agree with this comment. I really don't understand all of the other posts where people are mad that he "changed" and can't believe he betrayed the FL. He clearly did what he had to do to take the throne. He didn't have the "prisoners" killed, nor did he have his nephew killed which most kings would. He understands what he's up against. Which I think that's why he spent the three years acting out getting drunk etc. Bc the throne and the politics of it all is too much. He has to push his true self down so much just so he can uncover what really happened to his brother and take care of the nation.

Same

I could have some how comforted myself with that if they gave us some indication that we present or remembered by the Korea Tae Ha, but we didn't get that. All we got was Josean Tae Ha dreaming of his future life and hoping that he'd get to be with Yeon Woo then.

Just finished the finale and I'll say it's the best the writers could seemingly do. They wrote themselves into a corner by having 2 exceptional Tae Ha's. Fans want Yeon Woo to be with them both. I'm somewhat satisfied but also don't really think it's a HE. Overall I absolutely loved this drama and hope to see both leads in other projects this year.

Agreed on all points. This was such a filler eps. I ffwd through so much. But I'm a little sad that her Josean Tae Ha who clearly loved her too doesn't get to be with her as well. At least it seems so. If he hadn't been murdered on their wedding night I'm sure they would have been happily married and she would have loved him as much as the modern Tae Ha.

I will definitely vote for the couple from park's secret marriage contract. I know, I know the couple from my dearest...but to ME they weren't as romantic as the couple from PSMC. They didn't give me the oooh!!! feels. It was more like awe the sadness.

Idk how this show already has ratings when it's not even finished yet. I kinda want to give a rating just to help boost it bc it is incredible television, but I still think it would be unjustified to give it a 10 when I haven't even finished it either. Nevertheless at this point halfway through it is a masterpiece in filmmaking.
