I was shocked to see her put her hand on him - that is totally radically lewd for Joseon .... ! and hugging her was totally radically intimate for a Capitalist Monster ....
so what we have seen so far is equivalent to like 100000 bed scenes from the ranchiest love movies LMAO in terms of their RECKLNESSNESS IN EXPRESSING THEIR TRUE FEELINGS
imo putting her hand on him qualifies as "we are getting married" claim, and he hugging her means a total let go and surrender
hoping cha se gye's hairdo will change. He looks so much better with hair down. His current hairstyle looks like…
When his bangs are down, **** we cannot see his eyes...... and so the drama loses the key actor. **** >>>> His eyes and face must be fully visible to get the full effect of his acting <<<<<<<
As for his "daytime" hairstyle, i think it looks awesome. It is very appropriate for the character.
The cute hair down is ok for a few seconds in scenes "relaxing at home after a shower" to give a feel for his soft inner nature and the stark difference between his public image and his real self - when he literally lets his hair down But if FL is there, he should move that hair out of his eyes so that she can see him :)
hair in the eyes seems like the hair is pricking the eyeballs :) and/or the person cannot see clearly, and is just hiding behind that hair like a shaggy dog.
In any case, hair down and into the eyes has been used in numerous kdramas to portray meek and weak characters that HIDE behind that hair so that nobody can see their eyes
i have been defending heo nam jun like crazy 😭 not only is he super hot but he is a really great actor, i hope…
Yes I am so glad he overcame 100 Memories miscast, that drama made him be a poker-faced idiot the entire time, I hated him for needlessly taking screen space as I was truly convinced he cannot act lmao
Now I see that the script and director can turn perfectly good actors into zombies I started to get the hints when I saw The Glory SML as a total slow bland dude in Practical Guide To Love - the actor looked clearly BORED wth that oversimplified role - and then more convinced when I saw Shopping King Louis ML actor - such a creative fantastic actor - act as stupidly boring poker face in Boyfriend on Demand.
And with this drama, I am now totally convinced that so many dramas were ruined bc the script/director just prevented actors from acting.
That is currently happening to ML in Sold Out on You. He is clearly bored with his overly simple role and clearly PREVENTED from acting. And so I studied Sold Out on You to see why that happens and how it works.
>>>>>>>A grumpy serious pretty male face in a close-up is something you see in advertisements. So we are conditioned to see that face as something mysterious and desirable. And so dramas use a pretty male actor and put him into the serious grumpy mode and do lots of close-ups that last quite long so that the audience can have the time to swoon over him. BASICALLY YOU ARE STARING AT AN ADVERTISEMENT <<<<<<<<<<<
Remember how they sabotaged Mr. Queen's ending by sending them both to their real timeline. The king had no clue…
@Ti02 said that the FL died in Joseon era, and that is true, so at this moment it certainly doesnt look like FL can go back to Joseon as her old Joseon self .....
and we have no clue where UnknownActress went to..... !!!!
There are some occult details to iron out here :)
it is possible that UnknownActress died for real - for Joseon standards, killing a low level person to save a royal is 1000% acceptable and legitimat solution - so then FL is permanently in 21st century and she and ML have a chance to redo their karma and win over the PsychoMonster this time around.
perhaps what is happening in year 2026 will change what happened in Joseon so that's how everyone stays in their original times - but ... kdramas do not usually go this route.... This is Twilight Zone american sci-fi supernatural series plot :)
The kdrama style is typically this: Perhaps in Joseon someone took the poisoned queen and brought her back to life - yeah despit all that blood maybe it was possible - so at the end of the drama, FL and UnknownActress swap again... . and... Even if FL has to go back to Joseon, she will be reincarnated as ML's love in this life.
==== Mr Queen is different. That drama more sounds like a man's secret fantasy of being queer, and the drama is more of queer bait, there is absolutely no rational reason for the time travel and body swap.
Here, there is a 10000% rationale - in Joseon time, ML and FL were too naive and eaten alive by the well camouflaged PsychoMonster - who had all the power as the King - and so they were brought together in year 2026 under different rules of the game where they do have a chance to redeem their bad karma
The drama is okay but not what it was advertised, I see no villains here
Yes they are not villains really but ... they have a reputation lmao
and they deserve some of it... for example, beating "supposedly nice" and popular Min Do in public definitely looks like a villain act
ML did some seemingly cruel stuff in the business world, he has a reputation as Capitalist Monster, and is known for public misconduct and scandals - although he often behaved as Robin Hood - but a very mean one
FL is not a villain but she takes care of herself and speaks up - and in the palace, took care of 500 helpers and who knows how else she stepped on the toes around her - easy to proclaim her a villain
FYI THE RATING IS LOW BC THERE ARE ORGANIZED GROUPS OF TROLLS WHO LOWRATE
EPISODES 11 and 12 DID NOT AIR YET, BUT **** 19 **** USERS LOWRATED THOSE UNAIRED EPISODES last week it was 13 users who lowrated unaired eps 9-12
====Also they are on Twitter too ==== and probably other social media
THIS DRAMA IS A THREAT TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT DRAMAS TO JUST PUT PPL TO SLEEP various Perfect Crowns and Pursuits of Jade, the dramas that are like a bottle of alcohol or a shot of drugs, you watch them to turn your brain off and just delulu fantasize - and when it is over, you crash down and your life is going backward, not forward.
Any piece of art that makes people turn their brain on and go forward, is a piece of art that get CENSORED - in this case, the organized groups of trolls are a form of censoring, the low rating discourages advertisers and new audience
It will be very hard to not have this drama, this little refreshing oasis of healing art .... I also notice what is happening with the world .. My Mister, rating 8,9, 103,000 watchers, year 2018... My Liberation Notes, rating 8.4, 67,000 watchers, year 2022. We Are All Trying Here, rating 8,2, 21,000 watchers, year 2026.
Where are the watchers? Perfect Crown, 50,000 watchers.
We desperately need more of WAATH-like dramas or else we are gonna suffocate and die lmao or just quit watching. As the gardening season is here and I am eyeballing and practicing solo jazz dance videos.... I am getting more picky in what I watch and sometimes I consider quitting, but then WAATH comes out, so I watch. But if I cannot find something like that, i will entirely stop watching :) It is not a problem as you think. i quit watching anything western about 20 yrs ago and never even noticed.
Luckily there are fun dramas to fall on, at the moment... My Royal Nemesis has some substance and amazing acting, and even Filing for Love has some substance and good acting, and daily Our Happy Days too. BUT ... none of them go deep, like this drama,
EDITED TODAY: so none of them are so deeply healing. They are fun to watch but then you leave that screen very likely as the same person who came to watch. That kind of drama/movie does NOT transform you as much, as fast, and maybe not at all. But stuff like WAATH does :)
Why I edited this today: bc I had to pay homage to dramas like Discovery of Love, which DID transform me. There are other dramas that have been healing for me too. Overall, just presence of sane people on the screen productively and constructively dealing with their problems was helpful in my daily life. Kdramas are very wonderful tools of learning.
Hm ep 10 where do I even start... The funeral scenes - wow such masterful acting. Such small details but dialogue ... wow. Face of GS ... wow The sense of community... wow
speaking of, GS is going with that other woman and his wife will willingly let him go, seems like. She coddled him too much and it's not good for him or her...
Face of FL's ex, the coauthor jerk, and FL's mom drilling him on the plot ... wow his face was amazing acting... and mom nailing him and FL was amazing script
I was thinking - it finally took a genius to recognize a genius - the typical DM spewed BS was actually food for thoght for that famous actor..... and to others, DM was just a fool... but the great actor recognized a fellow creative person....
FL actress slightly defrosted and now I can see some emotion on her face and her eyes, so that's good That rock music for her walking out was amazing lmao
DM is getting more and more handsome, his face looking at FamousActor..
the drunken party was .. hm. . made me think... it was ... too ..ordinary! ppl get together and get drunk. Kinda ... stale.. boring... I wonder if DM will totally change and cross over to th mediocre / evil side and just live like everyone else... parties... drinking...
And the poet - since he stirred her soul, they might end up together. But he gotta leave alcohol first. The scene of them meeing was amazing, esp him, his face...
And yes everything disappears, and NO, the memories and karma STAY and we have to deal with them sooner or later... :) So nothing really disappears :) So it is best to live very wisely :)
On a positive note: Bucket actor is masterfully acting - e.g. his finding out about SR wow. And SeRi actress is masterfully acting tpp. Esp the last scene in ep 31
It is time to move on from this HATRED that the 3 women in FL's family and 2 women in ML's family are actively propagating in a conspiracy.
Seeing Grandma and Dr Han "LOVE SAVES ALL" Crusader in a hospital bed after cancer surgery - confirming their hate of ML's family, and two GROWN UP daughters who are siding with the hatred for the sake of the family - like - family equals hatred!!!! - IT IS TOTALLY INFURIATING TO SEE HOW KOREANS ARE TRYING TO BRAINWASH THEIR KIDS INTO BEING FURNITURE PIECES OWNED BY THEIR PARENTS!!! the grown as@ woman FL is just breaking up for the sake of her family. WOW what kind of family is it... ?????? A very bad family!!!! and even one grown man siding with hatred - that is sooo dumb and such bad script
IT IS JUST DUMB and dragging the drama down. Sorry but it is too much.
This kind of stuff happens everywhere on all kinds of topics - hate those ppl of different religion or color or ethnicity or social status etc - this is sooo common - but ... in the case of this drama, there is absoliutely no reason to hate each other.... and .... we had enough episodes of hatred. LET"S MOVE ON FINALLY
meanwhile Grandma is going on dates with Grandpa. And Dr Han preaches love solves all. What slimeball hypocrites
I wish that someone blow away their egoistical dumb as@s. The script writer is that someone :) The script writer has to think of some more creative plots where the drama moves forward in more unique ways and more creative and fresh ways Instead of being a copy of 1000000000 previous dramas
She was seemingly actually on her way back home to him after telling SML emphatically that she wants/cares deeply…
Hm I dont think we understand each other. I am not saying ML is bad. I am saying ML is doing all the work in this relationship and chasing this FL who just keeps running away. Emotional scars have to end at one point to have a healthy relathionship. IF FL IS NOT HEALED ENOUGH TO MOVE FORWARD ON HER OWN, THEN SHE IS NOT READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP. ML is not her emotional support animal. He is a human being, an adult, and there has to be give and take.
Me too dont know any woman who would refuse this ML - except FL !!! who kept stringing him along and bailing at the slightest problem. She threw away the soup, the teddy bear, sent him off to the USA, and the fact that she was packed to get back to Seoul and thinking about him did NOT mean she was actually going to call him - she was thinking it is too late.
This is NOT an equal relationship. A healtjy relationship is an equal relationship. The drama - like so many - caters to immature women who think they can have a great totally loyal dedicated guy sugar daddy nurse etc all rolled into one - and without doing any work, staying flawed.
heck no. Let us be clear - it takes effort to have a relationship and the woman has to be equally strong.
The dramas are reverse of real life, where weak men are cajoled by many women. The real life situation is totally pathetic... and dramas make a reverse of it, to make women feel better. But it is not helpful at all. It is harmful and keeps the current status quo.
So I want to see a strong woman who is aware of her feelings and acts on them, and a strong man to match, and some honest conversations and inner work on their own and together by talking things through. So that we can start breaking the stereotypes thousands of years old, where women are essentially slaves in a male-dominated world and then women have delulu dreams about doing whatever they want - just like men currently do and women complain about it

I was shocked to see her put her hand on him - that is totally radically lewd for Joseon .... ! and hugging her was totally radically intimate for a Capitalist Monster ....

imo putting her hand on him qualifies as "we are getting married" claim, and he hugging her means a total let go and surrender

Thinking some more today, I had to edit my comment bc I have watched other dramas that had a very positive impact on my life.
