Yes plsss🙏🙏🙏

But that's the usual progression to get to male lead in a romance soon haha...if he does more action he might get type cast as a villain sooner than he can become a male lead

The ml from summary sounds like another exhausting simulator green flag who exists to serve the fl who doesn't give two flips about him...I hope I'm wrong 🤞

Cant believe they gave *nothing* at all away in the preview for next week...usually with an ending like that, they would at least show the character in question in the preview but i'm feeling so played rn lmao coz what was that ending ep 4??!

Oh no...i hate past connections lmao...but if it is the case maybe something to do with the black shirt guy who keeps appearing in the fl's visions and torments her exes

True...i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt since the opposite is usually true always 😂

They always set up the love triangle with the most obvious choice...like a childhood connection (for the fl) vs a college connection (for the ml). But I'm glad that the actual story is about two strangers meeting from scratch...

Wow really? I didnt recognize it at all...the rooms have a totally different layout haha...

The ride or die dynamics between saeng gang, gu cheon, and their dearest ggeomeoksali alone are enough to complete this show. I think I was unfair to this drama heading in with the mindset that it would be like Kingdom. Kingdom is a masterpiece and I will continue to compare every similar genre show with it, but The East Palace is a great watch in its own right. This show relies a lot on heavy gamey CGI/VFX scenes which aren't really my cup of tea and the shots themselves lose pacing coz of too much slo-mo. I think the plot twists could've also been limited to one or two coz it again drags down the main conflict and overall pace.

Regardless like I said before, the lead duo (and the cutest labubu demon in kdrama land ggeomeoksali) carry the show and keep it engaging to watch. Nam joo hyuk and roh yoon seo have great chemistry, very devoted kindred spirits vibes, and give gu cheon and saeng gang a dynamic that feels deeper than simple attraction but genuine love and care for each other. Their love language is literally going through hell to save each other even at the cost of their own lives and their confessions are not corny "i love yous" but "i'll save you over and over in every lifetime if i had to"🥹

I would totally be down for a s2 with this same trio, a tighter screenplay and fewer gimmicky graphics...

Wow a double goal with the title..."bloom" and "splendor"...😅😂

Yaa so exciting!

The fl is apparently han so hee!!

What an exciting pairing!!

Yaay! Hopefully better than the previous heartbeat 💔 excited to see who the fl casting is! I think chae soo bin and him would make a striking pair 😍
