I think they can change minor things but not one of the main event of the Novel and CV.

Im with you. I didn't even enjoy it, If you analyze it for what the situation really was not just because your melting for Lee Jun Ki it wasn't romantic. She was scared to death and he was sadden or hurt by her reaction.
When my bias does something bad in a drama I accept it and see it like it is doesn't mean I will stop liking him. but don't be all like his perfect when he is not.
And yes the make up scene was more intense for my taste.

and thanks for being nice about our misunderstanding. I had experience when the person doesn't accept we had a mix understanding or that simply we have different point of views. I will gladly accept my wrong doing when I see a humble person do it. So thanks again.

We had some mix communication lol I just don't like when people misunderstand me as a person because of a comment I make specially if I didn't mean it like that. I know you didn't but I felt that you were putting words in my mouth and like you said maybe I mistook your words too.
Even before this conversation, chat, discussion that we are having I already said that SHR was too much for me. The first episodes were balanced I think because it was more of introduction of all the princes we got to know them a bit more. I am a Romance lover type of gal so Yes If a drama or movie doesn't have Romance Is more than possible I will not watch it. Even on the books I read. When I watch a drama I get to much into it (that is just the way I am can't control it) So it affects my mood. This drama at the beginning was winning my slot for number one drama, It was unique how she didn't fall for the lead guy right away and actually loved another guy. Rarely we see that. But now the darker side of the drama is coming and I fear and feel preoccupied that Wook is going to turn evil or villain, That some of the princes are going to die. So is not excitement what I am feeling when I watch it I suffer hahah. Is like I feel what the characters feel. And in cases like this drama is Emotionally draining. I also understand when people actually like other parts of dramas or movies when is an action movie and they love that and don't care about the Romance part but there are people like me who love that part and even if secondary. I think for me it just a perfect mix when it has it.
In the novel at least for me is like she flirts with 13th prince, the 10th prince even do it was more a flirting friendship thing (I actually like she told him she did like him at some point just to make him feel better about himself) In SHR she was like nope and sorry. The 10th prince in SHR is very childlike with no first love experience so of course that hurt him. So his expressions and hurt feelings hurt me I almost cried hahaha. Baekhyun physical appearance and attitude is very childlike so I feel protective of him. So that didn't help.
Let me explain something I fall for the second leads almost 90 percent of the time, Wook is the perfect example. He very protective of her, he is nice and down to earth. When someone is in trouble he helps even do there is been times when he holds back and watches for afar. I think he does it in fear of not being in the good side of the king. We are in episode 9 we still have time for her to have her time with So. Viewers are just being bias because they like Lee Jun Ki they don't see beyond that. This happens almost in all dramas with love triangles, The just like the lead and don't care beyond that. They don't see who is the one that treats the lead nice or is always there for her. They are like the lead girl they don't care if the lead guy is a douchebag.
I'm sorry I am getting out of subject.
And now for me the darkness and sadness is overshadowing the Romance. Sadly but true.

I haven't watched the Chinese version but I am reading the Novel and wow so different I have to say I love the novel more than SHR. I love her interaction with the 13th prince. Her short lived friendship with 10th prince. They made him marry the 8th prince sister too fast for my taste well it felt like that in the novel. In the Novel she has more interaction with the 10th, 13th and 14th prince at least until what I read that is Chapter 8. Her interaction with 8th prince is just a few conversations and it was in front of her sister. Like two alone. Like I said at least in what I have read. Her interaction with the 4th prince is none existent at least until what I have read. The 8th prince is a douche to her at least until the 8th chapter. He sent his guards to hit her and he strangle her.

but why do you keep guessing my feelings and thoughts when did I say I prefer any Prince or dislike any of them? You went and told me Is Not about Romance when I didn't even said that. I just asked if they were going to follow the Chinese version. You went and said so many things in your comment like I was saying more in mine. When the other person ask about political or Romance I answered both. Please go back and read the comments. First of all I love Wook more than 4th prince. I haven't watched the Chinese version and just started to read the novel. Even do is only until Chapter eight I am looking where to read the rest in English. After reading the novel I see that everything is so different. And Even after you explain everything in the previous comments it goes back to Love which is linked to romance. Wook turns "evil" because of jealousy not about So wanting to be king but because of Soo. I love her relationship with all the princes even do she shares more moments with the 4th and 8th prince at least on SHR. I understand all her movements and decisions affects History. And before reading the Novel how could I think differently when I had only watch SHR when even you and the other replier is saying is more based on the Love triangle than her relationships with the princes. Please go back and read my comments and read yours I never said I like or disliked I simply asked a question and answered the other persons question.

You may think is not about the Romance or don't want it to be. But if the writer of the Novel or Dramas wouldn't want it to be based on Romance why give the girl so many freaking man to like or them liking her. She or He should of written about a bad ass warrior. Something like Mulan Where the romance was secondary. In this drama the romance is so in your face where in every corner she bumps into the 8th prince or 4th.
I am reading the Novel will let you know if my opinion changes after reading the Novel.

both

But is following the Novel too no?

Do you guys think they will follow the Chinese version? Because I just found out a big spoiler and that really threw me off.

Your Welcome =)

let me say that Jdramas are good but Kdramas are better but J Movies are way better than other Asian movies I have watched they will surely get you in the emotional department . If your interested on watching Try watching this one The Liar and his lover is in Kissasian most of the J movies I have watch are available there. You can also check my list.

I watch other Asian dramas too Korean, Taiwanese, Thai and Chinese but Japanese hold a special place in my list.

Yeah I think so too or maybe his mouth or smile.
I don't why I have the feeling the guy they are using for the drama is the guy who says Voice on top in the cast. He has a lot of things in common with Matsubara.

One of the best Korean movies I have watched. I usually turn my attention to another movies with this type of genre on American movies I can't stand them but this movie was on point. I just loved it. It was my second Korean movie I watched, the first one was Werewolf Boy.

No Romance? not even a tiny bit?

they blocked the MV =(

I just got traumatized as the guy doing the voice is a 42 year old man, I don't know if is him doing the acting or just the voice over. He can do the acting as his face is covered and just show a glimpsed of another teen male actor when they uncovered his face. Why am I just finding out about this hahhaa. Can they do that I mean used the actor who is doing the voice as he has his face covered? Or are they using another teen actor?
I just goggled the voice over actor and well he does have the same type of chin and really long neck. Coincidence? There's a picture of where Matsubara is trying to touch Yuiko's face in the rooftop and his hands are not of those of a teen. Maybe I am seeing things as I know that the voice over actor is a older guy. I mean they can surely use him and say they didn't it. Why pay double? No? pay for him to do the voice and another actor?

This is a cute teen drama with that said is slow but super cute.
