Baby MJ

But I think San & DI were to be reborn, DI may be literally the one who pull San into her bed.

I imagine this with Seyoung who teased 'Lie down.Let's go to our bed'
in behind the scenes of first night.

Haha. Junho is the shy one in the making.

Though TRS is perfect for me, I think it is by no means ' A Gateway Drama'.
It is too complex.

To enjoy it to the fullest , I use all of my knowledge from years of watching Sageuks

1.King Sukjong's concubines & his Ban on concubines becoming Queen,( Dongyi)
2.King Yeongjo , Sado ,Jeongjo dynamics
( The Throne 2015)
3.About YiSan life as King Jeongjo ,and his achievements ( YiSan 2007)
4.Noron Soron Faction Power play
( Sungkyunkwan Scandal)
5.Power dynamics between Joseon Royals and Nobles( Six Flying Dragons)

Apart from that, all that historical knowledge about his love for Uibin Seong and Deok Im's POV from the novel.

Combination of all of that makes me enjoy the drama.

It is so slow even for Slice of life Genre, I lose interest in the middle.

It is like Song Joong Ki switching to Han Seok Ku in ' Tree with Deep Roots'.

Both are charismatic , but have a weird feeling for the switch because younger actor can lead a drama of his own.

I cant help , but wish well for you two after TRS, my beloved

I am watching Love & Redemption
,I can stay with that couple.

Me with you , don't worry.
Though I think I have come out of my slump .

it is based on real historical events so if you can handle & crave for tragedy..go for it.

Bitter that they don't get even a magazine photoshoot.
Some K netz are complaining how they aren't given a couple CF after the drama's success.

What I find funny while watching their videos on youtube is that half of the koreans want to marry them off like they are literal reincarnation of their King and His beloved Consort and the others are like 'Don't force them, we don't want another Song Song couple'.

No I dont understand Korean either. I just look at the pictures.

I am a regular at dramabeans.
But there is not much discussion for RSC at dramabeans .

The pages I recommend are for discussion of RSC if you are interested ,of course.

Webtoon is more like the novel rather than the drama.
If we can see San and DI happy married life in webtoon, it will be a bliss.

Deok Im's colleagues are exactly as they are described, her friends ( G4)

YiSan's other concubines are
Won Bin & Hwa Bin.

The first one was too young & she was only a child in San's eyes,not as a concubine.
Later , she died.

For Hwa Bin , San tried to forget DI & cared for her.
Unfortunately, DI came back to the palace and she couldn't get attention from San. Later she mispoke about CP Sado , and all she could get after that is San's anger .

Techincally , it is based on true history and they both died 300 years ago.

Yeah, in the drama, the drama ended with reunion of ML and FL in the afterlife.
So the ML did die near the end.

But if you are asking about 'Main Character Death' tag, it is not the ML, it is the FL.

I think TRS is either 'Love It ' or 'Hate it' kind of drama.

I find that a lot of those who invested in TRS have some degree of drama slump after this.
( I cant find another drama with that much perfect acting or directing yet.)

Because this drama presents social patriachy without rose tinted glasses.
People ,who watch it with modern values ,will be disappinted.

I tried the first episode and I feel the same.
Her eyes and her gestures are not like someone who is in love with her best friend.
I see PHS character's feelings though.

Is it because of the story has not been presented from her POV yet ?

There are 3 scenes that may bother the audience with strong feminism values.
1. At the start of ep 8, when San is angry & Jealous
2. Ep 13 drunk scene

3. Ep 15 when FL is arrogant and bold & talks back to San & makes him angry after he has become a king.

All of them involves verbal dominance over FL ' How the King has complete dominance over a Court Lady '

I explain the whole ending ,so if you dont wanna read it, skip it.

I think she mean the forced kiss at the end of ep 14 while they are arguing.
