This K BL does not deserve this bad rating (considering that are such awful lame Thai BLs with higher rating). The plot is interesting enough and I think pretty Eom Se Ung is the sweetest as the delivery boy (these days we can see him in My Man is Cupid). Bum Jun delivers on his first acting experience and chemistry with Se Ung, nice enough kissing here, but the casting of Suk Young as a "top model" is the worst of this BL. We know the standard of beauty and talent in the K model industry and this guy does not score in any of those. It is painful to see him trying to act and worse trying to model. Another series almost ruined by bad casting. I disagree that the storyline does not make sense, it does, it is about a guy with ambition who used a naive boy, and dumped him and he is generous enough to forgive him. This is basically what this BL is about

Agree with people who commented before that the storyline was not bad, but the graphic violence and sex have the contrary effect, instead of supporting the storyline weaken it. The characters were so disgusting, the female lead included. The only that I understand his intention and reasons for being is the former lover. This character was the most rounded. The ending that tried to be cryptic is ridiculous, the whole film we know that the former lover was the father I not even have to hide my comment as spoiler, the boy was born prematurely and the former king could not have sexual intercourse since before marrying the female lead. It was said clearly. so what was the reason she has to be so cruel?

I think it is clear was from his former lover because it mentioned the King could not have sexual intercourse (and not just because he was poisoned in the last year) apart everybody claimed that the boys was born prematurely but she was so cruel that it did not even give that consolation to his former lover when he was dying despite by poison.

I have seen a trailer that the ex wife comes back with a child (I guess not his) but who knows how that it is going to play into the storyline

Thank you!

I do not understand what you are saying? the English language is quite adequate maybe you could try to use it.

I really don't understand why you come here to insult the majority of viewers with such an obnoxious misogynistic comment. If you don't like it fair enough, it is your opinion but why make such an insulting comment like this?. This drama has it all, yes the visual sensual couple but also the plot. I actually quite like the storyline. I felt particularly offended because I may be one of the few that actually does not like Song Kang!!! I felt he has made his way into K dramas on account of his looks. His performance in Nevertheless was terrible (well it did not help the script was rubbish and the pairing worse) but in My Demon he is really doing a good job. So please show some respect to the audience who are enjoying this drama!

If I could rate this 20 I would. It has it all, the perfect visual CP with a chemistry to burn the screen, the storyline, the great performances of the cast and the best kisses in the history of K dramas!!. Yoo Jun and Song Kang have raised the bar of Korean CPs far too high. We knew Yoo Jun is the Queen of K dramas but this is the best performance I have seen by Song Kang that in my humble opinion has moved in K ent mainly on account of his looks, his performance in Nevertherless was terrible but the script and the pairing did not help him either. This is such a rewarding watching so I strongly recommend it.

This was such an enjoyable drama. I still don't understand why the low rating instead of obnoxious cheesy and lack of originality dramas like Welcome to Samdalri is at 8.4!? In this drama there are original elements, the comedy timing particularly by Rowoon is amazing. He is definitely a super comedy actor. There are such endearing characters like the three "spinster" sisters, such great female characters strong, intelligent, and superior to men at all levels, so refreshing to see in a K drama. My only complaint is that they did not have enough screen time with their CPs, those couples were sassy and a joy to watch. I highly recommend this drama.

It sounds like a plan! thank you

Thank you for acknowledging this. The most important is that you gave yourself time to reflect on and changed your point of view for the better.

Thank you, but there are dramas at the moment that are so enchanting from the get-go: The Story of Park Marriage Contract, My Demon, My Man is Cupid and not as good but very watchable as the Matchmakers and the recently finished Moon in the day. I was hooked from the first ep, instead hereI am ep 4 and still finding a reason to keep watching.

thank you, yes! I actually like his character very much, it is quite multilayer as you said.

I will try thank you

Well said Yani, thank you for your comment.

This is not for me, I reached episode 4 and I cannot stand more repetitive flashback (how many times do we have to see the same scenes that are the reason why she is back in the Island) shouting, cheesiness and annoying characters, and I even have fallen asleep through the episodes because it is so lacking in originality. We have seen other good K dramas about "happy village life", Hometown cha cha comes to my mind but despite the sound performance of the cast and the great sisters' rapport, the oldest being my favourite, the dialogue and the flashback are so repetitive and how many times do we have to watch the same dynamics of the CP repeated in different years, it is all the same!!! but the shouting of the FL is the worst. Could anybody please tell me if there is something redeemable about this series and that I should persevere? Why people have rated it so high???

Not for me sorry, a total miss. I started watching and by ep 4 I cannot stand the cheesiness, the shouting. the central characters are deeply annoying

what are the rumours about him? I do not follow celebrities' gossip. I only watched K dramas a lot. In this particular series, I found him a tad robotic, and other people have done the same comment, but he is OK, he is adequate. I am looking forward to the second season.

Yes, one of those terrible ones. Atrocities have been committed in the world by the so called people in power and weapons and are still happening. Who ever the perpetrator is and whenever in the history of humanity happening all are condemnable and shameful. In the XVI century when Spain/Portugal invaded what is now the territory of Central and South America they wiped out entire indigenous populations, it is estimated that only 30% of people survived in the stronghold of indigenous people e.g. Mexico and Peru. Some died due to the "exported diseases" but a significant number to murder, torture, and abuse - some committed "for fun" and "experimentation". This led to another abominable situation: the trading of African slaves to The Americas. I am not questioning the terrible events that are the framework to this fictional series but I strongly disagree with the person who made the comment that innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki deserved to be bombed to pay for the war crimes of their army/government. This thought lack compassion and humanity. If you see the number of likes in my message, a lot of people thankfully agree with me. Please also read this reflection on the issue: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/09/dont-let-the-victors-define-morality-hiroshima-was-always-indefensible

Your train of thought lacks humanity and empathy toward innocent people, apart is a very partial view of the world. Have you read how the US sprayed Napalm over whole villages in Vietnam leading to the horrifying death of people living in those villages? They were also "experimenting without anesthesia" in a very large scale! So, the whole US deserve to be bombed, is this what you are saying?
