I was gobsmacked, whenever I want to give the drama a rating less than 10 because of the story, I quickly swipe…
Exactly! he was so menacing, so odd, so compelling and repelling all at once. He was the perfect example of a king that would actually have caused horror. The rest of the show for me was just so so but he alone made the show elevated. This shows how seasoned of an actor he is at his age.
The resume of this drama really sucks but actually, it's a good one. So don't hesitate to try it, you will not regret ! The two main leads are really great in their respective role. Their acting is awesome and they really fit their role.
The acting done by the actor Choi Min Soo for the character of king Sukjong was pretty darn incredible. I give the show an extra 0.5 over my original 8 simply because the character was just so well done. intimidating, really like a big horrid tiger with 100 eyes and 1000 ears. Impressive stuff!

What a surprise! Interesting script, no soapy romance, well cast! Jung Kwan Ryul as King Suk Jong gets an Oscar…
Wait, Jung Kwan Ryul? Did you mean Choi Min Soo? He was so wicked I remember him in this role a full 7 years later even though a lot of the acting has otherwise gone hazy... Phenomenal, though, unless there's a younger version of the king that you mean in which case I'm experiencing amnesia. :)
What a surprise! Interesting script, no soapy romance, well cast! Jung Kwan Ryul as King Suk Jong gets an Oscar for perfect portrayal of a monster king! ML was outstanding and support cast made this historical kdrama exciting. Glad that evil Lee In Jwa got the worst punishment ever! Great viewing!
Basically, they dated but not when she was a minor . They broke up and years later she committed suicide and because…
Always has been. Kim Soo Hyun has nothing to do with Sae Reon, since they are just exes. It was this evil Garo Sero who ignited the entire drama that made Kim Soo Hyun the main target. And honestly? He's a scapegoat.
Kim Sae Reon's main issue is that she was involved in a DUI case where she damaged a power station, causing a small village to lose power. Then Knetz canceled her leading role, terminated all her brand endorsements and other projects, and left her with a big pile of debt. But that didn't stop there. Knetz bashed her non-stop, posting that she was faking her "part-time cafe job" and that she was also "gambling", etc. Sae Reon even visited all the shops and apologised for the damage she caused, yet knetz destroyed her soul and did not allow her to return to the industry.
Then, some time later, her life is already miserable at that point. Seeing Kim Soo Hyun's drama "Queen of Tears" become a big hit, surely it made her jealous, and she posted an intimate photo of them without a context, and that became louder, which led to another stirring scandal, with Kim Soo Hyun's toxic fans calling her an attention seeker who wants to get back with Kim Soo Hyun following his drama's success.
The point being these have nothing to do with Kim Soo Hyun's. It's the knetz people and toxic KSH fans who canceled and bullied her that led her to her own death. Then Garo Sero came out and uses her death to make KSH the main picture while Knetz immediately join because obviously they're washing their hands after what they did to Sae Reon.
that's why it's a spectrum. why do you feel the need to bring this counter opinion? Autism just like OCD is on…
I haven't watched the show so I can't really speak confidently about this topic, but I think what the OP is trying to say is that a level 1 autistic woman with very high IQ would most likely resort to masking to the point where she almost blends among the neurotypicals, which is true, and it's the reason why females are rarely diagnosed with autism. It is very uncommon to see level 1 autistic female with high IQ not being able or not resorting to masking. (I haven't seen the show yet so I don't know if she really has no masking skills, but I've seen the trailer and I was kind of put off by the portrayal too, because it was similar to Good Doctor who was barely communicating. Some misinformed writers/directors mash so many autism traits in one person and do not realize that with their high IQ, they realistically would've probably been able to mask them). This is not to say that there aren't autistic people who would behave like this. It's just very uncommon among this specific category of people that the show is trying to portray (female + high IQ + level 1). I'm not sure about the "we are not child-like, innocent, or naive" claim though, maybe she means that "not all of us are" but misspoke, because these are common personality traits, even though it can't be generalized.
This drama has an annoying format, one episode is filling, other one is story progression. Like 11 filling 12 story progression 13 filling 14 story progression 15 filling...
