I can't imagine why this has been rated so low, and we'll all be better off waiting until it ends to rate it. As is always true. Always. But having said that, the rating the show has right now is complete dog wash. I recommend watching this. It may end absolutely awful--always a potential with a cdrama, but this is definitely worth watching as it airs.
What an interesting show so far. This is so detailed, from the setting to the hairstyles to the family relationships. This looks like one of those shows that's like the Story of Ming Lan, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Why, oh why, do they take a perfectly charming, perfectly romantic fairy tale story like this and stick political intrigue all over it? They spoiled Princess Hours this way, too.
Stylish, engaging noir with plot holes the size of craters. Watch it because it's entertaining as all get out, but turn off your critical faculties first.
TTR-The Truth Review's review above is outstanding. They manage to highlight every thing I despise in a FL. I'll be avoiding this drama like it's radioactive.
It's like they read or watched a hundred fairy tales to figure out what's best about them, and then rolled that into this drama. (I did think the iconic scene from "Titanic" was a wee bit much, though.)
And a Mercedes dealership.I want those Crocs, though.
I've seen that kind of chicken before on shows. Doesn't it have a mayo coating, or something like that (kind of gives me the ick, but different strokes, etc.) Not KFC.
I like this. The more episodes I watch, the more episodes I want to watch, which is the mark of a good show to me.
But holy shit with political and war shenanigans. I can't keep straight who's who and what their goals are so I really have no idea who the good guys are. I realize that it fundamentally doesn't matter and watch the show that way. But yikes.
This plot sounds pretty messy, although it probably makes more sense when you're watching. But I'll be very curious to figure out what point the show is trying to make. (We still expect dramas to have some underlying theme or point, right? Unless it's just sheer mindlessness idiocy or porn?)
so the tattoo is fake.. we need a tattooed lead one of the days (visible)
It's not that you're wrong. It's that 1) A permanent, visible tattoo (except something very small) will affect an actor's career negatively 2) Knetz are vocal, hostile, and intrusive (nosy). It is not in an actor's best interests to fire them up over something trivial like a tattoo.
A remarkable character actor. Any long-time Kdrama watcher will have seen many dramas with him in a prominent role. A loss to the entertainment industry.

Nevermind.
