You mean the FL? She went to bed with her husband the night of her wedding.

In Joseon era captain Gu like most men had little consideration for married women who "met other men" by will or by force.

In Joseon, there was very few open minded men like Jang Hyun.

This drama is set in Joseon era but it promotes very modern ideas on couples and relationships to help viewers to be open minded.

She consumated her marriage the night of her wedding. She said she would be a good wife and good wife bed with their husband the night of the wedding. After she said that, she is seen outside at night alone watching the moon. She did her wife's duty. She was married and a good wife for years. Impossible she did not sleep with her husband for so long when she has no reason to refuse her husband at night.

That translation of korean words into chastity might not be accurate. I agree with you. It's more like people says she has been dirtied by the invaders. Maybe a korean speaking person can clarify.

Plenty of roadlock on the path of their "romance": The Princess and Ryang Eum. That guy has been trying to separate them for years. He does not have the courage to confess and stop his schemes to allow ML to love who he wants to love. As for the Princess, she likes the ML, she is possessive and she will stop at no dirty schemes.

OMG these two cheaters are so cute ...

...enjoying the precious time they have together chit chatting, showing their concern and love, walking, confessing, hugging, kissing... when she is married, and he knows she is married. Cheating is acceptable under certain conditions, I guess.

And what about Ryang Eum. This boy should muster the courage to tell Jang Hyun that he loves him not as a brother but as a man. Who knows, this Joseon kdrama seems to have an open-minded view about couples and their relationships. Maybe Jang Hyun likes him too. They can become a couple before they find Gil Chae and form a threesome or polyamory relationship?

Jang Hyan disappoints me so much. Why ask her to stay with him when he knows she has a husband? After letting all her love feelings flow to her ex-suiter, Gil Chae remembers to go back to her husband to clarify things... Tada! They made him even worse than before. I knew they would dirty him but not with that ridiculous manner haha. The guy has a wife and his going to be a dad!

OK, that shitty Husband/cuckold/cheaters arc of story has finally ended.

Agree it was good. Hope the whole drama will be that good.

I thought that the main couple would survive in the end but the ending is better than expected for me.

I wish to know how she built that house on her island but I am also glad that they did not drag the story of her exile. Maybe we will see later some scenes with her time on the island.

ML is ML like it was in Start up but maybe she will end up with the SML...

I think it is a huge spoiler as it gives away one of the main reason of the feelings and actions of Ki Ho. Someone who has not watched it yet should not be informed of that beforehand. It spoils the experience.

Pretty sure Jung Ki Ho will have a different name later. No romance tag here on MDL but romance is likely.

Dang, you are not afraid to spoil the drama for people here. You should really use the spoiler tag. I guess many people will forget about it especially if the drama is good.

Not sure if we will see them again in flashbacks but they were really good in the first ep.

First ep is so good. It is fast paced but it has everything. A solid backstory with endearing teen characters and emotional moments. Can't wait for ep2.

The way you present it, it looks like all actors are paid after each episode and they are all paid the same amount for every drama they are in. In reality the production presents its project to the actor and they negociate a global amount of acting fees based on the project. An actor can play in a 12 episodes drama and earn 1.5 million and he can play in another 20 episodes drama and earn 1 million. Different actors receive different fees on a drama and on other dramas they will be on.

Of course, it is always possible to say 1 million/20eps, the actors is paid 50 000 per episode. But for the actor, what matters is his global acting fees that he negociated beforehand in contracts that even determine changes in the fees if there are additional episodes, or cancelled episodes or if the drama is cancelled or renewed or has reshoots and so on. Some actor can even refuse by contract to play in additional episodes because they are booked on other works already.

This is why actors have agents and lawyers. To foresee and arrange all this beforehand for them. The result is they receive an agreed acting fee by contract that is not always correlated with the number of episodes that were shot.

The actors would be stupid to be paid by number of episodes.. If your name is Kim Soo Hyun and you will not accept to be paid by the number of eps because the ones paying you would go nowhere without you.

Again 12 eps x 90 minutes are same as 16 eps x 60 minutes. The total hours and minutes are the same. No matter how you slice it.

The actors are probably not paid by the episode. They surely negociate an amount for the whole project. As for the crew, they are paid by hour. They will spend a booked amount of hours. Pretty sure this production is a big as a 16eps drama.

How is it a short drama? 12 x 80 mns is like 16 x60mns. It is just that each ep better be good so ppl don't get bored.

There is nothing wrong for a community or a group of people to support a work they like. Nobody forces anybody anyway.
