So basically in ep 1 the king (through the licking scene) wanted to spread the rumour that his relationship with the queen is not very good so that the ministers dont plot to attack and kill the queen and rather suggest to dethrone her. Am i missing something?
Hmm... This is based on actual historical events but is taking more of a historical fantasy kind of approach.…
I think that's because it's very fast paced. They don't even have the time to explore so many characters in 4 eps. I guess they wanted to differentiate it completely from a typical sageuk. It's more of a serious action /chase fantasy drama i guess
I really liked how they used JCW's character here even after his death. He is like a connection between the past and future events and gives context and meaning to the present events. I also loved the quick backstory they showed for him and the queen, it implied that they were destined to be together. But they killed him too early πΉ...after watching this i really want to see JCW in another sageuk with 16 episodes π
Probably king poisen two timeOne someone poisen him from his enemy And one time with that drug overuse That's…
Yes this is plausible.i think the shaman's medicine was replaced with poison.i may have misinterpreted but i think the shaman didn't want to actually kill him
Well, well, well, I knew weβd get here eventually π. K-Dramas, one of the last bastions of pure storytelling,…
I see that you have a way with your words. But tell me this: why on earth are we comparing my mister, hospital playlist etc with this drama. It's an apple to orange comparison. You're making convoluted statements with fancy words only to hide your backward mentality. Are u saying that the drama you listed down are good because they dont have nudity or are you saying they are good because of storytelling etc. Because those 2 are completely different and not mutually exclusive. If you are saying that this drama didn't have amazing storytelling/emotions compared to the others i can perhaps agree to that but if you think adding some nudity will ruin korea you're stupid π
I like gritty, action thrillers and political sagueks (Taxi Driver, Memorist, The Crowned Clown) but this drama…
Yeah i didn't mean it as an excuse, i meant that it seemed they compressed a lot of things to fit in 8 episodes so perhaps it was written as 16/20 eps and there was lot of editing
JCW and JJS already did this drama and will be doing ads together too for hydrogen korea. If she was single perhaps i would have shipped themπ, well they seemed very friendly in the gym jong kook video

The story flow will definitely not be smooth in an 8 episode series. I really thought the episodes will be around 1.5 hrs atleast.Also i feel the scene between king and queen was quite necessary in terms of story. Well it is what it is...i still think it deserves 8+ atleast.
