UNDERRATED GEM
"When the court ladies dye their sleeve ends red,it shows that they are the king's ladies."
Yi San:- Do you belong to me?
Sung Deok-im:- "Of course,You Highness.I have taken an oath to serve and protect you forever."
Yi San:- "Then, does your everything belongs to me? Your thoughts,your will and your heart, do they belong to me?"
Sung Deok-im:- "This isn't so , Your Highness. Even a palace maid has her own will and heart. l, even though they may seem trivial to others."
Just finished the drama and there is not a single word that can truly describe what I'm feeling right now. I want to cry so badly and I have never felt like this before in any of the tragedies I have ever watched. I don't know why this drama is not hyped,not popular,not in the list of recommendations for kdrama fans-it should be on the first slot.
This drama was achingly sooo beautiful. It makes you cry so much in its ending episodes. In the episode 16 - It makes you feel so happy that finally the leads are becoming a family but there is this feeling/emotions you feel from the female lead that this is not the life she wants. Throughout the episode you want to feel bad and you want to feel happy. There are sweet moments of their married life, joy of becoming one but then she misses her life, she misses the life she wanted to live. It's just she loved him much more than her life. The scene where her friends are going home during a day off and a past verison of her bids farewell to her -is just so overwhelming that it pains so much.
In the episode 17,the whole world just shatters in front of the leads - it's not that the male lead was bad or didn't care about female lead's intentions- he wanted to protect her,love her and make her his family-but sometimes it's not the only ending a love story demands. Sometimes the sacrifices are necessary for one to live. In this episode how badly you just want to hold the female lead but you are sitting helplessly here at the other side of the drama world as audiences.
And you know ,from the first frame the story was told from a feminist point of view and the struggles the females were suffering from ,the emotions they felt,the life they lived and wanted to life- the portrayal is just insane ,just so humane and beautiful and aching.
You still know that the King too had to suffer a lot - like loosing your One son,then wife who was pregnant- and you are still attending the royal court,meeting your duties, crying inside and suppress your emotions just because you are the King- it's so painful and depressing. Both leads were suffering so much emotionally. They had each other but they didn't too.
