Fujihara Tomomi

lmao, the first 4 minutes had my heart beating so fast. The suspense from that alone, bro......

Hirose Suzu and Kiyohara Kaya reunion!!!

Okay.... my honest reaction to the ending was WTF WAS THAT!?!! Why the hell would she risk her life for a SINGLE knife throw at a KING!??! Not to mention, in the most exposed area?!?! At least find a safe distance!!!! and that Jin dude!!! WTF!!! Didn't she save your ass?

Btw, I'm surprised they didn't do anything to raise a conflict between the 2 empresses. Having only 4 eps, I guess they don't have enough time, huh? I guess I watched too many C-dramas with all of those political shenanigans. XD

Thank god, I'm watching this when it's all released, otherwise, I'm throwing hands.

Overall, it was okay. For a Japanese production to be this good is really a surprise. The fighting scenes were really good too. The choreography, the camera movements, etc. You can feel the impacts and the fierceness of weapons. Not to mention, it's also rare to see an action heroine who is a spear wielder. I was on the edge of my seat every time there is a fight scene going on. However, the only thing that bothered me was the sound design of weapon clashing, it sounds like they haven't updated the sound design library for decades now. Those sounds sound like weapon clashes from old movies. XD

Ah, right!! Forgot to comment about the ending.

Edit: The build-ups all the way to S3 were superb. You have to give it a try. The 2nd and 3rd seasons have more episodes to develop the characters and of course, the world-building. (I haven't watched the anime, but have seen a few clips of it.) If you're the anime fans expecting the same things with the live action one, it's not gonna be the same. The world-building here is designed differently from the anime counterpart. They went on full fantasy mode for this drama. This drama also expanded past the story in the anime. They will expand the story until Chagum actually grew up and became a splendid ruler in his own right, and Balsa's journey back to her homeland that once shunned her.

Wow, the last episode- As an anime watcher, you know it's going to be something when there's no time for an opening song. AND IT WAS!!! I literally screamed with excitement for the last 20 minutes of the episode.

Omg XD didn't expect you to reply to this after commenting 5 years XD

Even though, I picked up the hints that Mitan is Yuko quickly into the movie, I still bawled my eyes out at that ending. I shed some tears in the Graduation scene when they finally revealed it. I thought that was it. Then it all came flowing when she started visiting her parents one by one. And damn!! I knew something was up when Mitan asker her mom to stay with her forever. I completely forgot about that down the road. Ughhh, I'm still crying.... DX

In the trailer: "You'll cry harder in a second watching."
"Heh, okay!"
*finished the movie*
"FK!!!!!!!"

I started sobbing from their reunion at the theater till the end. Bruh!! They really pulled a Hotarubi-no-mori-e move for that scene. That ending is a bittersweet one until you realized it's still a screenplay. Ughh shit, I can't stop crying.... ;-;

Alright, no between-glass kiss has ever made me cry this much. It was fun and cute at first until you realized what was wrong. DX

Ikr, even her fashion choices remind me of Roman Holiday. Her character visually screamed Audrey Hepburn lol.

Yes, yes~!!

I was watching the opening title, and "Teenage Balsu: Kiyohara Kaya" popped up, I had to double check to confirm my eyes. I legit screamed brooo XD And hey! she handled the spear fighting scenes really well. They even picked the right cast, they do look alike.

Alright, didn't expect that in the 2nd episode DX

It has spoilers on Vol 3 though. But I would rec you to read it first though. Do you still want me to spoil?

There are only 23 chapters available for pirated site. So yeah you have to buy them. My broke self can only wait ;-;

It's not gonna be released until September 27th.

It is a romance story.

They changed it for the international release.

XD Well, I did give warnings beforehand. I'm anxioux as hell too, they changed the direction of the story a bit, and even webtoon readers are freaking out because of it. ;-;
