I WANT AN EFFING FULL STORY. OMG.

Since Korean series is notorious in making a one season show. I can't imagine how they are going to condense 5 season worth into 12 episodes. I can see it in a 24 but too short for 12, esp if they are going to do proper character storytelling.

ML is so handsome. lol

NETFLIX: Anybody know which country other than Philippines is this available?

Hated the ending. Since I hated how Doctor Foster end.

Tae Oh is despicable and I have zero sympathy on him. Everything happened because of his horrible action. Act 1 is when he ruined his family because of his infidelity. Act 2, he employed In Gyu which causes all the havoc. He never was sorry. Instead he blamed it on Sun Woo. Even to the bitter end, he refused to own it and selfishly commit suicide when he knows his son can see him.

Annoying thing in this series is the flipflopping of characters. And the worst of them all is Joon Yong. Up until the end, you have no clue what the boy actually wants. His actions don't align with his words. It was so confusing that it was hard for me to sympathize with him. I get it, he was caught up in the middle of the war between his father and mother. But why can't he set in the middle ground? Instead he either reject his mother and go with his father, or reject his father and go with his mother. He does not want them together. He also want them together. I wish they could have explored this more, because in Doctor Foster, it was a clear why the son left. And the motivation for flipflop.

The mother association was a great addition in the series, it makes it more Korean or asian.

I feel in Doctor Foster the suicide by injection is powerful and reflects a theme in that series. I wished it happened in the series. I did not really like the suicide by car of Tae Oh (altho, there was a parallel to this in Dr. Foster).

Because Mr Queen has no issue of sponsorship pulling it out. If sponsors are not supporting the show, then it is bound to be cancelled, simple as that. Networks don't give a damn if the show is an accurate depiction of history or whatnot, they care about profits, and if no one is watching (ratings declining) and sponsors are leaving (no money support), they will just cut out the show to avoid issues (which is netizens reaction).

Let's just say if this show causes controversy, and sponsors are still there. They will just treat the controversy as a free advertisement.

Writers should have just use a different name instead real life people in the history. But then again, the show actually have a disclaimer in the start of the show that:

The drama is FICTIONAL and does not accurately depict actual people, incident or specific period.

How dumb it is to demand a fictional show to be historical accurate, when it is on its core is a fantasy, supernatural drama in an alternate world/university context? If you want accuracy in your show, you need to watch historical documentaries, not a fictional fantasy supernatural drama.

The main problem really is sponsorship pullout. Had sponsors kept the money in, SBS will just ignore the netizens.

Ridiculous to ask and demand a fictional drama to be historically accurate. It's FANTASY. It's SUPERNATURAL. People are angry at how inaccurate the history is, how about the scientific inaccuracy?

SBS cancelled the show not because of historical inaccuracy. But because of sponsorship pullouts.

Currently on episode 7.

It was a wrong idea for me to stop watching and binge watch Doctor Foster. Coz I was so disappointed how Dr Foster ended. So please. I really hope the ending is not the sameeeeee

Finally a new HISTORY

oh really??

Not really a good show to watch if you can't understand Korean and had to constantly rely on reading subtitles. I got lost along the way because I do get distracted with other things, I probably would have appreciated the show more if I have that context.

Having said that, the show is pretty much all about power grabbing and manipulating situation to their own favor. There was a sub story on romance which was abandoned, and only revisited on last episode.

if you are looking for romance, it's not what you want.

Yep so much loopholes lol.

Same sentiment and question. Makes no sense too when you consider the plot twist. lol.

Please tell me that the FL actually have multiple copy of the same dress. If not, I feel bad for the actress for wearing the same one all throughout the series lol.

She died 5 years ago. But of course her body did not age, so in theory, she is older than the male lead. It will probably look weird for you since physically she is younger, and that's what you see on screen

That's the biggest gripe I have on this series lol.

Prosecutor and public defender should have recuse themselves from these cases.

Good run. LJS dramas don't disappoint.

I think they did not focus much on the mother because they wanted her to be the ultimate fairytale villain. I notice that a lot of kdrama they do tend to humanize villains/baddies for redemption but this is not in this case, since primarily they want to focus on the journey of the three main leads.

I agree with MY and GT relationship, which was also my main gripe of the series.
