I actually ended up really enjoying this one. PMY was as adorable and great as I expected. She has probably the most beautiful smile in the world. And I can see why Song Joong Ki became a big deal shortly after this.
It was really nice to get through a saeguk that wasn't full of pointless killing and the bad guys constantly succeeding.
Omg!! Episode 11 (I think that was it). It's canon! Well, half-canon? I've been shipping Yong Ha (Song Joon Ki) and Jae Shin (Yoo Ah In) ever since the few first episodes and in episode 11 it's been confirmed that Yong Ha felt attraction for Jae Shin ❤ oh my~ Too bad they can't be canon :( their scenes are amazing!!
Can you imagine living in a society where women were not allowed to acquire knowledge?, Where women were not allow to attend college?... It's a very frightful though t. We still see the injustice now days, when it comes to positions and salary, but compare to those eras... We have come a long way.... Anyways, Yoo Ah in, AKA, the most sensual lips in kdrama, should have been the main lead. I don't find anything appealing in Park Yoo Chun as the ML.... It's funny to see Joong Ki character here since I only remember him from DOS... I haven't finished the drama yet, I'm on episode 17, so I'll update after the finale.
I loved this drama. Every time I think of it, I get good feelings. One of the best historical dramas I've watched. I was just ready for it at the right time. Great actors, not overly dramatic--just the right amount of drama, comedy , romance--everything seemed perfect. It's been a couple of years and I think I really do need to watch it again. You should at least try it--It's totally worth it! Enjoy!
this is pretty much the only drama I had second lead syndrome to...i just really did not vibe with the male lead. but moon jae shin....i love him and felt he had better chemistry with the FL (that might just be me loving yoo ah in though) LOL
one of the few KDRAMA series that I love every single one of its characters. I was literally crying in every episode....love love love love it...xoxoxoxo
but that part at lee sun joon not knowing the basics and still inexperienced when he's got beard already, this guy ...:-)
