Overall, I like this production a lot, but I do not always share your POV. Quoting you: "In the words of the ugly black-hearted Heo Yoon Ok (Jung Shi Ah) – who’s perfectly getting on my nerves and grossing me out - slaves are talking beasts. They have no will whatsoever. They’re beaten up, ordered around, raped, and killed. The scene where the maid is killed because she refuses to abort her baby –who’s her master’s baby - sums it all too terribly". Yes, she is getting on my nerves as well. But as far as the quote, she is also mirroring what In Yub believed in the beginning of the drama. And also "In the heart-wrenching scene when In Yub is dragged to slavery, and she is taking her anger out on Moo Myeong she screams asking, ‘’how can a human being do this to another human being?’’ Moo Myeong gives her a reply that sends the chills down my spine, ’’You are no longer a human being; but a slave.’’ - Moo Myeong also reminded her of the first time they met, when because of her Dan-Ji was beaten severely, and also the fact his own back was not good enough to carry her highness. It's like they say, "If you want to know what it's like to be blind - put a rag over your face and experience it.." - now the high and mighty In-Yub can experience it all for herself.
So glad you wrote this piece..Nice appreciation for the talent and beauty of the older actors with this your idolation in Kdrama. I hope you can also write a piece about wonderful female actresses who are over 40... Thank you.
