I wonder who will play King Sansang/Go Yeonu, her second (and preferred, it seems) husband?

And yet this shitty 'writer' from MDL suggests that the controversy is ongoing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Byeong-kyu

A character called Kim Hee Won is mentioned in the synopsis but doesn't appear in the cast list . . . unless my eyes are deceiving me?

MDL is trying to sell itself off, so any 'controversy' makes it look more active - and therefore more valuable.

I can't see a cast member (yet) for King Go Nam Mu's brother, King Sansang (Yeonu), who she married after King Go Nam Mu died. I guess it's less 'romantic' if she has 2 husbands, particularly brothers, so maybe they'll end the story before that happens.

They've corrected it to Qing now.

This article says its set during the Japanese invasion but the drama's page says its set during the Qing invasion. Which is correct?

Does she ever vary her facial expression?

Maybe one or more dramas suggested that, but it didn't happen in real life. Dramas quite often suggest True Love when the reality was "Who else can I shag?"

It was like s2 had been written by a not-very-intelligent fan who thought there was insufficient cheese in season 1.

Hang on, Choi Soo Young is playing the daughter of a 29-year-old single mum?

The bland leading the bland.

It fascinates me that eyes turning blue is the sign of a demon/etc in Korean dramas (in Western ones eyes would glow red instead).

The people who do the subs for Viki - a very wealthy company - do it for free, and nobody seems to think that's an issue.

Headline: "Hong Kyung and Roh Yoon Seo Confirmed" vs body copy:

"Hong Kyung's agency Management mmm responded to the reports and revealed, "Hong Kyung did receive the offer to star in the Korean version of Hear Me. He is positively reviewing it. Roh Yoon Seo's agency MAA Korea also shared their side regarding the reports. According to them, the actress is also positively reviewing the casting offer. "

So not 'confirmed' at all, then? I see MDL's thickest 'writer' has been at the soju again.

That's all this 'writer' ever does. I've started reporting the plagiarism to the original source, as the mods here do nothing.

I agree, she's a very wooden 'actress' but her screechy fans will be living on this (and quoting it) for the next 10-20 years.

I was with you until you went into the shouty, religious crap. He's dead - he's not in anyone's 'arms'.

Many fans by definition are toxic. Admittedly, a lot of them are sad sacks, with nothing else going on in their lives. But the very idea that so-called 'fans' go into screechy meltdowns (the truck sent to someone's wedding ffs?) over a stranger's private life blows my mind.
And they are strangers. You don't know her or him. They are not your friends. They will never 'pick' you, however many times you wish them a happy birthday on MDL.

To fans: Get some help. Seriously. Take up a hobby, get a job, or have sex with someone you're attracted to. Or, here's an idea: become a genuine fan by buying their music or films/dramas (legally, otherwise you're just stealing from them) but leave them alone otherwise.

A very good, very enjoyable film. I know it's based on Fingersmith but I think they kept the mystery better here - what you think is happening isn't necessarily happening. It reminded me of Seven Queens, just with an added dash of LBGTQ+ erotica. Plus, fantastic acting all 'round.

This 'writer' isn't. I thought first of all he/she was just inexperienced. and didn't write English well. But now I think it's one of the mods/admin, vomiting up poorly translated articles from other sites as clickbait. MDL is trying to sell itself off, so has created a bunch of fake handles to drive traffic (which will affect the price).
