Spoiler!! Episodes 22 and 23 were a massive let down to me. (Pregnancies and babies and whatnot) I'm so into this…
I guess now u know why the pregnancy is crucial to the plot...
Glad to know u still think it is a masterpiece ... I could tolerate the few inconsistencies up until the very end.... the last plot twist is a complete let down for me... U'll know when u get there....
I would like to know what u think about it ... not too many people noticed what you did..... that ep. 23 was a turning point in the writing.
When ever some one mentions this drama, it makes me feel really sad. D: I regret watching it not because it was…
I forgot ...sorry... yes ...the 1st time , she came to the palace to kill the emperor and became a maid ... she thought he killed her father...truth came out eventually... she realized he is just a childish puppet and Temur ruled over it all.

Yes...Love triangle is perfect description... But the story is about her life... a lot more than just romance .....
She was good friends w/ both when they thought she was a guy...
they both loved her w/ unbelievable dedication and passion from the beginning ...
by the end she loved both .... NO betrayal tho... there is a reason why she was w/ the one she loves then she was forced to leave than ended up loving her husband.
about : emperor treats her like shit and she seeks revenge on him ...Huuuhhh???
the emperor was in love w/ her all along .... defied everyone .... moved heaven and earth...just to make her his empress... he never even glanced at any of his concubines .... and he waited until she was willing to be w/ him.... (except , he was forced to marry his enemy's daughter and forced to consummate or all hell will break loose)...
The love letters were forged by his enemies in order to drive a wedge b/w him & Nyang ... he kept quiet b/c he loved her... but it drove him to drink & suspicion ... yet he still loved & defended her...
At this point he became an alcoholic and grew drunk w/ power as he tasted it the 1st time after being a weakling... he became suspicious of everyone (esp. believing Nyang betrayed him) ... and became a tyrant.... I think it was perfect Character Development !!!
Ki wanted to be his concubine b/c she wanted revenge on his & her enemies ....
the story is very complicated...much more than romance... the 2nd half is weaker than the 1st...
Is Full House really that good ???...b/c from the clip , it does not seem as if the acting was good....
My first 2 Lakorns both starred Ken ... he is Amazing and got me hooked....
I started a 3rd popular lakorn... but the bad acting is putting me off.... reminds me of some Taiwanese over-acting rom-coms....I hope Full House isn't that style .
I hate intruding on actors' personal lives.... especially before an investigation is finished and all the facts…
1)...I said physical abuse is "very wrong and a CRIME"...
and...besides the Psych problems, --->>" LACK of MORAL Value" & "WEAKness in Character" .... ...... plus...Rarely a one-time event !!!
I am Not Condoning his behavior! ...
Also,
2) ...Let's NOT be JUDGEMENTAL, as all "People have faults"
3).... give him a "CHANCE to admit... &... CORRECT it" ....
Just what some experience in Life has taught me about my own Judgmental arrogance in youth ...
She has truly earned my respect , after watching her in "Fated to Love You" ...
She took a weak , meek , obedient , doormat , dumb "post-it" girl .....and.... created a soft-spoken , super-nice , sensible & sensitive smart woman ...
She gave the character DIGNITY !!! .... any other actress would have made "post-it" girl pathetic (probably pouting , over-crying, and cowering needlessly)..... Bravo Jang Na-Ra!
Spoiler!! Episodes 22 and 23 were a massive let down to me. (Pregnancies and babies and whatnot) I'm so into this…
I don't understand why you got put off by the pregnancy... she was w/ Wang Yoo for a while , as his soon-to-be wife ....it was expected ....
Actually , the pregnancy plot line is crucial to the rest of the story ...

From ep. 23 on , there were several Inconsistencies .... that ruined the perfection that was in the ep.1-22.....
BUT.... it is WORTH Continuing , imo .... the character development is Very Worthwhile ! .... and the story does not go too far off the track ...
Nonetheless , I was extremely disappointed w/ the writers after that ... seemed like a patch up job and last minute changes to the plot .... idk why :((
I never understood before those people that write fanfiction, imagining all sort of alternate stories and endings…
Please, let me know what you think when you get to the end.... he's the only one w/ emotions difficult to figure out... I understood his brain and dicisions... but not too clear on the emotions... <3TalTal
Actualy , rethinking the comment by @Geanina ... I agree.... The Emperor and the King are strong contenders.... But , she should have been attracted to the "utterly smecsy circumvolutions of Tal Tal's brain"... and... Vice versa....XD
I found the character Kawee very interesting ! .... He is very cruel at first.... a self-centered, arrogant and jealous child doing bad things to get attention !.... But , I understood his motivation and what created him ... (I do NOT condone his behavior !!! )
Ken's performance made Kawee Vulnerable and let me Sympathize w/ him ......
--->>> He gave the sense that.... Pain and Anger rather than Self-Entitlement .... are at the root Kawee's bad behavior.
Also, Kawee was so intrigued by Narin and attracted to her from the start ....BUT.... he was Not Conscious of it --->>> b/c Hate , Anger , Revenge are the Only feelings he is Familiar w/ ....the Only feelings he is Comfortable w/ ....
When he started feeling love and sympathy for Narin, against his will , his emotions were conflicted b/w Love/Hate/Revenge .... This confusion , I believe, made him even more Enraged , and led him to lash out at her more!
Later, he was even more angry, and lashing out, b/c she was rejecting HIM (who is she to reject a Prince!?!? ..lol) ... and most importantly, --->> b/c he KNEW she cared for him, yet she continued to reject him, and often in public!
It's better to DL ... Do NOT watch the YT version!!! .... besides the lower quality videos,
----->>>>> ... YouTube version has scenes CUT OUT !!! .... <<<<<-----
I hate intruding on actors' personal lives.... especially before an investigation is finished and all the facts are revealed....
I feel this article Should have Waited .... ... b/c that is only grounds for rumors and innuendos...
I also don't like being judgmental ... I believe it is very wrong and a crime when a man is physically abusive to women or children (it is rarely a one-time issue) ..... ..... I believe we all have Good and Bad side .... but it is difficult to understand when someone crosses the line ...
--->>> b/c I think I would Never do that ! ..... --->>> thus I AM being Judgmental !
The reason is one of two things, and the lines may be blurred .... either he is a truly bad person ....OR.... there is : ... A).. some Psychological problem of anger management... .... B).. the lack of a Moral Value that says "this is wrong" ....and.... C).. a lack of Strength-of-Character that says "I am weak and I should seek help to stop this behavior"
Correcting that is not easy ... it takes strength to admit to a personal weakness and resolve of wanting to correct it ... and time is needed .... BUT , it is possible.
So in conclusion I say ....
1) let's not judge before all the facts are out ...
2) let's not rush to be judgmental even if it true.....People have faults , some more than others...
3) if it is true , give him a chance to prove he is willing to admit to a problem and willing to correct it.
"Princess' Man"... is also my all-time favorite .... It is the only show , that I found , came closest to perfection (not exact, but closest) ....for all its qualities !!! ..... (the 1st half of "Empress Ki" is also the closest to perfection, IMO...
"Rashomon" ..... it's been years since I last saw it , but I remember really enjoying it .... Of course , I love anything by Kurosawa .... I vaguely remember the plot , but , I still remember the Mood it created.... .... ..... I hope you enjoy it ...
But , such excellent quality is rare .... so I am lenient in my ratings ....
in "Best Time".....The Couple, their Love , and the Acting ...rate among the very highest for me !!! ....everything else is so-so.
....again I repeat , my love for Lu Li-Chien ..... who I rate as 2nd only to Mr. Darcy in his manliness and perfection :)) .... (I'm sure their are a few others, I just can't recall any)...
This was a good drama and I liked it, but I disliked male lead Song Yi's character; throughout the drama I found…
Maybe you didn't read my spoiler above.... if you don't want spoilers, finish the drama , then we'll discuss....
I will tell you that SY's LOGIC is TWISTED !!! .... He's going out w/ her in order to "take care of her" ..... .....1) the least he could've done is break-up w/ Su Man first ---> HYPOCRITE ! ...... .....2) why doesn't he understand that going out w/ a girl he doesn't love only hurts her more ? ... and he's hurting her parents , whom he claims he wants to honor and seek their forgiveness for his previous mistake ! --->easing his own guilt in a very SELFISH way ! .... ...... 3) if he wants to protect her , do it from far away , by finding her another man to love her.... Stay away and don't hurt her parents further --->MENTALLY DISTURBED !!!
the younger sister's obsession.....in love w/ a voice for 6 yrs... is even crazier than Su Man's
--->>>>LLC and Su Man's interactions/chemistry..... the natural love development.... LLC as the perfect specimen of manhood....LLC's passionate love.....and Wallace and Janine's acting ..... I concentrate on those things .... if the drama had those alone it would be perfect !
