Just as with Reborn Rich, people here mostly ignore all of the historical context. Only interested in whether boy gets girl. As if this was just a flawed and failed version of What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. How can people write about the drama as if the characters existed in a vacuum. When Cheol Woong was tortured by the secret police and forced to become an informer. When Doo Hak's sister was similarly tortured and is even in a relationship with the student opposition movement leader.

Prior understanding of the cultural context is a must.

This may come as a big surprise to you, but people have their own tastes and opinions. You have yours, I have mine. Capisce?

prior understanding of the history is a must, imo. Nothing conventional here, tragic undertones.

completely agree.

heartwrenching drama. like a Greek tragedy. Definitely not for everyone.

I think everything will get sorted out, happy ending.

well said indeed. King in Love, personally I loved that one.

There was a crown princess selection, the selected one got killed. The princess still alive is the crown prince's sister.

I don't see how people expressing their sheer delight with Lee Jae Wook's acting merits calling them fangirls. Derogatory.

No reason you should, better not trust the hype.

Yes, indeed. I don't know of any religion or philosophy that applauds revenge. Except old testament. Seems we're back in those times. Nobody says that dedicating one's life to revenge is an absurd and bitter way to live.

Finally the comment I was looking for. Expect to be slaughtered by the clueless though. 90 percent of kids don't understand when they're being taken for a ride.

The drama has its funny moments and bittersweet moments. But lots of empty moments with the same torturous music going on and on. There's only enough material for 12 episodes and so this is very draggy and boring much of the time. Consequently I got annoyed with both the fl and ml. ML is wooden 99% of the time. I found myself intensely wishing that Lee Jae Yoon had been the ML instead.

From Alchemy of Souls, Jung So Min would deserve an award. How's Seo In Guk a new actor lol.

Stellar cast, will def watch.

so many better dramas out there. But it's light and moderately entertaining.

Exactly, just a little bit of realism would have helped there. Being a psycho and having fun killing people is just not a credible motive.

Nice small drama but I was disappointed with the last 2 episodes. Why did he have to go and face Dr. Do alone and not inform the police where he was going, why didn't Ji Hyeon go in to listen to the conversation about the USB, why didn't the accused nurse and her gf stay around to help in capturing Dr. Do like the former ghosts. The other taxi drivers were forgotten away at during the last episodes, they could have helped in the car chase. A lot of dropped balls there.
