SPOILER FREE : Tragedy is beautiful.....but only upto a limit........
Hi Guyssss, How to END a show ??????? Kill everyone.......no human being, no show.... : )No Hurry cuties, everyone will get a chance to die....come one by one.....
Jokes apart.....What this show lacks has been replinished in "Mr Queen". Don't waste your time, go watch that. I will never ever suggest this drama to anyone in my entire life, coz thats TREASON. My regret is immeasurable, my day is ruined.
This series is very realistic in potraying the hardship of life of people in early medieval age in China, specially misogyny. Its good in a way but its so much FREAKING realistic that it crossed the fine line between drama and the real world(Worse than "Heirs"). Here I thought dramas are meant to make us forget reality for sometime.
Such beautiful characters wasted.
Spolier Alert.....
EP 1-11 : (Rating : 9/10)
The first part of the show was more than fantastic.It gave me butterflies, made me cry, made me rewind so many scenes.
1) The walking in the snow scene was one of the best.
2) The scene where Wang Wook(8th Prince) was forced to betray Hae soo(his lover) is one of the most beautiful tragedy scenes ever written and acted upon. It broke my heart.
3) Wang So's makeup.
4) Wang So drinking poison.
5) Next was the scene where Wang So(4th Prince) covers Hae Soo from Rain.
6) The hanging of the head court lady.
EP 11-20 : (Rating : 0/100000)
Just half way in the series, right after the death of the first king, the moment I thought the series has started going downhill, it really did without an exception.
1) That scene was, when I saw that Hae soo is back in the place shamelessly and has completely resigned from her cheerful and quirky self, and acts like a well behaved, fully controlled, dignified, gentle GRANDMOTHER, always bowing down her head, also to the person she loves. A person from the mordern world would rather die than act this way. I FREAKING HATE these kind of romances. I can understand, huge suffering can make anyone like that. But does it need to be so real even in a TV show....like....SERIOUSLYY!!!
2) Every king(even Wang So) is a blood thirsty, power thirtly, unreasonable moron. Thus they go crazy after sitting on the throne and die. No tears, you deserved that morons. Lol.
3) Everyone kills everyone and then blames it on Hae Soo and Hae Soo be like "Oh yeah......I'm so sorry." There is no saving of a stupid girl who takes every blame on herself.
4) Everyone opposes Hae Soo's marraige but no one opposes Eun's marraige. Idk why Baek Kyung even signed for such a pathetic role.
The writer in the heat of writing forgot that she has to keep at least some people alive in the series for it to run . Still good for her, looks like the show ran just fine.
I'm not saying this show is funny........Medieval ages really had crazy men with no moral compass, women who didn't dare show any self respect, nonsense and horrifying torture methods and literally everything is treason. I'm just saying that its so realistic that I didn't enjoy it . Such beautiful characters wasted. Like what the hell did I just watch. I have been putting off this show for 2 years, guess I did right until yesterday.
Good night. --____--

Underrated!! watch it...... : )
CAUTION : You won't enjoy this movie if you have a strong sense of justice and honesty, which is also the reason why this movie has such low ratings despite being such entertaining. So, take it lightly and watch it NOW...I'm a great fan of Park Hee Soon, but my ratings aren'y solely based on that, this movie is surprisingly good.
The plot isn't exceptional but the actors and their dialouges uplifted the movie to the peak. Funny scenes and humour, here and there, catch you offgaurd. You are going to laugh a lot.
Sometimes you need to watch movies like this, movies that don't make you sad or empty but satisfied with everything.
I'll certainly watch it again sometime later.

Enjoy reading down....
I literally felt no emotions while watching this. There is no thrill and mystery in this mystery-thriller movie.Kim Myung Min (Chae Yi Do ) : Nice person. Viewers at least would have been sad if he died, but he didn't. Regretful murder fail.
Jang Dong Gun( Park Jae Hyuk ) : Born to get humiliated by seniors. Never acts up, thus survived till the end.
Park Hee Soon ( Ri Dae Bum ) : Born to get beaten and killed by Lee Jong Suk. (watch "My Name"...he's ur new crush)
Lee Jong Suk ( Kim Gwang Il ) : Cute little flowery seial killer and keeps smiling uselessly. "I killed someone...UwU" kindda vibe.
Peter Stormare ( Paul Gray ) : Least scary and least seriously taken agent ever.
Choi Jung Woo ( Police Executive ) : Just another annoying senior.
Oh Dae Hwan ( Detective Kim ) : Just another annoying junior.
Jo Woo Jin ( Prosecutor ) : Top 10 anime betrayals. (watch "Happiness" to see him in full shape)
Things I liked :
1. makeup, cinematography and acting of the girl in the first murder scene.
2. Erectile dysfunction scene. That was a bit funny.
3. When Chae Yi Do was shot. I became sad but I wasn't anymore when I found out that he survived the gunshots.
Things I freakingg hatedd :
1. murder of Ri Dae Bum (I'm absolutely a fan of Park Hee Soon....the movie didnt do justice to this actor)
Movie fails :
1. Let alone serial killer, Lee Jong Suk was so cute throughout the whole movie, it took the movie downhill.
2. Acting was pretty good by all the actors, but not worth the story and script provided.
3. Murders were supposed to look sad and gory but it didn't not because the initial pity for the victims was never built by the movie....You know its not sad to lose a diamond ring you never had in the first place.
4. Everyone in the movie is like...."yea, Mr. Serial Killer, Kill me please".....I felt no pressure on the shoulders of the people from their superiors who were saving Lee Jong Suk(not potrayed properly).....He killed dozens of girls and got saved because of his dad's bank account, and at last after all this drama the movie ends with the fact that thers no money in that account and the guy saving lee jung suk all this time for the money didnt seem to be sad, angry or regret it much.

I had a lot of free time to waste, so I did....
Like, wth did I just see. Well again, its not like I didn't know that this movie is shit, but yea, I was in a mood like "Lets watch some trash"...lol. This movie is the best example of how to make a 1hr 30 min movie out of story that contains only one line. Death Bell 1 is better than this.I can't believe Ji Chang Wook starred in this movie, lol, guess most succesfull actors somewhat start from a trash project like this. Apart from him I saw other successful actors in it who did fantastic jobs with good scripts, like, Kim Bo Mi in Angel's last Mission, Son Ho Jun in Go Back couple.
So, yea, sure watch it.

The movie that never started...(SPOILER FREE)
The movie is : Police goes to house of the culprit, finds evidence that he is the culprit but since they are too shocked to react about it today, they just go back home, have dinner and come back the next day to catch the culprit only to find that the culprit has already burnt all the evidence.Police : Wheres the evidence?
Culprit : Burnt
Police : Where ?
Culprit : Kitchen
Police : Why would u do that?? leave the town right now, I can't stand you : (
The setting was so dark. Like, I know its supposed to be horror movie, but its so dark that you can't even see the ghost, how come its scary. lol.
This movie is full of cringe and pathetic dialogues, specially the acting of the little girl. It infuriated me so much that about 9999 times I felt like jumping into the movie and punching the actors.
The devil looks like a 3 year old's photoshop.
About 40 minutes into the movie I wondered when the movie would would actually start. Well, it never did. The movie ended from the 1st minute. I just did not realise. Google the movie, and just read the plot if you are too curious, don't waste your time watching the movie.
I totally understand why this movie is not popular, because, most people who realised how pathetic this movie is did a really good job in not recommending it to others. So, yea, DO NOT WATCH IT. Its not worth your precious time.
