I'm not getting my information from MDL and it's not the same story but I guess we'll see.
https://twitter.com/kdramacasting/status/1709754974220267788 and https://twitter.com/kdramacasting/status/1547819835282796546 different character names, different titles, different stories, announced a year apart, different dramas.

The premise sounds completely different, " she will act as Han Young-soo who is a psychopath has been trained as a member of the family planning team since she was young and has naturally brain hacking skills" even her character's names are different...

Bae doona just got cast in another show so this seems like it's not happening. I really hope that's not true, the premise sounds fascinating.

I'm only on ep 7 and my blood is boiling. I need every single of one of these f*ckers who had a hand in assaulting and re-victimizing this poor poor girl to have their life ruined. The monstrosity of not only raping her but having her get abused and belittled time and time again after doing it is just too much.

How about everyone else who was complicit? I'm gonna need everyone of them to burn, especially those guards who assaulted her while asking her to tell the story of what happened for their "investigation", those pigs

I was so excited for this and demon hunter's romance, being a cdrama fan is such an exercise in disappointment, if it's not the ccp banning all subjects known to man or butchering dramas beyond recognition it's actors acting like they were just born yesterday and don't know what country they live in or enforced episode numbers that make no sense...

Absolutely, I've noticed this lately and it's not just kdramas, it's cdramas and western shows too. It's like well written well developed female character has in often cases become synonymous with "woman who treats her love interest like trash".

Exactly, there's nothing I love more than interesting complex female characters but if your goal is to tell a love story you need to balance good character writing with a believable romance.

The best sageuk romance of all time, it was incredibly angsty but you believed BOTH these people would move heaven and earth for each other and if you're telling a love story, isn't that how it should be? It feels like a lot of these writers now think we want to self insert as the FL and I'm just like nah just show me an epic love story.

I truly miss the ride or die OTPs , kdramaland used to be FILLED with them, princess man, healer, it's okay that's love, queen inhyun's man and that's what I loved so much about these romances , two people who will do anything for each other, I adored female leads who knew what they wanted and fought for it no matter what. I feel like nowadays there's this trend of very dedicated male leads and the female leads are just like the "go girl give us nothing" meme and I don't get it at all.

If you're trying to sell me on a epic romance this is not the way to do it, that needs to have both sides be as equally devoted. This is not even remotely close to that, the FL is just always saying the most vile horrifying stuff to this man, if you want to watch a ride or die queen who gives back as much as she gets go watch Princess' man.

Is the drama following the novel closely? I'm thinking with censorship they cut a lot of stuff and made it flufflier.

the way your phrased that is very ominous, do they die?

I'm really interested in princess Roujia's story, whatever it is I hope they handle it with care and complexity and not just paint her as some evil woman who ends up dead...

The fact that this is now rated 8.7 is a complete joke, by MDL standards this is a 9 and nothing less.

I'm really liking this, it has its flaws, the biggest one being the politics and dialogue are too simplistic but the leads are great, the secondary characters are interesting and the story doesn't have any major plotholes.

They need to stop playing and film 2 or 3 seasons back to back which would be like 16 one hour episodes as in the length of a normal drama and they can split it then, if they keep doing it like this, we're never going to get the rest of the story, because the actors will move on and out of all kdramas I think there's literally ONE who's had a third season and very very few who've had a second...

I really hope they get the third season they wanted, these two are the most iconic sageuk writers in kdrama history and we need them to make a lot more shows especially since we barely get actual sageuks nowadays it's just youth dramas in historical clothing. I need another six flying dragons...

Anytime a chinese drama says "media reasons" I start shaking in my boots because it's never good.

We don't even have time for all their lifetimes why are we wasting so much screentime on this rando that no one cares about?
