Hushin and Jimin are meeting up and going on dates, but I guess they did not yet officially start dating.

Yeah the issue is me not being first time watcher ..

But if only thing that it improves from original is the production value, then... it's not enough for me. Especially since i actually liked the less mainstream vibe the original had since it fits the story. That's why I'm trying to figure out if Korean version improved the original or differ from original in any meaningful way 😅

I'm not saying it didn't receive criticism, I'm saying this person did not criticize it and yet you still were passive aggressive, in this specific reply for no reason. You basically replied to all the overall hate the show got, and now to what the user actually said themselve

I'm still hesitant if i should put it on ptw or not. I'm for sure not watching it this year since i finished the original not long time ago, still too fresh in my memory, but I'm thinking about watching at some point. Here's the thing tho, i think there are 3 types of justified remakes:
1. original is outdated coz it was made many years ago
2. Taking the essence of the original, but adding enough new tweaks to make it its own project
3. Following original as closely as possible, but making it better (this happens with smaller productions, or indie projects etc.)

But from comments I kind of see that... this drama fits none of the categories. So I'm not sure i should watch it just to get disappointed by the end 😭

You are so overprotective over this korean version you are being passive agressive even towards people who say they don't mind korean version being popular.

I'm rewatching the show and I remember there were quite a few people who said everyone judged Jang Hyun and said he was playboy when it was just a rumor, and that even viewers only had the rumor going on, but the dude literally in episode one names all the different type of women he dated 🤣 And then he got annoyed Gil Chae judged him based on the rumors, but bish, the rumors WERE TRUE 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Guys, go watch After Signal, it's so much better than the show itself lol
Each episode we have 2 cast members as the guests. It shows footage of their dates abd meet ups etc after the show ended and also them watching the episode themselves

have to say, the way he imagined the kiss: good shit 👍🏻
the way he grabbed her chin to move her face up, and no dead fish shit. yes. approved.

"우리 집에" I died! 🤡 I might be having some SLS 😅 I know 우리 might be singular, but we all know he did not mean it that way hahaha

lskjfdskjg i have issues, coz I don't know how i feel about this whole ass concept. coz I just cannot trust ML's feelings at all 🤡 So eveyrthing seems like a joke, rather than a romance...

you probably just have ad block. Or if you are using app, also no ads.
Honestly, i have ad block too, so i mostly pay vip to support the website + to have unlimited blocking hahaha

Ryang Eum seems to be the most probable one. Gil Chae... not so much. They said it was an official, and women could not be officials back then so...

Not gonna lie, this question is motivated by all the thoughts connected to this by xinya. Personally I did not give that much thought into the dream. Gil Chae believes in one true love and she will have to face many setbacks and hardships before she can be with the man (the way she followed the red strong of fate and it led her to him). That's it. It can kind of hint the happy ending for the couple. I'm curious if anyone has more insightful look into it, because I'm not really good with metaphorical analysis lol For me it's was just - "looks pretty" type of depth 🤡

Just Jang Hyun (with not his voice lol) saying he waited for her here, for a long time - basically confirms, that it will be a long way for Gil Chae to truly get to Jang Hyun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think a lot of people agree FL is around 19-20 and male lead in his 30'

They don't have full fancy military armor, but they do have proper weapons. Seem like a lower rank soilders or something... 🤔

When do you think that scene happened in the timeline?
Why do you think he go attacked by Joseon soldiers?
What happened next - dead? Survived? Someone came to save him?

Honestly speaking... I have no idea. Dude looks depressed, exhausted and like he gave up everything. The only reason I could potentially understand his state is - Gil Chae dead or he just thinks she is dead. Why they attacked him? I put my bests on him being accused of treason for leading Crown Prince to the wrong path so to say. Already in episode 9 or 10 the king was questioning how come Crown Prince went from being mistreated by Qing to being treated by them well so I guess they will use Jang Hyun as an excuse to make Crown Prince look better - instead of Crown Prince choosing to work with Qing, he was manipulated into doing it by Jang Hyun. It would also fit the content of the history records from the opening scene.

Do I think he dies there? Not really. Too many soldiers, too many witnesses. No way just some years later (which some of the people on the beach still being alive) they would not know if he is alive or dead. The investigation from the beginning only makes sense if he does not die on the beach. How he survives? No idea. That's a lot of people to kill 🤣 Random thought, but what if Lee Chung Ah's character and her people help him? 🤔

that's something I also thought about even after just one episode.
him just being there as a romance 2nd male lead seems off, + he already showed interested in her career beyond just someone who kind of likes her.

If he wanted to, the man needs to agree and they clearly showed he would not. He literally said he gonna find them and kill Jang Hyun. Sadly, yes she can be forced to be his wife. At times like that women had little to no say, not to mention her noble status was a joke by then - no one had true respect to her for her nobility. Notice how even workers and Gisaengs were disrespectful even tho by the law Gil Chae is a noble lady. She was REALLY in a shitty situation.

Pick one, and tell me why at the end of the day you are leaning more towards that character.

Initially I was on Yeon Jun's train more, as he fitted the description quite well. Now after episode 10, it seems more probable to be Ryang Eum. Him and Jang Hyun separated, god knows what's his plan. Maybe he will stick with Crown Prince simply to be closer to Jang Hyun and keep an eye on him? That's why he could be described as Crown Prince's loyal subject? What if they kept him there safe exactly because they were hoping Jang Hyun would try to reach him and they could catch him this way?
At first people were hesitant to think it's Ryang Eum, because they could not see how Jang Hyun would let him be basically imprisoned for so long without trying to save him, but after episode 10 I guess we see how he could in fact do it 😅

Side note, the Head Inspector from the opening scene is quite nice to look at 🤣 He looks real good in them close ups.
