  1. Did anyone know about this drama?! I had no idea it was even coming! @Chocolate Is it your cuppa?
  2. Calling @JenL how did Lee Jae Wook know Ahn Hyo Seop? https://www.soompi.com/article/1475926wpp/lee-jae-wook-sends-thoughtful-gift-to-ahn-hyo-seop-on-the-set-of-his-upcoming-historical-drama I see the link is either through Kwak Si Yang or Rowoon...
  3. Hey look, this is the first teaser and Haram's style has changed...!
  4. 2021.10.27 [ENG] BTS 3 is out! Being on top of Rowoon and strangling him was Eun Bin's idea
  5. 😅 I just don't want to rant again about the show coz I was already "????" when I read the posts on my timeline. And true I wasn't invested in the show as well as the OTP. I think it is a good thing because I'd probably be even madder if I was. Interesting the show left the coup part as open ending/epilogue. I'm really wondering now if the show had to last minute change the script because of Joseon Exorcist's incident. The show was definitely affected if I remember correctly and didn't they push back the premiere date because of it? Because if they had followed the original plan, Joohyang (Prince Suyang/King Sejo) will be King later and according to his history, he did do this: Suyang surrounded himself with trusted allies, including his famous adviser, Han Myung-hoi. Han advised Suyang to take over the government in a coup, and on 10 November (10th day of the 10th lunar month) 1453, he killed Kim Jongseo and his faction, thereby taking the reins of power into his own hands. After the coup, he arrested his own brother, Anpyeong (Yangmyeong in the drama), first sending him into exile, then sentencing him to death.
  6. @Chocolate I've decided not to watch E16 and dedicate this one hour to a tvN variety show. xD Hehehe, Kwak Si Yang knows Ahn Hyo Seop because they are in the same agency, Starhaus.
  7. @im0202 I'm watching episode 3. I feel so sorry for Lee Yong Dae. Both his partners are black hole xDDDD Lee Yong Dae looks like he wants to scream but can't Surprisingly the maknae's reflex is pretty good! I could totally relate to how Lee Yong Dae felt as well as the other weaker players since I started as a beginner so the better player did the same to me, like telling me to stand in front, and as I progressively improved I also started to understand it really is not easy to play against or partner with unpredictable beginners and one could hurt themselves trying to cover for the partner. Ahhh, I finally got to the part where Tang Joon Sang them all appeared. Wish their screen time were much longer. I really miss the boys. @stroppyse it's funny Woo Chan was rejecting skinship Joon Sang in real life seems like a soft speaker and yes, seems so so sweet. I saw a casting news that he'll be in a movie with Youn Yuh Jung next
  8. source: @Tofu Whaaaaa? @bairama What is "ter-Rowoon Rowoon"?
  9. Episode 6 I agree episode 6 was great. I think much better than episode 5 because the plot is moving and there are more happenings. There were too much swooning scenes in episode 5 (LOL - can you guys believe I am saying this? But hey, gotta be fair even though I love watching Rowoon). Agree with @abs-oluteM that we have more flashbacks on their childhood to build up their backstory and saw how they bonded when young. I remember Rowoon mentioned somewhere in their promotion that Dam-i influenced and made him see another world and I've been wondering whether it was edited out. Thankfully it is included in this episode and it helps us understand Ji Woon is keeping his promise to Dam-i. No doubt they were each other's first love/crush but it's really the present interactions that this love will grow deeper, even though Ji Woon doesn't (yet) know why. It's definitely much more convincing than once-off meet cute and love-you-til-death-do-us-part-at-adulthood-when-we-barely-knew-each-other (yes, I'm referring to you, Lovers of the Red Sky 😤). Perhaps life was much more simple then that love is something more trustworthy than present time; however, I personally still prefer a childhood related love story be persuasive and justifiable by other means. That said, I feel extremely apologetic towards Lee Hyun because even though his love for Dam-i is no way less than Ji Woon, Ji Woon just moved Dam-i's heart more. Although Hyun knows he's a she but he doesn't really know Dam-i as Dam-i whereas Ji Woon is the only person who remembers Dam-i for who she really is. She matters to him and he misses her to this day, and he openly and unknowingly confessed his feelings to Dam-i was his first love. It was meaningful to Dam-i, who had to hide her true self. Park Eun Bin was excellent here in emoting through her eyes that Dam-i was very shaken by Ji Woon's words and actions. I'm also loving the change in Dami-i. She's living in fear for so long and was being submissive towards Minister Han, and now she's standing up to both Jung Seok Jo and Grandpa. The tension was enjoyable. To be honest, I do think Minister Han can't do nothing to Dam-i. He puts all his cards on Hwi, and at this point, I don't see him having any backup blood-related Prince which allows him to replace Hwi, so whatever threat he spouted at Dam-i is all an empty threat. With Hwi gone, his power will be weaken and he should be grovelling at Hwi. I would love to see Dam-i pluck up the courage and make good use of his authority in future episodes. Minister Han may be her grandfather but Hwi is still the Crown Prince of the nation. The Crown Prince status is higher and Han needs to show respect. Yeah, I think I'd love to see more of this authoritive Park Eun Bin. I think so far the story-telling is going well and things were unclear before are being clarified—like the reason behind why Samgaebang seems to be a clinic being frown upon for instance. I also like that it was explained that Dam-i was the one only who used the abandon place hence the reason why the place is now a mess. How come you guys know Bae Soo Bin so well @Mouse @Tofu? I think he's pretty good as the evil Jung Seok Jo. He's so cold so it was nice to see him reacted to Ji Woon's self-harming threat. I didn't expect Ji Woon would go the extreme but as a drama viewer, I so love it. I wanted Ji Woon to stab himself even deeper so that I could see Rowoon do pain. And yes, in comparison to Where Stars Land or Extraordinary You, Rowoon has shown vast improvement in line deliveries, intonation and acting from She Would Never Know onwards. Episode 7 seems to be a mix bag of light and heavy. We've puppy Rowoon running towards Hwi in adoration (they must have exchanged scripts by accident ) and then we have Dam-i beating up Park Ki Woong, cameo as the Ming envoy (I think). It's taboo for Joseon to anger Ming Dynasty but I'm sure Ji Woon having saved that Vice Minister of Rites's life in episode 1 would be put to good use in this context. Heh. And Kim Ga On, LOLLLL. There's soooo little screen time for him but I just love that the camera gave him a focus and his expression when the gang saw Minister Han waiting at the Crown Prince quarter. I laughed because it was unexpected and had a moment of "Oh, even he knows the tension/power struggle between Hwi and Minister Han".
  10. Not only that, to make things worst (hard to digest), Im Soo Jung's character has a boyfriend/fiance! It's that guy you said you were impressed with in Beyond Evil (that annoying manager in Brahms who bullies my babies)! Gaaaaah, I'm not looking forward to this melo kind of stories. WHY LDH IS DOING THIS TO ME!?
  11. LOL @abs-oluteM I've to get used to your new DP coz at first glance I kept mistaken you as user Mizv.
  12. LOL, can't help you with that. Everyone's taste is different Yup. Editor(s) must be on crack.
  13. It has 20 episodes so it wouldn't focus on the politics / plotting so soon but there are some happenings in E6. I think I've watched too many sageuk on palace politics that I'm not that looking forward to it coz they are always the same thing just acted out by different people. On the books though (like I mentioned Moonlight), I really liked how the Prince outsmarted his enemies but it didn't happen like that in the drama. Think there's more freedom in creativities in books than Kdramas because of how sensitive the people are.
  14. Hahaha, I'll see how I go after I watch Affection E6. Are you still watching this or meh, not your cuppa? I actually quite like the premise of this story. It has good potential. Maybe you should just read the novel LOL
  15. Sigh, I don't know if I should give my 1 hour to watch this finale. I'm truly happy they give us a happy ending, I do, but pretty OTP cannot compensate the deterioration of this story or justify how this story goes south. It really could have been executed in a far better approach. And I don't know if this is because the editor is on crack or the writer is on crack. LOL. Did Mawang make an appearance or it was just ugly looking Haram all the way? Also if Samshin sacrifices herself, is that mean there's no more Samshin around to guard the people...? Questions. Questions. Questions. But no answers.
