Oooooohhhh but wait... sageuk?!

Waeyo? It would be more fun if the set up in modern era. She runs a boarding house near the university. 😄

 

But lately saeguk are adapting modern hacks to their ancient style. I'm talking about their modern kdramas parody in some recent saeguk's scenes. 

 

Will it be any romance here? Cuz I like JGJ and KH both, and that one guy, I dont know him, looks handsome too. Hahaha. My heart always becomes weak to handsome guys. 😆

Ryeoun is the reason I started this drama thread. 

 

Just look at him happily celebrating Kim Nam Gil's birthday in Through the Darkness:

The person I'm least excited for is Kang Hoon. I still am bitter that he's playing Mo Jun Jie. 

 

But I agreed that it would have been nice if it was set in the modern world.

@mademoiselle hi happy new year!😄

 

why do I sense some second lead syndrome here. After finishing LW, I have a crush with Kang Hoon and wish him to be the male lead again. That way I can see him longer.

Based on the teaser, seems like it'll air in March.

I have never looked at his nose that closely to notice.

It's just the cover photo of the video I noticed it looks weird. Also like he's got a hook nose and a part of it was missing!
