one of the best historical kdramas

In my watch list, I have over 400 kdramas, of which at least 100 are historical, (with plots ranging from fantasy love stories to reality-based hysterics) This drama is one of the best historical kdramas I've watched (including Empress Ki being one of them) Amazing screen acting / perfect casting The actors did an amazing job especially the female lead. Jeon Jong Seo and Ji Chang Wook I knew he would never disappoint. I think everyone who complains about nudity scenes are people who are simply not used to this genre. Because this is far from your average historical kdrama. What was special about the drama was that it was historically based. The production was accompanied by a historian who made sure that the details were accurate, including amazing costumes. The production was so invested on an international level. I'm not sure why they made such a big deal out of the "sex" scenes (historically, that was the case). And that was also a tactic intended for the queen. The drama was accurate in terms of the number of episodes as well as its ending. The queen, who was historically strong, managed to keep the throne for a short period of time. It's true that there is violence in the drama, but it was also historically correct (the historical period was very cruel, that's a fact). In my opinion, a drama that deserves all the praise, for the casting, the soundtrack, the set... and of course Ji Chang Wook, who did not disappoint with a phenomenal performance.

Disappointment - plot and important issues but...

This drama had all the potential to be a high rated drama
The plot was great, it had topical and so important topics such as:
Infertility in men and women, postpartum depression, sacrifice, abandonment, employment problems, society's judgment of single parents (men and women), endometriosis and the consequences, the longing for children, a sharp criticism of the law forbidding sperm donation to single women or same-sex couples (which in many countries of the world no longer exists), healthy and open relations between mother and daughter.
The first episodes were great and promising, but... the plot lost its charm, and became exhausting, with irrelevant and childish background stories, (the one-sided love story in the office) the chemistry between the main characters was annoying to say the least, (passive aggressive) lovers break up and get back together again and again Breaking up..so disappointing, they are 40 years old and behave like children.
I don't regret seeing the drama because of its important themes, but at the same time towards the end I already wanted it to end, I would shorten the episodes and remove all the irrelevant clichés.

This drama is simply genius love it

My response is correct for both seasons and all episodes, (no episode is redundant) this drama is simply genius, smart and sophisticated, realistic, and unconventional. A spectrum of emotions that are expressed in animation, the endless struggle between emotion and logic (in life in general (work, friends, judgment and more and matters concerning love and reliability), the second season with new insights with maturity and maturation, the importance of open interpersonal communication, otherwise it brings To analyze wrong situations... perfect casting of the entire team, perfect acting from the wonderful main actors to the last of the actors, a simply great drama and how I almost forgot - a great soundtrack, so adjusted and precise for each episode.
The kind of dramas you don't forget so quickly
For me 10/10

A great drama

A great drama, 12 exact episodes!! No episode is boring or unnecessary. It has everything a good drama should have.
* Tension maintained throughout the episodes is maintained
* Comedic scenes.
* Falling in love and good chemistry between the characters
* Characters develop with the plot
* Additional exposure to the capabilities of Ai, artificial intelligence that is already "here and now"
Not futuristic and really not imaginative and not fictional at the same time also scary,
It is no secret that the capabilities of artificial intelligence can also be used by hostile institutions
and not immoral
* Perfect casting and one captivating and talented Chae Jong Hyeop.
* Sound track is perfect and suitable for the scenes..

A movie with wasted potential for an important topic AI

I was looking forward to the movie because of the actors/actresses and the plot, but I was very disappointed. The plot and the subject of artificial intelligence have a potential that is not reflected in the film (they should have made a series of at least 12 episodes)..Artificial intelligence is neither fantasy nor science fiction, it is the current and future reality of the world (personally I am afraid of artificial intelligence and not because I not technologically but from the dangers inherent in it if it reaches destructive governmental and private entities).
The plot was very confusing at first. (Less in the second part, but the film still suffers from many plot flaws) such as a lack of understanding of processes, which also resulted in the waste of talented actors who barely had screen time..

As for the soundtrack...the truth is I don't even remember maybe because my mind was busy analyzing the confused plot

*** And just for general knowledge, the actress Tang Wei (Chinese) is married to Kim Tae Yong who is the screenwriter and producer of the film

masterpiece seris

Wow, I just finished it and my heart is still on speed 200.
I came to the series following the talented actor Jang Ki-Yong, although it has been 6 years since the series came out, and it was followed by other high-quality series at an international level, and it is still a masterpiece, with a perfect casting of the entire cast (from the young to the adults), and the awards she won will also testify to that. No chapter is superfluous, the storyline is maintained with a level of tension. I must point out that the series has very violent and cruel parts, at the same time it also has love, healing and recovery, great chemistry between the actors (not only between the main characters but between parents and children).
The soundtrack is wonderful and fits the plot wonderfully

what did we have ??

So what did we have in this fantasy drama, there was a promising fantasy plot in the first ten episodes, funny with hints of a developing romance. A promising casting of talented actors, but at the same time, as the episodes continued, there was also an expectation of the development of the characters. Jin Sun Mi, remained melancholic throughout the drama, all she seemed to care about was whether Son Oh Kong would continue to love her after he took off the bracelet.
In my opinion, the drama could have been shortened, there was no justification for making 20 episodes. (It gives the impression that the writer wanted to emphasize the characters of the women, as weak women who depend on men
I agree on one thing and it is also sad, and that is that humans bring about the destruction of the world because of a desire for power and control.
**** The effects were at a very moderate level.
A drama worth watching mainly because of the casting of the actors, the potential, and the funny parts

I quite enjoyed the drama

I quite enjoyed the drama and it is not clear why it is condemned and it receives such bad reviews, it is a bit like an American drama, it is true, after all, it is a Netflix production. I don't understand why the viewers should compare it to other dramas. I think that beyond the plot, (which is not bad at all) there are some difficult social criticisms in it, concerning the humiliating attitude of parents towards their children, the humiliating attitude of the rich towards the poor, the humiliating attitude of teachers towards students and the humiliating attitude of students towards students (and this is seen in many Korean dramas. They all bring everyone to the edge of their mental endurance.
Maybe because I am also a mother of twins, the story touched a sensitive chord with me. ..it's also not clear why Netflix doesn't mean that in episode 7 after the subtitles there is another and very significant section for the end of the series ..that many viewers don't notice and think that the drama ends with the leading woman arriving at her mother's house?? The series had a great soundtrack, the actors were great...all in all, not a bad drama at all and since Netflix defined it as a "limited series", I guess there is no second season and it's a shame, because it was left with another murder that you can hardly understand who was murdered (perhaps on purpose) and the end open, and has the good man become the bad man?

A great drama♥♥

A great drama that touches the soft underbelly of society, and I was even more surprised that the story is based on a true story, perfect casting of the actors, perfect acting by Ji Chang Wook, such a talented actor, who doesn't need much text, he simply has a phenomenal ability to convey a range of emotions in his facial and eye expressions. It's true that there are violent scenes in the film, but they are asked to enhance the plot. The plot reminds me of the scandal of "Burning Sun" | (2019) in Seoul, which involved politicians, celebrities, police officers, lawsuits/prosecutors, trafficking in women, drug use and trafficking, corruption, sexual favors. And it all happened in a nightclub for friends only.
It's true that the first two episodes are a bit confusing, but in the following episodes the picture becomes clearer.
Great soundtrack
Perfect direction
And as I said, perfect casting
A drama worth watching

The worst drama I've ever seen!!

The truth is I don't know where to start, I was waiting for this drama because the plot seemed promising, the idea of ​​unification between South Korea and North Korea. And I've already seen some good series on the subject (Crash Landing, Two Hearts, and more). I also got to see quite a few dramas with the main actors Kim Min Seok (at least 6 of his dramas) and Nam Gyu Ri (at least 5 dramas), both very good actors.
I have seen over 300 Korean dramas/movies, better and less good, (there were always messages in the dramas, or touches on important issues such as diseases, the relationship between parents and children, the relationship between North and South Korea intertwined with love stories, difficulty in studies, drug smuggling, families Bull, corruption, the lives of celebrities, a story about the poor and the rich, life in the village versus life in the city..and more..) But this is the first time I got so upset, every episode I saw I thought the drama would get better, but in practice until the end it didn't happen, instead it became more Bad (I saw all 12 episodes).
So what went wrong in this drama:
Bad acting, bad direction, bad production, stupid dialogues, and unrelated subplots, (why did they include the story of the couple who had twins, or the man who was waiting for his lover "Natasha" - what exactly was their role - for me it was to inflate the The plot and nothing more . And what's the point l with speaking English in a drama (what! what! what was that, so stupid and irrelevant and not even funny)
I must point out that in almost every drama I activate a range of emotions, laughter crying empathy/sympathy, heartbreak, joy, but, in this drama rI couldn't get any emotion in this drama except ange
Soundtrack - was boring and casual
I must point out that from time to time I write reviews for series/movies, this is the first time I have to write such negative reviews (sorry)
Bottom line, one big disappointment, this is my personal opinion, everyone will make a decision whether to watch or not, 12 episodes of half an hour each episode, a total of 6 hours of continuous viewing). good luck

Wow what a great drama i love it♥

Wow what a great drama. It is true that this is a historical fantasy drama, but at the same time it has historical truths that are correct for that time and it was fascinating to watch it.. Great acting and casting of the entire cast... a drama that has everything, laughter, crying, love, corruption, political upheaval, friendship and sacrifice.. There is no doubt that actress Shin Hye Sun is extremely talented and has versatile acting ability. The plot manages to maintain tension throughout the episodes, so that you immediately want to see the next episode, all the characters from the main to the last functions (including the servants) develop their personalities gradually.. highly recommended drama 10/1

A masterpiece series

A masterpiece series
So for those who love series related to medicine, this is the series, for those who love to see vision, hope, dedication, perseverance, healing and recovery (of both doctors and patients) and that everything is combined in a love story (and not just for the medical profession) this is the series. Perfect casting for the three seasons, perfect script, perfect acting, perfect soundtrack that is already on my playlist, I saw the three seasons in less than a week, I was captivated, not a single episode was unnecessary, simply a wonderful and recommended series, and for those who ask whether to watch all the seasons, then unequivocally yes, do not give up, no season. If it were possible to rate more than 10, I would do so with love.

Great short and precise drama♥

I finished this charming, short and precise drama last night (45 minutes each episode). It is written in the content and in the title that it is a comedy, it is true that it has comedic situations, at the same time it touches on sensitive issues of body and mind. (Impotence, society's/family's attitude to achievements, lack of self-fulfillment due to social judgment, and more)

* It has healing and recovery, support and sincere and sensitive love.

* Great soundtrack (I've already downloaded it to spotify)

* Perfect casting and acting

* I enjoyed it very much - I recommend it with love♥

A quality drama, don't give up♥

A quality drama, don't give up and watch until the end to understand its quality.
Casting is also perfect, there is no doubt, Wi Ha Joon is perfect in the role he plays (I love his acting in both Little Women and The Worst of Evil) the casting and acting of everyone is perfect as if they were chosen with tweezers.. there were moments that made me seethe with rage and there were also those that made me cry with rage.
The drama is a sharp indictment and criticism against the education system in Korea, the pursuit of excellence by memorization and not by self-thinking or analyzing situations, at the same time I have a reservation that the drama is apparently boring, there is a lot of talk about grades/tests and the grading system of tests. Sometimes I found myself repeating episodes or dialogue (one must say witty) to understand things, which leads me to think that the drama mainly speaks to viewers from Korea, they can better understand the depth of the drama than a western audience, most of the filming was done almost in the dark (even the room of The principal of the college it's dark not to talk about intimate scenes and a kiss lol) which made it difficult to watch. There are a lot of silences but the silences are so necessary for the plot (really wonderful acting) I've already seen series that deal with the strict education in South Korea and the attitude of the parents to their children and teachers regarding achievements, but it was on the edge (from what I saw), this drama gave me a different perspective …
Of course, it has many important and universal topics related to education and interpersonal communication, (relationships between students/teachers/and parents and interpersonal relationships on a romantic background and pure and supportive love)
The soundtrack of the drama is great and pleasant throughout the drama
I rated the drama 9/10 for me it was another introduction to culture and it takes time to get used to its pace and plot...
And it may be true that she is not suitable for everyone, this is my personal opinion and I would recommend giving her a chance♥
