I love this drama! I was probably the only one who rooted for Min-hwa and Yeom in the story but it is a testament to the writer's ability to make her supporting characters really relatable (she wrote Twinkling Watermelon recently and viewers loved it!).
This is one of the historical dramas I started when I first got into K-Dramas...but I haven't finished it yet. Back then, I think I wasn't ready for the tragedy that some historical dramas do bring about. But now, I feel like I should finish it, especially after reading your post about it.
Mr. Sunshine!! first kdrama I ever watched and haven't stopped since. Thank you for the much needed show suggestion. I seem to have found myself in a lull ;(. Can't wait for your list!! BTW, I would love to hear your thoughts, take, etc on Korea and its "drugs are so epically terrible" stance. It is a curious thing to me that I can only frame it in a nationalist context that we (US-muli-national) do not get to experience. There is not the same sense of "us" as a people no matter what the racist, xenophobes try to convince people of. We just do not have that history or reality. So..yea I would love to hear your actual thoughts on this vs my made up ones 😉
I wanted to thank you for recommending this series, it was indeed truly wonderful and I enjoyed it very much. A wonderful cast, a wonderful story, a wonderful soundtrack, this is genuinely quality TV.
OMG I have this on DVD - when I used to have to order KDramas from Yes Asia. Loved this back in the day.

I was wondering if you have a review of The Master's Sun by any chance. I would be interested in your views on that series, if you have.
