Grandma says aloud: that’s not how you live- you let each other lean and give your back like this -supporting each other- that’s living
NOT sure about next line – can’t tell if she said “person or love”
W: to us – he was the most precious person and we want the best in the world for…

This is the 1st preview that has made me tear up.
Softy you’re going to be a mess if ck is upset.I never get upset over dramas.The only exception was ep 17 of Secret Garden.

I just finished episode 28, and ZOMG! It wasn’t the saddest episode, but certainly the most panic-inducing.
I initially felt most worried for Y. During the clips after episode 27 the final scene is Y and W (as a child) doing their “db” thing after her mom dies, and it seemed sort of ominous. The more I think about it though, the more I think that Y will live. The whole nam storyline seems like a pretty random thing to put in the show otherwise (and I’m not sure where it would really go).
Ma Roo however…ugh. I know there’s a clip of him not at the factory, but it could be a flashback. Sacrificing himself for family and redeeming himself after going down such a dark path seems so perfectly poetic…and I hate that!! I want him to live!! I’m sitting here pathetically fanning my face and trying not to cry just thinking about it. D, W, and Y wouldn’t be able to handle it if he died though…so it definitely won’t happen…right??
I STILL keep just loving this show more and more. I watched ep 27 last night and couldn’t believe how perfect the scene of D singing to W was. It was such a sweet and vulnerable moment, and showed his unbelievable trust in W and their relationship. I loved the symmetry between that scene and the car dealership one, where in both cases the singer was willing to be embarrassed to comfort the other person. In both scenes the singer couldn’t “hear” the other person (In D’s case, lip-read) and it was just all about giving to the loved-one needing comfort.
Sigh…this show is turning me into the cheesiest person ever.

I think we are all guilty of that – we’ve all been turned to mush when it comes to this drama – really can’t believe it’s almost over -makes me cry just thinking about it. Omg the last two will be epic indeed. I am soooo worried I will be overcome with emotion and unable to type- during that scene in SG when JW drove into the storm or when I thought MJS in SKKS died – those are the two times I lost it and now E28 when I had no idea what would happen to D, Y, or M.

[Spoiler] “Warrior Baek Dong-soo” Park Geon-tae murderous look+sorrow tears, talented actor
[2011/07/05]
Child actor Park Geon-tae went from being murderous to being lost in sorrow at his father’s death.
SBS TV “Warrior Baek Dong-soo” showed the growth phase of Yeo Woon who was born with killer instinct. Yeo Cho-sang (Lee Kye-in), his father, has the ability to predict people’s fate and discovers that his son was born with killer instinct and tries to kill him but his mother dies instead. Yeo Woon was left alone to grow up with a father that didn’t love him.
Hostile towards his father who always mistreated him saying he was a killer, Yeo Woon mastered martial arts and one day tried to stab his hand with a bamboo sword in his severe fate. He then coincidentally met with Cheon (Choi Min-soo) who had been watching him and they went around together. Having passed through all of Cheon’s difficult hurdles, Yeo Woon received a sword and a final barrier. To spear the one he loved.
He found his father and yelled, “I do not have murder instincts!” but couldn’t stab him at the last moment, showing the human in himself. However, his father stabbed himself and said, “Thank god, I am to die anyways so I should be your first and last” revealing all the love he had for him.
Yeo Woon cried for him not to go and cried in sorrow. This predicted the rough development and fate he would have to go through in the future.
The bone chilling murderous eyesight of Park Geon-tae playing the role of Yeo Woon who was raised with dislike for his killer instinct was the highlight of this days episode.
Viewers say, “I couldn’t take my eyes off his acting”, “He really knows how to get someone intrigued”, “My heart hurt because of his fate” and more.
Meanwhile, Yeo Jin-goo played the role of the younger Baek Dong-soo and acted with Park Geon-tae.

I will definitely try to make some banners from my sketches, but since the in-laws are visiting my desktop computer still isn’t fixed. Also, the sketches may not look like the actors since they’re pretty quick drawings, but I’ll upload some anyways and you can decide if they’re worthy or not.

WordPress automatically flags a comment containing more than two links as spam. The reason is because many spam comments contain links to other sites.
Two ways to prevent this from happening:
1. If you have more than two links (images or videos), post them separately and not in the same comment.
2. Softy can change the settings to allow more than two links per comment. I wouldn’t advise this, though, because it may mean spam comments slipping through the crack.

My YFFM footage isn’t very crisp, so I just went with the old washed-out film look. If you have any crisp images of that fantasy bike scene with the mountains and sun in the BG, it would make for an awesome (and slightly hilarious) banner.

Ok, after re-watched WBDS with subs, something bothered me but will let it slide for now. Feeling fun, so I summarized the first episode while waiting for CYHMH, hehe.
Warrior Baek Dong Soo episode 1 (based on DarkSmurf’s subs)
The Crown Prince Sado destroyed the important monument, because of his action the Noron framed the Prince of revolution. The King (the prince’s father = Yi San’s grandpa) was very upset, he couldn’t let the matter drop (politics), he must find the scapegoat to punish. The king decided that the life of BDS’s dad had to be sacrificed to save the Prince.
There was this renowned sword man named Gwang Taek (GT) who was famous for his material arts in Joseon, and was a close friend of BDS’dad.
On the day of BDS’s dad execution (beheaded), GT came just in time to help his friend, when learned that it’s the King’s order the killing, he presented the talisman of Immunity (given to him by the King, able to save life) to the officer on site. However, the officer whispered to GT that the killing was meant to help the Crown Price, if GT saved BDS’s dad, the Prince would be in danger.
GT tearfully agreed to the execution, he had a private talk with BDS’s dad, the dad asked GT to take care of his wife and his unborn child. GT accepted readily. As GT walked away, they cut off BDS’s dad head.
There was another friend of GT who used a butcher knife as his weapon, Sa Mo(SM), him and GT helped BDS’s dad wife to escape.
The order of the King was to punish BDS’s dad family for three generations, one of the officer thought that BDS’s dad was very famous for producing men with great material arts, if they let the child lived on, they all would be in danger in the future. So he ordered the search for a woman who was pregnant or a new born child.
BDS’s dad allies buried his body on the hill, the Crown Prince came and kneeled on the ground giving respect to the body. Apparently BDS’s dad was the Prince’s teacher.
The search for the mother continued. BDS’s dad allies were worried because the mom was pregnant for 10 months and there was no sign when she would deliver the baby. They asked the doctor who told them that it seemed the mother didn’t want to give birth at this moment.
BDS’s mom was holding the blue wide ribbon with letters written on it (the subs didn’t translate the writing), she talked to the baby in her body that it’s not the time for you to come out to this world. She wrapped the cloth around her pregnant stomach tightly to hide her pregnancy.
The soldiers came to their place and started searching, BDS’s mom sat with other women, the soldiers couldn’t identify her, but when they hesitated to search again, the villagers came with weapons in hands asking them to go away.
In the room, BDS’s mom passed out because of the tight cloth around her body, later she gave birth to a baby boy, but she kept breeding after that. They brought the baby out of the room, GT looked at the baby, he was startled because the baby was deformed (not sure what that means) by the mom tight cloth, he asked for the doctor to look at the baby.
GT came in the room where the mom was lying, she asked to see her baby but GT told her not to worry and recover well. She asked if something wrong with the baby, GT told her the baby was healthy. GT asked the mom the name of the baby, she told him it’s Dong Soo. GT smiled and he repeated the name Baek Dong Soo, he asked if the name came from BDS’s dad, she agreed. Then she closed her eyes and passed away. GT cried.
The officers surrounded the place and took the baby, GT and the SM were arrested. GT helped SM to get away to take care of the mom’s body.
GT was about to be punished (guilty of treason) along with the baby. They were about to throw the baby into the boiling water, the Prince came with the order of the King to pardon GT’s life.
Flashback – the Prince begged the King to help GT because he’s Joseon best sword man, the King told him he could only spare one life, the Prince had to choose GT or the baby.
GT realized that only him was pardoned but not the baby, he then asked to cut off his one arm for the life of the baby, as the arm of the sword man of Joseon should suffice. The officer agreed, the Prince turned his back to GT, an officer cut off GT’s left arm. (Ending)

My lazy typing, the reason the King executed the dad, it’s because the Noron wanted the Prince’s head, and The Qing Dynasty (China?) also pressured the King, it’s the thing of that monument, sth about the Noron, and at that time, they controlled forces (soldiers) more than the King. The only way the King can save the Prince was to blame someone else for the act of revolution. (yeah, didn’t really help, did it? ^^)
I didn’t see anyone subbing this drama except DarkSmurf, they are releasing the subs in two versions, one will release fast, the other will give more details but will release later. So far, episode 1 is now 100% ready in both versions, episode 2 only the fast version is 100% done.
I’m not sure to follow this one because ,my guessing, there’s going to be a lot about politics, the Noron, and the King/the Crown Prince which are not so fun. In the preview the two leads will have to join the military camp together. Let’s see.
Spy starting tomorrow, what do you think? The preview didn’t impress me tho. ^^

Warrior Baek Dong Soo episode 2 (mini) for my dear Softy.
Here’s what I got from subs, so you can enjoy tonight episode ^^
After GT was cut off his left arm, the Prince put bandage around his arm crying all the while (can we say he’s good then?). Then GT took off with the baby(BDS). He stayed with his friends and asked the doctor to look at the baby. The doctor put bamboo splints all over the baby’s body to strengthen the distorted bones (from his mom tight cloth when she was pregnant). When asked, the doctor said it can last few months or forever. Then GT took the baby and left his friends. In the forest, GT met a woman he knew, she’s the Qing assassin, they slept together one night (rawr!), he woke up and she’s gone (I suspect she will carry his child later, our heroine?). The soldiers and the Qing’s assassin gang were taking GT one-armed as opportunity to kill him. So GT hided the baby by the stream (that’s stupid btw), and went off another way to distract his opponents. A wolf came to harm the baby, a man passed by he took the baby with him, he saw the blue ribbon with the baby bearing the baby’s father name, his eye widen with surprise, he went to Sa Mo and handed the baby to him. GT came back at the stream, not seeing the baby he shouted DS! DS!, he couldn’t find the baby. Then 12 yrs later, GT was lying on the street, he was in China (got this from dramaok in Soompi thread, she nitpicked the guy to easily gave up searching ,LOL). Dong Soo(DS) grew up wearing bamboo splints all over his body, he couldn’t move finger right, couldn’t eat rice or walk properly etc..
DS was teased by other kids, he jumped off the cliff into the water to gain his place among his friends. Sa Mo fished him off the water, DS cried in despair about his body’s conditions that he’d rather die like his dad. Then a man visited Sa Mo with a girl named Jin Ju (JJ), she’s a brave girl with ability to fight like a boy. Sa Mo told DS this girl would be with them for a while. DS smirked at her. A man (who brought the girl) secretly met the Qing assassin woman (who slept with GT), she warned him about the danger ahead (although she didn’t say it, my wild guess, she’s JJ’s mom). JJ stayed by DS’s side, she could climb tree when DS could not. She would scold away the kids who teased DS. Later the kids unintentionally set fire to the storage house, JJ was trapped inside and cried for help. The kids told DS (ok it’s ridiculous to ask a disabled boy for help, oh well). DS covered himself and ran into the fire to help JJ, he found her, while taking her out, a burning log fell from the roof, DS used his arm to stop the log from falling on to them, and he cried out in pain. (..to continue tonight whether this will help cure his bone).
GT had a hyungnim who had a son, his son named Yeo Wun (YW) with long dark hair. YW was born with Killer Star, his dad tried to kill him when he’s a baby but ended up killing his wife instead. YW secretly practiced sword, his dad hit him badly cuz he told him not to touch sword. Later YW learned his dad killed his mom, he hit his dad’s head ,blood came running down his dad’s face, he roared his agony and ran off. YW met with the black dress guy (one of the Qing assassin), he asked YW to come and be with him. YW was trained at the Qing headquarter to become a good assassin, he passed all the tests. The last one lesson was to kill a person he loved most. YW told them it’s his dad. YW came to see dad with a long knife, he tried to stap dad but dad used his hands to stop the knife, YW ‘s scared, the black guy flied his weapon and stapped dad’s back, dad looked at YW, saying he will die anyway so do it (kill him) and let me be the last person you kill, then he forced the knife into his body. YW cried out for him don’t die. (to be continued….)
The prince had this gold pole where there was a half coin hidden inside, left by the earlier King. The words on the coin was the clue to find the Book of War…which every party wanted, the Noron, the Qing Dynasty. (don’t know what the book was, waited for Blue). ^^

kcomments – man I have to say without this I would have been soooooo lost – this is some complicated stuff – so how do you know that the woman GT slept with is JJ’s mom? you said you thought so – I heard JJ call the man her dad so if he isnt her dad – why would he say that he is? did the woman tell him to raise her without telling JJ who her real mom is? I know this isnt the main point of the drama but now I am curious 🙂 also one more question – why is GT homeless and a beggar? cuz he cant use his arm? i really didnt get why he didnt just go back home to his friends after he lost the baby. and I really dont get how holding up a heavy burning log is suppose to make DS’s bones stronger all of a sudden- but you know what? all these questions mean I want to know so keep them coming and I will be your avid reader. hehehe

LOL, about JJ’s mom, my wild guess, because when she came to see JJ’s dad, he kept looking at her silently, she also had this uneasy expression like she wanted to hear about sth but couldn’t ask, when Sa Mo asked that man if JJ is his daughter? (if I remember right) he didn’t answer him directly. Moreover, wouldn’t it be great? a daughter of great warrior and an assassin as a heroine. Again, I could be wrong. And, GT is not a beggar, LOL, let’s say he disguised as a beggar ^^ He planned to go to Qing with DS when he left his friends before he lost the baby, not sure why he didn’t go back to his friends (good point there). But when GT’s gang walked out from the palace together, they agreed to disperse separate ways. Each told the other his destination. The burning log, is also my guess, because we can’t have a crippled hero, can we? From the preview, I saw young DS walking/jumping on the roof just fine, huhu.

The actual line was – “he won’t be able to return” – and I just assumed cuz all the men chasing after him that it meant the guy would be killed – but like you said – can’t kill him the first ep so probably it was just a threat. 🙂
About the new header – I kept looking and I thought – where is it? Did I miss something? Was already planning to post these children scenes with their episodes as screencaps 🙂 I wish we could have posted these headers back in April when the drama began cuz when a drama ends, we normally switch out the theme banners after a month or so. That’s why you don’t see any more “my princess, SG, msoan,” or any of the older dramas that were translated here. I am leaving them up for now but it would have been great to get more viewing time. Not to rush you or anything, but is the YFFM one where S is biking almost ready cuz that one can stay up for even longer since the drama just started 🙂 don’t worry about the empty space next to him cuz it’s just one shot of him and the header is longer – I’m ok with the extra white space. Or maybe you could put the blog name and S’s bike scene next to it.
Of course I will link your blog – I was the one pushing for it with ck1Oz. “K Color” is ok but you need a blog name with some cadence so it just rolls off the tongue. Maybe it would be better to start with the word “Coloring….” like a play on words as if you are saying “covering Kdramas.” And you should also write about the drama too that you are painting – it shouldn’t just be your work displayed without anything to read – we get more out of it if we know your thoughts. 🙂

Days ago I nagged our dear Softy to share her insights about Seoul, with her kindness she said yes. Almost every Kdrama happened in Seoul, so I bought a book, question popped up, I thought of Softy, she’s in Seoul! Aww….yes, let’s ask her, it would be fun. So, just some random informal Q&A between gals i.e. place, food etc. I couldn’t possibly cover a book all in one shot, so until she says nuff!
Here we go…Seoul! Seoul Seoul!
This is a really nice video, “PULSE OF SEOUL” (visitseoul@YT)
What’s that golden tower, is it the one in drama ‘My Girl’? ^^
The book starts with general suggestions/precautions before you leave for Seoul.
What to bring: 1) suntan lotion ^^ (or thing to protect your skins from direct sunlight), because in summer or even winter, the sunlight could be strong. 2) Comfortable shoes because lot of hills in Seoul. 3) Moisturizer for you skins (my sis told me too that the weather was dry when she went there that you need humidifier in the room?).
Mind your heart: 1) don’t be alarmed if you get pushed by ahjumma, ahjussi on the street. 2) Taxi/Bus driver may drive dangerously, if on the bus, hold on the rail tight.
Q: So, what do you think?
Transportation: subway, bus, taxi. Q: Do you use T-money, is it worth the price? Also it says there are two kinds of taxi; normal and black. Q: Why the black one is better? I saw in one drama, the female lead refused to get on a taxi because it’s not the kind she wanted.
How to get to town from Incheon International Airport:
Limousine Bus, Airport Railroad, Taxi. Q: Which one is your suggestion?
Softy, which season, you think best to visit Seoul? Which month? Thanks. ^_^
Next, the book is covering “Jongno”……but later gotta run. Hehe.
Oh, and have I even been to Seoul? Of course, many times, stuck in the transit lounge never step foot outside the airport, then due to policy changed, stuck in Tokyo airport instead buahaha.

my oh my – lots of questions all at once – this might be an extra long post. I will go in order from the top and go down. First of all, if you ask about buildings and stuff from dramas we might have a problem cuz I havent seen that many – I’m pretty sure my sister made me watch my girl but I have no recollection of it whatsoever. if you are referring to the elevator kiss- pretty sure that was in an elevator with see thru windows and JGS mentioned it on a radio show but it was the SBS building in mokdong (not Ilsan). That SBS building is where a lot of dramas are filmed – on any given day you will see celebrities go in and out but you cant go past first floor without an access card. It’s the one Nana was hanging from recently in CH. it’s also where MGIAG was filmed (the elevator scene where Miho goes up and looks down at DW. The yellow building in the video is the 63rd building – used to be the tallest one in seoul but not sure if it still is. the food at the top is awful but there is a nice cafe on the bottom called Beans & Berries and they have the best Iced red bean paste in seoul ( I think-if you come in the summer you must try this – it is like “heaven on earth” yummy)
what to bring: this isnt florida so I dont really get the whole need for sunscreen but if taking care of your skin is a must – go ahead and bring it. The only hills in Seoul are where rich people live and they all have cars and ppl take cabs normally to go up so you only need to walk down. the other place that is hilly is namsan tower, but I avoid that place cuz it’s just not worth it. you need comfortable shoes period cuz there is a lot of walking in seoul. weather in seoul tends to be dry when it’s sunny or humid during the rainy season so bring lotion. Pushy koreans are not limited to gender – almost everyone is so you have to expect that. most tourists do not take buses cuz they dont know where to go and which number to take. usually they take subway or cabs. but buses and cabs do drive unsafely sometimes so subway is the best way to travel. for bus, cab, and subway you can use a T money card to pay for it (but not all cabs have the machine so make sure before you get in) Normal cabs start at $1.40 and the black ones start at $4.50 I think. so yeah most ppl only take the black one to be safe late at night cuz there are hardly any kidnappings with the black one. Plus the regular rate for cabs go up at midnight till 5 or 6 am so it’s no longer cheap.
From Incheon airport to Seoul: depends if you have a group, how many bags you have, and how fast you want to get to your hotel. the nicer hotels have free pickup and drop off.if you are with a larger group of 3 or more, the van type of cab is cheaper and you can split the cost. MAKE SURE YOU CLEARLY NEGOTIATE PRICE BEFORE you get in or else they will rip you off cuz they will say there was traffic or they had to pay the toll (which is around $7). if you are traveling on your own and do not have much luggage-take the limousine bus that costs around $11-$15. Each city/location is written on the side of the bus and where you stand to get in line. so if you are going to kangnam- you stand where the sign says kangnam and look for the bus that says it. plus ask the guy collecting the ticket to be sure. if you take a cab, it could cost a lot depending on if it’s traffic time (between 5 to 8 is major traffic time)- the average cab fare could be between $50 or more depending on how close to the airport you are going. so if you are going to incheon it wont cost hardly anything. but if you go all the way to kangnam it could cost as much as $70 or more. subway is the cheapest but it takes the longest – again depending on how far you go – to get to kangnam it would take like almost 2 hrs or so. plus you have to lug your bags around. so the fastest and most expensive is cab. next is the bus but it would take over an hour and a half to get to seoul. then the cheapest and longest would be the subway.
as for when to visit seoul – I say avoid now – it’s been raining every day almost. it rains two days in a row then one day of sun then another 2 or 3 days of rain and then one day of sun. the weather in july and august is awful cuz it’s too hot, humid, or too rainy. I would say April, May, or early June is better. If you love the cold – come during winter but if it snows a lot flights get canceled so it’s a bit risky cuz you wont be able to fly out.
We might have a problem with Jongno cuz I dont really play there much – I only go to Meong dong which is nearby (and it’s a major shopping place -it’s where Minam missed seeing Shi Woo after spending time together over the phone in YAB) but I’ll see if I can help. I feel like a tour guide. 🙂

^ Love this by the way. It’s like Seoul 101. I always wondered why guys in dramas act like it’s SO dangerous for girls to go home alone at night, even if it’s via bus or cab. Is the subway fairly safe at night, or does it get kinda sketchy?
Btw, is that banner of KJW in glasses new? I practically wet myself it’s so freaking adorable. It makes me want to stop making banners since ever banner I make reduces the chance I have of seeing that picture.

Cabs late at night are sort of scary but subways stop running at 11:30pm and most buses around midnight so you dont have much of an option – even traveling in pairs can be dangerous. That’s why I told Kcomments that taking the more expensive black cabs at night are a better option. Overall though, I never had any problems in Seoul- if anything NYC at night is way more scary if you ask me. I went to NYC like 14 times – each time for like 3 wks to a month and let me tell you – almost had a heart attack every time I went out at night. 🙂

Sketchy kolors is cute but imagine having to explain it a lot or write that on every header -if you are 100% in love with it – then go with it.

I was also wondering if all your work is going to be kdramas otherwise having the K would be odd. Curious- if you are Canadian – what got you interested in kdrama vs Jap dramas? Have you seen any?

Tho I normally don’t go out after midnight when I travel ^^ So, we got lotion, comfortable shoes and of course, a passport. From your suggestion, I guess limousine bus would be a nice choice, oh boy, $50-70 for a cab to town is a lot. There is another option that I usually use, rent a car AVIS, HERTZ etc. Would you suggest driving myself? Left or Right you drive in Korea, it’s diff from country to country, but I can do both. Also, we need money –Won, what’s the approx. conversion rate with dollar? Do they give you good rate at the airport? And oh yes, where to stay? I would go for International Youth Hostel for cheap rate, but I’m no longer in that range of age hehe, how about a moderate place to stay, clean sheets, good amenities, close to shopping area/place to eat, name your choice ^^. I would stay at five-six star hotel too, so I can get free pick up service. Could you please give me the name of the best hotel in Seoul? Rate per night? Expensive is fine, I love variety.

This blog will just be k-drawings, and if I start painting other stuff i would start a different blog.
I have indeed watched some j-dramas, and was originally learning Japanese. While looking for Japanese shows and music I kept coming across Korean stuff, and it turns out I like it waaaaay more. I love the sound of the language too so I started learning Korean about a month ago.
I’m actually living in the US on my husbands visa, which means I can’t work, so I have a lot of free time on my hands!
I forgot to mention it, but yes, nikesma is awesome! I strongly believe that there can never be too many kjw banners.

Oh no kcomments – Don’t even joke about that – seriously? Is it happening again? Do I have to make page 3 already?
About taxi abduction stories – you don’t want to know cuz if you hear you won’t come to Seoul 🙂
Don’t drive in Korea – you won’t even make it out of the parking lot – also if you manage to find space, parking costs a lot -most of the time, there are no places to park – parking spaces are tight- if you manage to get in you won’t be able to get back out- roads are confusing – Koreans don’t follow the law and drive crazy all the time – yellow light means speed up – red means go as long as no one is coming etc. And my worst driving experience, some old guy was trying to wake himself up from being sleepy by speeding up and braking suddenly – I watched him do that behind my car in my rearview mirror then he forgot to brake and hit my car and blamed me. I am still not over that.
Japan and England drive on the right but Korea is same as America – driver on the left side
exchange rates are online so check that and compare with your bank’s exchange rates. In Korea, every bank is different so some you can get better deals. Sometimes airport exchange is ok and it’s safer than exchanging in dark alleys in itaewon just to save a few bucks.
No idea about youth hostels at all or moderate places cuz I just don’t need info like that since I live here. 🙂 maybe you should listen to CK and check trip advisor- ask me for location and I will tell you if it’s good or not.
Top hotels and rates per room I know from various friends visiting. Most expensive is the W hotel where LTM was filmed. Cheapest rooms are between $470-$580. Worst location though. On a hill with no easy access down in an unpopular area. Others with better locations like shilla, hyatt,Hilton, intercontinental, and Marriott are all between $280-350 per night for cheapest rooms. The last two hotels have great access to the city’s public transportation.most have free shuttle buses.
We have a problem coming up – I avoid palaces and anything old like from the days when Korea had kings and stuff- also Korea doesn’t have any castles – that’s more of a Europe thing – Germany and France have the best.

FYI, subbing for WBDS episode 3 is done. Did you see WBDS ep3-4? Do you want to continue? No sign of adult casts, my guess, they may come out around ep8. The scriptwriter is an awarded internet novelist, no experience with writing drama (according to Blue), I felt like watching a Sageuk-liked drama but def not a Sageuk imo, the editing was like flipping page of a book, jumping here to there. So far, the pacing was a little slow, the story got potential but when are they going to show the real stuff? The adult casts!
Ratings in Seoul, no.1 Ripley, then WBDS, but Nationwide vice versa. (really close in number)
