Ja Myung Go

One of my favorite Korean drama. Many episodes but the story is so amazing

Well, I had a little higher than usual expectations from looking at the cast members but at least it didn't take too long to realize what it had in store for us. The drama kicked off to a bad start leaving an ominous bad impression. The first 1/3 of the drama was set in the past giving us a ridiculously boring and generic backstory of the leads, starting with their parents and moving on to their birth, early childhood, and teenage years. These kids turned out to be the worst part of the drama, totally unlikable - both the characters and the actors playing them. And it didn't get any better when we were introduced to their adult versions. The romance and love triangle were downright despicable, filled with self-pity, sappy motivations, and a bunch of whiny kids. A wild suggestion, why not take the drama from the beginning of episode 39 into a different direction? Extend it with another 20 episodes, remove the romance, have the FL be the empress of her nation, and conquer neighboring nations.

a story of love and hate. melodramatic, well-made, seductive for the delicacy of nuances and the drops of magic, work of the ambitious Korean film industry, it seems be far by classic series . not always convincing, it has the gift to explore in inspired manner the roots and the force of feelings. a love story, it represents a not bad story about the choices and their birth. story about political ambitions, it is a beautiful fresco of a great civilization . interesting , nice, remembering slices from childhood, it is not exactly great but useful as entertainment and as door to a special universe. the old themes in new clothes. that could be all. or, only the beginning because, like each series, it has as character the viewer himself.
