I'd love to see Park Sun Young as the lead in anything, but why must these historical dramas always end in death and tragedy. Didn't anything good ever happen in those days?

With contemporary standards, I seriously doubt it. There were no drugs against diseases (hence low survival rate), infant mortality rate was extremely high, wars, slavery and other jolly things. Life was cheap and, at the same time, too difficult. That's why romance is beautiful in historical dramas,- it mostly works as a distraction for the viewers and frankly, that's why I like it, too...
