jongski Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 @Go Seung Ji I was trying to emember what was that drama he turned down. Thanks for the info. I'm with you I am actually happy turned Man Living in our House, this is just better and much appropriate for him with the character.. I don't watch historical dramas but I'll make exception for this one. It's YSH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, there isn't a specific moderator for each thread. There are mods for each section. I'm one of the moderators for the Kdrama and kmovies section. So I, along with the others, check on all the threads in this section. Sometimes, youll see multiple mods commenting in the same drama thread; other times, there may be only one or none. But we try to keep an eye on all. Feel free to PM me anytime if you have any other queries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could "Ga-Eun" possible be Jang Ok-Jung name before she came in the palace?. If I'm not mistaken, this king's love of his life was concubine Jang Ok-Jung. History says that she was the most beautiful lady of Joseon. She's not just a beautiful lady of her time, but she was the most beautiful lady of the whole entire Joseon period.

However, i'm going to wait for further info before making my judgement. Moreover, Jang Ok Jung is a controversial historical figure , some dramas portray her as someone who is a victim and innocent, other portray her as someone who is cunning (she was known for her greed for power ). I'm not Korean, so I don't know much about Korean history. I'm just guessing at this point. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of Korean history can shed some light on this mysterious character(Ga-Eun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just take it that it is the King Sukjong of Joseon, the 19th king. His history background and Family tree are splendidly explained by Berou. Say if the King's identity is confirmed, but what about that Woman behind him Ga-Eun? is it totally fictional or just using dramatic liberty to add fake back-stories to some real consort's true story? They just like to take the liberty in adding cheesy romantic lines, adding dramatic stuffs, which is way better than twisting the actual history, as long as they don't twist history, we are all fine with it. If its Sukjong, then Yoo Seung ho will have a hard time making his Crown Prince uniquely his own. because Sukjong was portrayed in ways too many korean dramas before this. list of Korea Dramas that are involved with King Sukjong are: Portrayed by Kim Jin-kyu in 1961 film Jang Hui-bin. Portrayed by Shin Seong-il in 1968 film Femme Fatale, Jang Hee-bin. Portrayed by Park Geun-hyung in 1971 MBC TV series Jang Hui-bin. Portrayed by Park Geun-hyung in 1981 MBC TV series Women of History: Jang Hui-bin. Portrayed by Kang Seok-woo in 1988 MBC TV series 500 Years of Joseon: Queen Inhyeon. Portrayed by Im Ho in 1995 SBS TV series Jang Hui-bin. Portrayed by Jun Kwang-ryul in 2002 KBS TV series Jang Hui-bin. Portrayed by Ji Jin-hee in 2010 MBC TV series Dong Yi. Portrayed by Seo Woo-jin in 2012 tvN TV series Queen In-hyun's Man. Portrayed by Yoo Ah-in in 2013 SBS TV series Jang Ok-jung, Living by Love.[8] Portrayed by Choi Min-soo in 2016 SBS TV series Jackpot. (cr. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukjong_of_Joseon) Sukjong's women are as famous as himself, in fact he had quite a collection of outstanding women, So Which concubine / Queen of Sukjong: 1) Royal Noble Consort Suk of the Haeju Choe clan (숙빈 최씨) the most notable drama portrayal were 'Dong Yi' (Han Hyojoo), in which (portrayed by Ji Jin-hee ) King Sukjong's most respected woman is Dongyi herself, who is actually Suk-Bin Choe. Being a royal concubine who bears a son (future King Yeongjo), which became the later grandfather of Yi San. (King Yi San which is portrayed by another drama "Yi San" ( portrayed by Lee Seo-jin).) Suk-bin Choi openly supported Queen Inhyeon and was against Jang Hui-bin (who history remembers as an evil and cruel woman.) It is also SukBin Choi who help to exposed Jang Hui bin later. A Strong and intelligent lady. 2) Queen Inhyeon of the Yeoheung Min clan (인현왕후 민씨) everyone who watch Drama "Queen In-hyun's Man", will always remember this saeguk supernatural fictional-plot love story, well this Queen Inhyeon (portrayed by Yoo In-na ). The Second queen of Sukjong, in fact known as one of the Best known Joseon Queens, during the rising of consort Jang Ok-jeong. Inhyeon was desposed, and her family were exiled. She died young of unknown illness, leaving no issue to Sukjong. This is not a Queen well loved by Sukjong, while she is famous, and well known in virtues, A virtuous & respected lady. 3) Jang Hui-Bin, Royal Noble Consort Hui of the Indong Jang clan (희빈 장씨) ( i pray that it is not this one). She was known for her greed for power as a queen, as much as her beauty (famed as the most beautiful Woman of her times). Jang Ok-jeong who produced a son, and psycho the King into making her a Hui-bin, from a lower Su-bin, then proceed to be the 3rd Queen Consort. She single handedly cause an infamous blood-bath event, (including first causing Queen Inhyeon to be disposed which later on reinstated, and finally linked to Queen Inhyeon's unknown cause of death, evidences found including Shamanist priestesses in her chambers . Most of history and drama depict her as scheming and , Even though only one drama 'Jang Ok-jung, Living by Love', acted by Kim Tae-hee, suppoed to white-Paint her as a victim instead of an antagonist. She beared the Crown Prince Yi Yun, which later became King Gyeongjong. Just hope that no matter how beautiful she is, i don't think she deserved to be that "Ga-Eun"... her name is Jang Ok-Jeong, Nothing close to 'Ga-Eun'. or, Yoo's character is Not King Sukjong. (just spirited to do some reading on Sukjong. For me, beside the millions dollars question of "Who play Ga-Eun as loveline of Yoo?" i guess, the character of that Female lead is who? that role must be someone virtuous, sassy and witty, ardently supportive, all in one.. whatever, but cannot be a character that turn antagonist later on. they better write the character Ga-Eun well, else its hard to feel chemistry in having not able to like the female lead.) (i have been watching saeguk dramas for a while, i liked the scene where Crown princes were persecuted by the Much Younger Queen step-mother. i liked scenes, where princes show teeths and craws... then in the night sneaks out palace or into moonlid garden to look at his one true love, a woman of lower rank who cannot be accepted as even consort (concubine) yet. Like Ga-eun to be a strong, witty, patient, trusting woman that stand as the tree that don't mind hid in his secret garden, yet can shelter his storm, grow tall branches that help him to climb high up to view over the rooftop to look out outside world, to wipe his royal tears which non of his subjects can see, to let the prince shown weakness and be himself to one person only in the world. . Yoo will be such a powerful crown prince... did we not seen his icy eyes in Warriror Baek Dong soo, did we not see his passionate eyes in I missed you... did we not seen his teary eyes in Remember.... i want him to be merciless, forlorn and agonised at the swtich of a scene.. Yoo can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot under SBS, and SBS don't do good sageuks . Sageuks are MBC's specialties. Both Warriror BDS and Goddess of FIre is under MBC. thank God Ruler MotM is under MBC. anyone know Park Hye Jin wrote what drama before? some times the Writer is even more important than the director.

Thank you, @maryofbethany, for mentioning me here! @evelynray usually when i am engrossed with engrossed with a drama 101%, i will be addicted to reading recaps to find out the diff views, sometimes it takes diff bloggers or recappers to point out diff views or characters analysis that are interesting, a lot of things to learn from recappers, there's always areas where all can agree to disagree, even if ideas are diff. edramaclouds, one of my fav. was hoping it will be reviewed there. happy you'll be hoppin on. @valsava what is FIP.... ? yes there's a lot of factor when it comes to drama, not just picking the best Actor. the Actor is the Eyes and voice or tears or smile that tell the story. the Writer is the Brain that lead the whole body. while Director and the rest of the crews function as other vitals... without all these Brain (writer) and Director ... no matter how good is Yoo, it will be wasted talent. Yoo's drama will have fierce challenge with Lee 'YoungAe's Saimdong, Light's Diary' (SBS) which will be airing from Jan to April (Wed / Thur), both saegeuk. Ruler will also be Wed / Thur... wow.. there shalt indeed 'be blood shed' (at rating war). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
