Thanks for the tag @Sleepy Owl! 

 

Blind items writers, is this a dry run for the Christmas guessing game event? 

 

Aiya, I think I only saw 2 or 3 (1 some episodes and clips) among these dramas! 

 

Anyway, here are my guesses that I'm fairly certain I got right. Ahahaha, should be right cos those are the dramas I fully watched and partially watched. 

 

Spoiler

1. Empress Ki

5. Jewel in the Palace

10. Mr Queen

No doubt he should be a Mr abs lols

[Sleepy Owl]

Chingus, here is the additional clue for the Blind items #11, #12 and #13 

 

Blind #11

 

We've got a lot more juicier rumor thanks to our sources in the palace. The Queen J is seen privately meeting Mr. "G" a lot, and the talks between them are far from normal. No, they are not only political, most of them have been romantic, and we suspect them having an affair! Mr. G is the leader of the strongest Tribe in Gugoryeo, and we suspect he is using the Queen to control the King, or maybe thinking about a coup now that Princess B is out of picture! 

 

Is the Prince who is Queen J's son really King's son? We have a lot of questions on this affair. 

 

Mr. G's son who is a very well known warrior has also turned into a drunkard thanks to Princess B's marriage. He has been in love with for years, and this is what happens when you don't confess your feelings earlier. Maybe things would have been different if he had confessed his feelings earlier, earlier than Princess B meeting Mr. O the fool. 

 

Blind #12

 

Few days ago we reported about Mr. S disrespected Ms. A and called her in as a witness for the recent murder case. But now a lot has been happening since then and we wouldn't want our lovers of Gossip miss it out! Ms. A's fiancée Mr. K is finally back from Japan completing his studies! Mr. S who also seems to have fallen for Ms. A is sharing the same floor in the guest house as  Mr. K. 

 

While you would think things would get ugly and blood would be shed since a westerner Army Officer (Mr. S), son of richest man in Joseon (Mr. K), and the leader of most vicious Japanese Gang in Joseon (Mr. D) are loving the same lady. But, we saw him having a drink in the same bar together! How is that possible? How often do you see a westerner, a Japanese and a Joseon person have drink together in a bar?!

 

All we can hope is, they don't turn against each other while being drunk and end up killing someone else by mistake!

 

Blind #13

 

While listening to Queen S's story and the news about Mr. B's rebellion you may have thought Queen S has suffered through her life, we got to tell you that while this is true, but Queen S is a very tough woman. She is not an ordinary woman, and no ordinary lady can become the Queen of a powerful nation. 

 

Queen S is a very powerful and witty, seeing how she survived her political fight against lady M. She has also been part of Flowery Knight Squad during her youth days when she was cross dressing as a guy in order to survive! Yes, things maybe tough for her, but she has seen tougher days and surely will be able to go through Mr. B's rebellion!

 

If you think Queen S is alone, and has got no one to trust upon, then also you are wrong. She has got General Y around her, who is the well known throughout the peninsula for his battle tactics, and she has got her nephew, Mr. M who is her twin sister's son and is the most probable candidate to replace her and become the King. 

 

Hope the new clues help you Chingus in solving them

I'm sorry @Sleepy Owl I don't think any amount of hints will help me. 
 

Next poll, ask me about dailies. 

[YongZura⁷]

Just wondering, what is it about Sageuk that is not to your personal liking? (anyone)  Would you mind sharing it?  Thank you in advance.

Are you asking me?

 

I'm going to answer it anyway.

I have nothing against sageuks or idiotic dailies. I just happened to start on something and needed to know the end, so I watched a show.  I only have so much time, so it's triage.

 

The last sageuk that I'd watch was Lovers of Red Sky, very straight forward and greatly enjoyable. The current The Alchemy of Souls is mindboggling to say the least.

Any show must have a RobinHood or Richard the Lion Heart type hero and equally admirable heroine. I think that's why AOS didn't grab me.

Thanks @maribella for the response. It's for anyone who find sageuk is not their cup of tea.  I appreciate it very much.  Me too loves dramas which have female leads that have admirable qualities especially in that era where it is rare to be seen by public.  I guess that's why I still love Jewel in The Palace (I can't remember how many times I've watched it) , The Flower In Prison  etc.  It will always start when they were children and grew up to become beautiful, smart ladies facing various challenges etc.   Not so much as damsel in distress. 

 

p.s

BTW, I've learnt a new word - triage. Tq

I had only watched 2 sageuks on this list as I am not a big sageuk fan. But @Sleepy Owl made sure that these clues are written in a way that one can find the drama by googling the clues.

[maribella]

Goodness, I had watched 2,5 and 8. I think my mind closed with the characters 'Flowery'. 
 

No flowery guys in future please.
