I can’t believe tomorrow is a new episode of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love! I had a killer busy week so suddenly finding myself facing Monday is both depressing for the work but exciting for more drama goodness. I’m not yet so rabid about JOJ that I was desperately craving the preview for episode 5, but it was odd how long SBS took to release it. Having aired just 4 episodes, I’m surprised it’s already not showing a preview for the next episode. That worries me whether it’s because the airing has caught up to the live shoot this early on (never a good sign and especially concerning when its a sageuk that takes longer to film), or whether SBS withheld the preview to make cuts to it because its perhaps scrambling to tweak the drama due to its weak ratings so far. Lots of sageuks take time to develop an audience and typically for the 50-episoders it will build up a steady following in no time. But JOJ is a 24-episode sageuk so SBS might not have the patience to nurture this drama. That would be a shame, because I for one am loving its tone and tempo. I don’t find the editing jarring like some have said, the drama doesn’t direct the audience from point A to point B but rather presents sometimes disparate events for the audience to mull over quickly and process within an overarching narrative development process. The dramas is moving so fast and the preview shows Lee Soon marrying In Kyung while Ok Jung discovers that she is too weak to combat the forces keeping her mother and her down and she will choose to enter the Palace as a serving maid. I also glimpse perhaps the arrival of Hyun Chi Soo in all his fighting glory. So excited!

Ahhh!! Thank you for sharing! I almost thought I couldn't survive the weekends without my weekly dose of JOJ! Honestly, haven't felt this way since Nice Guy. But thank you for this quick update preview! :D
I'm so excited!! It's wedding day!
You're right, this drama moving so fast. Even so, I still get to enjoy it
I really hope the drama will be able to keep its pace like now. and Please don't cut down the eps T^T
i'm so rabid over this drama. i've watched episode 3 and 4 for almost 3 times already. haven't felt this way since lie to me. hahaha. i started watching Gu Family Book and i find it interesting as well, but I find JOJ way better in terms of plot and tone.
what..i feel the same way as you..i thought i was super crazy when i kept watching the old episodes to keep myself from going nuts over this drama...but LIE TO ME is another story...that drama was boring as hell..it started really great but went down hill so fast that it felt like a slap to my face
I thought I was the only one replayin episode 3/4 several times. Seriously. Last time I did this it was with k2h.
This show is just moving so swiftly I cannot even fathom how they're gonna do the rest of the 20 episodes. Wedding already? It's gonna be a roller coaster ride. Strap in y'all!
This drama owns my heart! If you told me few months ago that I would be swooning and psyching over a drama about a king with a harem of wives and concubine I would call you crazy. But JOJ has been the perfect historical romance drama for me so far.
About the editing - it's actually one of the thing I like the most because it's not boring like in the most of the sageuks.
briseis ?!?! xD
you are not rabid over this drama yet?? BUT I AM!!!.. you have no idea i have waited in torture for the next episode of this drama...i kept day dreaming of what to come next..i feel the drama is so beautifully romantic..i really like historical dramas where the LOVE THEME is one of the main focus..liking this so far..i am sad that it is getting ow ratings though..SIGH
