  so excited for this one!

• Date marked, looking forward to the drama! The second picture with the eclipse and orangey tones look kind of romantic.

• Looks awesome!!! Excited!

• It's funny how Nam Joo Hyuk looks one of the shortest. I thought he was pretty tall. Looking forward to this one even tho I'm not a fan of IU. LJK is gonna slay!!!

• WUT! This drama has gone from Goryeo Power Rangers to Goryeo Action Heroes. Not complaining though. The visuals are beautiful, the earlier photos were so misleading. I even like LJK in this one. Gonna check this out for sure and I don't really care whether it's a fitting remake or not. Just give us good writing and directing and the cast will deliver the rest.

  • I never watched the writer's past works. But given some comments that are critical of her writing, she's a risk factor to ruin this pre produced drama. I hope I won't be disappointed.

    • Lets hope shes better off writing adapted screenplay than coming up with original screenplay.

    • Dramas are seldom ruined by acting. They are almost always ruined foremost by writing and then PD.

      Is the writer bad? I have never watched any of her works.

    • Hi D, a currently running pre-produced drama is ruined by acting (by one idol actress)... which is too bad as the writer is acclaimed for melodrama.

    • Hi candycane, I am not watching UF and it would be unfair for me to comment. I can only guess as much from the teasers. Assuming Suzy single-handedly ruins UF, she is still the rare actress who's capable of doing so. I'd put the blame on the people who made the decision to cast her or perhaps they are very aware of her limitations but chose her for her popularity over acting.

    • @candycane, it's so obvious which idol you're referring to. LOL...Agree with you.

    • Suzy is not the greatest actress but this single handedly ruining UF is way over the top. That drama has enough problems (and a few positives), there is simply no way she is solely responsible for it not working.

      Even if she is an ordinary actress, UF is first and foremost a vehicle for the male lead. Had he elevated the drama with his acting chops it would have worked. That has not happened.

    • @Karuna, KWB is doing fine. He emoted well at sad scenes imho. I'm not his fan and I even disliked his looks before. But to be fair, he's still an actor who can act. Suzy's acting is uncontrollably bad beyond remedy that nothing or nobody can help save the drama even with a star writer like LKH. Suzy may as well stay as a CF model and let JYP just milk her CF commission cows.

  • Yes, Yes, Yes It almost always is the writing. I have never stopped watching a well written drama for so so acting or directing.

  • @Drama2016 I checked out this drama for the writer. I know next to nothing about both actors or their backgrounds. Purely going on this drama I have to disagree. Don't want to run down actors but boy has a long way to go and seems to be getting a bit of an easy pass for UF. Personally as I wrote on DB I think of it as a drama that should have had Splash Splash couple. Anyway I am no longer watching it after Ep 7 perhaps it will improve later.

• Wow the teaser looks great! Exceeded my expectations. The princes are gorgeous and IU is beautiful. <3 Cinematography is A+++. As expected of the director.

• What does heck is the color theme in the last pic? Just like a ghost drama the >.<. I put my trust in Kang haneul. I personally don't believe Lee junki can release the same manly aura that Nicky Wu ever did in the chinese version.

  • Personally I dislike Nicky Wu's 4th prince A LOT. Therefore, anyone staying away from Nicky Wu's aura may be a better selling point to me.

    • Same here.

    • +1
      Its good that LJK's intepretation of 4th Prince in no where similar to Nicky Wu. Plus C-version 4th Prince is a scholar whereas K-version is a warrior. I have all faith that LJK will slay in this role.

  • I personally like the tone of the last pic lol. It has a historical feel about it. I don't think much of costume dramas using neon/ too bright colours which make the whole thing look like a technicolour play.

  • I've never been smitten by Lee Jun Ki but Nicky Wu? I got to admit to being shallow, I just can't stand his looks. He's the reason why I was never on board Ruoxi and 4th Prince's ship in BBJX. But he did play the part well, better than I expected and he did exude the aura of a prince who was to take over the throne. I never thought that LJK looked like king material but he does look manly enough in the teasers so far. Just don't wear too much eyeliner, fancy fringes and earrings. Also, go easy on the angsty and brooding stares, I've always felt LJK overdid those things.

  • I don't expect him to exude the same aura as Nicky Wu. In fact, I like that he interprets the 4th Prince in a way very far different from NW. Plus, the 4th Prince in the C-version of BBJX is a steely scholar whereas the K-version is featuring a warrior instead. And trust me, Lee Jun Ki will slay this role. I have no doubt and full faith that he will own this role. This is his year, I can feel it.

• I really hope this won't turn into fan service for ahjummas and teenagers.

  • Is it a romance story in the novel? if it is then it'll turn that way, look at those flower boys, they're sparkling lol

    • The C-Drama is very much focused on the female character who really carries it. For all the talk of the guys (I mean I do get it) and all the shipping wars that will be forthcoming, it is about this woman's relationship with the princes (not all romantic). I would say it is a romance set in very interesting times. The C-Drama was romantic but it was also brutal and quite dark.

      I thought Nicky Wu did a fine job and, hey, the two leads are married now.

    • I have noticed this with C and J dramas, often they are focussed on the female lead even if the guy supplies the requisite hotness for shipping. Somehow by the time a K version comes about it becomes all about the men (with exceptions of course).

• I know Haneul will never get the girl, but I'm rooting for him anyways lol

• Despite the pretty, the male leads seem to blur into one, especially when you don't know most of them. IU looks lovely and stands out. This is probably not my cup of tea though despite the visuals.
