View Comments

• OMO, OMG, the visuals! I always love girl-power fueled drama. I looked at her character photo-still and I can’t believe it’s actually her, I almost thought it was a different actress, it gives me a different feel from her past works. I’m intrigued! I’m still wary of the screen writer of the drama, but I’m mighty impressed with what I see so far, and the costumes! It’s gorgeous. Why can most historical dramas be featured in this era? I’m surprise we are given goodies this early since it won’t come out until March, but I’m not complaining haha

  • I'm not confident with the screenwriter too but I have faith in KSH that she will do great. Fighting MROTR ❤️

    • I’m sure she will do wonderful, I’ve always enjoyed her performances no matter how mediocre the scripts are!

  • The screen writer is not totally lackluster. Almost of his dramas fared well in ratings. Maybe the PD can help him with filling in his weaknesses because the PD is the one behind The King Maker and Taegukgi.

    • Ratings isn’t what made me enjoy the drama but the writing but I hope that it achieves success in both haha

  • @Laura Absolutely agree! Kim So Hyun is indeed such a versatile actress, she can be angelic/innocent, then turn into a badass in a snap! Totally different vibes from her past characters! So Hyun is definitely born to play this kind of roles, she's such a queen! Super excited for this!

    • I’m incredibly excited too, I hope they make good use of her talents : )

  • I'm wary because of the writer and also the whole 'Ji Soo in a sageuk' thing (I love him as an actor but even I admit he wasn't good at the sageuk diction in Moon Lovers, but he can emote well so there is that).

    But Kim So Hyun always delivers. Even when I think the drama is whatever, she's never given a bad performance.

• Kim sohyun looks badass and i love it. I really hope she does great in this one, as a follow through drama to further solidify her main female lead status.

  And oh my goodness, Lee Jihoon looks so amazing. I cant squel enough even though that still is the most boring pic in these set. ive seen countles of these types of profile from historical/wuxia dramas but its making me so excited.

  I like jisoo, but he does have shaky performances, so i am going in shipping lee JiHoon.

• Kim So Hyun is literally the best and most versatile among her peers. She can play any characters flawlessly.

  Anyways, when she is going to sign with Culture Depot?

  • Soon hopefully!

  • I am looking forward for that to be official. Excited what will be her projects and endorsement deals under Culture Depot. E&T made a good job for her acting projects but failed when it comes to endorsements.

• Queen!!! Err princess lol.
  That gaze alone, wow!
  I have been a fan since Missing you, but she still continuously shocked/surprised by her every new project. The versatility!!!??????

• *Screamss!!!*

  The gaze tho..wow wow... i just hope her character keep going strong till the end! come faster March!

  • I honestly wouldn’t have that expectation, the only female lead character in a korean drama that I watched that remained strong almost from beginning to end this year was in Mystic Pop-Up Bar but even then in parts of episode 16, she started to be uncharacteristically weepy haha

    • hahahhha.. just no more like her character in Ruler, then i'm all good.. even KSH herself feel so frustrated that her character doing nothing...

    • I honestly couldn’t finish ruler, the story was written so poorly and it was so dull in certain areas. I only watched the highlights of the drama on YouTube... I watched the kissing scenes, the kissing scene by the shores at nighttime was so passionate haha

• I want kneel down and worship her. That gaze, piercing into my bone. I got goose boom the first time i saw it. Kyaaaa... >< I really like their costume and the cinematography too is amazing.

  I'am surprise that they give us teaser early, but i am not compline ehe

  Is there any news about her new agency?

  • When the first stills were released by Victory Contents on IG, the comment section was flooded with requests for Kim So Hyun (because they only release far shots) And there it is. I love love love it.

    • I mistype my email.

• somehow i love the title u give ?

• @koala please tag KSH in this article. I’m actually monitoring the font size of her name in this blog’s sidebar. Haha

  • Please @Koala Kim So Hyun is not tagged in this article. Please tag her.

• Lee Ji Hoon has more male lead vibes already. Ji Soo needs to work to keep his ML status up. If Ji Soo can't perform well, Lee Ji Hoon will easily overshadow him.

  • i think that's because of he is a general, which make him stood out as much as the male lead, while jisoo was made as a fool, which is unusual for a male lead character. but nevertheless, i believe with the male lead and female lead's ability and chemistry

• Sounds like there’s an actual plot here, now that makes me excited!
