Man, this drama could be the sanitized version of A Frozen Flower except totally het instead of BL, and that would be fine with me but probably couldn’t air on network television as yet.

The latest poster is basically eye lovemaking between these two, with the lovely touch of Ro Woon holding the king’s robe behind Park Eun Bin who is dressed in her princess regalia. Surrounding them is a quartet of youngsters also attempting to do their best sageuk performance with Nam Yoon Soo, Choi Byung Chan, Jung Chae Yeon, and Bae Yoon Kyung, with the production released first stills of these supporting leads this week. The young guys look like they are cosplaying but the ladies are just radiantly pretty solely on visuals alone, so colorful!

Okay, this post really should be a series of exclamation points and question marks and WTF headdesking. Or perhaps I’m simply unable and unwilling to look at that butcher’s cleaver that is time and accept that reality when I heard … Continue reading
This is a very youth visual heavy drama but since it’s adapted from a manhwa I can totally see the push to cast per the shoujo style drawings. The upcoming romance sageuk Affection (Yeonmo) has reportedly started filming with a … Continue reading
