   @kdfan,
   Considering Gongmin was the last king of Goryeo, n a change of dynasty was at hand, their lives could be nothing but turbulent.
   By the time Yi Seong Gye defeated CY n established the Yi dynasty, CY was an old man. I doubt that the drama will follow them into old age.
   I’m finding out that I like history. Not sageuk in itself, but the history (or folklore, e.g. TPM) on which it is based. At first I was hoping this would be fantasy, now I like its historical references.

   eps.10
   such as graphics it’s the story become. today is down the same with the rating .. I saw Es with his innocently of thinking to get back to his world by thinks could outsmart a snake like KC with his charm .. OO and it makes CY increasingly worried about it. n King worsened see all the way to build strength blocked by KC .. I was so sad to see the expression on his face: (
   hope next week eps back to the top !!
   @ KDaddict
   ES may decide to stay and marry CY.. althought they only have a little time for together and I think it will be happen before king ordered him to fight for the Monguls. so I hope 14 eps left it will only show us much about CY n ES and time for kick KC from Georyeo

   reading the comments above on history, i find myself now reading from wikipedia those portions of korea’s history from which this drama is ‘loosely’ based, (this drama is not purely historical). in many ‘historical’ movies i’ve watched, the writers and/or producers had the ‘privilege’ of ‘twisting’ or ‘making up’ something to make the production more entertaining, like the time travel in this instance. my interest now turns to hwata’s ‘diary’ and if the ‘heaven’s’ doctor could eventually go back to her time and world. if there is romance between choi young and the doctor, my guess would be that the doctor stays in choi young’s time and world. the writer cannot make him leave cy’s world or that would be ‘changing’ history! we’ll see what the future episodes bring! cheers!

   Ok, this is a fantasy drama… so I don’t know why they can’t just go full-out with the fantasy and simply change history. What’s holding them back? Why do they still need to be faithful to real history if they’ve already got time-travelling and people with magical powers in the show? It seems so silly to me. Choi Young doesn’t have to stay in ancient time and die. Just let him do what he needs to get Gongmin established, then he and the doc can hightail it back (or forward) to present day, and live happily ever after.

   My comment on ep10:

   To me, this ep is extremely dark and sad with so many being killed by the hunchman/woman of the mousy KC.
   So sad because they get killed for being loyal to the king.

   I can empathise ES’s fear and frustration when she found out that she had messed up history-poor gal. If I were her, I would have gone insane.

   I like the part when ES apologised to CY for failing to save the ex king and then went to bid good-bye and exhorted hime to take good care of himself – so sweet. Love the part when she tried to kick him. However, I’m still complaining about the lack of interaction between the two – I want to see romance!

   Note: I don’t understand why the king’s men are so incompetent in guarding the palace; security seems really slack.

   @Tonberry,
   In the previous comment that u left for me, you put words in my mouth, n then called me ‘small minded’.
   “..people are biased against LMH…people are irrationally attached to their favorite actors…”.
   Those were your words, your meaning, not mine. Now, I have no control over how ppl interpret what I write, but if you would be so good as to read the rest of that post, which said:

   “3. There r many flavors of ice cream. Some love chocolate, some love strawberry. To those who love chocolate, stwbry is tart, n taste like cough syrup. To those who love stwbry, chocolate is bitter. One group will never convince the other.
   Personally, I’m glad that there r so many K actors, becos we all have different tastes.”

   It ought to be clear that I meant there were different actors for different tastes, n it was a good thing.
   Why be so rash to put a negative spin on another’s comment, n insult them for your own erroneous reading?
   An amicable exchange/thread is always more enjoyable than a contentious one.

   @KDaddict

   Hilarious. You divided your post into point 1, 2, 3. So I responded to them thus. If you meant for point 3 to be a continuation of point 2, then why separate them in the first place? Point 3 has little to do with point 2 as far as I’m concerned because in point 3 you offer a nice, sweet olive branch to all viewers, while in point 2, you unfairly labeled other people’s criticism. I agree with your point 3 that there are many actors to fit the varied tastes of the audience. So I have no criticism for that comment. I DON’T agree with your point 2, which was the only point that I was responding to.

   In point 2, you belittle other people’s criticism by interpreting it (your words: “I suppose what they really mean is:”) to be nothing more than a petty snipe against LMH because they are comparing him to their bias/fav actor.

   I said—-”How small-minded of you if you think that the main reason people are criticizing LMH is because they are irrationally attached to their favorite actors and can’t be convinced with reason that LMH is a good actor”—- I said that because YOU said there is “no convincing” such people, even if you argue “until you’re blue in the face,” because “in their heart of hearts, they already love someone else.” You say they behave this way because “they consider LMH to be a competitor of” their favorite actor. <—These are all your words, clear and precise. There is no misinterpreting them.

   My response to that comment was to point out that it's small-minded to think that people only criticize LMH because they see him as competition of their fav actor or are comparing him to their bias. In fact, you can be critical of an actor's performance without it being related to your bias at all. I pointed to less famous actors as example of people who have few ardent fans, but are still better actors than LMH. This is to prove your assumption wrong.

   So you see? I've no problem with your harmless little ice-cream-flavor analogy. I happen to agree with it. I just don't like the part you wrote BEFORE that, which was obviously the only part I was responding to. So if you had read your own post correctly, you would understand where I'm coming from and not feel slighted by my response. Ok? ^^

   Ep10
   Evil is winner, no struggling. This is what i call this ep. Our hero is helpless. He can’t do anything and i feel sorry for him who ‘s struggling in vain. ES is grasping the situation now. She wants to go back. She is struggling in vain too. The king is just doing something but a big wall grows in front of him. He even can’t struggle. Evil is too powerful. They use supernatural powers. What Woodalchi’s sharp swords can do? They seem so lacking. They are struggling in vain too. I’m just so curios to know how they can save themselves from this situation. It’s getting more and more interesting.

   @KDaddict
   Thank you for historical info. Actually i was too lazy to check it. But you did such a good job. =)

   Now i compeletly realize why LMH is very expensive and powerful in Korea. How else they can make people to go and check their history if not for LMH’s portraying of CY. I bet real CY wasn’t as half pretty and charming as LMH.

   In Warrior Baek Dong soo two boys were much more pretty with those hairstyles. The more manlier one was Park Sihoo’s hairstyle in Princess’man. But our hero’s hairstyle is not a bit pretty.I hope they change it as soon as possible.

   I thought flute player doesn’t have any human feelings. His face is always expressionless but it seems he possesses some emotional qualities too. I saw jealousy in his face. You are right. He ‘s interested in fire lady. But i think he is very scared of KC. I won’t b surprised if they reveal he is actually a lonely orphan with paiful past and a heart full of revenge. You think there is any relation between him and that painter?
   But For now, he is mostly for decoration. It would be good, if they can give him an opportunity to show himself.

    @Tonberry,
    When I learnt to write, I learnt that a complete thought reflected in writing has more than 1 part. The whole post was a unity. I’d be contradicting myself if I accused ppl of being biased n irrationally attached to their fav actors in 1 paragraph, n say in the next breath that it was great that there were diff actors for diff taste. Doesn’t make sense.
    A simple “I’m sorry I didn’t read your comment in the light that it was meant” would work.
    You know why I bring this up? When you interpret and Re-write a harmless comment in a way that is offensive, sb will come along, read what you write, n say: “Oh shit, sb is insulting us or or idol.” They get riled up, a couple of nasty comments follow: “Yes, let’s get her; Go, go, go; So good to have sb like you, to stand up for us, etc.” , then it becomes a free-for-all. At that pt, it wouldn’t matter what I actually did write or mean anymore. Mob psychology takes over. With strong emotions tied to certain actors, it doesn’t take much to break the Harmony of a thread.
    Happy commenting to all!

    If that is the way you were taught to write, then you failed completely because the points in your post do not match up whatsoever. You DID contradict yourself by accusing people of being bias, then later trying to say that how great it is that there are different actors for different tastes. That is PRECISELY what you did! That is why I took exception to your comment. Please, for the love of god, go read your own post again! What you wrote in the post is clear as day, so it’s absolutely hilarious and shameless that you would outright lie and try to say you did not contradict yourself.

    And no, I do not apologize whatsoever for what I said. As if I would. I stand by what I said. There is no “in light of what it meant” with regards to how I read your post because what you said is clear. I speak English, lady. There is no need for “interpretation.” Your silly ice-cream analogy wasn’t so deep and profound that I had trouble making sense of you. All I did was respond exactly to what you said, and I even provided you with your own quote to prove my point. I did not interpret a “harmless” comment in an “offensive” way because I used YOUR OWN QUOTE to show you how offensive your comment is. Ok? What you said is simply offensive. And it’s only right that I stick up for myself and the people that you unfairly accused of being bias. When you make nasty comments about people, expect that they will follow up. So don’t play the victim now and pretend like you’re just trying to keep the peace around here, and it’s other people who are being mean. You may not cuss or name-call, but your comments are rude nevertheless.

    And speaking of which… what a joke. YOU’RE the one who brought back that old post from weeks ago. So obviously YOU’RE the one who wanted to start something back up again, so don’t try to throw the blame on me. So did you bring that argument up so that—”sb will come along, read what you write, n say: “Oh shit, sb is insulting us or or idol.” They get riled up, a couple of nasty comments follow”—? lol. Be honest. That was your intention, right? You’re being a total hypocrite and you don’t even see it. It was finally nice and quiet for a few days here, but you just couldn’t let that go could you? You had to start the argument back up, and then this thread becomes hostile all over again. Nice going.

    And look, there you go again with the passive aggressive talk. If a bunch of people fight back when you say something unfair, then it’s a “mob psychology”? How about this… how about instead of people being mad because they have a mob mentality, they just get mad because what you said is simply offensive? Hmm? Have you ever thought of that? Or do you always just throw the blame on others without first considering your own words and action? What a way to live.

    @sara-658: when you say LMH is “expensive”, do you mean how much he is paid per episode, or total series? or why they got him as the leading actor in this drama? i’ve always been wondering how expensive are the korean dramas are produced, as it is one of korea’s best exports (per the KBS news i watched the other day). in a country i know, it is publicized how an actor can demand his price to agree to be in a movie or tv production. i wonder if the same is true in korea.

    I don’t think LMH is the most expensive and powerful in korea u must be imagining things because he’s ur bias…infact he ranked as the lowest in 2012 as the highly paid K-actors!

    Come on girl, i said “he is VERY expensive and powerful” not “the MOST expensive and powerful” and he is not my bias. I”m even not his fan and by expensive i mean producers are willing to pay so much for him and i explained the reason too.

    As a foreigner who is not interested in Korean history at all, i’m very curious to know more about CY. Could a documentary make me interested? Could listening to historians’ lectures makes me interested? Could reading complicated, boring history books make me interested? Not at all. But when i see a handsome, adorable, strong CY portraying by LMH, i get interested to know him more. That’s why he is expensive and powerful. And it’s not just him. How many foreigner knew Jumong was founder of Korean peninsula before watching Jumong? I bet nobody. So you need to know that what i’m saying is a general fact and LMH is just an example. I’m not fangirling him and my one and only bias is someone else.

    Just a fan here, and I was wondering if anyone could explain since my Korean is fairly limited…

    How are Cheon Eum Ja(???)/the guy with the flute and the fire-lady (for lack of better terms ^^;;;) related to KC? I think they call him saje or sahyung… Is that just formalities or does it mean like brother-in-law (but I can’t see any of them as being married…) or maybe like an older cousin? Or are they just his evil (but unrelated) minions?

    And yes, as someone mentioned above, I hope we get to see more of their backgrounds as well.

    im agree whit you in comment 664 because Jumong was very popular even in my country and after that people get interest in Korean drama . for me and a lots of my friend if he wasn’t LMH maybe i never start watching this drama but know im interest in story and CY personality. i want know who really was .
    but i really believe actor must be lovable and when you hear his name you want watch all thing about him and LMH is so lovable i know a lots of people that like LMH and watch Faith because of him.
    for me LMH like G-dragon when you hear his name you want hear all the music he made.
    lee min ho and G-dragon i wish you all the bestttttttttttt

    Yes. Even it ‘s not needed to be a fan to admire an actor. I don’t get why some people think you only have to admire the one you love and if you say one or two admiring things about an actor, they will tell you, “he is your bias.”

    I don’t think so. One’s love or hate for an actor doesn’t change the truth. For example, i don’t like Jo won even a bit. But i do believe that he is a great, handsome, tall actor and seems to be a very polite and down to earth person. So if somebody reads my praising comment about him, one might think he is my bias. While as i said i don’t hate him but i don’t like him either.

    Anyway, my point is that people need to open their eyes to the truth. If LMH is a handsome man and a good expensive actor, you should accept it. Even if you don’t like him.

    And this is off-topic but i agree about Genius Dragon.

    @Rel-667,
    In the old days, ppl who trained under the same master (usually in martial arts) were regarded to be brothers n sisters within the same ‘family’. KC being the oldest n senior member of the gang of trainees is their senior sa-hyung. Then comes Fire-lady, sa-ja to those jr to herself; lastly comes Chum Eum Ja. So evidently their master specialized in these unusual forms of martial arts based on Ki Gung.

    @sara,

    @sara, princess,
    I think there are 2 major kinds of viewers:
    Those who love KD before the actors; n those who love the actor first, n KD after. The potential for misunderstanding is always there between these 2 categories of fans. Their language, their emotionality n mentality bear no similarity.
