@KDaddict
I choose the drama first then the actor/actress
For me after Bridal mask ended my favorite is May queen, I enjoy it more than Arang
September 16th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
I think Ryu Duk Hwan is a good actor. Hopefully will see more of his appearance.
September 17th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
I really recommend everyone to watch the innocent man it’s amazing and the acting just amazes you…. I like faith but I think the innocent man will be my number one drama of the year…
September 18th, 2012 at 8:29 am
I don t get it. Why are they making the Kings people an guards so stupid, that the jerky prince can get away with so much. On top of that the High Doctor is so annoying with her screeching and whining.

Ep 11:
Been waiting to find out what’ll happen to these ppl becos they are so ill-matched when they go up against KC, his special killers, his schemings, his blackmails, kidnappings, murders, n general ruthlessness. All they have is CY on their side. CY sure has a lot to guard: Doc, the king, the queen, the ppl that the king invites to join his court, etc. That’s a hell of a lot to fall on the shoulders of 1 man.
In this ep, we see Doc turning down CY’s protection to go to Heaven’s Gate on her own, but more importantly, we see CY’s determination to die again. He tells his aunt: ” Lately, I can’t remember her face (his fiancee). If this goes on, I won’t be able to recognize her on the other side. Before that happens, I should go meet her.” And then he goes to charge KC’s compound all by himself that night! My heart sinks on acct of all his sorrows.
What will happen to them? The king will be replaced w another n soon Goryeo ends. What will happen to him? Can’t he be granted some measure of happiness?
September 18th, 2012 at 9:10 am
Viewers who were annoyed by the Doc’s ditzy behavior finally get relief. Starting with ep 10, n in ep 11, she comes to understand firmly the gravity of her situation n CY’s, and turns really somber. But CY misses her smiles, n so do I.

what can i do to make it?
September 18th, 2012 at 11:47 am

September 18th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
I loving this now

Ep11:
So far, ep11 is my favourite.
I like how the plot is developing. The doc has finally realised “the reality” of the situation and decides she cannot implicate CY by being with him. I suppose if I were her, I would have done the same as well.
I find those lighted moments e.g. when the doc asks for direction by lowering her voice and how she tries to kick CY funny. I am definitely delighted by the growing awareness of their feeling for each other between the doc and CY. I think this part has nicely unfolded itself in a subtle but convincing manner.
Really look forward to ep12!
September 18th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Who’s excited for episode 12?????? RIGHT HEREEEEE
September 18th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
Did anyone see the preview for episode 12? I saw CY pierce a sword through him AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I see wrong or is it true?????
September 18th, 2012 at 10:43 pm
i just watch faith teaser Kang ji hwan version and it looks better. I guess i can watch it if it’s like the teaser. You can see it in dramabean recap of ep 11, you can see the link in the comment or find it in you tube. It’s really awesome…….Don’t miss it
September 19th, 2012 at 5:36 am
finally we could see CYs smile and his ice finally break.i like ep 12 and ill be wait for ep 13. i hope we can see a lots of romantic scenes like ep 12
September 19th, 2012 at 5:37 am
Ep 11
I’d like to look at the drama from emotional point of view. So One word for this ep: beautiful. Doctor is changing bit by bit. She doesn’t smile even once in this ep and i love when Young tells her:
“You don’t want to smile in front of me or you no longer smile?”
He loves her smile. It gives him hope. Beautiful
“Don’t protect me any more. Just let me go” Doctor tells him sadly.
He loses his hope. This is the second time a woman tells him she doesn’t need him and doesn’t trust him. So he chooses the king who puts his trust on him and decides to scarify himself. Beautiful yet sad.
The emotional part of the plot, the evils, the king, the hero’s character are developing slowly and beautifully.

Ep 12:
We finally see proof positive that Doc cares abt CY romantically. She puts her life on the line to save him from killing himself while trying to take out KC. Yeah!
Perhaps @hny was right all along: she can stay behind in Goryeo to be with him! But she’ll have to abandon her parents. Would you do that for that person w that face?
Alternatively, he can go fwd in time to live in Seoul w her, since he has nothing to hold him back in his own world. She can take a few antiques w her, sell them to raise capital for her research n clinic, n he can be her Model. “Come to me for plastic surgery, and you can look like Lee Min Ho”!
As for the Choi Young who lived in history, perhaps one of the Woodachi guys or one of the 2 Suribang eager beavers who followed him around can take his name.
September 19th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Why doesn’t the show make better use of the Woodachi men? They r used like stuntmen when they strike in a group. But I love it when they gather to joke abt their leader’s budding romance.
Why doesn’t the show make better use of Firewoman n Flute guy? They r mere pawns, tools of KC.
Neither the men nor the special killers have any life, any story of their own. What a waste.

this drama is boring….. i just watching this its because of lee min ho,the lead actress is so irritating
September 19th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
@KDaddict…haha (I do)..actually I wish the most that alternative!! he go to seoul w her.. this fantasy drama will be more great..(hope the writer hear this )..perhaps Dea Man will follow him but I don’t know if ppl in seoul can stand with he speech
I thought that too.. the writer seem just focus arround politik and KC ambition.. n little romance 4 2 couple .. they not made story for other cast more meaning full even for Han doc..why good talented actor like lee philips just sit n walking arround the klinik !! OMG.. althought I’m already feel enjoyable!! but I hope in a few episodes left will see other cast life story in this drama …Cha Yo writer nim!!

Ep12
We can see a new side of CY in this ep. Strong, strict general who fights skillfully and adorable, cheerful Young ah who can melt your heart just by his smile. Doctor smiles again and decides to stay and help him. I love when she warms his hand and he touches her hair fearfully. Now, he has a new motivation for living on. I super loved the fighting scenes too.
@KDaddict
I also think Woodalchi is wasted. Why they are always one step behind? Mostly they can’t do anything. They are warriors after all. But as you said they can change the serious mood of the drama by their joking and fooling around. I love their relationship with Young too. They might be useful in the later episodes. I hate those two stupid evil characters. I don’t think anything changes, if they will be removed from the drama.
September 20th, 2012 at 7:25 am
Wahhhh, I like this drama, but its going really slow. Hello what happen
to the romance??? Its moving like molasses. I thought this drama is
the greatest love story. But where??????
