		<description>Lol....such strict viewers...

They are just for entertainment and since I&#039;m not korean I don&#039;t really know too well about the history and culture so it doesn&#039;t bother me but I guess it does for other people.However, isn&#039;t the purpose of a drama/movie is to enjoy instead of criticisizing? Well, one can criticize but let&#039;s do the enjoyment first. I usually spend my time enjoying the movies instead of questioning then afterwards if I think it&#039;s worth the sarcasm/critics I rewatch and find the flaws. Still, I think my time are worth more doing something I have to do then worrying about little details. Lol, cut the directors some slack. ^_^</description>

		<description>wow...i am soooo out of the loop cause i didn&#039;t think there&#039;s such a thing as circle lenses even existed!  i just always assume they&#039;re regular contact lenses.    i agree with waywardbird that reusing a set is totally common.  hk tvb is famous for reusing their sets and costumes.  they think they can fool the viewers by adding something here or changing the stairs of the house to the left but it&#039;s the same set and and costumes.  it&#039;s really a no big deal.</description>

		<description>reuse of sets is so common - bewitched&#039;s house uses the same rooms as jeannie&#039;s house.   many people live on same streets when one examines the backdrops.  
but in historical dramas, this can lead to funny interpretations.  whatever happened to enjoying the story and the acting and letting oneself get lost, not worrying about the sets.  i would think the audience is aware that the shows cannot be filmed in the actual historical time and place as it was, and that what is important is the relations, ideas, beliefs, world views, events, people, emotions.  now, inaccuracies in these is another story....</description>

		<description>the sageuk dramas must have almost all of the things accurate then because viewers are complaining about such a little thing as circle lenses. (is the use of circle lenses common outside of korea? this is the first time i&#039;ve heard of it. but i have big irises...)

reuse of sets can be a big error, however, if there are things in the sets that are anachronistic.</description>
