I'm very picky with watching historical dramas since my Korean isn't 100% good so I tend to get easily lost ^^;; I really like the characters and the acting, it's an interesting watch, plus it's not overkill with the dramatics compared to some dramas I've seen =/ I'm kind of surprised by the ratings :o! 50 episodes is a lot...and I kind of hope they don't extend it lol. I feel bad for the ratings on other dramas though, looking on conversations on Soompi, people say not to rely on ratings and that they're not always correct, but I have no interest in ratings that much... only on the drama's plot, and acting XD Isn't there more dramas airing soon? The ratings will probably change... After reading the plot summary, and seeing the promotional stills I decided to give it a try when it first aired.

Is it that the Korean audience just love drama, cliche, and unrealistic themes? Sorry, just lamenting on some of the superficialism that gets to me. But maybe they need all this, and all the material possesions - S. Korea ranked #1 in the world for the most workaholic country, surpassing the 2nd place country by over 30% - and it looks like they'll be maintaining the record for several decades.

I have difficulty watching saguek dramas for some odd reason, they interests me but I have trouble sitting through a 2 hour movie let alone a 50 ep marathon. Well hopefully they continue to do well. ^^ thanks for info java, great as always.

My favorite will still be Dae Jang Geum and Jumong. So far QSD hasn't quite reached those levels. The best part about QSD is the storyline and Mishil. While I think the main characters are doing okay in their portrayal, they're acting just doesn't match that of Song Il Guk in Jumong. Plus the king of QSD is a total weakling. I am, however, loving the girl dresses up as a guy and finding out that she's a princess storyline. I also love new characters like Bidam. As for Brilliant Legacy, I wouldn't call it in the same levels as "national" drama either because it didn't really revolutionize dramas. It seems too cliche and it probably only had good ratings because there was no competition during that time.

Java is very very thorough! Brillant Legacy was not mentioned in Java's thread so why even bring it up? Ratings? Is it going on now? It has ended so leave it be. QSD is a great drama and I hope it does become a "juggernaut.” btw, java did mention Brillant Legacy before; perhaps you just did not read it when it was mentioned! SO leave it be! @22 how rude!
