[...] I know, since professional actors and their family are used to this kind of act. Though the drama learned from Chuno and did not expose too much skin. To me, it’s like they want some romance for Sword Saint and [...]

HA HA .

Full of ugly women jealous of LDH. She looks great and just fine in Chuno, does not take away from the story at all.

Confirms to me that a lot of people out there are in a conspiracy to bring down others who are better looking than them.

That female slave flirting with that male slave struck me too as as having perfect white teeth smiling for toothpaste advertisement while her face is smeared with black ash with no trace of burden on her cheery flirting face.

My criticism ? I m still amazed that the chick that play the revolutionary slave with a dirty face but her teeth are immaculately white ! That is what made me wonder for days. While the leading actress did not distract me that much. I think the reason they want her bare that much perhaps they have followed the Chinese bigscreen movie :” The curse of the golden mum” where maids are wearing tight wraps which could be untrue also.

“fans complain that it takes away from the believability of the storyline ”

“believability”? really? are they watching the same drama I’m watching? believability went out the window a loooong time ago.

and also – the reason for over-the-top criticism is not because it’s popular; it’s because there’s a lot of dumb ppl out there.

there is only one complain I agree with and that is, that Lee dae hae’s (also the other girl from the singing group) character is in a little too pristine condition . they are on the run constantly and yet has no signs of facing any hardship. I think this is in part the directors fault, for not making it more realistic. this issue is not only prevalent in this drama but many other dramas as well. most of the time lead actresses have perfect make-up and attire in situations where in reality it would be anything but. I understand it is a drama and the actresses have to look attractive, but at least make an effort to stick close to reality.

Aside from this issue, which is not that major, this is an excellent drama so far. all three leads do a phenomenal job portraying their characters and the supporting cast are great too.

Looking forward to future episodes.

Strange Koreans are complaining about LDH’s character being so clean, pretty and so on. Koreans are kind of blind if not idiots because many of the historical korean dramas that I’ve seen are like that.

Even the refugees like that in King Dae Joyung are clean and watch the villagers’ dress and faces. So funny because their clothes are not even torn or old eventhough they are poor and refugees!

That goes for many korean historical dramas too so what’s the big deal?

Have a life and just enjoy Chuno without getting emotional!

How unfortunate that people have chosen to single out Lee Da-hae’s cleanliness more than the other mild historically accuracies like the male cast’s perfect teeth and hot bodies. (Though I concur, a little dirty wouldn’t hurt Lee Da-hae.) As to the blurring of her bust line, an unnecessary move by the producers but nothing that detracts majorly to the overall story.

In my opinion, the only glaring problems (that I have seen thus far) with the drama are the mainly weak female characters… and that, to me, is no fault of the actresses. The story writer(s) has(have) created main female characters (Sulhwa and UnYeon) that seem to be written in to be more like obligatory elements to the kdrama rather than as meaningful characters that are meant to truly strike a tune with the audience. Hopefully, though doubtfully, this changes even slightly over the course of the drama.

From time to time I visit this forum, this controversy almost make me dropped my jaws.

Polish nails ?
Have you seen the hands’ guys ?
It’s almost the same !
Even the woman slave with a dirty face have beautifully manicured hands

Clean and make up ?
Seol Hwa is very clean too, she even wore much more make up than LDH (dark eyes liner, red lipstick) who complaint ?

And please save me from the showing shoulders !
From the first ep, we see a lot of half bare shoulders from the women around Watson and all the guys are half naked most of the time ! Why nobody complaint from the start ?

Chuno is all about visual beauty : Beautiful scenery, beautiful actors and actress, and when it’s beautiful why not show it !!!

I’m not Korean but I used to watch Korean films and dramas I love the beauty of your country, of your actors and actress and you “bashers” ought to be proud to have such a beautiful and talented actress such as Lee Dae Hee

She acted very well, from the happy and vibrant UN to the lost and dead inside HW.

You “bashers” have to go out of your corner and take a look at the world, learn to have open minds and some sense of art and beauty

And me, without understanding a Korean word, I will keep on enjoying Chuno, the hot guys and the beautiful pure and immaculate Lee Dae Hee, every body manicured hands, clean clothes and bare shoulders.

Thank you to let me voice my opinions !
