Love and revenge go to war in Sword and Flower

87 June 24, 2013July 8, 2013

by girlfriday

Okay, time to check back in with Sword and Flower, whose premiere (in a little over a week) totally crept up on me like a ninja cat. Where did June go, and why don’t I remember how I got here? Here’s a boatload of stills, teasers, and character posters for KBS’s new Goguryeo-era sageuk, starring Kim Ok-bin as a princess who’s proud, loyal, and capable, and likes it on top. That’s my kind of girl. On top is the better place to be anyway, especially when you’re deliberating between the lovin’ and the stabbin’.

Uhm Tae-woong co-stars as Mighty Mountain Man (or that might just be what his hair is called). But I’ve either had too much to drink or not enough, because it’s growing on me — the moppy look. It makes him look kind of sensitive, like he might spend his off hours from war writing poems. It also fits his character’s description as the illegitimate son of power-hungry dictator Yeon Gaesomun (Choi Min-soo, in Cape of Glory below), who struggles to be accepted as a rightful son but gets rejected by Dad. Aw.

He wants nothing more than for Dad to accept and acknowledge him, and so he applies to join the palace guard to prove his warrior skills. He passes, and gets assigned as the princess’s bodyguard. OH. That’s adorable. I know it’s not a rom-com, but we’re not going to waste the setup without a few hijinks, right? Just a teensy weensy morsel of cute before the death and destruction and vengeance begin?

Yeon Gaesomun’s coup against the king (Kim Young-chul) will throw a big wrench in the romance, especially because the princess isn’t your average damsel in distress. In fact the king relies on her more than he does his son, and she’ll take it upon herself to avenge his death. Ohn Joo-wan plays her cousin who grew up with her like a brother, but he’ll betray the king for the throne and eventually be stuck between puppetmaster Yeon Gaesomun and the family he betrayed.

Park Su-jin plays a warrior on Yeon Gaesomun’s side, and Lee Jung-shin is the maknae member of the palace guard. He sports a big public crush on the princess, but I foresee some bodyguard bromance with Uhmforce in due time. They can braid each other’s hair. It’ll be great.

The teasers range from expressive with hints of epic, to downright strange (Why is there an upside-down Spidey Kiss about to happen?) so I don’t know what to expect from the drama proper. But it has all the ingredients for sweeping romance and big stakes, and a heroine I can get behind, so my hopes are up and my fingers are crossed.

Sword and Flower premieres July 3 on KBS.

Really interested as well. I prefer Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Goryeo era sageuks to the Joseon era sageuks. By the time you get to Joseon, all you get is endless political debates and 2 parties going back and forth, saying "Jonnnnnnnaaa" Your Grace is Immeasurable, Kill us. Plus, the women are rendered useless, and are just there to be traded back and forth.

But in these early eras, there was intrigue, battle and kick ass heroines, who wore armor, went to war and didn't just stay home, waiting for someone to come rescue them. Basically, there is more meat to the story.

forgot to add. I hope this is the sageuk that brings back the grand scale and epic feeling to Korean historical dramas. If you consider the advances the Chinese and Japanese have made to their historical dramas, one wonders why these broadcast stations won't invest in showcasing their country's history better.

The battle scenes are anemic, they rely way too much on one camera shooting, the costumes and sets are very limited and you can see the shoe string budget a mile away. So many dramas that should have been given a proper depiction, got destroyed by poor plots, bad acting, and low budgets.

I am still irritated by how badly, KBS bungled the story of Gwanggaeto the Great - considered one of the greatest warriors in history, and instead that drama was riddled with people scream acting, horrible costumes and 60% of the time, people sitting around a table. When the figure is known for his elite cavaliers and the drama couldn't even budget for horses, you know things were headed for disaster.

Lol, sorry I got of base, but I want the return of the epic sageuks, not that I have issues with the fusion sageuks that have gotten popular, but fusion sageuks are not historical, they are largely modern characters, dressed in pretty costumes, with no connection to the time period they are supposed to be in.

Well, true (grand and epic-scale) sageuks, so to speak, have died out over the past few years, and they're so few they can be counted. The era of the great commanders of sageuk, PD 故Kim Jae-hyeong, Woon Goon-il, Kim Jong-seong, script-writer Yoo Dong-yoon (PD Lee Byeong-heon for "Dae Jang-geum" & "Heo Joon" ), and also the great novellist 故Park Jong-hwa, and others, have gone by, along with the numerous masterpieces now part of legends. I can't remember which recent true sageuk have been successful. The last past attempts ("The King and I" & "The Great King's Dream") were, in a word, pathetic.

Fusion sageuks, however, are so numerous they're done mostly for eye candy and to please. "Damo", "Jumong", & "Gyeongseong (Seoul) Scandal" couldn't even be considered true sageuk no matter how much ratings and love it raked in.

I agree with you on Gwanggaeto. They had so much to work with to make it an epic show. I was so disappointed I bailed after 10 episodes and never look back.

Sitting around a table talking saves budget money, LOL. I've noticed it happens a lot in weekend and even more so in daily series, but I don't mind too much in daily series, since the only time people gather is around the dining room table. The historical shows, well, I guess because things are cheaper in China you can get that big-budget look easier.

Daeeeebak.
lol Daebag makes me read it as "Dae-Bag". . .

anyway, the thing I dislike about fusion-sagueks and sagueksin the Goryeo period is the perfect hair (for girls especially, even though they are supposed to be warriors or whatnot! That bang that is always across the forehead!!! ARGH) and the weird, fusion-looking costumes. The bad thing about sageuks is that sometimes they skimp on something..like camera quality or sets and it really makes everything look and feel cheap (i.e. that one that Lee Min Ho was in). Although I understand that not ever sageuk can afford a budget like Princess' Man, Chuno, Tree with Deep Roots, I hope the sets or camera quality, or costumes become a deterrent for me -_-'. WHY AM I SO PICKY?!@#$%^&*

if i'm going to watch this, it'll be for Lee Jung-shin - can't help it, i get easily dazzled by the pretty.

question: in the spidey kiss teaser... how come this man's hair doesn't allow gravity to influence it? is it like, the super-mane, the anti-gravity mane of glory or what? :D

though when considering the whole cast, these guys will definitely win the mane of glory prize for all of them. not even "faith" had so many... though it might be a first-impression only, LOL.

aaaaand... if the bodyguarded (i made this up) princess ends up on top - and presumably wants to off the bodyguard himself, he should quit or get a guard for himself. again, i volunteer the pretty boy. at least he'll get plenty of screen time like that, so i'll be (forcibly) made to watch :D

As for this drama, I like all the players and I'm getting a bit of a Princess' Man vibe from the premis. The h seems a little more kickass, and the roles seem reversed. Still if it's even half as good, it'll be wonderful. I wonder if Kim Young Chul is ready for the role reversal here. Karma maybe.

Finally! I've been waiting for the bodyguard/princess loveline to be the main romance in a kdrama since Sandglass. We see the silent bodyguard type all the time in kdramas (Katsuyama in Gaksital, Gon in Gu Family book) but they NEVER get the girl. Heck, they're never even loved by the girl, much less getting a happily ever after with them. At long last, one wish fulfilled :D (Although I know this is set up to be a tragedy so I'm steeling myself to take on the angst).

Goguryeo, during Korea's 3 kingdom era. Probably my favorite era, women had higher status back then. They rule kingdoms (3 queens ruled Silla), they inherited properties, built new nation (Queen So seo-no - Baekje), etc etc.

It's Joseon Dynasty era. Confucianism, the national religion of Joseon that originally came from China and spread to east asia promoted discrimination against women.

Rovi

June 25, 2013 at 2:19 AM

No, Silla has the one with women having a higher status. I mean look at Mishil and Queen Seondeok.

Required fields are marked *

Kiara

June 25, 2013 at 6:02 AM

Goguryeo did not have a female ruler but that doesn't mean that women's status in general were any lower than those of Shilla, thanks to Buddhism's influence and its principle of equality. Goguryeo embraced it for over a century before it became a state religion in Shilla. Seon Deok became queen shortly after because there were no male heir to Shilla's throne.

Mishil is as real as the Hwarang Segi lol. Most people only heard of her from the QSD the drama. Her character was based more on the novel named Mishil written by Byeol-A Kim.

Required fields are marked *

YT629

June 25, 2013 at 11:25 AM

Agreed. While Gorugyreo did not have any female rulers, the Three Kingdoms period was such that there was more flexibility and political opportunities for women in general. That was a common trait for that whole period, and to an extent, continued into the Goryeo period where women warriors still existed, etc.

However, history should be distinguished from kdramas. While kdramas often take a real historical figure like Queen Seon duk and dramatize her life for entertainment, the writers also often make up entire characters and take huge liberties as wel. Mishil was such a character. The character of Ja myung in Jamyunggo was also a completely fabricated character. The character of Se ryung in The Princess' Man was a made up character. It's common amongst fusion sageuk writers to do this.

And finally, circling back to the original comment, any kdrama set before the Joseon period will show women with their hair down. (for reference: Queen seon duk, Jamyunggo, Empress Chun Chu, The Great seer,
King Geunchogo). The convention of young unmarried women braiding their hair back demurely didn't really become prevalent until the Joseon dynasty when the Confucian ideals of feminine modesty came to the forefront of social norms.

The title sounds like a 1970's historical romance novel-ya know, the ones with the semi abusive father figure hero and the heroine half his age that is labeled 'strong' because she occasionally mouths off to an authority figure

As much as I love UhmForce I'm skipping this. Sick to death of sagueks and the evil queens. Thank goodness Mandate of Heaven is wrapping up if not I would have given up on it.

I'm just happy to see that Park Su Jin isn't wearing orange lipstick. Seriously, do they do that to her to emphasize that her characters are usually unlikable?

Also, swords peeking from scabbards = slightly dirty.

Uhmforce! Kim Young-Chul! (Playing a king again!) This had better live up to its marketing - if they've abused the "Goguryeo-era Princess' Man" theme, THERE WILL BE BLOOD. And it ain't gonna be from me.

(Seriously, everyone should watch The Princess' Man now. NOW. And then try and tell me that your expectations for this drama aren't sky-high!)
